This guy is 21 and speaks 11 languages.
I'm not sure to what level, but he sounds pretty good to me. Meet Alex..... What do you think? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I always am a bit dubious clicking on language-learning related content from major news
sources because it's always so exaggerated, but this guy is really impressive. Of the languages I can judge in (Spanish, French, German, Dutch), I can say that his accent is quite good in each. He's really lucky to have discovered a passion so young, it seems to have really helped his accent formation. I'd love to see a more extemporaneous example of his skills as well. Does anyone know if he has a website or is active on any language learning forums? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Impressive.
I wouldn't say his accent is good in Russian, though the overall skills are fine. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

His Spanish and Catalan skills are good (although we'd need to here properly flowing speech to confirm), but even
though the accent is 'right' it doesn't seem to flow properly? I guess this is more due to do with how short the video is and the format etc. Hmm... We need to get torbyrne to interview him! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Once again I'm reminded of why I should learn to juggle or something if I want to make a living. So many overachievers out there. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

He's excellent, but he's obviously reciting a text he's learned by heart.
In French, he kind of misses "embrouiller". 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I can't comment on most of his languages, so I won't, but I am happy to see a video of another English speaker who is learning Afrikaans and I think he speaks it well.
