I recently added a presentation by two young polyglots, who talked about their experiences at the Polyglot Conference this month. The following week Harry came to meet me in person in London, where I was giving a seminar at The Language Show. I thought that his debut video would be interesting viewing for everyone here too. He is keen to get more involved in our lovely community, so I have told him about this site and some of the events we now have going on too.

Thanks for sharing! I've spoken to Harry on Skype a couple of times, and we text-chat every now and then.

That's really impressive. His accent is pretty good, too, though his Swedish seems to
have a worse accent to my ears, either because he hasn't studied it as much, because I'm more sensitive to an accent in Swedish, being a native speaker, or because Swedish is inherently more difficult to get right, what with its singsong prosody and all that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
