Hi everyone,
I usually don't like mentioning people to others but I believe that credit should be
given where credit's due.
I've found recently a polyglot online that I think many people are not aware of. I'm
talking about Vladimir Skultety from Slovakia, this guy has to be one of the tops in
the language community. He has impeccable pronunciation in all the languages he
speaks.
Here is a video of him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrDPjGHAuk0
Do you guys have more info about him? Maybe methods or ideas? Thanks!

Well, he is a member of HTLAL under the name Vlad, but hasn't participated actively here for some time. But he's alive and well - I met him at the conference in Novi Sad last year.
EDIT: And of course also in Berlin..

He was in Berlin as well - I was very surprised to find that the guy giving the talk "Sounding native" was our own Vlad.

Amazing as always. :)
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I linked him to this thread so I'm sure he will answer all your questions.

Great to know some people are aware of him!
I've also found he has a very interesting Facebook page already:

Thank you very much for sharing the video and for the nice words.
Iversen, Jeff, it was very very nice meeting you both in Berlin (and Novi Sad:). Hope we can meet
again soon somewhere.
