No, it's not; it's just easier. There are people who acquire native accents as adults; I've met some. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Ok. What I can say is that her Portuguese is very good. Her accent, except in few words, is native brazilian (she speaks like a brazilian kid). She didn´t speak for a long time in the video, but she understood everything clearly and answered almost without stop to think. I also found her Spanish very good as well. I guess she has a very ´good ear´, like we say in brazil, she picks the sounds quite well. Edited by moisa on 15 June 2008 at 6:24am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

We have heard opinions from native speakers of Cantonese,French,Portuguese.Please come on board.It is interesting to know if Wendy Vo really speaks 11 languages.There are a lot of hoaxers out there.I hope she is the real thing and if she is,she can become an inspiring model for kids and for us adults too.

I think it's safe to say that Wendy Vo is competent in all the languages in question. I'm sure if she was not some
person would have taken delight in exposing her by now. As for the people commenting on her "larkspur" slip up, that's a little harsh. I'm in my twenties and that's my first time even seeing that word as a native English speaker. It's a good bet a good number of Anglophones would have mispronounced it also, so it's not a big deal. Wendy Vo is impressive; the fact that she's 8 just adds to it. She's light years ahead of most people just speaking those languages with the skill she currently has. Hopefully I'll be on a similar level as her someday, I'm pushing 11 languages myself. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Are you seriously studying 11 languages?I have been working on only 6 and I am nowhere near Wendy Vo's level and she is only 8.

Not quite eleven just yet, but I'm working on it. Currently I'm studying all 7 listed under my profile. I'm waiting
until my Mandarin hits a steady intermediate level before I dive deeper into Vietnamese though, those tones are tough! The reason I say I'm pushing 11 is because I have a nasty habit of looking over the basics of a language based purely on curiosity and eventually wind up studying it full time. Hopefully by the time I've reached that number I'll have forced myself to stop >_< 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I wonder how many people in this forum can REALLY speak more than 10 languages,at least at Wendy Vo's level.
