Interesting to hear what Kazakh sounded like; a

That's not surprising because both languages, Kazakh and Turkish, belong to the Altaic
language group. Amir told me that because of this language similarity he could understand
quite a lot of the Turkish dialogues, which I read aloud in my You Tube video.

They belong to Turkic group, which is a part of debated Altaic family. Turkic languages
are close to each other, Altaic languages can be as far related as Indo-European
languages. Old Altaic languages are not known well and the family is hypothetical.

Hi everyone! Thank you for nice comments in this thread and I apologize for taking such a
long break.

Yesterday I uploaded a new video and I felt that I had to share my thoughts on this.

Nice! I really enjoy your videos and congratulations on your outstanding language accomplishments. I'm dying of envy concerning your success with the French language, and still puzzled (though not complaining, mind you) about the bikini in your Интересная дискуссия 2 video (I don't speak Russian, so I am left wondering).

I recall you indicating in one of your other videos that you don't watch TV, so just in case you missed it (or care), the canuckleheads lost in sudden death overtime an hour ago.

I agree. By the way, thanks for sharing your videos with us. I wish I could speak Russian
as good as you, one day. And it would be great to have a multilingual chat with you one
day. All the best!!!

EDIT: You're great imitating people! :-D

In this video I present my view on so called "Polyglot community".

Youtube polyglots Moses McCormick, Steve Kaufmann and others

I could not hold it anymore.

Cheers,
Amir
