Moses knows heaps of languages, maybe he focuses on quantity rather than quality, but I'm
still amazed!.....How does he not get confused with his languages anyway? Does he
eventually sacrifice some of the other languages that he knows? Is this possible for some
people, or attainable? Or do they sometimes mix up things?

Why don't you message him on youtube and ask him? He seems to be pretty good about responding to peoples questions.

Since he's a member of this forum, you could:
(a) wait for him to reply to this thread, or
(b) PM him.

Well, it's not as if he doesn't use Russian pronunciations when reading Ukrainian. He does get confused. And it's not as if he's fluent in many of his languages.

All I can say is: He has the strangest accent in German that I have ever heard - absolutely not an American accent, rather Eastern European. His Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) seems to be rather good though from what I can tell.

Oh, yeah, his Mandarin and Cantonese pronunciations are pretty good. But then again they do seem to be the two languages he's put the most effort into.

Why Moses doesn't get confused with his many languages is a personal question, so Bill you should contact Moses via PM in this forum or via private message on You Tube and ask him this question. Or you can post this question under one of his most recent videos.
