Ziad Fazah, one of the most controversial characters in Polyglottery Realm, has been
uploading onto his youtube channel (srcforeignlanguages)some videos displaying him
speaking several languages (mandarim, vietnamese, japanese, hindi,arab, hebrew, polish,
russian, swedish, German, English, french, Spanish).

Have you watched them?

Any comments on his language skills?

OK, he lives in Brazil since a long time ago, but we have to confess, Eafonte: being a
Lebanese, his Portuguese is beyond fluency, it is PERFECT - but even in his Portuguese
video 30% doesn't like it. Maybe the number of I, me, myself?

Ziad Fazah's Youtube channel and his proficiency levels have already been discussed in this thread.

Yes, but that thread was closed by the moderator, so I think we can´t post there
anymore.

Although Ziad Fazah's proficiency levels in his chinese, English, German and japanese
videos have been discussed in that closed thread, nobody talked over his arab, hindi,
hebrew,swedish, polish and russian videos. It seems that he has added later some of
these languages.

Unless there is an unrepealed ban on such discussion, I think these remaining videos
deserve to be assessed, in spite of the bad reputation Mr. Fazad has and his delusions
of grandeur.

I just watched the video of him speaking Hindi and I must say that I'm impressed. Although he makes quite a few mistakes and his pronounciation is far from perfect, he deserves some credit for his efforts.
Even if his claim of studying the language for only 3 months is untrue, his achievement would still be commendable.

So do I. If you read the thread Doitsujin mentioned, you'll realise that it was closed because it was becoming unsavoury, with some members flaming others quite needlessly. As long as this does not happen here, there's no reason to close this thread. In other words, let's keep it civil, people!
