I recently came across another polyglot on YouTube, native Spanish-speaker Mario Isla.

He hasn't put up many videos, so far just a demonstration, a Russian resources video and a monologue in Russian. Pretty impressive.

Cool link! Mario's Russian is really quite amazing, and to think he's only been studying for one year as well (with 5 months in Kazakhstan if I heard correctly)...I'm a little suspicious of the earphone of course, but that's probably simply because I'm so jealous that he makes hardly any grammatical mistakes and speaks so colloquially... ;)

If his Russian is perfect imagine his Portuguese! Mario has an excellent European Portuguese accent!

When I first watched his clips, I thought he had nearly the same prosody/accent in Portuguese and Russian. That was also my first impression when I had a look at "Oxford's Take off in Portuguese" course some years ago.

I felt so frustrated because I could not understand much of what he said in Spanish or in Galego...

I can only judge his English-speaking skills and his Russian. He speaks Russian phenomenally! I would say he has about 90% of native speaker's pronunciation. But not only that. The way he constructs sentences is impressive. That would be really interesting for me to see him speaking German someday...

ya veremos :-)

Yes he is very good but he has put me down and has said very rude things to me on Skype. He has said
things like "You are an offense to linguists", which is really hurtful.
