Please everybody check out my 24 Language Video and tell me what you think. In the video I speak the follwing languages: Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Bulgarian, Persian, Urdu, Arabic, Thai, Russian, Danish, Kyrgyz, Georgian, Pashto, Hindi, Turkish, German, Polish, Czech, Kurdish, Tatar, Afrikaans, and Somali

If anybody has YouTube please post a comment under my video, and then post a comment here. For those who do not have YouTube, you can just post a comment underneath here. Thanks everybody!

By the way I won't be claiming fluency in full public anymore, instead whenever I am in public like this, I will just say that the languages (that I have previously publicly claimed to be fluent in) are my "best" languages. I also have some other "best languages" too.

Here's the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYlokm1vLBU

Please tell me what you think. Thanks.

You may want to re-record your Arabic segment starting at 07:57, because you didn't fix any of the errors that I pointed out last time. Since it would take too long to list all of them, I'm just going to point out some obvious syntax and spelling errors in the first sentence:

You wrote and attempted to say: أنا ممكن أتكلم العربية

However, can (=being able to) needs to be expressed with the verb استطاع in MSA.
E.g. أنا أستطيع أن أتكلم اللغة العربية

And, as pointed out the last time, MSA is العربية الفصحى not العربية الفوصحد
BTW, these are simple errors that have nothing to do with fluency.

I listened to your Polish several times, but I didn't get what you were saying. All I understood was "po polsku", "dobrze", "teraz" and "i tak".

Well that was an old Arabic video, not a new one but yes I realize all that now. Thanks.

Can you write down what you said in the video? That would allow me to comment more.

Here is a correction of the parts I managed to understand:

Nie wiem, ale (?) że mówię po polsku teraz że (?) (?) (?) (?) (?), nie mam przyjaciół którzy mówią po polsku. Ale teraz, mam jednego przyjaciela który mówi po polsku i tak.

There are still many words in your text that are not Polish, and I have no idea what they are supposed to mean. What I understood is "I don't know, but (?) that I'm speaking Polish now, that (?), I don't have any close friends who speak Polish. But now, I have a close friend who speaks Polish anyway."
