She's now back with a new channel and has also resurrected many of her older videos. Glad to have her back as I always liked to watch her videos. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I had this new female polyglot brought to my attention recently when the link to a
YouTube video was posted on my Facebook page. I am not sure of her name, so for now I think the link is best suited to this thread. I hope you enjoy it! :) 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

It is quite interesting that 'MoonshineV' is so focused on Asian languages (which she apparently has studied in situ through a series of one month immersion courses). I didn't understand a thing of what she said in those languages, but it sounded convincingly enough. With the European languages I'm better equipped, and even though she downplayed her skills in French, Spanish and Afrikaans she certainly could use those languages in a natural way.
I was puzzled by the very 'pinched' voice she used for her Vietnamese demonstration (at least for some of it), but maybe it was meant as a parody of foreigners speaking Vietnamese? Small things like her trouble when she tried to switch to Arabic indicate that this wasn't a rehearsed performance, but a genuine expression of her skills here and now. All in all I was more impressed with this apparently improvised video than with many more polished multilingual videos. I just wish that I could have understood more of it.

How many women know 11 or more languages? I ask because 11 is the number Erard chose to distinguish hyerpolyglots from everyone else.
