Unfortunately, I cannot hear what you and Sprachprofi are saying because
it's a mixture of both of you speaking at the same time, but my guess is that you speak
Modern Greek in the video and Sprachprofi speaks Latin.

Actually we both speak Modern Greek and Latin. We tried to time it to be synchronous, but
that's really difficult. Benny's video has the foreign-language captions as well, so you
can read the lyrics of the song in all languages.

Aha, that was not clear to me, who of you spoke which language. Thanks for clarifying, Sprachprofi!

Really cool music video made by Benny and 17 other YouTube language learners.

I am in love with this video. It's a brilliant representation of the language learning world, and just how easy it
can be to increase your language abilities and cultural understanding. Plus, it is really catchy :)

So far I've had the song in my head since I heard it the first time - that's with the new lyrics! Conversamos pues! (I'd barely heard the original, would you believe that!)

I absolutely loved the video. Thanks Benny and everyone who participated for the great work and hats off to all polyglots for their impressive language skills. There's languages in that song that I didn't even know existed and some others, I had no idea that I would find them so beautiful sounding and now want to learn. Very inspiring.

I can work on French subtitles; just confirm me that they haven't been done yet.

Thanks for the continued kind words everyone! The feedback continues to be overwhelmingly
appreciative and supportive from all angles, and I continue to get compliments for all
those who have contributed. Leosmith is pretty much the only crybaby after over 20
thousands views :)

@Tsopivo Thanks for the offer, but I wanted to reply quickly to let you know that just a
couple of hours ago someone else sent me the French subtitles and I've just uploaded
them. Anything else that I haven't listed above is still open for translation!

I was thinking, wow this tune is pretty catchy. Then, I realized it was a parody of a well-known song. Yes, I live under a rock.
