linguaEpassione | A chat with "Alaric polyglot" about his visit in Brussels and maintaining languages (in French!) @linguaEpassione | Uploaded August 2018 | Updated October 2024, 3 minutes ago.
Hello everybody!
When my friend Dragoș visited me in Brussels back in July, we suddenly realized that he had been able to practise a bunch of languages during his 3-day visit... Let's find out which ones!
Since we met in Brussels, we decided to speak French in this video. Hope you enjoy!

Finally back with a new video! Time to practice my 11th language, so here comes some beginner level Mandarin Chinese, just to kinda set a starting point in my language learning plan for next year, 2018!
Please note that Im aware that I speak veeery poorly but Im still moving my first steps in this language, and I have learned in an extremely inconsistent way so far, which Im planning to change in 2018! ;)
Id be grateful if you could help me by pointing out my major mistakes, and hopefully Ill be able to improve and to see some progress some time next year :)
Thank you in advance!!!")

Welcome to PART 1 of this language learning experiment! PART 2 coming up soon!
In this video Im talking with the great Tomomi-san (big THANK YOU to her), one of my tutors for Japanese conversation, about all sorts of topics: from sports to insects, from musical instruments to why the most difficult language for me has been... youll see :-p
The conversation is 2 years old, so this is my level towards the end of 2018. Since then, Ive practised Japanese roughly once to twice per month, in order to maintain it.
So how has my Japanese changed since? Has it changed in the first place? Maybe it hasnt. Maybe Ive improved my confidence, or my grammar, or my vocab? I sincerely dont know quite yet.
Well find out together. Hopefully it has not become worse! XD
Stay tuned for PART 2! :)
0:00 - 1:00 Intro & Greetings
1:01 - 3:05 Whats this experiment all about?
Topics discussed with Tomomi-san in this video:
3:06 - 8:53 Playing sports: the fun & the injuries

I dont consider myself fully fluent in Japanese because of my insufficient listening and comprehension skills, but at least I can say that I have almost no problem in everyday conversation. Please feel free to point out my mistakes so that I can stop making them! ;D
Please let me know if you like this kind of videos or find these useful, because from that will depend whether or not Ill upload more similar videos in the future (in other languages as well)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK!

Further notes:
- this video was recorded in Apr. 2017 on two different days and at different times of day, so I apologize for the sudden changes in lighting (whoever has spent some time in Brussels knows just how it is like here :D).
- This is a long overdue video and Id like to thank all my friends (not only polyglots!) for their encouragement to finally reach out and join in...
- While I am aware of some mistakes that I made in this video, I do appreciate corrections because these can make me a better speaker, thank you in advance for your help.
- A couple of things in these video are already old, in that the most recent Polyglot Gathering was in Bratislava at the beginning of June this year, I was there as well and it was a lot of fun! Also, in the meantime Ive been in Romania for the third time and I loved it once again, had many opportunities to practice the language and (hopefully) improved my conversational skills (still need to work A LOT on my vocabulary though).
- I promise that my next videos will be much, much shorter... :)")
