Benny Lewis | Oh, the places you'll go thanks to language learning! Tribute to Moses McCormick in 51 languages @irishpolyglot | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 25 minutes ago.
The amazing Moses McCormick (aka laoshu505000) recently passed away, so the language learning community has come together for this big send-off collaboration.
Hopefully, you like this idea of mine. I organized all the contributors (with help from Tetsu Yung and Richard Simcott), coordinated their submissions, and did all the edits (yes, all those effects were by me). Thanks to Jonathan Seabolt for gathering the footage of Moses used and music is by Jordan Grigg.
I got the inspiration to do this video from this one: youtube.com/watch?v=ahv_1IS7SiE . In my version, we each translated our lines to our assigned languages, of the poem "Oh, the places you'll go" by Dr. Seuss, which has that optimistic sense of adventure in life that I always associated with Moses. He will truly be missed, and I hope this tribute is worthy of the legend himself.
