"Language Secrets From a Linguistic Junkie" This is the first of my personal video posts. This episode is divided into 2 Parts / 2 separate clips. I've tried to answer some of the many questions that have been sent to me in emails and messages since I posted my first clip on Youtube in 2007. I thought to make it interesting, I've tried to choose several different languages to respond to (subtitled in English). Questions include: What separates languages - politic or linguistic differences? What's the history behind some of your languages? What's the most difficult language? What are some secrets to learning new languages? How do I get motivated to learn languages? I've chosen languages that I'm at different competency levels in - and as you can see, it shows! Some of them I hadn't used for a long time - just putting this clip together was great to get the linguistic juices flowing again in some of my dormant languages. I also used as a personal challenge for the first time in public Vietnamese. I put this post public to set a bar for myself - so hopefully in a few months time, my Vietnamese will be much more fluent than what you see in this clip. I'll keep you updated on my progress! Languages that I speak in or about in this episode include: English Bahasa Indonesia Javanese Bahasa Melayu Japanese Chinese - Mandarin DanishRelated Blogs
