I don´t think it s even possible

 

btw this guy is from my city and he speak 19 languages, also portuguese, you can say me if his pronounciation is fine, also same question for the serbian, italian, spanish etc users

 

 

Yeah, just like I thought, this is BRAZILIAN Portuguese  

(there are much more brazilian portuguese speakers so it's normal that at many places, when I see things in Portuguese, they are in Brazilian Portuguese )

Portuguese (from Portugal) is quite different in accent, and I believe it's a bit harder for foreigners than the Brazilian version.

 

In any case, I think his Brazilian Portuguese was quite good!

As usual, people trying to learn lots of languages for some reason never try learning danish or swedish

That's what I thought when I heard it, maybe that's why I liked his Portuguese  (I very much prefer the Brazilian Portuguese...no offense  )

Hahaha, it's ok, I would have guessed that from your profile avatar   Besides, I admit the Brazilian Portuguese is easier to understand (we say that they speak with "open mouth", while we here speak with "closed mouth") so maybe that makes it more likeable for foreigners  

I think the only people I met who prefered the "original" Portuguese were the ones that had been here visiting the country

Back in 2009 when I was travelling to Brazil, I went from Brussels to Lisbon to Brasilia and I remember thinking "you're talking weird" when one of the airport people in Lisbon said "bom dia" in the Portuguese way instead of the Brazilian way

His portuguese is almost perfect

 

And that's because he don't consider as one of his best languages. Man, I wish I could speak fluently 3 or 4 languages, let alone 19.

 

Interesting enough, he says in the video he talks with a friend in Guinea Bissau, so maybe he got some influences from him

Feels like a medley of pop song (coz I'm really into national anthems)

My goodness.. His Mandarin Chinese is absolutely better than me (which is a shame since I'm from Chinese descent)

 

And even he speaks Taiwanese! Not much "x speaks y language" videos features Taiwanese, it's funny to hear a language that I use quite often with my family members being spoken by a foreigner. And somehow he has the "middle-aged man speaking style" in certain parts of his speech

[crovitlaci 177]

He has a bit of problems with pronouncing ''č'' and ''ć'' in Balkan languages, but not a big deal, many Croatians also don't pronounce it correctly. 

[dareza 911]

He said. "Počeo sam da je ćitam kada sam stigao kuci." He is great

 

and word takođe (7:02 in video). He said tako(?)e. After a long time I heard this non-existent letter ( I can't write because I don't know how to write)

 

 

But you are right for č and ć, not only for Croatians. In other countries also people have "problem" with this.
