I don´t think it s even possible :lol:

 

btw this guy is from my city :d 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 :lol:

 

 

Yeah, just like I thought, this is BRAZILIAN Portuguese :p  :BRA

(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! :d

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 :p (I very much prefer the Brazilian Portuguese...no offense :d )

Hahaha, it's ok, I would have guessed that from your profile avatar :p  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 :d

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 :d

His portuguese is almost perfect :yikes:

 

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 :mumble:

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 :lol:

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. :d

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

 

and word takođe :d (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) :lol::clap:

 

 

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

    • Is it true Mehdi Taremi could face visa issues due to him serving in the IRGC previously? Could US sanction professional footballers playing in World cup under FIFA? 
    • For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/
    • It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.
    • Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position
    • Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt 
    • Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.
    • Well ya, which is why the Egyptian and Iranian teams can shut up and dribble :P
    • The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle 
    • After looking at the entry list of athletes in the official website, I've changed some of my predictions in the Olympic events with these changes:   Total Tally: Thailand 87, Singapore 51, Vietnam 48, Indonesia 33, Philippines 24, Malaysia 22, Cambodia 1     Badminton (5): Malaysia 2, Thailand 1, Singapore 1, Indonesia 1   Men’s Singles: Switched from Thailand to Singapore     Boxing (11): Thailand 8, Philippines 2, Vietnam 1   Men: -54 kg (-55 kg): Thailand, -60 kg: Thailand, -63.5 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -69 kg (-70 kg): Thailand, -80 kg: Philippines   Women: -50 kg (-51 kg): Thailand, -54 kg: Thailand, -57 kg: Thailand, -60 kg: Vietnam, -66 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -70 kg: Philippines     Sailing (7): Thailand 4, Singapore 2, Malaysia 1   ICLA 6: Switched from Thailand to Malaysia     Taekwondo (8): Thailand 6, Vietnam 2   -67 kg: Switched from  Vietnam to Thailand     Weightlifting (5): Thailand 2, Philippines 1, Indonesia 1, Malaysia 1   Men: -65 kg: Malaysia, -94 kg (-95 kg): Thailand   Women: -53 kg: Thailand, -69 kg: Philippines, -77 kg: Indonesia   * I saw that they have actually change the weight categories to almost match that of IWF newly introduced categories from several months ago.      Wrestling (12): Vietnam 7, Philippines 3, Indonesia 2   Men's Freestyle: -57 kg: Philippines, -65 kg: Vietnam, -74 kg: Vietnam, -86 kg: Philippines Men's Greco-Roman: -67 kg: Indonesia, -77 kg: Vietnam, -87 kg: Indonesia, -97 kg: Vietnam Women's Freestyle: -50 kg: Vietnam, -53 kg: Vietnam, -57 kg: Vietnam, -62 kg: Philippines    
    • Many permutations possible in the last game, going to be a nail-biter!  v  is the live game on the Olympic Channel later today.   2025 WCF Curling Olympic Qualification Event – Kelowna, Canada   Team   Wins   Losses   Men       CHN 6   0     P USA 5   1     P JPN 4   2     NED 3   3     PHI 3   3     KOR 2   4     NZL 1   5     POL 0   6
