I think a thread is called for titled 'Hottest Youtube Language Teachers' or something like that.
Some of them take cute to a new level, and they're not even trying e.g. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV3d1j37Avo |

If you want to know how many languages you understand, try working as a self-employed translator. It's amazing how many you can comprehend if somebody offers to pay you to translate them.
All the European languages are related (bar Hungarian and Finnish/Estonian, I think). For instance, if you're an English speaker who knows German, then you can understand Dutch even if you don't know a word of Dutch. Plenty of Eastern European languages are broadly similar to each other, but employ different alphabets. So in the past I've been able to use the bit of Ukrainian I know to argue with a Pole. English speakers have a huge headstart in learning the vocabulary of other European languages, simply because the English language (like the British people themselves) is just the sum of thousands of years of constant immigration. There's nobody on the Continent who hasn't at some time conquered us or traded with us and added elements of their own language to our vast list of words. The genius of English is that it thereby evolved as a language in which people with no formal knowledge can "get by" - you don't need to get the grammar right to be understood, and there's always a word similar to your own for what you want to say. |
