    "The Art of Knowing A thousand Languages" = "el arte de saber mil idiomas" (please be patient and watch the entire thing)

    This is fascinating to me.

    :eek: Most of it I could understand... she's right on the money on most Spanish... I can probably imitate most of the Spanish ones... close to what she's doing or a little better...

    This video would be far more interesting if it was Deke doing all these languages.

    Would be a bit, no, significantly more impressive with some African or Asian languages in there..

    But she's still amazing

    Nice. Which country's Spanish or what area of the world's Spanish do you speak? Subtle differences are there, as depicted by the YouTube, but... I am interested to find out what you know. :eek:

    Nice ,that is quite a collection of languages. Im guessing you have various ethnic backgrounds in your immediate family , or did you live in a certain area of Eastern/Southern Europe?

    trueroxfan, knowing the people, my best advice would be to trust your Lebanese hosts.
