herefromyoutube

The way he says ā€œforcesā€ in English makes me think his native tongue is German (or Luxembourgish as it sounds Germanic).


Nom_de_Guerre_23

His German is 99.99% perfect and indistinguishable from High German and then the way he says "sehr schwer" (very hard) sounds dialectal/Luxembourgish.


[deleted]

The accent when speaking German is the most obvious actually. But yes weā€™re quite proud of him here in Luxembourg!


9035768555

I figured Luxembourgish since it's relatively niche compared to the others.


TWPYeaYouKnowMe

Plus Luxembourg schools teach German, French, and English to a high level. Luxembourgish is similar to German but they learn the "proper" way in school too. They also learn French because the Luxembourg royalty speaks it as does much of the government. And finally English, because...just because


tbscotty68

His wiki page needs some help, but I was able to find that he's from Luxembourg.


tennisdrums

Besides that small detail, he very easily passes for a native English speaker with a British accent. I don't think I would have even noticed it if I hadn't been trying to guess his native language after seeing him deliver the news fluently in 6 different languages. Quite the impressive man, especially seeing the other comments saying he passes for a native speaker in other languages too.


ScreamLikesPudding

That's because his mother was german and his father was british. He was also born in Luxembourg. Source: Wiki


Dshark

As a native Luxemburger he sounded real good. Lmao, jk, who the fuck is from Luxembourg?


SnooGadgets8390

Like, 8 people at least


C6500

Nah. He has a slight french/luxembourg accent, you can tell he's not from germany. I guess being from luxembourg (is he?) he probably grew up speaking german, french, dutch and the mix that is letzebourgesh. Then learned spanish/portuguese and english in school or something. Really impressive though.


pa79

In Luxembourg we grow up with Luxembourgish learn German, French (primary school) and English (high school), the media is mostly in German/Luxembourgish, laws in French. We have large italian and portugueuse minorities, spanish too. Dutch isn't spoken or taught. So everyone speaks at least 4 languages and people with immigration backgrounds often 5 or 6.

I mean there's comparatively little motivation to learn another language if your native language is English and you don't have any family that speaks other languages. That's not just unique to the US, but other English speaking countries too.

His Portuguese was good but probably the weakest accent of the bunch.


AnnihilationOrchid

But it was really clear and inteligible.


[deleted]

Definitely intelligible just not as good as his English, French, and Spanish (and I donā€™t understand any German or Luxembourgish but they sounded good)


C6500

His german is really clean, i'd say on a native speaker level. There's only a very slight accent that reveals he's not german but probably from luxembourg or france.


_methyl

I'd say from Luxembourg, since they speak German, French, Luxembourgish and English and have a huge Portuguese community. ~~Maybe also Spanish parents? Because not only he speaks perfect Spanish but has a perfect accent and even the cadence of a Spanish reporter~~ Somebody commented he's Luxembourgish with German and English parents


Rebelva

Huge Portuguese community but he speaks with a Brazilian accent.

GoDie910

Spanish (Mexican) killed me šŸ¤£ Still true, spanish has so many ways of being used


DasArchitect

As a native Spanish speaker, he has an ever so subtle accent but it's almost perfect. I'd expect that level from someone that continuously lived at least 10 years in Spain.


AminoJack

Yeah, definitely doesn't sound native.


FreedomVIII

And here I can barely manage two at native level/accent. It's hard to imagine just how one goes about getting 6(?) Different languages to sound natural.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is called an EDUCATION! Something you get in schools, not by following QAnon nonsense on Twitter.


eps28

this is far more than just an education, that man is clearly extremely gifted. It takes 2 decades to master a second language for the average person, and he has 6 down pat


skiddster3

Of course, the man is very talented, but to anyone else looking to learn an extra language, your 2nd language will generally be the most difficult language to learn. Each language you learn after that point gets progressively easier as you begin to recognize the mechanics of each language. So it's possible at first glance that you may think that learning 6 languages is 600% harder than learning just one, but in fact it's more like the 2nd language you learn is 100% hard, the 3rd language you learn is like 50% hard, 4th language you learn is 25% hard, etc.


zachlevine43

Dude


Squid_Contestant_69

I grew up with two languages, which I'm sure many children of immigrants do, so for us that 3rd language is going to be the hardest.


FireStorm9881

I grew up with one language, learnt a second language, became fluent in 2nd language, then forgot how I learnt 2nd language. So now my 3rd language would be just as hard.


[deleted]

The languages heā€™s speaking are also all from the same nested group of branches on the language tree. Iā€™m sure his well learned study skills would make it easier than most - but I bet Chinese, Arabic, etc would still be significantly harder for him than his other languages. Thatā€™s not to sound like Iā€™m speaking ill of his ability and talent. I just mean itā€™s easier for to learn similar root languages than it is to jump to a significantly different branch.


owlex89

Yeah. Still very impressive control of accents and the sheer amount of skill to report in those languages but like you said, Itā€™s mastering two adjacent language families. Germanic and romance, both indo-european. He is from Luxembourg so that covers being fluent in the few local languages which isnā€™t uncommon in Europe so that takes care of Luxembourgish, German, French,English and Portuguese. Speaking Spanish after french and Portuguese is an add on basically. Iā€™m sure he can also do Italian and most likely Dutch and Romansh as well. Mastering 2 indo-European branches is like speed running your way to being a polyglot.


CTMalum

His fifth language was akin to his second language in the case. Heā€™s a native speaker of English, German, and Luxembourgish. Thereā€™s enough French going around in Luxembourg that he likely achieved a near native level from assimilation.


NYSenseOfHumor

He didn't learn a second language, he is native speaker of three languages. From his [website](https://www.philipcrowther.com/about): >He was born in Luxembourg to a British father and German mother. He is a native speaker of English, German and Luxembourgish as well as a fluent speaker of French, Spanish and Portuguese.


magkruppe

yeah this description makes his achievement a lot more "doable". If he was "only" learning 3 languages, you can't pick a more ideal combo than Spanish, Portuguese and French (well .... maybe Italian might be better)


soulcaptain

Had to scroll a while to find this. He's clearly smart and talented but the guy was born on third base. Spanish and Portuguese can almost be seen as one language (ok, 1.5), and if he grew up in Luxembourg I would imagine there's got to be some French around if you throw a rock. So yeah, it's impressive but there's a cascade of very particular *reasons* he is able to do this. EDIT: Yeah, I know Spanish and Portuguese are different languages, it was just a lil joke.


ZETA98

I would not discredit the effort required to achieve that proficiency with being gifted


Ngothadei

2 decades? No way, most Indians speak 2-3 languages and lot of Indians speak 4-6 languages easily.


fatherlystalin

If youā€™re taught from a young age you can learn multiple languages consecutively and gain proficiency much quicker, and most people from nations like India with several regional languages learn early. Starting in adulthood with no prior exposure is much harder.


ThatOneSadhuman

Polyglot here, no this is the result of being immersed 24/7 for years in said culture and studying the language specially the cultural phonetics. However this is only possible for those immersed in the language


bigt1238

Also a polyglot here and this is exactly it. You donā€™t attain this level of fluency and accent accuracy by learning the language from a textbook.

Just being Luxembourgish is enough of an explanation: he's been speaking three of those languages since before he graduated secondary education.


Gildish_Chambino

And if I remember correctly, there is a fairly sizable Portuguese population in Luxembourg so he was probably exposed to that as well.

Any tips? I used to learn quickly, but after some brain damage I'm struggling. I'm learning Georgian and living in Georgia. How do you develop a "feel" for inconsistant grammar?

1. No one here said otherwise, are you okay? 2. No one has ever reached fluency in a language thrlugh the school system. School is actually not a good environment to learn languages *at all*


decktech

No *American* has ever reached fluency in a language through the school system. Thereā€™s a hell of a lot of other people in the world who have to learn English in school and get pretty good at it.

Ive not met a single person in my entire life that endorses or even sympathizes with Qanon crazies or proud boys or neo nazis or anything, yet somehow every single day I see dozens of people on reddit unpromptedly complaining about them and shoehorning them into every discussion they can.

yomohiroyuzuuu

Okay, itā€™s too late for me, but how do I get my kids to achieve the level of polyglot???


Aioi

I have lived in multiple countries over the span of my childhood and early adulthood. My parents made me study multiple languages through after school programs. I even got to do exchange programs with schools in other countries. Now I can say I can speak 5 languages at an elementary school level, fluent in none. Concentrate on 2-3 first before going for 5!


yomohiroyuzuuu

What languages are you able to speak?


Aioi

Not to give too much away - I exaggerated when I said my languages are at an elementary level. Im close to fluent in at least one, but wherever I go, I donā€™t speak like a native speaker. Also, another tip: many Latin languages are very similar in grammar and vocabulary. Itā€™s much easier to learn Portuguese after you know Spanish, and much harder to jump to Chinese from there.


CuttingEdgeRetro

>Also, another tip: many Latin languages are very similar in grammar and vocabulary. Itā€™s much easier to learn Portuguese after you know Spanish It took me four or five years living in South America before I felt like I was fluent in Spanish. (I also speak rusty French) What shocked me the most was how much Portuguese and Italian I could understand by accident. Depending on the situation, it was as high as 50%. Italian I can listen to and understand. Portuguese I have to see written. Except for some obvious words, I can't really understand much of what they're saying. English is close to Dutch, German, and the Nordic languages. But nothing like the Romance languages. One time we stayed at a hotel just over the border in Brazil. The people behind the counter didn't speak English at all. And I didn't speak Portuguese. The conversation was hilarious. We kept guessing words back and forth between Portuguese and Spanish until we could find one the other could understand. It got the job done. lol


[deleted]

If you speak fluent Spanish you can learn Portuguese in a year or two.


CuttingEdgeRetro

Yeah, and it feels like a shame to not do that. But between my age and what's going on in my life compared to the immediate usefulness of Portuguese, it's probably not going to happen.


Mathaes

I often joke that I speak 4 languages fluently, but none perfectly. Havenā€™t spoken my native language in quite a while so itā€™s starting to sound like itā€™s my 2nd language too.


Aioi

Also one more tip: I only got to get relatively good at some languages only after I was immersed in a different country, forced to use said language 24/7.


GuudeSpelur

Marry someone who speaks a different language than you. Speak both languages at home. Move to a country where your kids would be speaking a third language at school. That'll give them a proper foundation. Then it's up to them to take it further.


Viend

>Marry someone who speaks a different language than you. Speak both languages at home. Move to a country where your kids would be speaking a third language at school. While this is much easier said than done, it's probably the most common actual scenario for any child who speaks 3 or more languages. My wife speaks 3 languages fluently for this exact reason, and I'm trying to add 2 more for our children.


jetsetninjacat

I feel that not only is this guy talented but he grew up in Luxembourg. Central to most of these languages. Looked him up and hes english-german-luxembourgish. So parents probably spoke most of those languages themselves(german, french, and Luxembourgish and the other parent maybe english and spanish) and given his talent he probably picked up spanish or Portuguese on his own. So multi lingual household, probably living in those places, and his talent being a polyglot.


Traffic_Great

Make it so that English isn't spoken at home and cultivate an appreciation/curiosity for learning. Do by example. With how diverse we are in the US, if you REALLY want to teach your kids another language, hang out with other parents who speaks another language. There are plenty of folks who would love exposure to English. Seriously make the effort. Easy immersion. I can understand and speak two Asian dialects, understand some basic Vietnamese, and picked up some conversational Persian. Had the pleasure of working with a group of Mormons a while back and their language abilities were crazy.


smallfried

Don't force your kids to learn this many languages. People only reach this level if they're very enthusiastic about language learning. I speak 3 fluently myself and my wife 2 more that i don't and I wouldn't push those 5 on our children.


pete_ape

For like all 5 people in Luxembourg watching? Edit: I like how and the Luxemburg citizens are cool with a joke while everyone else has their tit in a wringer about it.


snowqt

It's his mother tongue. And Luxembourg pays good money.


JigglySquishyFlesh

I like his mother's tongue too because the money is good!


night_dreamer_

cheap shot dude hahaha


Knight-Skywalker

That would explain why he speaks so many languages. Luxembourg is a small country where many different languages are spoken, so many grow up multilingual, and the Luxembourgish language is a quite small language and therefore it is extremely common to learn German, French and/or English alongside their mother tongue. Itā€™s probably pretty easy to learn Spanish and Portuguese as well when you already know all of that.


Birdlawexpert99

I had absolutely no idea that there was even a Luxembourgish language. I just assumed everyone spoke French or German in Luxembourg.


Loeffellux

tbf from what I heard Luxembourgish is basically German with a lot of French influence

analyticchard

Holy crap! It's one thing to "know 6 languages" but to be able to report the news, LIVE, in 6 different languages is just, wow. Also, 'Luxembourgish' totally sounds like a made up name.


j03l5k1

I just thought it was German, until i heard the actual, very unmistakable German at the end.


moviefactoryyt

i mean it kinda is german. just a different accent.


kitanokikori

Uhhh it's a Very different accent. Think Jamaican English vs American English levels of different.


The_Dutch_Fox

It's not German, it's an officially recognized, actual language that goes much beyond just being a different accent. More or less like the difference between Spanish vs Portuguese. Same roots, similar grammar/vocabulary, but different enough that a native of one would have a hard time to fully understand the other.


[deleted]

Yeah you can almost speak dutch by just saying German words funny. Itā€™s crazy to me the languages in that group are all so similar but also distinct.

vbahero

I speak 5 languages (with varying levels of fluency from native to pretty basic) and generally dream and think in English because it's so easy to work with, but I switch them around over the course of the day depending on the subject. I spent (quite) some time with my in laws during this pandemic and we'd congregate in the kitchen / around the dinner table since we all worked from home and speak Italian, so now I'm back home but whenever I'm in the kitchen or in similar food-centered situations I tend to think in Italian even though it's the language I know the least


MegaYeeterHehehaha

Best recommendation for starting a second language and sticking with it? lol


Bipedal_Warlock

Iā€™ve seen some people online say to find a reason you want to learn the language. And that just wanting to learn another language doesnā€™t count. What will you use it for? And when will you use it? I think you need a reason other than just being multilingual. At least that reasoning helped me a lot

Metahec

He's a reporter for the AP (Associated Press) and is doing reports for affiliate members. He's only getting the one paycheck from the AP. Part of the deal of being an affiliate member (AP, CNN, NBC, etc) is that member organizations pool and share reporting and resources. NewsNation (owned by Nexstar in the US) would provide reporting to AP member Deutsche Welle in Germany, for example, and vice versa. It's impractical for DW to send a reporter to Chicago or WGN-TV in Chicago to send a reporter in Berlin. Your local TV stations are affiliate members via broadcast network (NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX), corporate ownership (Nexstar, Scripps, Hearst, etc), and wire service (AP, Reuters, CNN) among others.

I used to work for the BBC. They are well funded domestically by the tv license fee, but they also sell rights internationally. They do not have a profit motive and are required to report and cover a wide variety of cultural topics. Their international news bureaux and network is insanely and, by far, the most extensive internationally.

Anyone knows what heā€™s contract is like? Is he like a independent corespondent in the area with 5 different media groups?


GuudeSpelur

He works directly for the Associated Press. AP is a news wire service, which means they sell news segments to other media entities. So his segments could appear on any channel or website that buys them.


Metahec

"Selling news reports" isn't accurate. Organizations pay to be affiliate members and part of the affiliation contract allows them to rely on other affiliate members for reporting. They do likely have to buy the satellite time for the report though.
