- Hey, Language Tsar. Welcome to Polyglot Gathering 2017 in Bratislava.
- So, hey, I'm just heading
down to the Polyglot Gathering 2017.
Really excited to go there, hang out with some old friends, make some new friends.
Learning languages is one of my big passions. What's really the motivation for me to
go to these kind of events is meeting people with a similar interest ...
a set of common interests in life. The kind of people that I meet at the Polyglot
conferences or Polyglot gathering like this one in Bratislava in Slovakia are
people with the same passion and mindset that I have and it's not just about
learning languages. Of course I get to practice lots of them there at the
conference. It's also meeting people that are also really very passionate about traveling and speaking
those local languages when they travel.
[German] - Why? Why not?
- First time at the Polyglot Gathering or not?
- The 3rd time! - The 3rd time, wow!
- Are those 3 fingers? Yeah!
[Portuguese] - Well, it's the first time that I take part in the conference
and I've always following YouTube channel from people like you
and others as well
I've always been curious so I decided to come.
[German] - We want only the truth!
[English] - Are you recording this, Conor?
[English] - Gareth Popkins - Hello! Cheers!
This is my free espresso. - You get a free one. - We get it for free so put that camera down. - Okay.
- The Martians are coming to Earth and they are using like a big huge tripods, you know, like
the one you have ... - Oh, nice. So you think my camera, my GorillaPod, is like something out of a sci-fi
film? - Exactly!
- Luca, you're loving ... you're loving my camera. What have you dubbed my camera? - Oh boy!
- The 'rat'! - I like the 'rat'.
It's like the fox on Trump's
- Trump's what? - He's got the fox!
[Romanian] - This is called 'ie'. One 'ie' and in plural it's 'ia'.
- Where is it from? - It's from Romania, typical of Romania.
[Russian] - I don't know. Now I don't know, I've forgotten!
[English] Masculine and feminine languages ... the voice and everything ...
- Ok, give us the example of a masculine language.
- Finnish! [Finnish] I love you!
[English] This is a harder, harder ...
[Swedish] Hi, what's your name? My name is Lars.
This is Swedish language.
[German] - We were in a dream club, a club in a mountain.
- And the music? - It was fantastic ... we had a lot fun.
[English] - This is my own theory.
- Where would you put French? - French is feminine.
- Feminine? How feminine?
[French] - I don't know. It's a very melodic language.
- Do I make jokes about ... - This is Sébastien. He is so serious!
- The Language Tsar is never the butt of the slightest joke!
- The slightest joke? That means that I am always the butt of jokes!!
[Slovak] - Come over here to me! - Come over here!
[English] Pretty girls. - Pretty girls are all from Slovakia ...
- Because we drink so much. No, and it's fun.
[Spanish] - Are you going to drink? - A little ... - Ahhhh ...
[Slovak] - I have a tattoo in Spanish ...
[English] - We are ready. - Jan is exciting as always.
- What's up, Conor?
Say "hi everybody". - Do I look hungry?Because I'm hungry.
- You're hungry for what? For more language learning
- Well, let's say that.
[German] - A good opportunity to come to Bratislava ...
to meet old friends again ...
[Portuguese] - Dude, I've loved languages for a long time, principally because I can travel
and I love to get to know new cultures and new people in each place that I go to.
So when you people see that you are trying to speak their language
it's a totally different experience
in getting to know the places in a city - a completely different experience!
And I'm here to exchange ideas with people here and with my other friends
that I know from other conferences and online as well.
[Dutch] - What I find great at this conference is that there are really people with, yeah, the same hobby,
with same passion and many of the people here I know already from YouTube or from famous blogs.
[Italian] - How's it going? - All is good!
- Why have you come here to the Gathering? - Because there are many interesting people
like, Conor, for example, that I can meet.
- I'm here to see the latest trends in language learning
and I have a few friends here who speak many languages.
[German] - Why a language conference? You speak so many languages already!
- Yeah. I love to see these people again and maybe meet someone who speaks even more languages
who perhaps have more tips and we can bond and that is why I come.
[English] - Basically, Idahosa is going to help me to improve my pronunciation
in German, Portuguese, Spanish and French I think, yeah? -Yeah
- Sure, so at the Mimic Method we focus on learning languages by ear and the
first step in our program is to look at the elemental sounds of that language. So
for example is thirty-nine elemental sounds in Spanish, fifty-six elemental
sounds in German, fifty-five in Portuguese and 38 in French. So if
there's something wrong with your pronunciation in any of these languages
what we're really saying probably is that you're mispronouncing one of these
sounds. So what we're going to do is send our recording to our team, we'll take a
look at it, analyze it and get back to you pieces from our elemental sounds
master class for you to work on, pay attention to and once you figure out
what you're missing, what sounds you're mispronouncing in your language, it's
just a question of having somebody explain it to you. Like, oh this is how
you actually make the sound
- It's tasty! Very good.
- It's tasty because of the fat
And this is ... sardines - Let's try this one.
[French] What do you think? It's good?
- Yep! - It's good or not? - It's good! - Ok, great! What is it? It's the sardines?
- It's a type of 'tartine'. I don't know how to call it in French. We call this a 'spread'. It's a local speciality.
- Yeah, and this is, for example, small beans.
- Usually dry wines.
- We have dry and semi-sweet ones so the dry ...
- So, I am about to leave Bratislava. I am going to take a train now to Vienna,
and then take a flight onwards to Berlin where I'm going to be shooting an episode of another YouTube
channel, called Easy German.
I'm in Berlin, made it safely ... gonna shot Easy German in the morning.
