Video activity. Man who speaks 11 languages.

I really couldn't believe what this guy was doing, it's really amazing that a person gets to talk eleven languages and, in my opinion, very good.

 Questions:

1. How many languages does Alex speak?

2. Does context help in the process of acquiring a new language?

3. Are there any languages that have similiar pronunciation?

4. Which of the languages spoken by Alex seem more colloquial?

5. Is class a more important factor in language variation than geography?

4. Do you think, the ability of learning a language is innate or learned?

5. According to you, are some languages more or less difficult  to learn than others? Talk about your own experience.

1.- 11, and he says he wants to speak more.
2.- Yes, it's easier to learn a language if you are sorrounded by it than in a class.
3.- Yes, Alex says Greek's pronunciations is very similar to Spanish's pronunciations, and Dutch with Afrikaans.
4.- I believe his spanish accent sounds like a typical turist trying to get directions, so that one.
5.- Well, I think both are important, if you learn a language it changes in small details in between classes, as we saw, there is slang and jargon, and according to the class you'll know a different type of language, and geography is also important, as I've allready said, it's easier to learn a language if you are connected to it.
