  1. I worked for an older Ukrainian guy roofing. Dude was slogging bundles up a roof, working in the sun all day, and the guy could speak 5 languages. crazy shit

  2. It’s a miracle that Pacioretty not only made a full recovery but he ended up having a successful career too 👏

  3. It's not like he went to school to learn these languages folks-Americans don't get it,
    Many people speak multiple languages

    You speak one latin-based language, you basically speak them all, if you have a half a brain.

    Once you know the Cyrillic alphabet, you've got a lot of languages, because the dialects spun off from another language, close by.

    There are a few languages that still exists that have no correlation to other languages in the world like Basque Country they were isolated away from the rest of the cultures so their language is unique

    And you can hear the formation of this type of language when you go to a native American reservation because they speak their dialect mixed with the European languages

    in eadtern Canada it's english-french &M'iqMaq

    Swiss, German and austrian-very similar if not the same.

    The most impressive is his learning English. Cuz that's the hardest language in the Western hemisphere

    A lot of irregular verbs and vowels next to each other.

    All the other languages just naturally come to you as you're in that culture. English is the most difficult by far.

    But I don't think he spends a lot of time with his kids. So maybe he can take some time to teach them a few languages.

  4. I’ve been learning Spanish for 12 years in school and I’m terrible at it. The fact that he could learn English and German in high school alone is insane.
