Interesting how the Russian counts her English, which is fine, as "half a language" and I bet most English speakers who say "half a language" mean they know three words.

It seems to me that there are two kind of people: some tend to say they speak many languages although they have a basic knowledege and others are shy and tend to underestimate their actual knowledge

that one lady who said she learnt Elvish is an actual Elf from LotR

a part of my soul died when the lady said she speaks american and english :'')

I used to know a Finnish lady that could speak and write, Finnish (obviously), Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Hebrew. All fluently. She was amazing.

1:35 she looks like an angel

What I find most interesting is the difference in people's perceptions about "speaking", "half speaking", or "a little speaking" a language. In Europe, I noticed people would never say they speak a foreign language even though they do. Whereas Americans usually claim to speak or "speak some" Spanish or German. I met Americans who claimed to speak either of the two, but they only could say, "Hello, my name is". I would never even mention that I know a language unless I can sustain a conversation in this language. Speaking "a little XXXX", to me means I can ask for direction, and I am able to reconfirm and interact, even though it is grammatically incorrect. Speaking "some XXXX" means to me being able to communicate and express myself in mostly one particular way. Being fluent, I consider what I am in English. It's not my native language, but I can fluently speak and express myself in different ways. Knowing Gracias or Ni hao and claiming to speak "a little" Spanish or Chinese is like saying to play the piano a little but only being able to hammer Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in C-Major with one hand in the keys.

I felt bad for the guy who was interrupted at 9:00, he was making a good effort with his explanation, and the guy who interrupted him didn't even agree to answer; he just killed the moment.

that russian lady saying half of english but she could speak and understand you perfectly lmaoo she's so humble

I speak American and English. They never fail to impress.
