I had the opportunity to interview Hyunwoo Sun in person and ask him about how he learns languages. We did the interview in English.

You can find him on YouTube and see and hear him speaking other languages like Japanese, French or his native Korean. http://www.youtube.com/ever4one

And the short video we made right after this one shows me talking about my blog, can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_Gh0bj8ql8

You can find Hyunwoo’s websites and what each is about by visiting his homepage at http://hyunwoosun.com/

“Language Secrets From a Linguistic Junkie”

This is the first of my personal video posts. This episode is divided into 2 Parts / 2 separate clips.

I’ve tried to answer some of the many questions that have been sent to me in emails and messages since I posted my first clip on Youtube in 2007. I thought to make it interesting, I’ve tried to choose several different languages to respond to (subtitled in English).

Questions include:
What separates languages – politic or linguistic differences?
What’s the history behind some of your languages?
What’s the most difficult language?
What are some secrets to learning new languages?
How do I get motivated to learn languages?

I’ve chosen languages that I’m at different competency levels in – and as you can see, it shows! Some of them I hadn’t used for a long time – just putting this clip together was great to get the linguistic juices flowing again in some of my dormant languages.

I also used as a personal challenge for the first time in public Vietnamese. I put this post public to set a bar for myself – so hopefully in a few months time, my Vietnamese will be much more fluent than what you see in this clip. I’ll keep you updated on my progress!

Languages that I speak in or about in this episode include:

English
Bahasa Indonesia
Javanese
Bahasa Melayu
Japanese
Chinese – Mandarin
Danish
