I traveled to New York to meet Tim Doner. Tim is probably the youngest person in the world who has the ability to speak over 20 languages. He might not be fluent in all of them but he speaks very comfortably in French, Arabic, German, Farsi, Hebrew, Chinese and a few more. In this video we talk about how he learns languages and also short conversations in Dutch/French, German and Mandarin Chinese. Enjoy!

We constantly work on our self-development when we travel. We meet many different people, learn about other cultures; we observe and learn how the world works. By meeting people and learning how the world works, we can also create new business opportunities.

In December 2014 I stay for one month in Brazil. In my free time I will learn Portuguese by chatting and speaking it with natives online and in a later stage when I feel more confident I will practice it in person as well. Before I came to Brazil I had never spoken Portuguese although I had a basic level in Spanish which helped me to learn Portuguese. My goals is to reach at least an A2 level before I take my flight back to Holland.

This is a recording of a chat I had with another teacher from Italki. I think that I’ve reached a level on which I don’t really need to ”study” anymore. At this stage I find it more fun and useful to speak in the target language and ask the teacher when something is unclear. Making notes is also important nevertheless you can’t see me making any notes in the video.
