Me @ YouTube “polyglots”
#guys it’s not real#they’re scripting a thing and then using it to shill Ai language’lessons’#they’re paying locals a criminally low amount of money to go along with and profit off of using them as props#In click baity titles where they ‘learn’ a language#they memorized a script and *maaaaaaybe* studied a few grammar things#if you talked to them in one of these languages spontaneously they’d look at you like a confused goldfish#you can’t learn a language in 30 days in any meaningful way beyond basic conversations at BEST#and even then it won’t go perfectly like it does in the videos#specifically a call out to Xiaomanyc#a coworker would not believe me when I told him it was certainly all fake#es una estafa#xiaomanyc#call out post#YouTube ‘polyglots’ aren’t real guys#and the actual polyglots don’t have clickbait titles and millions of subscribers#because the reality is that it’s hard work#I don’t claim to speak every language I know a few phrases in lmao#if I did I could call myself a polyglot but that’s not how it works#I only claim the languages I can actually speak and use and meaningfully create at least some original utterances in#and even then I say I speak a ‘little’ or ‘I’m proficient’ unless I’m actually truly ‘fluent’
