This is a true polyglot
His Portuguese is quite ok. But your are able to realize it's not native. I would say his accent to be like 80%-85% which is still great.
Macedonian is very good, Serbian not so much. But he learned Serbian from TV so it's great. He has an extraordinary ear for languages, if I may say so.
his Czech is good, but his native accent comes through very strong so it just sounds a little weird; still he's good pronounciation.
Quite impressive. His Romanian grammar is seriously flawed. His Romanian pronunciation carries the results of 50 years of russification efforts made by Soviets to wipe out the Romanian culture in Moldavian Republic - but is really impressive.
I hope is happy with his ready mail Macedonian wife - he doesn't look the type that got laid very often.
Respect.

Nothing special. You can tell he only speaks 3 or 4 of them really well and has only intermediate to basic knowledge in the others. Still a great achievement, without a doubt, but he's no different to the rest of the horde who claims to speak 7+ languages but in reality only speaks half that number properly.
There's no doubt he has an ear for languages but it isn't possible to assess his level just by listening a bunch of sentences about general stuff like "I studied at..." or "I worked at..."
He shows us that travelling to the countries where the languages are spoken is a big help, too. However, he took that to the next level which is actually STUDYING the languages!!
Very inspiring video!!
p.s Can anyone tell if he's separating the slavic languages he speaks? Speaking west and south slavic is an interesting thing.

I'm from Poland and unfortunately he didn't speak any Polsih (probably because he never spent two or three months with a Polish family where he could learn Polish from books or subtitles LOL)
I noticed, however, he didn't feel comfortable when speaking Russian or Czech. I can second what has been said about his French. I don't speak scandinavian languages or Dutch, but his pronunciation looked quite convincing.
Anyway, I think he didn't go far beyond basic knowledge in case of most languages he presented. Great achievement, anyway.

He is definitely separating the Slavic languages.
But he doesn't really speak them, with a probable exception of Macedonian (his wife is Macedonian, he says), he has just picked up some basics on his way.
Anyway, great ear.
