Video Of Reporter Flawlessly Switching Between Six Languages To Cover Ukraine Crisis Goes Viral

A journalist had social media users absolutely floored for reporting his coverage on the developing invasion of Ukraine by Russia in six different languages.

Philip Crowther, an international affiliate correspondent for The Associated Press, compiled various clips in which he reported on the Ukraine crisis to various news organizations around the world, speaking flawlessly in English, Luxembourgish, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German.


You can watch the viral clip, here.

The video that was posted on Monday racked up over 1.8 million views by the end of the day.

Online sources indicate Crowther was born in Luxembourg to a British father and German mother, who spoke to him in English and German, respectively.

He was educated in Luxembourg at the Athénée de Luxembourg, where he became fluent in French, German, English, and Luxembourgish.

At the age of 14, he decided to learn Spanish out of interest in Spanish football.

During a gap year in high school, Crowther traveled to Barcelona, where he learned Catalan; and in college, he studied Portuguese as part of his education at King's College London.

The 41-year-old polyglot was given major props, and he also gained a few admirers online.






Meanwhile, an American stereotype became the butt of a joke.





After majoring in Broadcast Journalism as a graduate student at the University of the Arts, London, Crowther worked as a reporter for France 24 from 2008 to 2011.

He has been based in Washington D.C. since June 2011.

Clips of him traveling to different regions and countries to cover major breaking news can be seen on his YouTube channel showcasing his multi-lingual reporting.

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
