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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
