I am a polyglot who speaks 8 languages (at different levels) and in this video I challenged myself to speak them all in only one take, so without any cuts.
As you will see, I am not perfect and we should not aim to be. Languages are for communication and we should have fun learning and practicing them instead on focussing on perfection, which is anyway unattainable (for 99% of people at least, anyway!)
Language learning is a great hobby, but in order not to get frustrated we need to be aware that languages are not something static, sometimes we forget things or improve a lot in a language, but start mixing up in another one. It even depends on the day or how long you haven't been speaking a certain language. I think we should normalise this.
So I would encourage you to try this challenge out, even if you do it just for yourself. It simply is a lot of fun :)
