Hi Benny, I was just wondering, why, in the list of languages you speak, German does not have a hyperlink like all the other languages?

The hyperlink is to sections of my site irishpolyglot.com which I was very active in before I started fluentin3months.com. At that time I didn't speak any German, and thus didn't make any videos in it.

It was a fun hobby, but making documentaries and then recording a voice-over 7 times and rendering completely different videos with different subtitles etc. was a LOT of work, so it's unlikely I'll be posting anything on irishpolyglot.com again more than once a year.

As well as this too many people said it doesn't actually demonstrate that I know these languages. I'd rather focus on live videos where you can see me speak spontaneously into the camera for the moment. When I get the chance I'll make an interview in German with a native (as I did recently in French and Spanish) and that may be where the link points to if I do!
