Polyglot Video in 27 Languages: Ancient Chinese Poem (Language Learning Experiment)

This is my first polyglot video in many languages, made in 2018. Here I am reading my own translation to 27 LANGUAGES of an ancient Chinese poem called 人日思归 (“On the Day of Renri Holiday Thinking of Going Back Home”) by Xue Daoheng 薛道衡 (540-609). If you're interested in learning languages, you're very welcome to watch my videos on my language learning method here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkUG_8JqB8slLLivbEZb3LwY9fr4srwe0

This is my attempt to make a video in many languages with an artistic touch, instead of using foreign languages only to talk about learning languages or about banal everyday topics. All of the text, except for the original poem in Chinese, is written by me and read from a teleprompter. The video was first made & uploaded to YouTube in February 2018, here I fixed some sound issues & improved image quality (I rendered the video in a way to encourage YouTube to use a good codec).

Currently I am working on two sets of videos in 33 languages, one about my new language learning method, which I call DobroLang, the other one on popular biology. Please tell me about any mistakes that I make in grammar, pronunciation or choice of words, or about any other problems with any of my videos that you notice!
