    these ads appear often online, the men always have beards and look a bit scruffy, they have learned multiple languages and made money from it.


    whats the deal with the narrow market target of scruffy bearded men in their 30's?

    They keep a pocket dictionary in the beard, lets them translate on the fly

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    3 - 7 languages. He'd be better off learning to count.

    What's so special about his beard?

    I know the man you mean, it's fairly impressive to be fair that he can speak seven languages, and, having seen the video, he seems fairly confident in all of them. I myself can handle conversations in English, Irish, Spanish and Portuguese but with Irish and Portuguese, it does take me a while to get the fluidity back. The fact that that guy can speak so fluidly and naturally in those languages is a real marker for how good he is.

    And if he's making money from it, even better for him.

    I hear possessing a small penis is often a problem among females.
    I suggest trying to click those ads.

    The power to learn the languages comes from the beard. It's an ad for beards.

    The beard is only there because there is no time to shower or shave between learning all these languages.

    Yeah, I've seen that one a lot lately, even with adblockers. It makes a change from some English guy/people telling me how they got very wealthy in a short space of time and they want me to be rich too....

    What has having a beard got to do with it?

    It's l coming in through click bait referral links, instead of actual adds. You'll see them sometimes under a heading set as "news from other websites..."

    The beard suggests that he doesn't give a damn about his personal hygiene and is drifting through life.

    If that layabout can learn a few languages by following the 6 simple steps, so can you.
