Bruno is such an interesting person. And his English is a lot better than many who consider themselves to be fluent.

When I was in Portugal for a short visit I had the impression they speak English quite well. I heard it is because they don't have dubbed films, they only have subtitles so English speaking movies are shown in the original language in TV and movie theatres. I don't know if it is true. But they speak English much better than in Spain, for example.

The French guy nailed the Portuguese spirit We are very critical and thought on ourselves

Falo 5 linguas estrangeiras. Ingles, frances, italiano, espanhol e estou a estudar o portugues! A mais bonita! Beijinhos da Polonia!

Portuguese people were so nice when i visited lisbon and porto! Very soft-spoken and humble.

The french guy, Bruno, what a character!!! He really know the portuguese well! Indeed, for sure football and corruption in politics are the main topics between portuguese people 😂 By the way, I am portuguese, from Lisbon, and I speak Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. Fluent in all four languages.

the french guy really nailed the two main topics of conversation the portuguese have, football and corruption is all we know baby

Bruno looks like he has many stories to tell and his English is excellent :)

Mon ami! Dan, I'm a Montrealer--born and raised in MTL by Portuguese parents--who just moved to Lisbon with the family. If you're still around, lemme know! We'll show you around. The family and I have been watching your videos since you started documenting your move to MTL. Salut!

I'm an American who can speak Portuguese, although not fluently, and I arrived home 3 days ago after 2 weeks in Portugal. One thing I enjoyed is that I insisted on speaking Portuguese to the Indian shop keepers and the restaurant nags on Rua Augusta. Yes, they figured out I was American and kept addressing me in English, and I would keep answering in Portuguese. One of them actually got angry, and finally I told him that my Portuguese speaking won't improve if I'm in Portugal speaking English all the time.

Im amazed you actually found Portuguese people in Lisbon

3:47 this older gentleman here is right on the money. I visited Lisbon for the first time exactly one month ago and this was my exact experience. The people of Lisbon are super chill and the city itself is super safe. One of the residents even bragged about how a woman could be out by herself at 3 in the morning and no one would touch her. It was a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to open myself up to a whole new world across the Atlantic and I already look forward to me returning to Lisbon, Portugal. Also, I noticed the multiple language thing on my first or second day in Lisbon too. It is a very English-friendly city, and of course they speak Portuguese. But I did run into waiters that also spoke French

Bruno is absolutely right the portuguese themselves are very critic with their own country. We love our country but before someone criticise Portugal the portuguese people also tells always advance the bad side of Portugal. Portuguese are very honest

I liked a lot this episode 😍 the best part for me is when you connect with the people and ask a bit about their story and how they learnt the languages or if they like the city.

My English is not enough to express how much I like this channel. God bless you! From Brazil.

As a portuguese living in Lisbon, I'm a bit sad that you couldn't find more Portuguese people to talk with...

thank you for questions like "how is like to live here?" Interested in relocation so it helps a lot to feel the vibe of a country. Also want my children to speak a lot of languages so very interested in your channel and countries you travel to.

i'm from Brazil and I really like this video because show me the real side about learn new languages. I'm using this video to improve my listening and is very important for me. Thank you soo much!

Hey man I'm also from Montreal but been living in Lisboa for a year now. I love your video format! Keep those videos coming 😁!

Ι'm from Greece, I love Portugal and portuguese people, I speak a B2 level portuguese but last summer that I visited the country for second time I was annoyed that some portuguese people that I spoke to switched to english when I was trying to talk to them in their language. I speak also B2 spanish, never had a problem in Spain maybe because few spaniards speak english or because I find easier for me to speak in spanish because their fonology is similar to modern greek. I live in Corfu, a greek island full of tourism and when I meet a foreign person trying to talk to me in greek I always respond to him/her in slow greek and not in english to help him practice the language.

The old french man has my heart

I've visited Lisbon regularly over the last 20 years and it's changed a lot. In the summer there are definitely way too many tourists, and that is a bit annoying. The city, although still uniquely beautiful, hast lost part of its soul. There are some beautiful small cities near Lisbon though, which feel more authentic.

Dear Dan, great and super interesting video nicely produced as always!!!!

So nice to see one of your videos in my hometown ❤️

I've been to Portugal three times and enjoy the country quite a lot. As I'm living in Spain, it's not further away than many places within the same country. I quite enjoy the fact that most people speak English and a lot Spanish, too. I wouldn't mind if we spoke French or German either. When I hear Portuguese, I can guess quite a lot. A conversation between Spanish and Portuguese works somehow but bits and pieces get lost.

I adore your videos, honestly! Thanks>3

Amazing channel! Loved it.

I like your videos they're calm,entertaining and friendly!

I live in Montréal and I loved visiting Lisboa very beautiful and safe city❤

Thanks for sharing with us this great Video

Very nice video! Congratulation! Hugs from Brazil!👏🇧🇷

Probably, this video is the most beautiful ❤)) - I loved not only people and their answers, but also the city-views .. - very lovely city-environment - 🤗🙏🏻 - 👍🏻

Portuguese people are very beautiful, elegant,polite and friendly❤💜🧡 Love Portugal from China🇨🇳💚❤️🇵🇹

Welcome to Lisboa and Portugal! Hope you have the best time here

Adoro Lisboa, o comida la ta muito boa. Gosto muito la, espero viajar a os Açores algum-dia 🙏🏻

As a Portuguese, Bruno is absolutely right, we mostly only talk about football and the government, and we are the biggest critics of Portugal 😂 but let me tell you, although we criticize our country a lot we will not tolerate and will get very defensive if we hear foreigners talking bad about us and our country 😅 we are very proud people! 🇵🇹

I like this kind of videos I'm from Mexico and I can speak Spanish and English and I am studying french but I can barely understand the basic words, greetings from Mexico

Parabens pelo video, gostei muito. Tens que visitar mais vezes Portugal é muito lindo.👍🏽

4:50 le maitre il a tout dit. and i'm portuguese, from Lisboa. nice videos and nice manner to start a conversation with someone :) nice work!

Amazing video

Super interesting! I especially enjoyed the gentleman from Gascony. When he was talking about Alfacinhas who are very kind but are very critical of themselves, I thought he might have been talking about us Japanese. I didn’t expect a similarity there!

my mom's from Lisbon, such a cool place! I hope to visit again someday

The people in Lisbon are so chill. Loved the city, hope to visit again.

This new year I'm going to learn the basic in Japanese and Korean 😊 Saludos Dan

9:50 I like how she naturally switched to Mandarin for the translation, saying 大家好 (da jia hao), before correcting herself and speaking English 😂👍🏾

Awesome videos! I love them. You have to come to Istanbul, Turkey for making videos like that.

That Bruno fellow is a character. He is welcome anytime in the north of the country. Come to Porto, and you will see that people are even nicer (in general and according to my opinion, as a native). OP, thank you for your effort to show this little yet great piece of Southwestern Europe to a wider public.

I really like this kind of videos. I believe that some people are embarrassed to say that only speak one language. You can tell that are not fluent or limited English proficiency. Me gustan este tipo de vídeos. Creo que algunas personas tienen vergüenza de decir que solo hablan un idioma. Se puede saber cuando alguien habla poco inglés o es limitado.

I'm in love with your vidéos ❤

Thanks a lot. 謝謝你的付出，太酷了愛了🌸🌸🌸。Gracias mil para esta video.

Love these videos. The Nepali guy has an air of calmness aroound him.

very interesting Dan!

Made it to the end. 🐢😅 Great videos! 👌

I'm completely in love with your videos, I think I can practice the oral comprehension, btw I want to improve French, my native language is Spanish ❤

O meu país favorito na Europa. Espero poder visitá-lo em breve.

🐢ok these videos are great and I think this one was the most interesting for me, watching this guy Bruno talking about the people and the other guys saying that there are not many flats available, I mean these are the kind of things that really demonstrate the actual situation. And watching people from all over the world, the culture and the city right now, it's all so interesting. Other than that, the more weal your mother tongue is, the more languages you speak. So come to Athens, we seak many languages here and you are most welcomed to visit!

I loved this video, Im from Portugal to, I know Portuguese, English and Spanish I understand a little of France and Italian Linguage

Great video!

🐢 loved the boy at the end joking with u to go away

Young people in the end were so adorable, also 'go away' haha :)

That man who was from Gascony was super interesting to listen to. I would have loved to hear him speak Portuguese as well.

Great video!! knowing Portuguese Italian and Spanish at the same time is realy hard because they are very similar and you can mixe when you are speaking

Bruno is one hell of a man. I completely agree with him about the portuguese spirit and way of being. He's spot on. From a an astrenged portuguese that does not like football and love his country history...

Me gustan sus videos! Très intéressant. I watched until the end. Дякую!

Bruno is spot on, as a Portuguese myself I share the same view wiuld love to hear more from him or have a nice coffee with him

I enjoyed this video, I speak 4 Languages some of them I do have more confidence in speaking, but here are my languages I do speak. Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and now I'm learning Italian. I need to practice more so I don't forget the vocabulary.

As a Portuguese myself, this video was really moving and heart-touching!🇵🇹🇵🇹❤❤

This dude has great heart. He give shout outs for Free, ❤

i love ur videos!

It was so interesting. Muito obrigado.

I'm Portuguese. When my oldest turned nine , I made him played PS or Wi only in English. Subliminar learning as I call it. It worked. And I recommend all parents do do that. Get them familiar with other languages in a way they enjoy it. Also introduce new languages after a year

See, Portugal I believe them when they say they speak 2 or 3 languages because often times they do. In fact, I think most Portuguese people passively understand Spanish as well since it’s very similar to their own language but don’t count it as a language they know since most can’t speak it properly and speak Portuñol instead. The guy from Northern Portugal I automatically knew he spoke Spanish since he is from basically next door to Spain.

I hope that one day you can do the same video but in the north! I recommend you to visit both Porto and Braga! 😊

Adorei o francês, mt preciso na sua visão acerca dos tugas. Só futebol mesmo...

Impressionante! Em Portugal, mantiveram o arco do triunfo, agora na 4ª maior cidade do mundo, tiraram-na. Eu curto muito linguas estrangeiras, graças ao ensino, também a um cantor poliglota, posso dizer hoje que falo 7 idiomas com diferentes níveis de fluência: Português, Espanhol, Inglês, Italiano, Alemão, Francês, Coreano, Japonês e atualmente estou aprendendo Polonês que é muito interessante e mais fácil de aprender que o Russo. Agora mandarim é muito difícil kkkk Valeu pelo vídeo!

❤Oh,what nice and intelligent people!What a kindly interviewer!What an awesome city!My dream!💜🧡💛💚💙Thanks for inspiration to learn languages!💝

03:58 - 🤗❤️🤗❤️❤️! Very interesting part of interview!❤️🙏🏻

Looks like the conversation topics in Portugal are similar to the ones in Brazil. haha

His English was better than admitted. Its all about practice. 65 years old and looking good!

🐢 Haha. I do just like what you require. I finish till the end. Thanks for making interesting video. I kind of hook up with this video because I also love speaking foreign languages.

I can't catch a feeling which city interview i love best)) - 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️🤔 They all are really veryvery cool! ❤👍🏻 (i love the idea 👍🏻 - ive already wrote it in some previous comment)) -still want to say - I love the idea!, think it is great! - and Thank You for joy!❤

Great experiences shared thru your videos, really enjoy your travels, btw, (lol) I speak 3 languages: Spanish, English, and Armenian, and understand a little Portuguese, which would love to learn and travel to Portugal and Spain...soon... in the future

I'm from portugal and speak 4 languages portuguese, french, english and spanish

Such a interest video!!! Keep going!

When I went to Portugal, it felt like everyone could speak or understand French, even in small villages :)

Im 16 and from Portugal. Most of my classmates and friends speak 3 langages, and some of them even speak 4. I got a little surprised when the first 3 girls didnt spoke more than 2, since in Portugal we learn Portuguese, English and Spanish or French

love your vid, thank a lot for it! i speak Mandarin, English and a bit Hebrew I lived in Israel for a bit of time, i can speak Hebrew pretty fine from the second year living in Israel, then i came back to Taiwan, after a few years back in Taiwan, it started getting more difficult to recall the vocabularies that i've learn there, so i started relearning Hebrew by myself recently, don't no if anyone else struggling with the same problem as i am experiencing now~ turtle emoji ~

Thank you for this video reminding me my trip to Portugal. If you ask me how many languages I speak, I will be confused saying I don't know exactly. I believe I speak Russian, English, Esperanto, studying French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and others...

portuguese spanish italian, if you are fluent in one of these 3 it will be a lot easier to learn the other two

I'm living in Lisbon but, I was born in Argentina. I speak Spanish, Portuguese, and English. I need to be better at my English. Furthermore, the next year I wanna learn Italian Lisbon is a nice place to live. People here is amazing!!!!

I would have never though that a Gasconian man would appear in this video ! A famous theater masterpiece is made by a Gasconian in France and very well known; thank you to have added him.

thanks for information

A piece of advice from a teacher- if you want to learn proper Spanish pronunciation, listen to songs, watch movies, telenovelas (Spanish language soaps), and if you have a chance, speak to native speakers.

I'd find it difficult to answer this question with any clean number. "Speaking a language" can be interpreted in so many different ways.

i like yours videos . greetings from guatemala

For people who want to learn languages, my best advice (although I'm not a polyglot myself, so take this with a grain of salt), is input. I am also from Montreal, native French speaker, and my mom couldn't speak a word of English. My dad had an okay English. Learning a language from scratch is overwhelming. What made me learn English is through music first. I had some tapes and CD which had the lyrics in the little booklet. This was before we had internet at home XD. I would ask my dad to translate the lyrics of my favourite songs. From there I started playing video games, most of which were only in English back then, so that was my "level 2" input, where I would read the text on screen, and try not to bother my dad too often to ask what they meant. By the time I started saying a single word out loud, I would already understand a LOT of English. From there, it was just a matter of putting it together to form my own sentences. By that time we had internet hahah so I started chatting in chatrooms with people from everywhere in the world in English. By the time I got to the last year of high school, I was better at English than my French-native English teacher. With technology today we have things like duolingo and all the other apps. but as good as they are, I find them a bit dauting because they kinda force-feed you stuff, because you are being tested on your learning as they give you input, which is all well and good, but I feel like it is missing some types of mode where you can just get input after input, without being tested, where you learn semi-passively, just by receiving more and more input. I wonder if that types of apps exist...To be honest, writing this message, I have just realised what is missing in these apps...

That older dude is flexing so hard. Speaks better English than a lot of native speakers, and knows the grammar rules too. And he's humblebragging about it lol. Big it up Bruno!

I know 5 languages Bangla(Mother tongue) English Hindi Urdu Arabic #Moving to Portugal next year.. hopefully i can learn Portuguese too!

I love the streets in Portugal. Beautiful to look at but its black and white so it looks cohesive with everything
