If you haven't seen it already, I made the same video idea in Montréal! 👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fatmjNx5v6fUpWg.html Which city did it better? You decide! 😎

Speaking another language is a gift. Don't ever let someone talk down on you, just because you can speak a different language. We all should learn more than just our own language, there is a whole world out there to explore.

I like that the last person asked "how fluently"? That makes a huge difference in how many languages a person "really" speaks. Also, a person can read more languages than he speaks, since when one reads, one does not have to form the language's phonology, just understand it. Good video.

the last lady, it's so comforting to look at her 💚

Sadly in "Toronto" Is Native Mohawk (Tkaronto) For : "Where there are trees standing in the water" And yet you will not find many Native people in Toronto And even fewer that still speak the tribe's languages. Gives you a grasp of people that speak other foreign languages from either being from another country Or having parents of a country that speak it at home. I speak English, Français, Nehiyawok. - Cree. I am Metis which also has its own blended language that also forms a dialect with Acadian French

The lady at the final of the video was really impresive. She's just enjoying learning.

So cool to see people speaking so many languages.

In Belgium we have 3 national languages (dutch, french and german) so everyone learns at least 4 in school (including english). So most people here know at least 2-3 pretty well. People with an immigration background will often add one to that (arabic, greek, italian, turkish etc.) Always wonderful to be in a place where such a diversity is possible.

The old lady at the end of the video is very cool. So humble and down to earth when she mentions she's reading The Hobbit in Latin.

I love how diverse Canada is 😌

the woman who spoke latin at the end seemed really interesting I wanted you to ask more question hahaha, good video

So oddly satisfying to watch this video . I for sure have forgotten how good it feels to talk to a stranger and learn something about their life . Thank you for sharing this

8:06 - What a lovely lady! I dont know do you do this intentionally, but you edit these videos in a way that they touch a person who watches it. You always put some landscape scene in between and you always put right persons in right places in a vids. There is no heavy editing here, like adding background music, effects, some special faetures...we just see people, hear them speaking, background sounds coming from cars, nature, etc, and yet all your videos feels like they have a soul. I really enjoy watching it cuz of that. Keep up the good work. Cheers :)

I also live in Toronto, and I think it's interesting that you didn't find any person who speaks Portuguese and English considering that there are many Brazilians here.

Personally I speak 3 languages (Uzbek, English, Korean) fluently and two others (Russian and Turkish) at an elementary level. Speaking another language is a huge gift and I benefited from it a lot.

Hey! I felt like I was there in person, really enjoyed the interview! Cheers

This video made me feel happy. I love how simple it is and how nice ppl in the vid are. No toxic stuff on here

I love that you do this kind of on-the-street investigative reporting. It really gives the feel for a place.

The hardest language in my own experience, is any second language anyone is learning. Once you master a 2nd language, you are ready for the next, once you master 3 languages, ready for the next, and so on. I speak, write and read 4 languages. German, Brazilian Portuguese, English, Spanish. But I can also understand a lot of written words in Italian and French, because many words are related to languages I already know very well. Besides that just a few words I have picked up from a couple of other languages. Folks it takes the desire and paying attention to learn. Really not that hard to do. Memorizing all nouns, and then the verbs using any bilingual dictionary is one way to go. Said dictionary already tells how to pronounce each word. Then just practice hearing the language and find opportunities to use and practice conversing in the language of your choice. Languages certainly open doors to opportunities in the job market and in life. You can also make many more friends, when you speak their language.

What a cool concept! These are really nice docu shorts! 👏🎬

LOVE this video. Happy to come across your channel. I'll definitely check out more. 💚🤛

Being able to speak more than one language is something incredibly amazing because you have the ability to understand and communicate with more types of people, Which can broaden your horizon🎉

The woman at 4:47 seems like such a joyful, kind person! These videos are nice- it's cool to see a look into strangers' lives. Very human and reflective.

These videos put a huge smile on my face!

It's nice to see the older woman at the end of the video use her mind to still learn and not be giving up on life hope to be the same at her age.

I never realized how speaking 5 languages is considered a lot. Living in a country where you're surrounded by tons of different cultures and ethnicities, you're basically forced to speak many languages (and when I say forced, i don't mean it in a bad way). Anyways, I can speak English, Dutch, Javanese, Spanish and Sranang Tongo (the native language) I'm from Suriname 🇸🇷

It was a new experience seeing Toronto through the lense of your camera. Thanks! keep em' coming.

I am glad this video came to my attention randomly ❣️ it is such a fun to talk and know so many people.

it was really inspiring! being able to speak more than 1 language absolutely makes people's life richer!

As someone born and raised in Toronto, it's so easy to forget the little details like 'how many languages do you speak' and all of these answers seemed so normal to me... but after reading through comments realized how uncommon and unique this is. Love my city ❤

Toronto seems like such a welcoming place for immigrants and people of different cultures and they all appear to get along so well. This could really be a global example of an ideal city.

I'm not from Canada, but everyone shares their experience, so I'll do it too :)) I speak only two languages ​​- Russian (native) and English. But I also speak some French (from school), Spanish and Latin (from university). I'm currently learning Japanese at a Japanese language school so I can speak it too but I'm far from being fluent lol I really like to learn foreign languages. I noticed that when switch between them, the personality slightly changes haha ​​at least it happens to me all the time. When I speak my native language I’m harsh and quite serious, when I speak English I’m more talkative and friendly, when I speak Japanese I get a little shy and very polite haha

3:44 this guy is adorable. I can't help but smile looking at him.

Could you ask them if they learned them as children or adults? And “What advice do they have to learning a new language?”

Thumb up for the elderly lady in 8:30! Fantastic video!

loved the vibe this video had, you got urself a sub :)

The final lady was so modest and yet so talented

I’ve been learning English,and I’m upset because I find myself making no progress recently 😢 I totally agree that the hardest language is your second language.I’m so afraid of making mistakes and worried about my accent, so the anxiety always holds me back to speak English 😭

That old lady in the ending was so sweet!

I am learning my second language right now and although it’s really hard and frustrating at time, this video kinda gives me hope, even though I feel like a lot of people in the video learned languages from birth, I know it’s not impossible for me to achieve my dreams. I’m working on my third language but at a much slower pace, and man I envy those that learned multiple languages from birth, you think about language so much differently. Learning languages from scratch it damn hard, but I believe in myself

It's so cool that so many people speak more than one language. It kinda shows that they are open.

I just discovered your channel and I enjoyed it. Thanks for what you do. They are quite a lot of good people around . Thanks 😊

PART TWO NEEDED!!!

Very interesting and I like the vibes of this video. You are a good interviewer. 👍👍👍

1:47 wild CJ the X spotted

Learning new languages other than mother tongue allows you to see the different world which you would haven’t been able to see before learning new one. Right now, I am in Canada from Japan for improving my English skills and enriching my life, which have been great decision that I made in my life.

the last lady is how you spot language learners. they always ask "how well/ fluently?". The others with straightforward answers are more likely to be heritage speakers and not much language learners

I’m not surprised. A have friends who came from different countries to Toronto. In my case my first language is Russian and I can speak pretty well in English and Finnish. However with time I’m starting to forget rest of the languages. In the past I could be able to speak, write and read in German, Kazakh, Swedish, but I didn’t practice them that much. Now I learning Spanish, because I fell in love with this language. My advice is to practice the language(s) that you learned or know, because it’s so cool and can open so much opportunities to you. From brain exercises to looking for different relationships/friendships that you might have in the future

The lady in the end gave me some sort of peace. I live in Toronto, Speak Spanish (Argentina), English, little bit French and learning 日本語 (Japanese). みなさん こんにちわ!

0:24 You can tell that guy has a very good vibe. He looks chill, happy and very approachable.

so simple concept, just asking people around, yet so addictive video

I speak Azerbaijani, Russian, Englisch, Polish, Turkish and learning Germany and Korean. My daughter (14) has 4 languages in scholl-azerbaijani, russian, english and french.

I speak fluent Russian, English, Spanish. Médium level Belarussian, Italian, French. Basic level of Ukrainian, Polish, Portuguese. It includes reading, writing and verbal understanding ( audio). “How many languages do you know - that many times you are a man” (Anton Chekhov)

Awesome video, I am also from Toronto which encourages me to speak more languages! I speak English, French, Arabic, Japanese, and some Spanish/Portuguese. Cheers !

4:54 i love that she ask it back to you

Awesome! I love how Toronto becomes home for so many people from all around the globe. I hope I'll get to see it in person some day

Based Latin Hobbit Lady.

I speak Spanish and English fluently... and I had doubts about learning Italian and German because I thought it would be too difficult to learn two whole different ways of speaking. This video proved me wrong and it really motivated me!

Loved that lady at the end and her asking “how fluently”?

persian arabic english french and now learning russian and i got more motivated by your vod tnx m8

4:03 I'm a Vietnamese and confirm that your accent really slayed ;) happy to hear someone speak Vietnamese

There are so many people of various nationalities in Toronto!! I really want to visit there!

Very cool video!

Wow I'd love to visit Toronto one day. I speak 2 languages fluently (Japanese(native)&English(C2)). I also speak very basic Mandarin and Bahasa Indonesia. I enjoy learning different cultures through language learning!

Lovely video... I'm from Costa Rica. I speak Spanish, English and some Italian, French, Portuguese and Mandarin. Pura Vida!

It's fascinating to see how people of different nationalities are able to communicate with each other in multiple languages

One of the many reasons I love Toronto. So many different kinds of people, every kind of language, culture, cuisine imaginable. You really see how different and how very similar people are around the world, once you strip away all the nonsense that divides us.

I’m currently learning a 3rd language 😅 hats off to everyone who can speak more than 3 languages effortlessly. I aspired to do the same one day 👍🏻

This type videos give me inspire to learn another language . My mother tongue is Turkish but with only one language you cant feel to belong to world. So you must learn at least one more language. I started with English and want to learn Russian German and French. Just start and talk then it will flow like a river. Thank you so much The New Travel💖🌍🌎🌏

To the guy speak in Vietnamese that he doesn't know to speak a lot of Vietnamese, I can say your pronunciation was pretty good. Thank you for spending your time on learning Vietnamese ☺️

This lady in the end is a real gem!

I am fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese, Korean, French and Spanish. So so in Italian.

The lady in the end got my heart! She is cool, i remember a bit of latin since two universities studies but not enough to read books in it

I love the Canadians are so polite and welcome to talk to other people in any language! I had experience in Amsterdam this summer and they found out I was Canadian they were so welcoming and let me on a tour boat that was packed.

Человек начинает выглядеть совсем иначе как только говорит на другом языке.Это удивительно. Впечатление полностью меняется.

The girl at 5:23 added Hindi after Urdu. They're basically the same languages, Urdu has just more farsi words and Hindi more Sanskrit. If you're fluent in either, the other is intelligible. It's like getting to say you speak two languages just by knowing one :)

4:58 hindi and Urdu are the same with some different wiring systems. Every indian and pakistanian knows it.

this video is so warm

Is this in Toronto? Looks so good. Much more peaceful and cleaner than the big cities in the US!

I tried learning Russian once, and I think Russian is one of the most beautiful languages. Now I am learning Japanese which is an awesome language to write, if you like detail. It is also a very complicated language, with many words which can have several, several meanings.

My mother tongue is Arabic; besides, I speak English and Spanish at very good level. My German has deteriorated a bit due to lack of practice. now I am learning Turkish. I struggle moving between these languages. I forgot to say that I have learnt French up to B1 level. لقد كانت هذه الحلقة رائعة جداً, شكراً جزيلاً لك Fue muy agradable, muchas gracias İlginç bir bölümdü. Çok teşekkür ederim Es war eine interesante Folge. Vielen Dank C'etait un episode interessant, merci beaucoup

I think learning a second language is a cool thing. Because learning a new language can broaden your horizons.

I love how Indian people learn many languages and also dialects. I wish in my country it was common to learn more than 1 language

It's interesting to hear how different the languages sound. I speak English, Latvian and some Russian, but it's very different to a lot of the ones I heard in this video.

I miss Toronto so much! I was there until the first week of October and then I had to come back to Italy... But I really would like to still be there! 😭❤️

"I’m reading the Hobbit in Latin"

Omg haha!!! I'm ashamed I only speak spanish, I subscribed to your channel to practice my English Dan. You´ve helped me in that Thanks

Hi, Dan... Awesome video! I speak English, Lithuanian, and fairly modest Mexican Spanish! I was born in America but Lithuanian was my first language as a child growing up in my Lithuanian immigrant family. The Spanish comes from living in El Paso which is 85% bilingual here and my interests in visiting Mexico.

Nice vid 👍

Love the ambiance in this video, wish i could heart it!

The guy at 1:00 looked grumpy at first but just lit up when he was asked to say something in Greek :)

7:12 얼굴을 보면 100% 한국인

Good I hope you do walking tour like mine, it's always good to see other countries. Thank you

I speak ChineseMandarin and Spanish fluently and English intermediate level and I can tell you Learning language is hard process but is Worth, because provide your from different views to see things and this is amazing

My native is Azerbaijanian. I also speak Turkish, English and Russian. And I plan to work on my Italian. Well, I'm 17 yet , I still have enough time :)

Reading the Hobbit in Latin is so Nerdy. I'm jealous I'm not good enough in Latin to do that :P

Dan: "No, I don't speak french like people in Montreal, no, no...'' Also Dan: "Yes I speak french, I'm from Montréal!"

Well we can see mostly people living in Canada speak French, which is soo great. I'm in love with French and i love Canada as well. Great video btw.

I didn't know you were from Montreal! Your french sounds great :D

I really liked your videos. Nice channel. I got more interested in traveling to Canada
