I love this! I see a lot of people pointing out that some languages were quite elementary like it's a bad thing, but it is honestly so valuable to know even just a couple sentences in another language. It instantly allows you to meet and connect with so many new people because it's not about being fluent in a language, it's about having enough love for languages, cultures, and people all over the globe that allows you to connect with others. For example, when I visited Korea I was much more successful in communicating just by learning the phrase "I don't speak Korean, but I can speak English in Japanese." Hearing it in their native tongue made them more relaxed and open to communicating in a language we shared, while trying to do everything completely in English would have been more stressful.

I know a woman who took spanish is high school and I think she said she did some in college, and she said it did nothing for real world and business talking. 99% of her employees are Spanish speakers, so she does good but she says that is because she has had to learn from then. The Spanish speakers are older so they really struggle with English, especially since they aren't really around English that much.

This video made me smile! I love how you aren't afraid to speak the amount you know. You are engaging and people respond to your openness and friendliness in kind. I always feel nervous trying to speak a foreign tongue and that anxiety can stop me from improving. You show us that trying is all it takes! I grew up in a bilingual family in the USA (Spanish and English although some only spoke Spanish). and with many Russian and Ukranian-speaking people. When I went to college, I took Russian in class for fun and it is amazing how much you learn in a casual chat. I roomed with people who spoke Hindi and Arabic, then later with people who spoke Irish language and Urdu. I wish I had your ability to retain languages, but I only got words and phrases. You remind me of all the great people I have met and grown with who spoke many languages...and watching you have positive interactions with people gives me the courage to continue studying languages and go find people to chat with! THANK YOU! You seem very kind! SUBBED!

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal: BEEP. A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound: DING. Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start

Yeah I was surprised to see the Latvian guy, but even more surprised he didn't recognize it or even guess Lithuanian, Russian or Ukrainian since it is more a Slavic language. To me, Latvian is always recognisable since all the words end with an "s" (or it just sounds like it). The only word I know is saldejums and that ends with an "s" :).
@ShamankaIlona 2 жыл бұрын
@@0Tikrimoos0 "Čau, mani sauc Miķelis. Man patīk skriet, trenēties." All words do not end with s. There are dialects in Latvian. Latgalian could sound like slavic, but west Latvian do not sound like slavic for sure. It sounds more Finnic. Because Latvian is very influenced by Livonian language.
