*If you enjoyed this, I just filmed a PART 2 to this London video... check it out!* ➡➡ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9FyZJaUq6yzko0.html

Reminds me of the old joke: What do call someone who can speak 3 languages? Trilingual. Someone who can speak 2 languages? Bilingual. Someone who can speak only 1? English.

Interesting how the Russian counts her English, which is fine, as "half a language" and I bet most English speakers who say "half a language" mean they know three words.

The last guy is a great expression of being polite while wanting to be rude. Real british 👍👍

i could not help smiling through out the entirety of the the video. i recently visited London and it was so beautiful to see people of so many nationalities with so many different stories residing in a same country. i am seeing the new travel video for the first time and i just loved the way he edited the video, as i was i there myself learning about people by making the videos unfiltered and real.

It seems to me that there are two kind of people: some tend to say they speak many languages although they have a basic knowledege and others are shy and tend to underestimate their actual knowledge

a part of my soul died when the lady said she speaks american and english :'')

this is so lovely, everyone was happy to tell about it

1:35 she looks like an angel

I love how raw these videos are. No music, no wild editing. I love them, keep it up!

What I find most interesting is the difference in people's perceptions about "speaking", "half speaking", or "a little speaking" a language. In Europe, I noticed people would never say they speak a foreign language even though they do. Whereas Americans usually claim to speak or "speak some" Spanish or German. I met Americans who claimed to speak either of the two, but they only could say, "Hello, my name is". I would never even mention that I know a language unless I can sustain a conversation in this language. Speaking "a little XXXX", to me means I can ask for direction, and I am able to reconfirm and interact, even though it is grammatically incorrect. Speaking "some XXXX" means to me being able to communicate and express myself in mostly one particular way. Being fluent, I consider what I am in English. It's not my native language, but I can fluently speak and express myself in different ways. Knowing Gracias or Ni hao and claiming to speak "a little" Spanish or Chinese is like saying to play the piano a little but only being able to hammer Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in C-Major with one hand in the keys.

I used to speak Italian as I did my erasmus year there. But since I don't use it I lost all fluency and now I can understand it but I can barely speak it. I find incredibly amazing that some people are capable of keeping up with several languages at the same time. I study English as a foreign language so I don't have more time to also practice Italian. People who speak like 4 or 5 languages are really admirable.

that one lady who said she learnt Elvish is an actual Elf from LotR

My english level: - How many language do u speak? - Yes.

that russian lady saying half of english but she could speak and understand you perfectly lmaoo she's so humble

I adore such videos❤its shows cultural level of different people in different countries❤

I used to know a Finnish lady that could speak and write, Finnish (obviously), Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Hebrew. All fluently. She was amazing.

I felt bad for the guy who was interrupted at 9:00, he was making a good effort with his explanation, and the guy who interrupted him didn't even agree to answer; he just killed the moment.

no wild editing. I love them, keep it up!

"I speak american" 💀

I speak American and English. They never fail to impress.

I’m Romanian and what that Roma (Gypsy) gentleman wanted to say was that the Gypsy language and the Romanian language are so different, that even the few Romanian words the Gypsies introduced as neologisms into their language in about 800-1000 years since they arrived in the Romanian territories, count under 100 words altogether… and the Roma/Gypsies cannot communicate with the Romanians in their Gypsy language at all, because the languages are totally different; what he wasn’t able to clarify because his English wasn’t perfect, was that the Romanian language it’s one half very similar to Italian and the other half it’s probably inherited from the Dacian ancestors of the Romanians, called “Daci” in Romanian language. Because he did not know how to say Dacians in English, he said Daci, in Romanian meaning “Dacians”. To the English speaking world that sounds like Dutch - which would create even a bigger confusion 😂😂😂 that’s why I’m trying to explain it here 😂 Long story short, he was trying to explain that the Gypsy language comes from India and it’s related to some Indian dialects not to the Romanian language.

Your videos motivate me to learn many languages, thank you. Hello from Kazakhstan ))

Love how you filmed this.

Knowing a language is a valuable skill in this day and age. You don't need to be fluent but being able to hold a conversation can give you that leg up when it comes to things like work, travel, study etc.

I love these language videos so much, just people sharing and respecting each other's languages and cultures.

I love this so much the editing the people this is truly so beautiful

It kept my attention. Appreciate it, thank you. I am trying to learn French now, so I was interested in this topic.

4:44 "I can survive in Tunisia" made my day. As a Tunisian, speaking 4 languages (Arabic/Tunisian, French, English and German) myself, he made me so happy when he mentioned my hometown.

Пока смотрела видео, наслаждалась ответами каждого персонажа. Люблю людей! Благодарю!

I remember when I was a kid I had to take English after school courses, which usually lasted 2-3 hours each day. I was soooo mad about "English kids", because their afternoons were free, unlike mine, they could play, watch TV, do whatever they wanted! When I grew up I understood the significance of being bilingual, let alone a polyglot! Now I'm trying to learn as many languages as I can.

2:22 "I speak American, and English". *Language Simp has entered the chat*

9:50 It was nice to see a man speaking Gaelic, he was def just after the pub after work

Beautiful. Most people are kind and caring. No matter what language(s) they speak.🔑

Girl that looks like an elf speaks elvish

This video has an odd sense of wholesomeness and coziness I cant quite explain.

So amazing!!❤

These people motivate me to learn more languages. I speak English and Spanish.

I'm a 49yo Italian and learned English in the pre-Internet era. I wish I had this incredible tool when I went to school in the 80s. Taking summer courses and travelling around Europe was much more expensive and complicated than today. Let's not forget how lucky we are.

Basically, if your mother tongue happens to be French, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian, learning any or all of these languages is easier than you think.

1:20 oh my god she actually looks like she comes from a fairytale! What a beautiful girl.

🐢 Man your videos are great! People are great! You're great!

As an English native speaker it's often hard to get motivated to learn another language when so many people in the world speak English as a second language and how much of the world operates in English. I ended up leaving the UK and working overseas and as a result learned other languages. If I'd stayed in the UK I don't think I would have ever learned another language. I currently live Indonesia and speak Bahasa Indonesia here. I would never have even considered learning that language if I hadn't ended up living here.

If you asked me how many languages I speak, I'd say one. If you asked me how many I understand, I'd say two (and portions of other related languages). Huge gulf between understanding a language and being able to confidently speak it. The ability to understand stays with you a lot longer than the ability to speak.

How nice people living in London. They are kind and also very modest. You can see speaking English very fluently but they say half English :)

I love these videos!

"I speak a little bit italian!!!" proceeds to speak spanish

It drives me insane that people say they "speak" a language because they know a few sentences or words. 😅

I'm proud of the guy who was low-key exasperated when the interviewer equated Roma language with Romanian.

Your video brought a smile to my face )

love the editing! It feels so authentic also, the asian family is definiteeeely malaysian - malay, chinese, english, cantonese, hakka - those are the basic malaysia starter pack!

I love how occasionally their accents morph jsut after they've said something in another language- there's jsut something really beautiful in almost hearing someone's brain switch langauge

What a great idea!!! best of luck!!!

What a pleasant group of people.

When someone says theys speak Hakka, Cantonese, Hokkien, Taiwanese,... don't ask them to say something in "Chinese"/Mandarin. Ask them to share a little of those languages that are under pressure from the last one.

When my bilingual daughter was around 4, I explained to her that are many people in the world who only speak one language - and it absolutely blew her mind 😅

English, Portuguese, Spanish and currently learning French to see if i get a kiss. 😂 The little girl with 3 languages already. Wow!

In love with the interviewees, at least three half times

The girl at 1:30 seconds that discusses Elvish is STUNNING. She could be an elf.

Omg, I am Eritrean and i speak, English , Arabic , swedish and tigrinya, I would have never experienced some on to know tigrinya, this made me sooo happy love❤️

I really like your video, I like it when people talk like that

Thank so much . This video encourages to learn more languages as long as we could to break the invisible walls that among human beings. To understand each other is the best way to remove xenophobic attitudes from our head . Thanks .

My husband speaks Russian, I speak spanish, between us we use the English so my daughter knows these 3 languages and some Chinese still studying..

It's so interesting how some people claim to only speak a language a little, when cleary they speak it well. Others claim speaking a language while knowing only a few phrases.

9:45 - Best "No worries" I heard in my life .

This video looks perfect for teacheres to show it in the classes

the last one looked as though he was ready to attack 😁

I love that you showed so much variety and different styles of people!!!! I’m intrigued to see how diverse of the humanity!!!!

Ah, Elvish, mentioned by the lady in the second cut :D I used to study Sindarin (and a bit of Quenya) as a kid, it is a bit like Latin, you won't really have people to converse with, but it is a good training for the brain. And an inspiration to learn, as it made me learn quite a few natural languages. Pozdrawiam z Polski!

the guy with the cig and glasses . bless you

The Italian guy who spoke 4/5 languages was so nice and humble, I wish we were all like him... And it's nice to end with an Irish speaker, since Irish is a language that has mostly been lost in its native form.

Loved how you managed to cover such a wide array of languages

I was born and bred in the north of England, unfortunately the chances of learning foreign languages for an Englishmann ist basically null. Most people aren't interested because "everyone speaks English", but for those who want to learn, the barriers are that when you go abroad most people want to speak to you in English. I then decided to move to Germany with 23 years old, since living there I have also learnt French and Spanish which I frequently use in daily life. I can definitely say, learning new languages opens your mind in so many ways, it is much better to learn a culture through language than just visiting places or reading about different cultures.....communicating with people in their native language takes understanding their culture to a new level, incredible!! Maybe one day we English will be forced to learn a new world language, would be good for us I think, actually!

woww🎉 thx for video. soo cool

So nice of that blonde lady in the thumbnail to travel here from the 50s to do this interview.

1:20 she actually looks like an elf from LOTR 😀

Luke didn’t say he was French when he spoke Chinese. He just said ‘Hello. I am Luke. I lived in Shanghai for three years.’

Thumbs up for an uncle at the end of the video, he speaks Gaelic 🇨🇮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Not many people know this ancient Celtic language. Hello from Daghestan!

It’s funny how people you interviewed in England are so much more reserved that those in New York 😂

i watch these videos with a big smile, don't know why it brings me so much joy

This video made me smile all the way through it. So wholesome and Heartening to see human interaction like that

I have been to London many times. I adore London. It is everything but exciting :) I love how London is well organized, very clean for a big metropolitan. I also love how boring the city is :)

09:19 I'm so glad that the girl from Taiwan who speaks English in such a beautiful accent.

As a Londoner, this video warms my heart. Everything I love about this city encapsulated in one video. Diverse, cosmopolitan, warm, and polite. Typically, I can only speak English, but I do my best to learn a little bit wherever I go... My Spanish and Portuguese are slowly improving, to the point where I can just about make myself understood (and understand others)

I work in exhibition design and management and travelled the world working in 44 countries. I'm Scottish and only speak English (with a Scottish accent), and when I started travelling I found it very embarrassing (and typically British) that I could only speak English and in every other country I was amazed how well everyone spoke English. I made it my mission to at least try to learn to at least enough of each language to say hello, good morning/afternoon/evening, nice to meet you, how are you, I'm fine, no problem, see you tomorrow and a few other phrases. I can now speak most of these in around 15 languages and just a basic hello and thank you in many others. These include many of the main European languages and then Arabic, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Albanian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Polish. It's often just nice to be able to put a smile on people's faces when I speak a little of their language. I was a wedding photographer at a Tamil wedding in Germany four years ago and learned only one word of Tamil - Seringa = smile!! That was enough to do the job.

08:08 this is the moment when i was like "ewwwww"

This video is so cool. And people in London speaks so meany languages comparing to other cities

This series is fascinating. Thanks for doing these.

It's interesting what people mean by the verb speak. For me speaking a language means fluency. But as I understand from these videos for many people to speak a language means just to be able to communicate the basics. To survive, as one person said.

Many language enthusiasts! 😍😍

Very interesting one! We appreciate your work!

for some reasons this type of videos are healing to watch and it seems like as if it was taken in the early 2010's thank you so much keep up the good content!

Your English is very fluent, I also want to improve my English like you and try to improve myself every day.

🌟Love this, thanks so much 💛 7:31 🤘📯

Speaking multiple languages is always a very Awesome and Impressive (and useful) talent to possess!

Nice to see so many people speaking so many languages. Feels like it's normal.

It's funny to see how people perceive themselves capable of speaking many languages and when one comes across them they usually say something so much simple so that I can't hold myself to laugh out loud. Even though I'm highly motivated to speak English for certain reasons I'm still trying to figure out an architecture of spoken English.🤣

The little girl was so cute - and 3 languages already, wow

1:22 Awww she was adorable, a LOTR fan🥺💔

🐢 I just suscribed rn, and thank you for this picture 7:29
