I speak (not quite fluent) English (fluent) French, Italian, Spanish & a little Russian (I don't really have a resource for Russian). (Why?) Germany, Munich. There is a film titled Munich and when I saw the poster on the wall in a video store I read it in my head as an English word (to give you a reference or example: to pronounce it in the German language, an English speaker would spell it as "Mewnick") I had no clue it wasn't even an English word but the guy I was with corrected me. Another similar example: The actor Cam Gigandet. How I learned the language? Given that when I saw the word written, I got it wrong, I used Coffee Break Languages to listen to it spoken on a podcast.

We, french, can be fluent in english, but pronounce words properly is so difficult to us. So many words are similar to french (as english is highly influenced by french language), but the way english pronounces those words is sooooo different from us. It makes us struggling a lot. Good channel, keep up !

@pratosaurusrex1128 5 ай бұрын

It’s nice that you want to try to pronounce English properly but as long as you can be understood, that’s the main thing. I think most native speakers won’t be critical if your pronunciation is not 100%.

Philadelphian here (i.e., 1.5-hr. train ride from NYC). Just thought I would show my fellow Americans (and others) that they, too, can learn languages by stating that I am fluent in four languages (English, French, Italian, Spanish) and functional in three others (Portuguese, German, Catalan). Both of my parents and all of my grandparents were born in the U.S.; all of them only speak/spoke English. I decided to break the mold by learning more languages to communicate with more people and to get more out of my trips. Only time will tell how many languages I will learn! I know that you, KZfaqrs, can do the same! :)

Well,in particular I don't agree with the statement that assumes the majority Americans are monolingual. In popular cities in the United States it is possible to find plenty of Americans fluent in Spanish. By the way, all Americans who I know manage to speak fluent Spanish. In addition, you're right when you say in several countries such as Brazil, people cannot speak other languages aside their language, Portuguese. Unfortunately,very few Brazilians are able to speak other languages.

As an Italian I’m surprised that almost nobody in these videos speak Italian; I guess we weren’t as successful in colonizing as other Western European countries not that it is a bad thing morally speaking, but Italian is still an important language in many aspects such as music, literature, food and culture in general and it still has more than 80 million speakers worldwide so I’m a bit astonished that very few people mention it in these videos especially considering that is one of the easiest languages for English speakers to learn.

The Californians are weird but very typical: They hail from a place chock full of Spanish speakers. They spend their time chock full of Spanish speakers. And they wish they could speak Spanish to make their lives easier. But they just don't care enough to try. Full disclosure: I am a Californian who has traveled all throughout South America and have met tons of people like this. I speak Spanish fluently, though. And it always boggles my mind to meet people who would purposefully handicap themselves like this.

As a Spanish speaker I think not every one has it in them to learn other languages, even if they are literally surrounded by a particular language. You could say the same about many Latino immigrants who also never learn English even after living in the US 30, 40, even 50 years or more. Honestly, that boggles my mind even more than non-Latino Americans who don’t learn Spanish even if they live in heavily Spanish-speaking areas, such as Cali, Miami or some neighborhoods here in NYC (Washington Heights, Jackson Heights, Corona, Inwood)
