You won't believe their reactions when I play dumb and suddenly speak their language fluently. I've studied 5 different Asian languages through audio lessons and I'm taking it to the streets to meet new people. Let's see what happens!

@@x808drifter Yeah I think you are way off the mark lol Even though English was born out of a mix of old European languages, It's still very different! And English is actually one of the hardest languages to learn despite also being the most spoken language on earth - It's so popular because of the British empire. As a second language it's very difficult to fully grasp the complex grammar rules, pronunciation variations, and vast vocabulary.. Not to mention we have an American variation which adds to that.

This reminds me of a high school friend who studied all sorts of languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) in High School, he was from El Salvador and was living in the US, so add Spanish and English) and majored in Japanese at UCLA. We all lost contact with him after he graduated though. I imagine he went to Japan to escape family expectations of some sort. He hid a lot of stress, and I don't think it was from studying so many languages (successfully) at once.

​​​@@aaabbb-py5xdWhat's the matter with you? Where in the comment do they mention the word "fluent"? Also you don't always need 30 years to become fluent in a language. There are people that spend 30 years speaking a language but they're not fluent, and there are people that spend 10 years or less learning and speaking a language that are fluent. It just depends on the person, methods and how much time they've spent immersing themselves in the language they're learning. Plus, you never really stop learning a language anyway. You always keep learning. Would you be able to guess from my comment whether I'm from an English-speaking country or not?

I speak English and German, and have become familiar with several other languages when I lived in those regions, but never became conversational in them. They were Arabic, Dari, Croatian and Pashto. I learned enough phrases to get by and do my job, but once the locals started talking at a hundred miles per hour, I was completely lost. Listening to people like you who can instantly transition seamlessly from one language to another and back again simply amazes me. I don't have any plans to ever learn an Asian language so I don't remember how I found your channel, (probably KZfaq recommended vids) but once I heard you speaking, I was hooked because, like you, I think languages are just incredibly interesting and fun to learn.

you know what I enjoy most about these episodes? It's how fast you effortlessly switch between languages while having a good time, and you are such a lovely person. not exactly the same as code switching (my mother did that sometimes between German and English, as well as my family between English and Japanese ), but close. Korean and Vietnamese are significantly different from Japanese and Chinese (speaking and written). That's quite a challenge. I have a difficult time learning both Japanese and French and then maintaining some level of fluency. 日本語は覚えられるけどフランス語なら難しい。ドイツ語も。。。母はドイツ人だけどさ。本当にえらいですね! 5か国語を話せる。

@@doragonsureia7288 Technically, code switching is when you use multiple codes (languages or dialects) within one conversation. Anming is definitely doing that. What I think akinoshimo is referring to is switching codes mid-sentence. The funny part about this is, you might be doing it without even realising. I'm German, too, and speak English very well. I use more English in a day than I do German, truth be told. When I was at uni, speaking to a friend who also spoke English very well... apparently, we used such a mix of German and English that other people were unable to follow our conversation. I had no idea we were even doing that! As far as I was concerned, we were speaking German, with maybe the odd English word thrown in here and there, but not that it was that bad - but this was confirmed by multiple other people, so I guess I just have to believe it.

"Japan looks like a beautiful country." It is. My wife and I went there. Japan is clean, organized, modern, and safe. The people are very polite. My Costa Rican wife's conclusion: "Los japoneses son muy cultos" (The Japanese are very cultured.) Indeed.

It really gets me pumped up to work harder at my Japanese lessons after watching your videos. 😁❤ After my first trip to Japan just before the pandemic hit the world I didn't know enough Japanese so I couldn't really talk to people. I did know about 200 words but you don't start up conversations with something random like that. 😋 I memorized some phrases I knew could be handy traveling in the country by myself for a month and yes, they broke the ice every time I needed to ask something. Starting with fluent English makes people clam up and hesitate, but if you start of in Japanese and ask them politely if they speak English there were never any problem to find a way to communicate. Even if their English was really poor. You never get tired of the appreciering smiles you get when you try speaking Japanese. One idea for a video maybe is asking Japanese people about their view on foreigners who at least try and those who don't bother and expect everyone to understand English. Keep up the good work! 👍

@@OrientalPearl Do you have any good tip about how to get Hiragana and Katakana to stay in your head? :P This is my largest hurdle at the moment. I can memorize words and phrases and remember them but this... I'm not sure I want to sit every day for hours just writing them down on after another, page after page... Keep up the good work!

I had a brother who recently passed that spoke Korean. He was in the US Army, and they sent him to learn Korean and then stationed him there. When he came home, he got a job where he met many people visiting America. He always enjoyed speaking to visiting Koreans in their own language. They were always so surprised and grateful. He was able to help many people with directions and other things. My son was also stationed in Korea, and my wife and I visited him there. I enjoyed the visit and seeing the sites. We visited Chinatown there. Enjoying your videos. How to Asian people react to your long blonde hair? My granddaughter had long blonde hair as a young girl living in Korea, and all the young girls called her princess and wanted their pictures taken with her.
