@@samthisam570 I- did you fail geography? I really hope you're joking rn

@@samthisam570 Asia is a continent (like Europe and Africa, for example). Inside this continent are many countries, including China (where people speak Chinese), Korea (where people speak Korean) and Japan (where people speak Japanese). Chinese, Korean and Japanese are Asian languages, but "Asian" isn't a language. The same way there are European languages (such as French and German) and African languages (such as Zulu or Swahili), but "European" and "African" aren't languages. Hope that's more clear for you.

Us bilinguals stick together

Any tips for a semi multilingual? I can understand tagalog, but can’t speak it Can speak very little Japanese, and can understand very little Can speak fluent english

@@HopefullyNotYou i have mastered 3 languages and can understand 4 others while speaking a little bit of each of these 4. My tip is force yourself to listen and speak and think in the new language. For example, if you are learning Japanese, practice, practice, practice 40hrs a day (lol but seriously practice as much as possible). You should watch like 2-3 hrs of japanese tv a day, without subtitles in your native language but in Japanese. (careful though because japanese variety TV is... Interesting). Also, try to think in this language, it will force you to learn everyday words. I am a bit of a polyglot by force and choice, i have mastered Albanian, and Italian because of my moving from one country to another, English because of the internet, French because of school and because i love French opera Spanish and Latin come naturally with Italian and German because of school. Anyone can do it if my 14 year old self can. Just practice practice practice, because a language is like a muscle, if you don't work it out you will lose it.

@@dkfood just a little thing about Korean

Timestamp?

@@tired7632 15:45

Thanks!

The explanation given in another comment which I second is: Japanese uses Chinese characters (though from way earlier, so they are neither quite simplified nor traditional) and has two interchangeable syllable alphabets (more similar to what Korean uses but w/o the dynamic merger of 'letters'). Also Japanese influence (mainly from colonialism) trickled into the Korean language while both use way more anglicisms than Chinese, so probably the common ground makes sense that way.

@@whohan779 that theory is nice and sensible, but I have a one word theory: anime

@@raychances6251 can confirm, its anime

@@dothmotherknowyouwearth a reasonable conclusion. The Japanese language, as a whole, is simply higher tier music.

@@BarelyNoticeable A grand conclusion. I must write a paper on it!

No no no it’s clearly Italian

You wouldn't understand, this is something only the trained ear could understand

after watching an enough amount of twoset videos you'll somehow understand without a prior training in music lol

I'm going to become that someday. Probably in a few months when I'm not considered a beginner violinist that can only play Mary had a little lamb on the D string.

Seriously I'll be hearing God's voice at the gates of heaven and they're like ughh sorry today's not my day

@@katedp7825 i’ve been playing for 5 years and am no where near this good i blame part of it because i don’t take private lessons therefore i am missing my training on music theory

- they share knowledge in music - rising intonation of the voice is also a cue - they're using alot of nonverbal cues too (gestures) the musicians here are probably good nonverbal/non-linguistic communicators.

or just the fact that they're all musicians and can figure out what eachother mean since they're used to working with other musicians.

it’s also the fact that usually words are very clumsy at describing what music sounds like, so it’s usually more straightforward to play to demonstrate than to use words, esp. in this context where they all know how to produce the nuances that they’re envisioning

I’m pretty sure that most ppl who don’t play instruments or are involved in music wouldn’t understand it, though

This also isn't mentioning all of the non verbal communication that people do in normal rehearsals anyway. For example one person may start suddenly playing very slightly faster than everyone else to either indicate that they feel like they should be louder during this section, or that they should speed up. There's tons of nuance.

THIS WOULD BE PERFECT😭🤌

The numbers in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are similar because at one point China controlled all three areas.

Korea actually uses two different sets of numbers, and one set is indeed very similar to Chinese.

@@WorldifySanity China has NEVER controlled Japan lol, the culture and language is just very similar due to the trade between the two nations and also confucianism. China did control Korea though

Don’t you have your own things to do other than to insult someone for being alive? Seeing this gave me a bit of hope for humanity

And asked if the other 2 wanted some too :0

That Just That Yes

Yes. Nor slower.

For me you would have to speak slower if I knew q little bit of the language, or use lots of hand movements.

The "speak louder" is only a thing I know from monolingual English speakers. But the most important thing is to speak slower and clearly; doing it louder is the opposite of clearer (unless you speak too soft already)
