Hey mate.. do you only stick to Asian languages because I'd love to hear you try Dutch..? 'They' say you're not much if you don't speak Dutch lol.

You should try to learn Russian. It’s a tough language to learn from scratch, but I’m sure you could master it since you’ve mastered tougher languages like Mandarin

I don't think you could learn any of the Scandinavian languages. Some words have like 7 or 8 different meanings. Good luck if try.

I love this comment

@@Toolray6985 of course...white people are often seen in the world as thinking they're better or only speaking English...especially Americans, as soon as you show someone you know something about their culture and language it opens them up to taking you as someone who they can then identify with instead of viewing as someone they have nothing in common with.

it helps but you really don't need to speak multiple languages to realize we're all "normal people", whatever that means

You talk about people being normal people, y’all never been to Afghanistan.

So true. It almost makes me cry

i once read a book where it said if humanity onlynhad 1 language we would be wayyy more nice to each other

Indeed. If you could talk to people you usually see theyre not that dif from yourself. Most people have more in common than not.

Yes, its like you are in a better mood when you understand each other eaasly

I noticed it too. I saw it as a sign of respect that he speaks their language and can connect to them on a human level. Its so cool to see. Love it

That's not super surprising. If anyone learns about an entire language, it's clear they have a strong respect and admiration for it, the people and culture very likely just as much. It's a massive sign of respect.

I think it’s the pride of seeing their tongue made it into another country/culture. On top of it being executed respectfully and fluent.

Yeah, I really wish I can pick up foreign language as fast as he is.

It also has to do with the fact he is switching on the fly and all of a sudden at times. For instance that one cantonese line he throws in never really stands a chance to get tonally adjusted cause he literally throws it in between English sentences. The mandarin comes over much more fluid cause he actually is making a point, asking more. So sometimes i think accent is also him not taking or giving time in situation. If i switch to quickly despite being a close to native speaker in different languages the accents and intonation’s get mixed up too

@@hanli5416 that's interesting. I can speak english very well, but I find new things I never knew every day, so I consider myself far away from being close to a native. Also my accent seems more eastern European than anything else 😅 I can spot the difference between english from US, Australia and UK most if the time, and I can spot the difference between a southern accent or one from up north from US, but can't spot the difference of accents from other US states. You must have a huge knowledge of the languages you speak close to natives. How many do you speak so well, and how many in total?

@@AbelSorin in my case its cantonese, dutch and english. My cantonese is limited in the sense that my range of known words is somewhat limited and i can’t write chinese but it was the first language i learned and still use with family. Dutch is from where i live and was born. English is the one where one might argue i might have a big accent without knowing it. I am however pretty sure i don’t have what some dutch people call steenkolengruis english. I have been called out on sounding high and laidback online. Which is funny really cause in real life i’m pretty sure nervous twitchy would be more mentioned. Offcourse in normal situations i don’t use english that often and online i am gaming so i might just be more relaxed then. I also learned 4 years of French and German but i can honestly say i don’t consider myself really capable of using the languages. Allthough i don’t have much problems understanding german. And oh yh 2 years of latin but i only remember tidbits of that rlly

@@hanli5416 that's interesting. My native language is romanian, and as we grew up we started learning English since kindergarden, but my family didn't have a TV until I was maybe in the 7th grade or so, so I haven't watched TV as a child to help me. We started learning French from the 5th grade, up to the 12th, but again, our highschool teaches was not so interested in us, and many times asked us to let her go solve something. It was always the last hour every Wednesday with us. When she didn't ask, we left anyway, after we got used to it, so you could say we forgot in the last 4 years the little we knew from our first 4 years. When I was 19 or 20 I started ninge watching series in English, and in the first 3 years my English got so much better. In school I was mediocre with my English knowledge. Then at 23 I moved to Austria, and now at 30 returned back to my country. I only did a German course before leaving Austria, and started one earlier but was interrupted half way. I learned most of it by myself, and I got close to B2, at least at speaking I was rated B2 while doing the B1 course before leaving. As a teen I also watched some spanish series because of my older sister, and now I understand quite a bit of Spanish. Bach then I could even have a conversation, now I am struggling. So English is the closest to native foreign language I speak as well. And I also notice my pitch also changes to a bit higher when talking in English. I believe that is because this language has a different pronounciation than the other languages I speak, so I have to do that for a better pronounciation.

@@hanli5416 that’s a good point about switching languages, especially when I’m going between Spanish and German, they aren’t super different structure wise but the sounds are pretty different

Just go from another day working to such a surprising moment. Love it and wish I worked harder in my language classes in school.

that’s why it’s such an advantage living in such a multicultural area, so many people to practice with!

Completely agree, this is why living in a very diverse city is so essential to anyone learning different languages. That’s the great thing about NYC, you can literally be in different places around the world, yet, be in the same city. This doesn’t work in places like Utah, Ohio, Idaho… Personally, I think it’s very rewarding living in a place that is rich in different cultures. We can all learn so much from each other, and appreciate our differences.

@@josesousa1059 You just made my point, 3 countries out of the 40+ in Asia is not the whole continent. That is not "Asian" culture. That'd be like taking England and Scotland and saying "European culture". It doesn't work like that. It's Korean culture to be honest like that, yes. In Japanese culture, typically it is the exact opposite. It'll drive you nuts at times with how often they beat around the bush. I can't speak for Chinese culture, as I am unfamiliar with it, but I know that because the country is so big, it varies from north to south. Basically, you can't just lump everything into one basket. It's inaccurate.

@@hannahwalmer1124 I know what you mean exactly, but there is some truth to this "Asian culture" thing. As an Indian, I feel like the cultures in this country are closer to central, east and south-east Asia, than they are to those Europe, Africa or Americas. Lots of similar traditions and customs.

Though this is mostly brought on by the immigrants themselves not really melting but instead sticking themselves at the edge of the pot and remaining unmixed clumps. For instance he has a set of videos where he goes to these parallel societies and speaks English in his American accent the entire time pretending to be a dumb American until the people around his start to talk behind his back thinking he doesn’t understand. This is obviously purposely denying a third person the ability to communicate by shutting off what you think is his only means to communicate which is English. It’s only when her reveals that he can completely understand them that they become so much warmer and open to him. Instead of trying to communicate they purposely exclude themselves from the dominant language and culture the reap the benefits despite being perfectly capable of assimilating instead. This is what annoys people. If someone can’t speak English at all, a majority of Americans are very accommodating and understanding but when you can communicate to Americans but simply choose not to in favor of trying to backstab them when you think they aren’t looking, then you are an asshole. The problem is that this backstabbing behavior is encouraged by many immigrants which leads to Americans to become less trustworthy of a person’s intentions in not speaking English. Is that lady only speaking Tagalog because she doesn’t know English? Or is she not speaking English because she is talking mad shit about my shoes and wants to hide it? And all of this is coming from the first generation immigrant of the Philippines. I find it very annoying when my mom, a Philippine native, will speak Tagalog in public because I Recognize that to those who don’t understand, it looks like she’s trying to talk shit when in reality she’s only talking shit about me. “Why can’t you were your nice clothes like that girl?” I correct her about that kind of thing a lot and she and all of her friends who are also immigrants from Japan, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore…All of them understand that it looks bad. Which is why we all work hard to speak English clearly. We want to communicate, not talk behind the backs of Americans until they learn our languages and sus us out.

@@kota69420 yeah, those things happen. I've seen a video of a karen getting mad when they hear a foreigner speak a non-english country, and told them to go back where they came from. It's really sad tbh

@@kota69420 unfortunately, hearing people say "speak ENGLISH this is America!" (Sometimes they'll even say this outside of America, in the places itself that don't natively speak English, they just expect everyone to know it)

This is often misunderstood. What you're describing isn't a melting pot. It's called a melting pot because all of the different people of the world come together and become one. It requires a basic level of assimilation, and that basic level is generally language and cultural customs. If you moved to Japan, you would need to learn the Japanese language, and if you move to America you need to learn English. That's not to say that you can't also speak another language but the language of the broader culture should become your language. That's where the melting comes in. You're describing what's called a "salad bowl" where everybody holds onto their language and culture and doesn't assimilate. The ingredients of a salad don't melt into one, they simply remain as they are and share the same area with other ingredients. It's a terrible way to structure society. It doesn't work well because it segregates society, doesn't create community, and breeds distrust among different groups. That's why the term melting pot is used.
