[Abnormal Summit] (Eng Sub) American-Korean having difficulty speaking English 비정상회담 49회

[@patsfatcats]

I love how he doesn't just speak korean, but he speaks korean like an old ahjussi lmao

[@Pranckall]

+patsfatcats cos when he arrived in korea, everyone spoke like that

[@insu1569]

+Pranckall not everyone spoke like that, the area just had such dialect

[@daj8989]

yeah he lived in Busan and married a woman from there so he adopted their dialect.

[@jiyoonjeon421]

patsfatcats lmao that's true, but his korean is really good

[@fihyohunnie]

what do you mean

[@hirozuki]

Ive only seen clips of this show but i really like the idea that all these people from different countries are uniting, sharing humor, discussing stuff with opinions from different perspectives. I've always had foreign friends growing up (n grew up in 2 cultures as well) so it's really nice there is a show like this, i wish more people could get along with foreigners like this without hating them purely based on history or politics

[@operiwinkleo1932]

A show like this would be great in america, plus it would be nice to see people explaining their life experiences n getting to know each other

[@ADJackD]

There was a US one in old black n white I remember being recommended a brazilian girl made a show on it can’t remember the name but came LONG before this one

[@anrina]

Oh my god, that guy is so funny! He's so embarrassed to speak in his native tongue because it's been too long in his adopted tongue. Also he really does looks like that other dude! Especially his younger picture.

[@therock8224]

Yep! But he certainly didn't struggle either (unlike what the title claims). If he did, he would have had to pause a little longer to find the words he was looking for, or made some mistakes. I live in Asia and sometimes, especially among non-native English speakers, I feel like because I need to speak more slowly and carefully, I make a lot of mistakes when speaking English. I often find myself correcting myself using the correct words/grammar that I misspoke just moments earlier. Fortunately, this doesn't tend to happen around native speakers, but it is an interesting curiosity. While I read/write (or should I say type) English daily, I don't tend to speak it much, except when I go on business trips to other countries. That's because I am, like the guy in the video, fluent in the language of the country I live in.

[@someonenothere8818]

Lol he struggled to find words, but his pronunciation was perfect haha.

[@LiviaVengence]

Please JTBC upload the old episode and the new ones with English subtitles like KBS do. You are gaining a lot of international fans who loved this show immensely. I find this show knowledgeable and enjoyable to see different countries/background debating on important issues.

[@019christinalalrinkimiralt9]

[@xgfreedom]

Why wouldn't it... It is the capitol of the state California.

[@impuritiesshow]

[@mwa8696]

The reason why he struggles is because it's extremely difficult to switch to another language (even your mother tongue) in a situation during which you are used to using another language. You can compare it to wearing heels while playing sports even though you are used to wearing trainers. It would be extremely difficult to exercise, while you might be completely fine going out partying all night on those same heels. Switching languages quickly is an art in itself and difficult to do.

[@rawrbanana5762]

Margreet Abrahamse not really? i can speak both italian and switch to english without any difficulties.

[@CeecileArya]

YA DAMN RIGHT That's because it's something you do regularly. The guy probably doesn't get to speak English that often. It's the same for me with French. Even though it's my mother tongue I find it awkward to express myself in French and prefer English.

[@bono8236]

​@@rawrbanana5762 Maybe it is more because of the similarity between English and Italian. Switching English to Korean or vice versa is quite different. (p.s. I know Italian is more similar to Spanish than English. I just want to say to compare English-Italian with English-Korean. And he does not struggle. He just stopped speaking cuz there were really not many topics to say suddenly in English. American friends ask me to speak Korean with other Korean whom I just met through them. I have "nothing" to say with him. What could I say to the person just I met. where are you from? what is your name? that's it.

[@FuchsHund]

I totally agree

[@itsanixela]

I'm a native French speaker and taught English in Korea for 2 years. My sister visited my in SK afterwards and she was shocked at how bad my French had become lol. My thought processes are in English now and I have to translate in my head before I speak French.

[@Scgod2]

It's interesting how languages can be fighting in your head over dominance to be the main form of communication. It takes a lot, and I mean A LOT of practice. That's why, even bilingual or multi-lingual kids struggle as well. They get frustrated and can't decide how to translate or which word to use, because they must balance and juggle languages on the spot, which takes practice, and if you don't get that practice, you will have a hard time. Growing up in California, I had my fair share of watching my classmates get annoyed that they couldn't translate or explain what a word in Spanish was in English. I saw other kids just give up and tell us, "just learn the language" because they couldn't be bothered. This is why I have mad respect for translators and interpreters. They do a job that is not highly respected, taken advantage of, and low pay. Seriously, show more respect to a translator next time. They do a job, that no one wants, and not many know how to do.

[@Ladeliciadelinda]

That is so funny. I want to see the whole episode. He really does speak Korean like a native. When he spoke English I thought there would be a accent too. I know people who were born in the states then lived elsewhere far to long and they end up coming back and sounding a bit like a foreigner. It’s easy to forget your mother tongue if you lived elsewhere too long

[@xohyuu]

[@digitalmedia1715]

The funny part is, when Mr. Robert spoke in Korean, he looked comfortable. But he looked a bit nervous while talking to Tyler in English. Awww that was kinda cute 😄

[@matcha_]

That used to happen to me often. I went on vacation to visit my grandparents. After I got back, if someone asked me a question in English, I would reply back with a jumble of different words in different languages. Plus since the guy said he's been living in Korea since 1978, that's about 37 years. If you consistently speak a language on a day to day basis, you either get other languages mixed up or your native language sometimes gets "pushed" to the back of your head. It's actually easier to listen to and understand another language than it is to reply back even if you know the language fully, but haven't been keeping up or practicing using it.

[@jiminsfilter1909]

[@malinspirit]

Xin Jin No it's possible to forget at least the majority of your mother tounge depending on how many years you used it for at first and how many years your haven't used it since. The brain will automatically adapt to make the most used language the one that you 'think' in. Now I don't think you could lose it ALL. At least the basics and simple. conversation would stick by

[@MrDashima]

I agree with Mallory. I've seen so many Koreans who moved to Canada when they were about 5-~9 years old. Considerable number of them have a strong English accent, make numerous grammatical errors, and can't string sentences together beyond the ultra basics.

[@MoonAngelicChild]

I'm Portugese but live in Holland for 14 years and I forgot a good 95% of my portugese. I can remember the basics and understand it a bit, but I will never be able to follow a whole conversation

[@kpoopguurl]

My boyfriend's native tongue is Vietnamese but since he was put in ESL, he forgot almost all Viet but he can only understand a bit. For me I'm Filipino living in the US for 10+ years but I can still speak my mother tongue AND English. It just depends on how much you're exposed to it and how people communicate with you. He probably wasn't exposed to English as much as Korean so he's forgetting it.
