Being Multilingual ist oberaffentittengeil, n'est-ce pas? (Multilingual/English)

Note to self: work on proper form for multi-person videos and improve public speaking. Anyways, due to the limited time I had between filming and posting this video, the subtitles are still in the works. Also, as I found out it's a bit difficult to automatically caption a multilingual video (without doing so directly on the video itself during editing), here's a link to the transcript of the video, which will be added to this video asap along with the translations: weareourbrains.... My apologies for all French/Greek errors. Starting with my next video, all German/English subs will be posted on time with the upload.

How to Add Closed Captioning in Your Language (for Viewers):
Take the video URL you wish to caption but replace "watch" with "timedtext_video". This should take you to a rather self-explanitory page that allows you to either upload or manually insert your captions and tag them appropriately.

I can speak 3 languages fluently: Spanish (is my native language), German(bc i live in Switzerland) and English (thx to cartoon network, mtv etc.^^) And now i'm learning french :) I must say, you two are truly an inspiration to keep up with the learning. Macht weiter so!

[@charcoalc5]

you're an inspiration for me to learn German. I'll get it one day little by little

[@iRosati]

c_rivs same

[@anpaliba8090]

I recently moved to the United States even tho I am born in Germany. I am younger than you but it is really interesting to see someone else do it the other way around :) very impressed by your geman skills :)

Oh ich liebe liebe liebe eure mehrsprachigen Videos. Es ist so cool einer Konversation zu folgen, die größtenteils auf englisch ist, welches ja eine Fremdsprache für mich ist. Trotzdem verstehe ich Französisch teilweise und Deutsch sowieso. Ich weiß genau was ihr ausdrücken wollt und ich freue mich immer über diese Erfahrung. Gerade was ihr gesagt habt, dass man sich in viel mehr Wegen ausdrücken kann, wenn beide Gesprächspartner mehrsprachig sind, habe ich selbst schon erlebt. Oh and Michelle I would love to watch a video from you. Maybe you can tell us something about your daily use of the foreign languages you know. Like when and how long or for what you use them. That kinda things. En plus, je veux savoir quoi vous pense à des langues asiatique et si vous avez fait des expériences avec lequelles? Liebe Grüße ^-^

[@scottconnor22]

Yes it is great to have more resources. Because Im learning Japanese if I'm looking up information about Japanese history, a movie or a band, I can go to the Japanese Wikipedia and there is usually more information than the English Wikipedia

[@Teenagegirl95]

Luckily I understand German, English and a little bit French because this video is a lot more interesting that way :) I had a touring guide in Italy once and he could speak 8 languages fluently! and he was really really good at all of them. I was so impressed. Do you ever worry about not speaking a language perfectly? because obviously the more languages you speak the more mistakes you are going to make. I speak multiple languages too and it's difficult for me to keep up with all of them!

[@boabysands123]

An interesting perspective. Regarding the multilingualism/bilingualism concepts, you might be interested to look into how linguists seem to use the term multilingualism in a different and maybe more precise way than the rest of us. They also use the term Plurilingualism in a way you might find useful. Some people to check out on this: David Crystal, David Little and all the stuff at www.ecml.at or www.coe.int/t/dg4/linguistic/

Călătoriile plac oricui este normal. Știu în ce privește viata de familie și profesia totul se schimbă dar este totul de comun acord când ceea ce te leagă este dragostea

[@MovieSpottingBerlin]

Das amerikanische Englisch verstehe ich gar nicht 😞

[@RCD503]

Ich spreche Englisch als meine Muttersprache, aber ich spreche auch Deutsch und ein wenig Spanisch. Aber ich leibe verschiedene Kulturen so viel wie verschiedene Sprachen. Wenn ich fand einen Flaschengeist, würde ich mir wünschen, jede Kultur und jede Sprache kennen:)

[@63theory]

The word in French for free (meaning costing nothing) should be "gratuit" not libre. E.g. "Le livre, c'était gratuit" "Libre" means free in the sense of released or unoccupied. E.g. "Est-ce que cette place est libre?" Ils sont les mêmes en anglais, ouais, mais pas en français. N'oubliez pas!

[@shirinsamadi6300]

amazing :)

[@nootherlikemyownskin3818]

I would like to know how to do that translate in Japanese on KZbin video. Or other languages I'm interest in learning. To Chinese writing system there simplified & traditional. They are Hindi, Thai, Urdu Pakistan, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Hmong, German, & French. I fluently signer of ASL. I would like to know where can you buy taboo subjects in mult languages & DVD or Blu ray?

[@shepherd1938]

Sorry but your sister doesn't speak French well at all. She'd better be a bit modest.

[@xxMariaAthenaxx]

I don't think there's anything wrong with having confidence in your language skills regardless of what level they're at. For someone with her experience, her French is fine - better than average when compared to her peers in the same level course and when considering her hypothetical knowledge of the language, decent enough to place her into higher level French without prerequisite courses at uni - and she is understood well by other French-speakers. Moreover, she is aware that she makes mistakes. Even the best language learners can have their shit days where they can barely understand a word, bumble like an idiot and fail at everything from accurate reading to basic comprehension. I wouldn't judge someone's ability to speak a language based on one short snippet of them speaking on a certain day under certain conditions. I mean, I still get comments telling me I don't know German based on a 30 second clip of me from 5 years ago before I ever visited Germany or finished my degree, so you can hopefully understand me when I say: Don't judge a person's language skills based on one random encounter, you likely don't have the whole picture yet. :)

[@Juniorfoxnetdude]

Maria Athena I agree with you 100% on this! And btw, your sister DOES speak French very well. Even though she made a few mistakes, I could understand everything she said and she has an ok accent. Keep rocking on, girls!

[@laurentiubadescu6695]

Am înțeles riscul și de ce ați văzut lucrurile așa dar nimic din ce mi s a propus nu s a legat

[@laurentiubadescu6695]

Nu știu ce sa mai zic

[@luisschneider8207]

Schwäbisch ist auch toll und cool

[@blackhayate23]

Ich würde so gernw griechisch lernen. Aber es kommt mir sehr schwer vor :( habt ihr tipps für mich?

[@datalaforge]

French has wonderfully fancy words.

[@iliskanal]

Meine Muttersprache ist Bulgarisch und ich bin in Deutsch auf Niveau C1. My English is on level B1 I think, I'm not quite sure. In der Schule lerne ich auch Altbulgarisch und Altgriechisch. Andere Sprachen die ich gerne lernen würde, wären Holländisch und Japanisch. :)

[@nordmann1]

bin ich multilingual wenn ich niederländisch schwedisch deutsch und scottish english kann?

[@drumfisch]

michelle sieht griechisch richtung zentraleuropa, russland aus, maria richtung türkisch italienisch... das mit dem taubsein is spannend, diese leute können wohl nicht so richtig über worte erzogen werden undsind so vllt freier und gefühlvoller. direkt mal welche suchen

[@skymarshall7813]

Warum lernt man Französisch? :)

[@omarali4590]

Weil es sozusagen die zweite Weltsprache ist? Außerdem ist es immer gut ne Sprache zu lernen, egal wie "wichtig" sie ist.

[@Chriss027]

Mohammad Ali zweite Weltsprache?! ist das jetzt dein ernst?

[@omarali4590]

Chriss027 Ja?
