What I find most interesting is the difference in people's perceptions about "speaking", "half speaking", or "a little speaking" a language. In Europe, I noticed people would never say they speak a foreign language even though they do. Whereas Americans usually claim to speak or "speak some" Spanish or German. I met Americans who claimed to speak either of the two, but they only could say, "Hello, my name is". I would never even mention that I know a language unless I can sustain a conversation in this language. Speaking "a little XXXX", to me means I can ask for direction, and I am able to reconfirm and interact, even though it is grammatically incorrect. Speaking "some XXXX" means to me being able to communicate and express myself in mostly one particular way. Being fluent, I consider what I am in English. It's not my native language, but I can fluently speak and express myself in different ways. Knowing Gracias or Ni hao and claiming to speak "a little" Spanish or Chinese is like saying to play the piano a little but only being able to hammer Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in C-Major with one hand in the keys.

I’m Romanian and what that Roma (Gypsy) gentleman wanted to say was that the Gypsy language and the Romanian language are so different, that even the few Romanian words the Gypsies introduced as neologisms into their language in about 800-1000 years since they arrived in the Romanian territories, count under 100 words altogether… and the Roma/Gypsies cannot communicate with the Romanians in their Gypsy language at all, because the languages are totally different; what he wasn’t able to clarify because his English wasn’t perfect, was that the Romanian language it’s one half very similar to Italian and the other half it’s probably inherited from the Dacian ancestors of the Romanians, called “Daci” in Romanian language. Because he did not know how to say Dacians in English, he said Daci, in Romanian meaning “Dacians”. To the English speaking world that sounds like Dutch - which would create even a bigger confusion 😂😂😂 that’s why I’m trying to explain it here 😂 Long story short, he was trying to explain that the Gypsy language comes from India and it’s related to some Indian dialects not to the Romanian language.

The world speaking English is not actually the problem since majority of them don’t even use it on a daily basis, they just use it coz they know you’re a foreigner. The main problem is that majority of the people from English-speaking countries do not exert enough effort to go out of their Anglo-centric cultural sphere and experience other cultures and traditions, even if they’re just visiting. American tourists for example rarely immerse themselves with the cultures of the places they visit. Many of them stay in “Westernized” areas with fast food and stuff and they just expect you to speak English to them but they do not bother learning the languages of the places they go to.

I was born and bred in the north of England, unfortunately the chances of learning foreign languages for an Englishmann ist basically null. Most people aren't interested because "everyone speaks English", but for those who want to learn, the barriers are that when you go abroad most people want to speak to you in English. I then decided to move to Germany with 23 years old, since living there I have also learnt French and Spanish which I frequently use in daily life. I can definitely say, learning new languages opens your mind in so many ways, it is much better to learn a culture through language than just visiting places or reading about different cultures.....communicating with people in their native language takes understanding their culture to a new level, incredible!! Maybe one day we English will be forced to learn a new world language, would be good for us I think, actually!

I'm Scottish and only speak English (with a Scottish accent), and when I started travelling I found it very embarrassing (and typically British) that I could only speak English and in every other country I was amazed how well everyone spoke English. I made it my mission to at least try to learn to at least enough of each language to say hello, good morning/afternoon/evening, nice to meet you, how are you, I'm fine, no problem, see you tomorrow and a few other phrases. I can now speak most of these in around 15 languages and just a basic hello and thank you in many others. These include many of the main European languages and then Arabic, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Albanian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Polish. It's often just nice to be able to put a smile on people's faces when I speak a little of their language. I was a wedding photographer at a Tamil wedding in Germany four years ago and learned only one word of Tamil - Seringa = smile!! That was enough to do the job.

I learned French at school that was taught as the main foreign language although I would've loved for it to be English as I always watched movies in English as a child and thanks to the internet access at an early age I loved to explore and learn it better. I then moved to Italy as a teenager and went to a 5 years Institute where I obviously had to learn Italian, continued my French classes and started to learn Spanish as a foreign language for 2 years. I then moved to London where mostly speak English as my partner is from here. Obviously when you don't use other languages you do loose a bit thr fluency but I always try to read, listen to music, comedy and movies in the languages that I know so I don't completely forget them.

As we are taught from history, Romanian has a Dacic (even if it appears that very few words or influences remain from the ancient Dacic language) and Latin origin with some influence of Slavic languages, especially in the phonetics and some vocabulary, but not the grammatical structure that is almost, if not completely, from Latin. It is actually one of the best preserved latin grammar nowadays which is interesting to contemplate (the forms of the nouns change as they changed in latin, which makes it a bit difficult to learn). There is also some vocabulary from Turkish and Greek and what we can call influences (some of the words come from these languages, but mean a completely different thing, the fascinating world of etymology...) but only because of commercial (and other types of) connections along the centuries. A lot of French words entered recently in the modern language, as neologisms. French became fashionable in the 19th century, so that is how these words basically got into the language and also because of the similarity between the 2 (latin basis) they were easy to adopt and some of them stayed, which makes it easier to learn Romanian if you are French (or the other way around), or should I say, at least understand or try to speak some. From the most known Latin languages Romanian has the most similarities with Italian and Catalan (there are even identical words, not changed by a single letter in Catalan). So now you have it, an almost complete radiography of the Romanian language, at least from my knowledge and in the way it is considered by the majority of historians and linguists, until now.

In the past, I met 2-3 Romanian girls who were able to understand Spanish quite well only because they used to see latino soap operas (telenovelas) with their mothers... That fascinated me.

@@franciscomanuelteruelgutie6790 My best friend in secondary school was a Hungarian guy from Cluj (Romania, historically Kolozsvár in Hungary). Of course he was fluent not just in Hungarian (as myself) but also in Romanian. When our class started to learn Italian, we the others obviously had to start it from nothing, while he seemed to understand almost everything, at least in the first few lessons. Italian is so close to Romanian.

@@tinas6790 Hungarian language does not resemble any other languages. Talking about its ancient roots it is a Finno-Ugric language with an enormous Turkic influence during the great migration in the 9th century. The most ancient and simple words are similar to Finnish or Estonian, for example "hand" is in Hungarian kéz, in Finnish and maybe also in Estonian käsi. The most complicated words like e.g. törvény (law) derive from old Turkish. But we have no connection either to Germanic, Slavic or Latin languages, that's why maybe Hungarian is the most difficult language to learn for all Europeans 🙂

Wow what a great video. Having grown up in the USA I only spoke English and a bit of Spanish until I went abroad to Asia and Europe and realized I could learn languages. Now I can speak English, Thai, Polish, and bits of Indian languages and some Spanish/German/Russian. I used to speak Kannada in South India pretty well. Problem is if you don't use them they go away. Anyone can learn languages. Best way is to live where people don't speak another language. Sadly people born in English speaking countries often times don't feel a need to learn other languages. I met a girl in Ukraine that spoke 8 languages and she couldn't find a job. I met a minibus driver in Malaysia speaking 8 languages as well. Malaysians can speak so many languages its really impressive. Your videos show us that you never know about people's talents until you ask them. Well done :)

Yes, many people grew up without bi lingual parents some bi lingual parents didn’t teach their kids. We didn’t need a second language unless you traveled a thousand miles. Even then….. I know business travelers who travel all over the world, but only speak English. They go to Japan, China, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy, so which language do they study, when they are constantly changing countries? Consequently they learn a few sentences for each one. Rick Steves is an excellent example.
