I'm from Mexico City, and I am fluent in four languages. While most Mexicans take English classes, they often struggle to speak it well due to limited opportunities for practice. However, in border states like Tamaulipas, Tijuana, and Ciudad Juarez, you will encounter a higher number of people who are fluent in English. In contrast, many Europeans effortlessly speak three or four languages because their countries are geographically close, granting them easy access to interactions with individuals who speak different languages.

For people from a German, or French speaking country: Many Mexicans actually have a genuine interest in learning German and French. But is hard to find a language education course with enough quality for learn it and accesible to the public. With French is a little bit easy because we have the "Alliance Française" and Mexicans can travel to Canada "somehow easy". (Mainly for student exchange) but not everyone have access to that opportunity. With German is hard, because even if you find a course (That is not always cheap). Unlike English (Which many people learn mainly because of work or because is the only language accessible to learn it) People like German or French because of the culture, or how it sounds. Other languages that people might be interested to learn, might be Japanese, Italian, and maybe Portuguese and Chinese. (And recently Korean)

[@drkduranrz]

I'm from Mexico City just like in the video and I´ve been studying Russian for three years! I´d talk to you in Russian ofc, but right now I'm typing with my computer and I don't have the Cyrillic alphabet, but I have it on my phone haha. Anyways I really LOVE Slavic languages, and right now I'm learning about DEEPICHASTIYA (Деепричастия) which is a very VERY difficult topic for me because we, as romance-languages speakers, don't have such thing nor GRAMMATICAL CASES, but still, I'm in love with the Russian pronunciation of words! I also love this Ukrainian singer who used to sing in Russian, her name is ЛУНА and she's an indie singer and her songs helped me a lot with studying Russian!

Welcome to Mexico City! Being a first year high school student (prepa 9!) in cdmx, i'm fluent in 8: spanish, mixtec (I'm from Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca though i'm not indigenous), english, italian, french, portuguese, mandarin chinese and japanese. And like a 25% arabic. If i could master one more it's gonna be nahuatl, the crazily beautiful language of the Aztecs (Mexicas). I'm really into different languages, or even more, the different but amazing cultures behind them. No joke and if one day i have money i'll travel around our world, surprising native people with their native language 😍😂 And i'm preparing for the TOEFL exam right now, 100% out of interest. Have done tpos and my score is around 108~110, still trying to improve Not being sure if it's good to say this here, but SEP should really enhance English education in México, considering how low our English level is compared to other countries, even other countries in latam. It shall have a big impact if the right efforts are really paid

Is interesting how in mexico city the people know a lot of english and foreign lenguages.. but if you go to oaxaca or an small city out of the capital you can find people that knows more than 3 lenguajes sometimes like foreign lenguages and mexican lenguages like Nahuatl, Mixteco and Zapotec..

How ALIVE those people are in comparison with US and Canada, just staggering ...

[@Zeyev]

You have a such a varied channel. Your visit to Ukraine was very compelling. And now you're back to getting a flavor of various countries by learning how multilingual random people are. Your skill in identifying people and getting them to cooperate is more than admirable. Comme toujours, je te remercie pour tes vidéos. 🐢 Une autre langue, uno idioma más? Tal vez hebreo o yiddish.

[@TheNewTravel]

Thanks Zeyez. The channel is definitely a bit all over the place in terms of tone, in that the Ukraine series was 100x more serious and intense than this series. But it took a long time to finish those videos as they're a story I cared deeply about and wanted to get right. So it just sort of crashed into other videos in terms of scheduling. But hopefully there's something for everybody one on this varied channel, haha ;)

[@jeanbolduc5818]

As a french speaker , i think people choose to learn a second language for 2 reasons : #1 : easy and pratical : english is very easy to learn and practical to travel and work # 2 : the sound of a language , as for exemple Italien and french sound sexy , very soft and calm. but it depends on the education of the person and the region ; german sounds masculine , mysterious and strong ( confident ) ; spanish sounds beautiful when the person speaks slowly , i find it difficult to hear when the person speaks fast like in Spain . Mexicans are very family oriented and good values ... most of them . As a french speaker i sometimes wonder if the person is angry while talking in arabic, russian, portuguese , indian ... for me these languages are not sexy

Bilingual here Dan besides english and spanish, I would like to learn Mandarin Chinese, its a hard language but if the majority of the people on earth speak that, its doable for a Mexican like me...and surprised to note there are no Náhuatl students, in 2011 I heard on the news that the federal school system in CDMX was going to include the teaching of Náhuatl, but I guess we tend to lean towards foreign lands and languages.🐢👍

[@TheNewTravel]

It would have been really cool to get some indigenous pre-hispanic languages in here. I know that in Southern states of Mexico (like Oaxaca) they are much more common

[@worldese]

As a Chinese person currently traveling in Mexico City, I find learning Spanish to be quite challenging. Spanish ( being one of the Romance languages) has unique conjugation and pronunciation of certain syllables, which definitely take some getting used to. But I am determined to learn it. To me, Spanish is so lively and rhythmic, and I really want to converse with the friendly food vendors who indulge me every day with godly delicious tacos. I came to Mexico for the weather (I go to school in Canada), but I have discovered that Mexico has so much more to offer than just nice weather. The food, art, history, and optimism of Mexicans are priceless, even though there are some social and economic issues that still need to be addressed (all societies have their own share of social malaises). Mandarin Chinese can be difficult, but some parts of it, like grammar, are actually quite intuitive. The ideographic scripts and tones may come off as a bit challenging, but Chinese people all speak Mandarin with some variation of accent, locally influenced. Even if you eliminate the tone or spell the words in Pinyin when communicating with Chinese, it won't be too much of an issue when you're still learning it. We always admire foreigners who are willing to make an effort to learn Mandarin Chinese. Who knows, maybe it could be fun! Good luck :)

[@maximipe]

Really cool to see governments making the effort to keep native languages alive, here in Argentina a lot of universities are staring to teach Guaraní, Mapuche and Quechua.

I’ve been in Mexico for six months and Mexico City for two of them. I leave Saturday to Ecuador. Bitter sweet. It looks like you filmed this before the constitution day because Zocalo was closed off. But I could be wrong! I would like to be fluent in Spanish but my other language I would want to be fluent in is German. I used to live in Germany for five years growing up and always thought it was a beautiful language.

Zocalo is often closed by the current fascist president who doesnt want people protesting there.

I love that the video was nice and relaxed, it didn't seem to intrude on people's personal space even though [as far as I know] the people there are very welcoming. Considering you're from Canada, you seemed to fit in [as far as I can tell] to the atmosphere very well. Amazing!!
