I love how Mexican people are really nice and humble. It’s nice to see the diversity of the country. Definitely a country with amazing people. I think many Mexicans would like to learn more languages, German and French are really popular.

It’s true that in Mexico is more common to learn English because of the nearness but I disagree with those that say that learning another languages is difficult in Mexico. I mean, nowadays there are a lot of languages schools, there’s so many apps tough. So if you’d like to learn some language, look for the way to learn it. Nothing is impossible and the fact that Mexico now is becoming very popular among the tourists, you can look for some chances to practice. The best advice that I can give to y’all who wants to practice a language is to show your city/town to those tourists, they always gonna like the fact of sightseeing a city with locals. 😊

It’s easier for Spanish speakers to learn French but for English speakers it’s easier to learn German. Both languages are related that’s why.

[@faithlesshound5621]

I would question that. A third to a half of the vocabulary of English came from French, so despite the difference of grammar it's easier for English speakers to learn French. Dutch, as a kind of Low German, is also easier for them than (High) German: and for Mexicans, Dutch-speakers are nearby in Surinam, Guyana and Sint Marten. But we learn foreign languages to read their literature at home, not to use them on holiday.

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.

Please don’t forget that Mexico is, in fact, multilingual. We have at least 50 active different native languages. I do understand that interviews tend to be centralized for the purposes of this video but does not reflect a city’s identity. 🖤 And for the public: not only hegemonic languages matter. Thanks.

[@osirisrobledo8425]

Well said.

[@trainerred6582]

These interviews DO reflect the identity of this city. Not a single Mexican said they spoke any native-American language!

En internet la mayoria de la media que consumo es en ingles y desde hace mucho tiempo que tambien pienso en ingles.
