Do Mongolians speak English? - Street interview #1

[@StMiBll]

When I was in Mongolia in 2014, almost no one spoke English with exception of tour guides. It was amazing. I went through my visit speaking an amalgam of broken Mongolian, Russian, Kazakh, and even German. It was amazing! I feel English speakers get robbed of their language studies because so many countries will hear their accent and almost instantly transition to English. But Mongolia allowed, almost insisted I speak the local language. I loved it! Best country I’ve ever visited!

[@Zudddd]

I'm a Mongolian I speak English

[@miglia116]

When I was in Ulaanbaatar, although some people are just speaking a vocabulary or two, they are always so nice and keen to help :D

[@nathandq]

Great interviews. From a guy who only knows about 10 Mongolian words, even when you think your English level is only a two, it is a great help to any English speaker on the streets of LB. Happy Naadam😃

[@anibalcesarnishizk2205]

Ironically the most uncommunicated people in the world are the anglophones e.g.: Americans, Canadians, Australians and New Zealenders and British.The reason is they know their tongue became worldwide spoken as a second language, reason by which they never minded to study another one.

Yeah that makes total sense, mongolia used to be under control of Russia and at that time, it was the most common second language to learn.

Your channel popped up in my suggested video.... Nice job, with good perspective .... . I'm planning to take the Trans-Siberian Railway once this pandemic is over so visiting Mongolia along the way seems like a good fit ..... With that, you deserve another subscriber... Keep it up!!

[@centralscrutinizer76]

Where was all the English speakers when I was trying to hire translators ? It looks like a lot of younger people are learning english . Its funny i learned to read and speak some russian while I lived in Astana Kazakhstan. I went to Mongolia thinking it would be the same , I landed in the airport and was reading ,going what the hell does this mean . Trying to talk to a taxi driver in bad russian ,just to figure out even if my russian was good he couldn`t understand me. I had some great local coworkers with Himon construction that let me tag along and showed me the ropes of UB.

[@martinfoster5163]

Interesting. Self-rating isn't really a thing. Let us decide! In any case, these students (who didn't speak English) almost certainly speak better English than I speak Mongolian. My Mongolian is embarrassingly basic and I've lived here for 8 years. But my Mongolian wife is extremely fluent in English and her family speak English so there hasn't been much motivation to learn.

But the real question for me is where can I better learn Mongolian. I learned to an intermediate/advanced level many years ago when I was teaching conversational English in Ulaanbaatar. But now I don't have anyone to talk to and have trouble finding much in the way of Mongolian things to listen to and watch.

Speaking English is the KEY to the whole World, not just for business and information but also friendship. I am a Czech, and although I have a college degree and many different skills, it's my knowledge of English that made me successful. Even here on KZbin, 95% of all the videos are in English. Vast majority of the internet is in English, and almost all international business is conducted in English. This fact will not change even after the USA collapses, just like the Latin language was used for centuries after imperial Rome collapsed.

[@markemerson8399]

It's surprising that children are not being educated in Mongolian, Russian and Chinese. If the children want to study Buddhism it might be useful for them to learn Tibetan as Tibet previously had very strong Buddhist links with Mongolia. I'm not really sure what the current religion is, maybe materialism?

[@pragueexpat5106]

There is no reason to learn Chinese, as for Russian, Mongolia is no longer a satellite state of USSR since USSR doesn't exist anymore. So it makes sense to choose English.

[@maraluciaduclosduclos7496]

I do not know why is used cirilic letters If the language has other kind of writing. I love this country. Brazil and Mongólia together!!!

Cyrilic letters are a kind of heritage..since Mongolia was a communist country protected by the Soviet Union before 1991...that is why many mongol people are fluent in russian...
