im really amazed at how good you are at interacting with the natives, videos like this gives me big motivation to learn other languages too

[@RyanHaleYT]

Let's goooo!

[@eliasreverts4723]

​@@RyanHaleYTI also want to learn japanese and other languages (im Swedish) but I will soon start school and sadly wont have much time for that

[@wanisaajid8556]

​@@RyanHaleYTRyan which app do you use to learn languages

[@cheetahprintenthusiast]

⁠@@eliasreverts4723 omg that’s funny. swedish is a language that i’m learning and watching ryan’s videos motivates me lol

[@MarcAlrik]

​@@eliasreverts4723I'm learning swedish!

[@apryctic]

its quite amazing how a person like u is able to speak multiple languages making travelling 10x more fun and interactable, keep up the videos king

[@ThatPigeon00]

yea the fact that he can speak like 5 languages other than english pretty well at such a young age is amazing to me

[@mark72141]

Multiple languages but he has learned Filipino language yet which is more popular and more spoken in the world than Indonesian.

[@jamescheddar4896]

ehhh in about 50 years everyone will be internet multilingual so that will be interesting

[@rexgiraffe8297]

thats a polygot does

[@MattBee2k2]

Bro this was amazing after only having seen your omegle videos. You're charisma and joking with the locals so naturally brings out an interesting side you don't necessarily see in others videos.

[@shanemad1640]

Indonesians are really wonderful people . I've been to Samarang .

[@itzguy_t]

Absolutely love the interactions you have with people, especially switching it up with the languages. Being bilingual or in your case multilingual really opens up opportunities & the peoples faces when you converse in their language is a joy. Keep up the great work. Love your videos.👍🏻

[@stephdad721]

Bonjour Ryan, pour barrack Obama il était avec moi à l'école française en Indonésie à Djakarta fin des années 60(vers 1969/70)😅. Sinon je suis né en Indonésie de parents Français et j'ai vécu 13 ans là-bas, je parlais couramment mais maintenant j'ai perdu beaucoup de mots mais j'adore t'entendre parler et les mots me reviennent en tête. Pour finir à 2:32 un chat apparaît en bas à droite, c'est un chat hollandais qui à la particularité d'avoir un petit bout de queue, j'en avais un étant enfant😢. Merci encore tes vidéos sont géniales ❤ Salamat malam Bro👋

[@tenkial]

Just started learning Indonesian again and this video is so helpful for knowing common interaction words! Thank you Ryan, take my subscription.

[@britturk123]

The older women are so wonderfully funny at winding Ryan up.

[@cindylu607]

Right on! You make solo travel look awesome, given you have friends there, but still, so inspiring! 😃You just make people smile wherever you go.

[@aty17088]

Makasi abang Riyan udah berkunjung ke negara kami. Semoga perjalannya lancar dan mendapat banyak pengalaman menyenangkan.

[@chiefpanda7040]

Great video as always Linguini I know it must be so rewarding to be able to connect with new people when it was once impossible!

[@notchipotle]

damn, you're really good lol I met a lot of foreigners who live here for years and still talk like a toddler

[@sal_strazzullo]

Learning languages is all about leaving the comfort zone, many people, especially older people, find it more difficult to leave their comfort zone

[@davidenatoh359]

So?

[@michaelferik8060]

Ryan, this Indonesian travel vlog series has been awesome! May I ask what may be next on your bucket list?

[@RyanHaleYT]

Honestly, I'm not quite sure yet...

[@MR7-EDIT]

@@RyanHaleYT i would love to see you interacting with Chinese people 🙏

[@WilliamKwek]

Indonesian chinese don't usually speaks mandarin, we use hokkian, teochew, hakka, cantonese, and more

[@xenxx1192]

Same in Thailand and i think most of SEA. I'm third gen teochew but i cant speak teochew(most thai-chinese cant speak chinese)

[@sal_strazzullo]

I think it's OK that it's that way, because Mandarin is the language of Mainland China & Taiwan just for political reasons, but the people of China have always had many different languages

[@dennies07]

Ryan memang jenius 2 minggu beljar indonesia sudah bisa native indonesia, tidak terlihat seperti orang baru belajar bahasa indonesia

[@xxchris]

Holy shit it’s the guy from Ratatouille

[@Emogirl2009]

Ryan, I love your videos. And your videos always give me motivation to keep learning languages.

[@MiguelVargas-sq8qw]

Great videos Ryam. You're killing it.😀

[@lukeschmidt7872]

Aw man, I had no idea you were in Indonesia! I was just there only last month! :( You have great comprehension of Indonesian I'm really jealous! I always struggle with comprehension specifically. Especially when native speakers are speaking quickly and informally...and behind masks, its super tough xD

[@GayDrunkGaymers]

Loving your videos! I would love to learn more languages like you. You’re an amazing influence. Also what kind of camera do you use?

[@onepiecepiano5907]

I love your video......Aster i started watching your videos i kinda learned a bit of Chinese😅........Thanks for your had work Ryan ❤

[@RyanHaleYT]

That's awesome :D

[@TheNamesRyan]

This is the content that's gonna make you blow up to a million subs. Keep it going from Ryan to Ryan 😅

[@jameshanlon2998]

Not much Mandarin action going on, but Ryan... your Indonesia videos are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

[@RyanHaleYT]

Honestly, I was quite surprised that there were VERY few Mandarin speakers for it being Chinatown. I was there for quite a few hours and tried talking to many different people as well. Hmm...

[@WilliamKwek]

@@RyanHaleYTChinese Indonesian don't usually speak mandarin, we are more fluent in some chinese dialects such as hokkien, teochew, hakka, khek, or even cantonese. I hear some of the ladies in the video where you buy some choco pie speaking in chinese dialect

[@serbaserbi6004]

@@RyanHaleYT depent on location. If in java rare they cant speak chinese. But if you come here in medan, many of them can speak chinèse

[@arisirawan9832]

​@@RyanHaleYT,That's Indonesia, no matter how many ethnicities you have in Indonesia, you have to be proud to speak Indonesian, and it's in Indonesia where there are differences

[@Nick-dr4ec]

​@@RyanHaleYTthere aren't many Chinese people in Indonesia Chinatown it seems, only one grandma that approached you is Chinese

[@erickhide4440]

Ryan i am wondering if you do this trip with the money provided from YT. If Yes, this is REALY GREAT!! Because this would inspire other people to learn languages and travel the world! By the way i am a big FAN and also a polyglot too!! I speak portuguese, japanese, english, spanish and italian!! CONGRATS FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL CHANNEL

[@normiewoo787]

You looked like you were really enjoying yourself. I love these travel videos.

[@alohamorski8691]

Just to be fair to you, when someone says: kamu PINTER bahasa indonesia, the translation is not: your indonesian is good. It's: you speak indonesian very well! 👏🏻

[@vincegaming371]

Keep up the videos bro❤️

[@ferytjandi2115]

Hallo Ryan,finally you are landed in our country.welcome and enjoy your adventure in Indonesia.

[@vivirifani7460]

Eh iya udah lama engga denger Ryan ngomong Mandarin ya omg. Seneng banget akhirnya disini bisa denger lagi! Idk why it sounds satisfying for me listening to you speaking in Chinese. That's really cool! Semangat terus ngontennya Ryan! :)

[@user-kq1zcwh8]

You really know many languages, wow. I really impressed. You did really hard work. Good good

[@DitryDee]

Great series

[@user-hd6pb6no4d]

I wish I knew how to learn languages. I'm 43 and my mom's side is Colombian and speak Spanish but mainly English after moving to the US when they were kids. My ldr gf is in the Philippines. I'd love to one day speak Spanish (always have) and Tagalog now. Thanks for the videos ✌️

[@Elixirea109]

I wish I could learn a language as fast as you do I’m in the process of learning Korean for idk how long I inspire me so much hope you notice me!

[@cubobanget]

omg you're staying at cikini? i just went there a few days ago and i'm probably gonna go back there again

[@ryanmartin1868]

Hopefully, next time you come to indonesia or play ometv. you collab with our real indonesian polyglot from Surabaya, Indonesia. His name is Sonny (sonnywills is his you tube channel), an indonesian polyglot who is able to speak 8 languages including bahasa. thx for reading my comments, regards 😁🙏🙏🙏

[@yusufprabowo.]

You must visit to PIK2 chinatown that is modern place in jakarta..more clean n beautyfull than pancoran

[@kirbyhans5261]

Loved this video, i want to go there SO bad . 😊

[@kingjulian1202]

Normally i don't like the kinda guy speaks asian language and shocks the native kinda videos, but I really liked your video, you're just good at talking to people in a normal manner

[@sal_strazzullo]

it depends on the people, some people act all shocked for the camera, others just talk to you like normal people

[@zzeroemissions3364]

I recommend you go to Chinatown on Pik 2 Jakarta, because there are more interesting spots for your vlog videos

[@altezzaandre9651]

Polyglot gak di ragukan lagi, sampai si ryan logat nya lancar banget 😁

Ryan, August 17th is a special day in Indonesia

[@luminoussun]

Indonesean people seem so friendly. U get that most of these people sell things so they are good at communicating with strangers. But it seems like normal people also are friendly too

[@MyEnglishChannel]

This is what makes Indonesian people different from western people. Indonesians are mostly friendly, they like greeting foreigners , starting up small talks 😊 and most of all, their mutual aids manner stand out the most 👍👍

[@heartyfisher]

Nice video Awesome Language skills !! ... chopsticks skills need some work though.. ;-)

amazing

[@alanguages]

Go to Chinatown in Manila. They not only speak Tagalog, but Chinese. The Chinese there is not Mandarin, nor Cantonese. It will be Hokkien/ Fukienese. Which is the same as Taiwanese.

[@nangthongpinit6579]

You are amazing.

[@seancolorado]

Haha asking 'can I cross here' in Jakarta

[@muhammadabyzard7970]

Well, if you're going for that Mandarin experience - I'll suggest that you should go to Medan and Pontianak instead for it. Well, since the Chinese of Jakarta and the locals who live inside the Chinese Quarter seems to speak Indonesian more than Chinese due to history. Quite a bloody one, really - IIRC.

if you had a hot plate in your hotel room, you could buy some fish!!

Come to Nepal once.

[@singgihcahyono]

Wow bahasa Indonesianya Mas Rian sudah lancar...

[@tranqjl]

Early on the lady made a point about speaking Indo and not Mandarin. No doubt this harks back to the military dictatorships of Suharto and Sukarno when the chinese language was banned, because the Chinese backed the communist party in the civil war and they lost. When I went to Jakarta in 1991 it was probably the only country in SE Asia where poor chinese were common. I went to visit an English friend who lived there and on the plane in I was asked if I had any chinese books because they were banned. We went to chinatown to see a chinese friend of his. Chinatown was not even on the maps of Jakarta, like it didn't exist. We were the only two europeans I saw all night. Fascinating times.

[@fronskedeboer]

I heard two Dutch words. Trakteren and handdoek :) Not proud of my country's history but nice to hear so many friendly people.

[@Ramazan-Selmani]

Yes Handuk (Handdoek) means towel, Traktiran (Trakteren) means Treat or I paid for you, the both words come from dutch word

[@miguimau]

So friendly people!

[@addaeus11]

What place in Albany are you talking about?

[@freja3187]

i would love to see a colaboration video with xiaomanyc

[@frazz23]

No ice cubes!!! I only had stomach issues once and it was from the ice in my drink.

[@jusufagung]

Brondong is the Javanese word of pop-corn and fried corn (similar to pop-corn but it is coated and fried). However, "brondong" also means a young boy.
