Go to expressvpn.com/xiaomanyc and find out how you can get 3 months of ExpressVPN free! I’ve been fascinated with the Tamil language ever since I learned that it is one of the world’s oldest languages still in use. Spoken in both India and Sri Lanka it’s actually quite rare in America, but I was able to find some restaurants in and around New York City that are run by Tamil speakers and here’s what happened when I tried ordering in this ancient and beautiful but extremely challenging language. Definitely check these restaurants out by the way as they make some AMAZING food.

She was so happy and she truly loves feeding anyone that walks into the door. Thank you for taking the time to learn about different cultures and speaking the language.

@@rikvis What makes you think that they don't speak or know English? Friend from school's grandfather refused to leave France with out his wife and she wanted to be buried in France. When she dies, The grandfather moved in with his family. The 1st thing he did was sighing up for Language classes to learn English. Try as he could he just couldn't learn to speak English but he could read and write English just as much as the other person. He carried around a notebook so he could have a conversation with people. He was a very sweet man. So just because they don't speak English doesn't mean they can't speak or understand the language. I can read French more than I can speak it.

It is a beautiful channel for sure. But to erect barriers to any culture, to prevent others from embracing the aspects of that culture, is the very definition of bigotry and prejudice. Ari has a gift for language, and he displays respect for not only the language but the cultural foundations of each. THAT is what makes his attitude so wonderful. I cannot imagine that anyone would think that "appropriation", and if one does it only serves to show weak-mindedness.

Definitely agree, and I feel like I've been seeing barriers getting larger and larger in the west as time goes on. Too many people are worried about who's culture is who's like... everybody on Earth is 100% human. Culture grows and changes, especially now that we have so much potential to connect with people who are different from us or come from somewhere else. I don't see black culture and Indian culture or whatever. Its all human culture to me, and people who are proud of stuff such as their skin color or heritage - without every having done anything at all - are morons. Why be so proud of something you had no control of? And why get angry when people try to share it? People love to share their culture because its a big part of who they are and saying they can't share it with someone because they're different is pretty prejudice.

Coming from a native speaker, I can say Tamil is NOT an easy language to learn! For westerners, a North Indian language like Hindi is much easier since it is Indo European and shares a lot of similar rules with Romance languages. Tamil (and other Dravidian languages) are just completely different in every way, from sentence structure to grammar to tone, etc.

One thing that always annoys me a bit when English speakers are trying to learn a foreign language is that native speakers always tell the English speakers that their accent isn't correct. Of course it isn't correct, and probably never ever will be... Like, on the flip side, non-native English speakers always have an "incorrect" accent when they speak English. For example, Indian people speak English with an Indian accent, Chinese speak with a Chinese accent, French speak with a French accent and so on. I don't ever hear English speakers telling them that their English/American accent isn't correct. Of course it won't be correct. The only way to have a correct accent is to speak a language for a VERY long time, and even then most people can't speak in a native sounding accent unless it's a language that they started learning when they were really young. I just think telling someone learning a new language that their accent isn't correct is like telling somebody that the sky is blue. An English speaker speaking a foreign language will speak it with an English/American accent just like a non-native speaker will speak English with whatever their native accent is. It's just how it works...

​@@xtraspecialj The issue is English speakers seem to maul other language pronunciations way worse than others speakers do, probably due to the nature of the English language being a mess in that regard, so the distorted pronunciation (i.e. English being a strongly non-phonetic language) carries over to all languages they try to speak. The same goes the other way around, when phonetic-language-speakers try to battle with English being so incoherent and unpredictable. An English speaker will be locked in that mode and find it hard to switch out of it, a foreigner will find it tough to tune into it. Tamil being a phonetic language, is hard to mispronounce; literally just read what you see! But the distorsion carry over.

As a Tamil srilankan Canadian, watching this melts my heart. We keep Tamil going in our family. My daughter is into learning culture, even she is born here. I love to call myself, Srilankan Tamil Canadian. Amazing video, and I love how you flawlessly saying some words without any problem. Also I'm surprised that some people, when they immigrated to another country, don't keep the language with children, not realizing that the children won't know the value of Tamil language.

@@mightysun89 you know what's the irony here. I'm 35 so you know the timelines i talk about. I'm from a secondary town in Tamil Nadu so when i was in school, teachers used to encourage us to talk in English else it would be difficult for us to pickup spoken English. Sadly, we didn't pick up the language up until end of college. We only speak in Thamizh at home but my nephew picked up fluent spoken English just from school and cartoons 😂. It's the other way around now.

Totally agree. My local elementary school used to have an event every year for the fourth graders to put on a sort of "fair" celebrating their heritage. Every kid represented a country of their heritage, and the country groups would get together ahead of time with parents and grandparents to plan decor, authentic food, culturally relevant activities, etc., to showcase in the fair. For two school days, the kids (and some first-generation parents and grandparents) set up in a gathering space (basically the size of a gym), and the students from other grades would come in to visit the different countries, including a lot of native speakers. It's a fairly small school, but the typical representation the years I was involved was about 20-25 countries across 4-6 continents. It was a long-standing tradition for the school that was scaled back and eventually came to an end over the course of the 2010s. Ultimately, the issues that ended it were complaints about the existence of an Israel exhibit, the allowance of European exhibits (even though Europe wasn't even the most-represented continent), and, eventually, allegations that having the children try the food, play games, do activities like sari-wrapping, etc., was cultural appropriation. I was heartbroken. The school was part of a community that celebrated cultural heritage, but never supported enclaves or exclusion because _everyone_ was American (and many had worked very hard to be). It really was the best of what you imagine multi-culturalism to be.
