I use to live in a small village, my now ex wife is Japanese and have two boys who went to school so i was treated like part of the families. The village actually consisted of two families with a lot of members from small children right up to great grand parents. I was basically the only foreigner so that made the town quite famous.i miss that village life because everyone knows each other.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) ------

Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) ------

10:43 Just for your info, yes Malay language & Indonesian language are different (grammatically especially) but also very similar, mostly vocabulary wise. But when Malaysians & Indonesians speak with each other, both parties will be very considerate and try to speak using words or at a speed so that both sides can understand each other (our written/standard language are a lot more similar than our spoken language). For example, I'm Malaysian but when I speak to Indonesians, I won't speak the same way I do with Malaysians. Same thing vice-versa. Indonesians know if they speak "normally" to me like they do with their compatriots, I will find it hard to keep up. So both parties will find a middle ground. We can do that because we are very familiar and aware of each others' language. The truth is if u put a random Indonesian & Malaysian in a room, they will have very little issue communicating and understanding each other. Best example I can give u, I would say it's kinda like Spanish & Portuguese but way way more similar

I heard similar story a long time ago, i just can't remember where i heard it, whether from my friend or from youtube video. A foreigner wish to learn malay and he coincidentally met one malaysian in his country. As they chatting, he had mention that he wants to learn malay language, she was surprise and asking why. She said,its useless..

[@kopxpert]

@@luvbit201 It's "useless" cause english is widely spoken in Malaysia and it's officially the country's 2nd language. When u come here, u don't really need to use Malay. Pretty much everything is written in english (signboards, ticketing/vending machines, atm etc). If u want to live here, all u need is english as opposed to Japan for example, it's hard to get by there with only english therefore japanese is not "useless". However japanese is only spoken in one country while u can use malay in Indonesia, Singapore (lots of local malays there), Brunei & some parts in southern Thailand

[@mikamika2011]

Omg, he's so confident and handsome! 💜👏🏽👏🏽 @4:00 The way he came to hold a conversation with no hesitation and genuinely seemed interested! He's definitely giving me leader vibes, bravo young man!! 🥰

[@karisnoel16]

This motivates me a lot, I’m currently trying to learn French, Italian, and Korean!

[@anlslfyw7613]

Im always amaze to see people who can speak different languages

[@KelsonBurnsSenior]

Incredible language knowledge and I LOVE your laugh. Deep and authentic...

[@rorozorokisser]

you're living my dream!!! i majored in east asia studies in college and studied korean, these days i'm starting to self teach japanese and chinese i can't wait to be as fluent as you

[@OrientalPearl]

Wow, that’s so cool Rachel. We have a lot in common.

[@stephanieallangarman5598]

Anming I’m so proud of your diversity in languages. You’re S. KOREN pronunciation is improving. Keep making friends by approaching others and speaking their language seems to demonstrate friendship and respect. Have lots of fun and great adventures in S.KOREA. Please show us more of these outside clips. Stay Blessed, Positive and Encouraged. 🙋🏻‍♀️🙏🏽❤️

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you so much Stephanie. I’m looking forward to improving more this year.

[@shemibra1744]

Ur literally so SWEET n KIND🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@SamWheat-x3c]

You and your husband are absolutely amazing! I've been learning Spanish and Portuguese, but I'm thinking about taking up Chinese and Japanese. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!

[@han_pritcher]

These sorts of videos are really great. It's wonderful to see how much friendlier people seem to become when they realise you can speak their language. Imagine a world where everyone could do that; I reckon there'd be far fewer conflicts.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you so much Han. I’m really glad you like these videos.

[@theultrawarrior7448]

Be blessed, sister in spirit; From a bilingual Mexican brother, learning multiple languages. You are appreciated.

[@birdie7910]

0:35 this made me so happy. The way they were so happy lol I love it

[@1c2h3e4u5n6g]

You’re a rock star for learning all these Asian languages 👍✨ Well done !!

[@parkjjj0906]

The most thing I'm impressed about is that~~how did you distinguish chinese, from japanese to korean people. You always used the right language when talking with them. ^^

[@jimmydandy9364]

Your channel is gold - you definitely deserve MILLIONS of subscribers, I don't get it, speaking multiple languages, and very difficult ones, this is amazing, I hope you get your millionth sub soon or even better several millions !

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you so much. Getting close to 1 million now. Maybe we’ll get there by the end of the year.

[@NewYorksFinest]

It's always a good day. When you upload! Thanks ad always, for bringing us along for the ride. 🙏🏽😊 It's so nice to see you learning Korean too! Over the past few years. I've really grown to love all 3 languages, and you speak all 3 of them so nicely. Your Korean is coming along nicely.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you Jeremy. More videos from Korea coming very soon!

[@josephleannais4823]

I am so envious of you and your command of so many languages!! You help to bring our World together!!👍😀😘❤️

[@susanspence3029]

Your so amazing. I love that you put yourself out there and really experience the country.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you Susan! I really appreciate that.

[@magic_hotel]

Hey Anming. I always enjoy how easily you interact with people from all backgrounds. Show us a little more of Seoul why don'tcha? You need to be on our screens more often!

[@OrientalPearl]

Don’t worry. There are more videos from Korea coming soon.

[@mimikarenbryant7325]

I was delighted to stumble upon your vlogs!

[@TitoBobbyPh]

I love your channel… I enjoy people’s reaction… the world needs to be more like this always ❤

[@Anobody-v3k]

Congratulations on your 30 day challenge... you're the best at what you do ❤

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you Brian. I really learned a lot.

[@MuhammadAdnan-s8h6q]

Your laughter and smile is soo beautiful. Stay blessed.

[@solitudeguard5688]

Hey Pearl, I have been watching you for a long time now and I would just like to say thank you for each heartwarming upload. Your kindness and respect for others is infectious and never ceases to make me smile. I hope you and the hubby are well, sending warm regards from England. 🍁

[@bbibbibu]

i hope you enjoyed your stay in korea! your korean doesn’t sound bad either it’s so impressive all the languages you know

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you! I’m working hard at it. I’m going to make a lot of progress this year.

[@bbibbibu]

@@OrientalPearl i look forward to seeing more korean videos in the future! ~ ^.^

[@DrowsyWRLD]

one thing I always get reminded of while seeing such videos, speaking multiply languages is really the coolest and most impressive thing ever

[@ToreHansen]

Im impressedhwo much you have learned and still going hard at it! Enjoy the stay!

[@anugerahbali.ciptadamai]

You don't only speak the verbal language, but you also mastered the non verbals, including the attitude. Amazing!

[@KPOPLAIR]

ur channel is fun to watch from time to time when i’m bored i’ve been studying japanese for abit i can say some sentences but i struggle the most with korean for some reason 😅😅 but rn i’m putting my all in japanese

[@irfanj]

This is why this is the one of the best multi language channel. You not only learned the language but the culture itself. I really hate people that learn languages just to get the views but doesn't even have a clue about the cultures.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you so much. I’m glad that you love this channel.

[@ahall9839]

"One of the best multi language channel" Where the video immediately starts with people shocked at her speaking basically gibberish, in a video titled "What happens when I speak fluently"

[@jamisonfawkes8537]

i took french from grades 4-8 and japanese from 9-12. it’s been ten years since i graduated high school and i would love nothing more than to get back into learning these languages and many more. i still remember a decent amount of what i’ve learned. i may have failed math multiple times, but languages have always been kind of natural to me. you’re a true inspiration, thank you

[@asmratnight8253]

La meilleure des chances à vous alors!

[@denise8791]

I hope you started learning again! You have a good base , you will do well😊

[@vandalorianvandalorian4769]

When I lived in Portugal for almost two years, the locals would be amazed at my fluency in Portuguese. Same with Spanish, which I became fluent in speaking after about two months of studying and speaking. The key to learning languages is speaking it everyday!

[@MrAmor-wh1rm]

This is it!!! A video with equal amounts of the big 3 asian languages. By far my favorite language channel. We seriously cant wait for more korean content to come out.

[@OrientalPearl]

I’m honored to be your favorite channel!

[@IsmayaMelasrana]

2:45 American buy a japanese food at Chinatown in Korea . That's a trip for sure

[@OrientalPearl]

Ha ha, it’s so random.

[@Joshua19189]

I believe any culture will appreciate a forgiener speaking their language fluently/semi-fluently. Even if it's just a few words. It means someone took their time to learn a different language or picked up on some words. Very wholesome.

[@janm.6840]

I was so happy to see your new upload!! As a 50-year-old half Korean and not speaking or hearing Korean often anymore, the brain farts are real when I'm having to speak it again. I'm looking forward to more from your time in Korea.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thanks Jan. You can learn Korean with me!

[@つロつ]

Your social skills is amazing.

[@kirkhensley5870]

This is the real key to peace. I learned how to say "Thank you" and "You're welcome" in Arabic through local friends. An unsuspecting teenager stepped away from a seat on a trolley and offered it to me. The pronunciation is "shoo-tkrahn". Kid was so excited he defaulted to English and yelled "Welcome!!!!!" And forgot to say "ah-fhuan". It's a pain, but knowing in this way is power...this power can become peace.

[@kanealoha]

This video was so beautiful - I enjoyed watching it after work and it soothed my heart. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you so much. I’m really glad that it made your day a little better.

[@ntrg3248]

Tbh i kinda want to learn korean since ive been learning Japanese for 2.5 years and its been awesome. I watch a lot of art videos on KZbin and ive seen a lot of korean art videos, and listening to their voices it sounds like a really aesthetically pleasing language, plus i like the way the text looks. Ive never listened to kpop or watched kdramas but if i start learning, what better way to get into it? Plus, speaking it to a native puts a smile on their face, and you cant complain about that

[@OrientalPearl]

Korean is much easier to learn if you already know Japanese. You’ll pick it up fast.

[@oh-noe]

I also learnt Japanese for 2.5 years then I started searching for another language as well. Choice was between Korean and mandarin, eventually I chose mandarin but I’m planning on picking up Korean soon as well. I have already learnt Hangul because it’s one of my favourite scripts so I’m just missing everything else in the language lol

[@tpmcginnis]

I love this. Everyone is so friendly.

[@AlicePearlJam]

I’m convinced your part of the brain that controls language is so much more advanced than that of the average person like me. To be able to speak and understand Korean in such a short time is really remarkable. Safe travels.

[@OrientalPearl]

Ha ha, I just put a lot of time into learning everyday, that’s all.

[@Holty2k6]

you can not help but smile when you watch your videos they are so amazing and you are a wonderful person

[@OrientalPearl]

I’m so glad that these videos make you smile.

[@daleenwucherpfennig9334]

Is it terrible that I am entirely jealous of your skills? Love this!❤

[@thinktankdonahue]

I think as Americans we take for granted the special feeling of a foreigner adopting and appreciating your culture.

[@yaemiko2092]

I love seeing you speak so many languages in a different country, aspires me to learn and study harder

[@verdellellis4043]

I always wanted to travel to Seoul Korea and China, all foreigners learn the Asia traditions and language before going abroad. It's awesome. People can learn from each other.

[@nancyharabedian7293]

That's so cool that you know the language so well and can communicate with others.

[@breezeh1127]

I have a feeling that when you said "they speak a little in Indonesia" and they said it's difficult for them to understand tho...that maybe it's like the difference between high and low German. My German friend speaks high German and works in a hospital where most speak low German and they can not understand her. Great video! So proud of your studies!!❤❤

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you Breeze. I work on Korean harder in these last 30 days than any language I’ve ever studied.

[@sarahboyd340]

Nevermind how impressive your language skills are, its just a joy to watch you intwract with others - everyone ia so friendly and kind and accepting of one another

[@michaelsmusicinstruments9980]

The smiles of people when you speak their language is the best reward for all the hard work of learning a new language. ❤

[@OrientalPearl]

I agree with you!

[@triplehearts914]

this is so cool and inspiring to see! I love videos of people doing stuff like this, It makes me want to start learning another language so bad.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you! I hope you start your language learning journey today. What language do you want to study?

[@erinhammel8177]

She’s a sweetheart. So impressed w her languages!!! Struggling w Spanish myself!

[@emperror85]

I just stumbled upon this. Really impressive! Your Mandarin is not only fluent, but there's also minimal foreign accent! I think your Mandarin could definitely pass as a native Chinese, possibly colored by some Chinese accent I can't really place (not that I'm very good at that). I personally have the awkward curse of being born in Beijing and staying in China for long enough to sound like a local, pronunciation-wise (including the pirate sound with all the typical Beijing -errrr-ending), but moved from China early enough that I sound like a small kid. I speak relatively slowly, use simple words, and don't know slang or curse words.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you so long Richard. I hope you subscribe and enjoy more videos. I have lots of videos talking to Chinese people.
