This reminds me of a high school friend who studied all sorts of languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) in High School, he was from El Salvador and was living in the US, so add Spanish and English) and majored in Japanese at UCLA. We all lost contact with him after he graduated though. I imagine he went to Japan to escape family expectations of some sort. He hid a lot of stress, and I don't think it was from studying so many languages (successfully) at once.

you know what I enjoy most about these episodes? It's how fast you effortlessly switch between languages while having a good time, and you are such a lovely person. not exactly the same as code switching (my mother did that sometimes between German and English, as well as my family between English and Japanese ), but close. Korean and Vietnamese are significantly different from Japanese and Chinese (speaking and written). That's quite a challenge. I have a difficult time learning both Japanese and French and then maintaining some level of fluency. 日本語は覚えられるけどフランス語なら難しい。ドイツ語も。。。母はドイツ人だけどさ。本当にえらいですね! 5か国語を話せる。

@@doragonsureia7288 Technically, code switching is when you use multiple codes (languages or dialects) within one conversation. Anming is definitely doing that. What I think akinoshimo is referring to is switching codes mid-sentence. The funny part about this is, you might be doing it without even realising. I'm German, too, and speak English very well. I use more English in a day than I do German, truth be told. When I was at uni, speaking to a friend who also spoke English very well... apparently, we used such a mix of German and English that other people were unable to follow our conversation. I had no idea we were even doing that! As far as I was concerned, we were speaking German, with maybe the odd English word thrown in here and there, but not that it was that bad - but this was confirmed by multiple other people, so I guess I just have to believe it.

I did know about 200 words but you don't start up conversations with something random like that. 😋 I memorized some phrases I knew could be handy traveling in the country by myself for a month and yes, they broke the ice every time I needed to ask something. Starting with fluent English makes people clam up and hesitate, but if you start of in Japanese and ask them politely if they speak English there were never any problem to find a way to communicate. Even if their English was really poor. You never get tired of the appreciering smiles you get when you try speaking Japanese. One idea for a video maybe is asking Japanese people about their view on foreigners who at least try and those who don't bother and expect everyone to understand English. Keep up the good work! 👍

As a Vietnamese, im happy to see you trying to learn Vietnamese. I heard from foreigner that Vietnamese is a very hard langauge to learn and as a Vietnamese who returned from abroad, i also find learning vietnamese to be difficult task. I wish you luck on your learning journey

I enjoy your videos so much more than the other popular guy who tries to speak so many languages, but he stumbles over words. You carry on real conversations, and show the most interesting places. I subscribed. Hope it helps you make more videos!!

I have seen a couple of your videos before and found them great to watch! And now I have started learning Japanese for fun, I am just 2 weeks in and it is good to watch you speaking so fluently with people. I hope that I can speak as well as you one day with lots of practice!

Once you connect to people through their languages you find we are all the same. It's wonderful that you spend all the effort to learn those impossible languages!
