Playing Dumb until I Suddenly Speak Fluently in Asian Languages

[@x808drifter]

@@ryotarot4422 Exactly. Alot of languages can be put into groups. And learning a single one of those makes learning the others a whole lot easier. English/French/German/Italian/Spanish/ETC is one. Japanese/Chinese/Korean/ETC is another. Same with the Polynesian languages. Hawaiian/Samoan/Maori/Fijian/ETC.

[@helenHTID]

@@x808drifter Yeah I think you are way off the mark lol Even though English was born out of a mix of old European languages, It's still very different! And English is actually one of the hardest languages to learn despite also being the most spoken language on earth - It's so popular because of the British empire. As a second language it's very difficult to fully grasp the complex grammar rules, pronunciation variations, and vast vocabulary.. Not to mention we have an American variation which adds to that.

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.

[@aaabbb-py5xd]

Lol, cool story, "bro". One word of Chinese from him, and we'll immediately recognize the accent as Tsing Tsang Americant. Don't ever use the word "fluent". Without 30 years, you're fluent in nothing, including English.

​​​@@aaabbb-py5xdWhat's the matter with you? Where in the comment do they mention the word "fluent"? Also you don't always need 30 years to become fluent in a language. There are people that spend 30 years speaking a language but they're not fluent, and there are people that spend 10 years or less learning and speaking a language that are fluent. It just depends on the person, methods and how much time they've spent immersing themselves in the language they're learning. Plus, you never really stop learning a language anyway. You always keep learning. Would you be able to guess from my comment whether I'm from an English-speaking country or not?

[@forestofthings]

I always see how people's hearts open up once you talk in their native language. How they become so much nicer and calmer and happy to speak with you once you're talking in their vernacular. I now teach my kids (they're 10 and 6) Italian and English (we speak Hebrew at home). I know Hebrew, Arabic, English and Italian. and a tiny bit of Spanish. I started learning French. I hope to know as many languages I will be able to. I love languages so much. They bring people together.

[@slayer8actual]

I speak English and German, and have become familiar with several other languages when I lived in those regions, but never became conversational in them. They were Arabic, Dari, Croatian and Pashto. I learned enough phrases to get by and do my job, but once the locals started talking at a hundred miles per hour, I was completely lost. Listening to people like you who can instantly transition seamlessly from one language to another and back again simply amazes me. I don't have any plans to ever learn an Asian language so I don't remember how I found your channel, (probably KZbin recommended vids) but once I heard you speaking, I was hooked because, like you, I think languages are just incredibly interesting and fun to learn.

[@littleme3597]

[@akinoshimo]

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。

[@OrientalPearl]

Thank you so much. It just takes a lot of practice and the right environment and you get used to switching back and forth.

[@doragonsureia7288]

I'm german and can instantly switch between english and german, but sometimes i only know a word in only one language and either i switch within the sentence (if a friend understands english) or i pause talking to remember or look it up... What is code switching? I would love to learn an asian language but i don't have the perseverance and disciplin to keep studying.

[@Yotanido]

@@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.

It really gets me pumped up to work harder at my Japanese lessons after watching your videos. 😁❤ After my first trip to Japan just before the pandemic hit the world I didn't know enough Japanese so I couldn't really talk to people. 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! 👍

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!

[@jimvasconcellos]

You have nothing to say? Just speaking another's language to them is a clear and strong statement of love for humanity. That is a lot to say!

I lived in west Africa as a kid for 2 yrs. I picked up part of the language. I worked on the Navajo reservation for 5 years and worked night shift with other non-Navajo. I picked up very little of the language. They laughed at me when I tried to speak Navajo. New sub.

My brother n law has his phd in the study of ancient languages. He can read Acadian / cuneiform text. Language is fascinating.

[@JEMCochran49]

You're always so entertaining.

[@dennislindqvist8443]

I am a subscriber as of today! Here in Europe it's rare for someone to study an Asian language, but I can clearly see what you are missing out on. In addition, there's no shortage of job opportunities if you possess a knowledge that few others have. But not everyone is as gifted with languages as this girl is.

I just love the style of your videos, you’re super friendly and so cool. Your editing is crisp and easy to follow. Huge fan ❤

your language learning skills are amazing. I spent time in Okinawa, Japan and South Korea and both their languages are hard to learn. Korean is really hard to learn. My wife and I been married 22yrs and I'm still in Pre-K. My wife is Korean. Our three daughters, when we lived in Korea for 5 years picked up Korean like nothing and all are Bi-lingual now in Korean and English. I love both countries.

Love these videos! I’ve always been so jealous of those who take to learning languages so well! Officially subscribed now. Keep it up! ✌🏼

Respect, and respect to the people that you blew their minds. They seemed very kind.

I have been with Pimsleur for less than a year now and am working on my first Mandarin Chinese

[@mostepotente5385]

I could seriously listen to you switch off between Japanese, Chinese, and Korean all day. Your language skills are amazing! What new language are you studying?

At 0:58 she is speaking Vietnamese.

And here I was just proud of myself in the airport this week, recognizing Chinese and Korean being spoken around me and being able to differentiate them 😅 I’ve got a long way to go!

[@OrientalPearl]

That’s awesome.

These people are so cheerful you can’t help but smile with them

Thanks for the videos. You are learning these languages for those of us who can't travel to these places.

Communication is a super power. As a dyslexic with short term memory issues, I simply struggle to order and retain new languages. So impressive. Go do good with your powers !

❤ so try learning an easy language similar to your mother tongue. It may take longer, but I'm certain you can do it. Besides, internet helps so much! I'm currently learning my 6th language, German, which I find THE hardest language in the world. So, keep in mind to retain from that 😂 Good luck!

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!
