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) ------

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.

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. ^^

[@nathanaelflock7469]

Anming! You're inspiring us so much. Please keep making these videos. Just when I feel frustrated with my progress learning Japanese, I see your love of people and remember it's not about love for languages that drives me. It's about loving people well. Learning their language is one of the greatest ways to love people of other cultures. You are also showing Asian nations that there are Americans who aren't arrogant, self-absorbed wackos. Thank you for being you! Side note: My daughters are learning a lot from you about diligence in study as well. Thanks for being a good role model for young girls ❤️ They love your videos!

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.

This is really wonderful. You seem to have the right attitude for learning difficult languages. I envy you! I taught English in Korea for 12 years, but never learned much more than the basic phrases I needed to survive. I really regret that. I really hated feeling stupid or making mistakes, and that kept me from trying and progressing. To learn languages well, you need to have no shame and a high "pain" threshold, or some incredible motivation to learn. I'm so proud of you for what you have accomplished!

[@sedghammer]

When you learn new languages you are forced to leave your comfort zone. It can turn your personality upside down! I learned German living in Germany and so I relate to this very much. I love seeing your travels, thanks for sharing!

[@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.

I find it puzzling why Korean is ranked as one of the hardest languages to learn. It's literally SO EASY! I speak fluent English and Italian from when I was young, learning Korean was a breeze.

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) ------

Another Scottish person here!🙂 I’ve literally just started learning Japanese, because I wanted to, and it’s pretty daunting, but I’m trying to pretend I’m a baby hearing it for the first time. The thing I’m struggling with is speaking Japanese with a Scottish accent. It’s almost like if you sound too authentically Japanese then you’re somehow being offensive.

[@TripleSomething]

@@JohnM... That's a load of rubbish, you only sound 'offensive' to uneducated outsiders who know nothing about learning a foreign language. Go for authenticity, the amount of opportunities, conversations and friendships that will open up to you will be worth it. Good luck.

Interesting to see your interaction with my fellow Malaysians at the end. As ethnic chinese in Malaysia, another important part of our identity is our dialects. It can point out where you are from in Malaysia based on whether you speak hokkien, cantonese, hakka, etc. Best part is the different styles of food that we all enjoy. The malay language is actually not difficult to learn.

[@kopxpert]

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

[@luvbit201]

What i can describe the difference between indonesian n malaysian is when indonesian and malaysian having a conversation, they using their own language, but they still understand each other. Yes, theres probably misunderstanding happen here and there, but thats not a big issue..

[@allencardoso6414]

That's exactly like portuguese and spanish! Both are similar gramatically, but very different when spoken. They can understand each other if they talk slowly though haha

[@yopiopoy]

di indonesia juga ada yang sama bahasanya seperti malaysia, yaitu bahasa melayu, karna masih satu rumpun khususnya di wilayah yg berdekatan dgn malaysia. indonesia itu luas, setiap daerah memiliki bahasanya masing-masing.

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
