“Mandela, while at Robben Island, had taught himself the Afrikaans language and studied Afrikaans culture-not just to literally understand what his captors were saying among themselves at the prison but to understand the people and their mind-set. At one point just before the birth of a free South Africa, Mandela entered into secret negotiations with the Afrikaans leader General Constand Viljoen. The latter, chief of the apartheid-era South African Defence Force and founder of the Afrikaner Volksfront group opposed to the dismantling of apartheid, commanded an Afrikaans militia of fifty to sixty thousand men. He was therefore in a position to doom South Africa’s impending first free election and probably trigger a civil war that would kill thousands. They met in Mandela’s house, with the general apparently anticipating tense negotiations across a conference table. Instead the smiling, cordial Mandela led him to the warm, homey living room, sat beside him on a comfy couch designed to soften the hardest of asses, and spoke to the man in Afrikaans, including small talk about sports, leaping up now and then to get the two of them tea and snacks. While the general did not quite wind up as Mandela’s soul mate, and it is impossible to assess the importance of any single thing that Mandela said or did, Viljoen was stunned by Mandela’s use of Afrikaans and warm, chatty familiarity with Afrikaans culture. An act of true respect for sacred values. “Mandela wins over all who meet him,” he later said. And over the course of the conversation, Mandela persuaded Viljoen to call off the armed insurrection and to instead run in the upcoming election as an opposition leader. When Mandela retired from his presidency in 1999, Viljoen gave a short, halting speech in Parliament praising Mandela . . . in the latter’s native language, Xhosa.” - Robert Sapolsky, _Behave_

In YORUBA more, it's way more specific as "african langage" (which doesn't exist, as you can see only in Nigeria there's like 500 langages, even if english is the traditionnal commercial and inter-ethnic langage, with Yoruba, Haoussa and Igbo as the most spread out langages, only for Nigeria). So it's like if a Hong-kongese came to you and started speaking like, polish or something. You would'nt say (except in racially defined america maybe) that "an asian speaks an european langage??". I know pan-africanism is trending again, specially in the USA and some parts of guinea gulf, but I think it has not to be an excuse to forget the huge diversity in African langages, which is not even a single of family, but dozens of groups of langages. And I fear the liberia/sierra leone type of afro-descendent going back in their roots to do the same as colonialists. Malcolm X is definetly a guy to read in that case.

I consider and educate myself on minority groups' cultures!" when really, they obviously don't. I'm only human, of course I will have thoughts and impressions on people when I see them. What you SHOULD be judging me on is the fact that I was able to correct myself after watching the video. Maybe you do want to get off this planet, but I am NOT the reason why. Next time, judge people not on their initial thoughts and impressions on others (like I said, human nature) but on their open-mindedness to change them. And don't throw the word "racist" around.

Many do it because they like the langauge but are too lazy to learn it or they just like to bond with others with just a few phrases. You dont have to learn a whole language. I'm a language leaner and speak basic Korean and a few phrases in other languages. And I've had nothing but positive reactions. The last women I said hello to in her langauge last week ended up exchanging numbers with me. Not everybody sits in this bitter mindset that you do. Some people are simply interested in other cultures and enjoy meeting new people. Also why are you calling yourself a black African woman living in America? Are you from Africa? Because you sound American through and through.

I believe the same applied here when he showed interest and kindness by learning the language. And I honestly don't feel like they were that "cold" compared to other workers i've seen. And to answer your question is he a better person? No. But if you don't understand why they respect him learning the language you need to take non-westernized look at the situation.

@@asjosays - So to the French critique (and as an rather poorly skilled non-native French speaker) it's mostly due to a combination of 1 or 2 factors. 1) Americans are generally TERRIBLY RUDE tourists. We assume everyone speaks English, and if they're having trouble understanding, we (generally) just slow down our words and speak louder. That's not helpful. 2) This is a problem in *most* large cities, and that's tourists asking for directions/help/recommendations from random passers-by on the street. That person has a meeting or delivery or job they're doing - they probably get asked "where's Central Park?" or "which way to the Eiffel Tower?" 37 times a day. Cut them some slack. Generally speaking, most encounters I've had with French speakers have been very positive (even if they do take some mild delight in ribbing you about poor grammar or wrong plurals - it's in jest [usually], and to be fair, most of them speak 2-3 languages). 🤷♂️

I just love the humble manner in which he approaches people, with an actual curiosity for the culture and such a respect for the language. And the people around him can just *feel that* and treat him the same way. They feel proud that this random white guy is not in Nigeria just to see the sights, like so many tourists treat local cultures like comodities, but to talk to the people and connect to them. And he's even aware of why Yoruba has a much smaller pool of people interested in learning as a second language! It's heartwarming.

As an amateur linguist very much like Ari who takes genuine pleasure in learning languages and watching people’s surprise when I speak them, I still don’t think this is true. On the contrary, I think progressing more and more towards a worldwide lingua franca is far more productive in that respect that patchwork polyglottism, and fortunately the internet has done a lot to make that so (with English being the lucky winner). I’m all for preserving these languages as cultural artifacts, and obviously I watch these lovely videos for entertainment, but as far as real communication goes, unification is the way IMO. Indeed the reason Ari is able to learn obscure languages like Navajo so quickly is that he has access to written resources and speakers with whom he also shares another language. Btw have you ever read any Nigerian literature? If so you probably started with Things Fall Apart, easily the most widely read African novel. When Achebe wrote it, even though he was writing about Igbo people in Igboland, he consciously chose to write it in English instead so that the story would be accessible to many more people. He was wildly successful, obviously, and helped draw more attention to the continent’s writing in general. Had he written it in Igbo, it wouldn’t have been readable (in the original, at least) by even most of the Nigerians in this video. So as much I appreciate languages, I see a huge upside to English’s de facto status as THE world language.

@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg Spanish is definitely the second language in the US, but to be fair 40-50 years ago it was hardly spoken in the country that was nearly a 100% english speaking, before people from all over the word came to live here. So there is a good reason for the "monolingual exceptionalism". The reason is the US was founded, built and developed by certain people that spoke a certain language, and until very recently those people made up for 90% of the population and their language for nearly 100% of the native speakers in the country. So as much as the US should accommodate the newcomers, the newcomers should also respect the culture of the country they came to live in. But of course today that culture is demonised and basic history ignored and distorted.

You’re able to understand anything when we do oral comprehension but you’re not able to speak it properly ! 😭 ». It seems stupid but I learned that it was something quite big because my father is in the same position as me (his parents were taking to him in Spanish but he was responding to them in French). Also some people tend to say that it’s because speaking and understanding are not manage by the same part of our brain so if, as a child, we are only used to listen cause no one asked us to respond our brain will be, like, fucked up when we will have to talk. It’s like our brain go « I don’t know what I’m supposed to do ! » when we have to speak the language. Idk if my long loooong message helped you to maybe understand more but I hope so \o/
