I enjoy his videos because it gentily removes the bricks from the cultural barrier wall and shows that with a little work on all sides- people can see past language and realize they are all the same, like similar things and long to connect. I grew up in this area (few min walk away) and it changed how I look at cultures. Really nice job!

It’s actually not that difficult to learn languages really quickly, especially if you confine yourself to a limited number of contexts, like buying stuff in shops. The real challenge is to remember what you’ve learnt and build on it. I bet if you asked him in a year’s time to bust out some of that Native American language he learnt in two weeks he’d have forgotten the lot. It’s basically clickbait, but passes the time agreeably enough in self isolation, and it’s obviously bringing him decent coin, so good for him.

Dude NYC is paradise for language nerds. You can literally find languages spoken there that have died out in their homelands.

That's a mixed South American language spoken by African descendants in Caribbean Central America. Would love to see you try something like that.

What I always wondered about Garífuna is whether they have traced it back to its roots in Africa and whether 21st century Coastal Caribbeans are understandable to that tribe on the African continent from which they descended. Recently I read that the rumored origins of how the Garífuna came to inhabit the Central American coast are not true. Local word is that a slave ship crashed centuries ago and they are the descendants of the survivors who made it to shore.

No disrespect, just an odd way to start the comment as if Sikhs have ownership of Punjabi or something.

The WORLD is basically required to learn English, Americans aren’t required to learn a language, languages are usually just an option or elective. Not to mention a lot of Americans (and I’m American) tend to be very lazy when it comes to learning new language, and/or just expect everyone to speak English.

Laoshu and Xiaoma made me want to pursue becoming fluent in multiple languages. There’s something beautiful about being able to just talk to a fellow human being, whether if they’re your neighbor or thousands of miles from home. Imagine all the friendships, relationships, films, books, music, etc. that we’re missing out on? The inspiration is there and it’s so exciting.

Whilst it's nice to see the listeners of the languages he speaks being shocked, happy and, sometimes, humbled that somebody would take the time to learn their language, it's obvious in a lot of situations that he's floundering at times and really trying to grasp at it. That takes a lot of courage to put yourself into that spot. I've been trying to get better at Polish over the years and I don't even have the balls to make mistakes in front of my in-laws for fear of making myself look like a dolt. This guy's solid.

@@ChrisDuffeyPhoenixbodywork once you learn a foreign language-and I mean really learn it, understanding the nuances and grammar-it genuinely gets a little easier for the next, and so on. And that also helps with confidence, which is a HUGE part of learning quickly, because if you’re too shy to try it with strangers, you’re holding yourself back. If you take the leap, they might laugh and correct you. Egg on the face, but totally worth it in the end. I studied a few languages in school. When in Italy, I realised that even though my Italian was not anywhere near fluent, if I spoke English, I’d never learn. So I forced myself to speak the most embarrassing broken Italian haha. But I’m now really comfortable speaking Italian

nobody learns a language in 24 hours. He follows the same sentence frames in each language and learns key words. Most of the settings is always buying something or ordering food. So obviously you need to learn sentence frames related to commerce. Then know specific ethnic nouns like “vegetables.” He has to know “I know how to speak a little” so he can throw it out any time. If a complex sentence is asked by the native it is edited out. Notice how there is never any thought provoking questions asked by the native speakers. It’s always “it’s good you’re learning” or some variation of it.

No, he has a penchant for overeating food in general combined with a lot of free time and money on his hands to learn a few basic phrases and words of any dialect. Once you start learning and studying languages the more you are able to pick out words and their meanings, sometimes by merely picking up on the pentameter, placement, intonation and how often a word repeats.

Btw that woman doesn't say "this guy's funny..." she says "kina sona lagda hai punjabi bol ke" which roughly means "(he) looks so good/handsome speaking punjabi" Also if you want to eat a samosa with a knife and fork you should try a samosa chaat. Basically a samosa broken up in chole (chickpeas in gravy), and watered down dahi (plain yogurt), with some sweet and mint chutneys poured on top.
