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.

Repetition is key. Learning a few phrases and words so when they pop up he can put them into a sentence.

Dude NYC is paradise for language nerds. You can literally find languages spoken there that have died out in their homelands. You should be able to find Georgian speakers without too much trouble and I've heard there are even Garifuna speakers there. That's a mixed South American language spoken by African descendants in Caribbean Central America. Would love to see you try something like that.
@juancarlosmontes3 жыл бұрын
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.

Similarly, Punjabi's belong to other faiths like Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, etc and still speak Punjabi. Sikhi is a religion and being Punjabi is an ethnic identity that existed far before Sikhi. 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.

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.

Even though he doesn't know the language fully but the effort he puts into it is just commendable and how he tries to mix up with the locals ! Amazing

Dope you finally did a video in punjabi! Bruh when you said, "Punjabi vich ke naam hai" @6:10 I was damn you nailed the accent. 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.

I'm glad you made that clarification! As someone who is forced to read subtitles, I thought "wow... that was kinda rude.. is she laughing at him/making fun? So when I read your comment, it was reassuring that she was shocked, but not bothered lol. Also, Ive never tried samosa chaat, but it sounds delicious!! Now I want some! Thanks for your comment! Take care
