Hey Family, there are over 2000 languages spoken in Africa, and almost all Africans speak 3-4 languages. And Africa is a continent with 54 Countries and each of these countries has 20 tribal languages, 16 languages, 11 languages, and so on. so you will notice when an African speaks the English language it's not going to be clear because it is not the only one they speak. Some speak Portuguese, Spanish, English, and French. So it's just crazy. I like your video, you guys are willing to learn new things. Thanks

Why not ask what language do I speak instead of assuming my nationality is also my language 😂😂😂

You're completely right! At least, bc nobody knows every language in the 54 countries, Excep North Africa French and SA Afrikaans and English, don't ask me about the other 10, asking if you speak also English and/or French. It's a matter of good manners...

@ceebee4750 Год назад

Good one. There is so little taught of African history or geography in American schools. Most Americans don't learn about how recent and forced many political borders are, especially in colonized regions like in Africa and in parts of South East Asia.

This is the same in Swahili, if you translate excuse me to Swahili it goes with the same word as “I am sorry” and because of that lots of Swahili speakers especially from Tanzania 🇹🇿 would say “ I am sorry can I pass please, or I am sorry could you please… I am sorry sir you dropped your wallet here

@corvussheperd8046 10 месяцев назад

I do that all the time. I say "I'm Sorry" to show sympathy, not to accept responsibility. Lots of people respond "You didn't do it." I suppose many people are unfamiliar with that sort of expression of that phrase, but it is common here in the states if you are in the service industry as well.

@JessicaLescarbeault 4 месяца назад

Yeah, we say sorry a lot in Canada too. I'm guessing it's a British thing so everywhere that's been colonized by Britain at some point as this "very polite, queueing and saying sorry all the time" habit. Other cultures (like Americans who aren't typically known to be as polite as Canadians) might not see it the same way and not understand that it's just to be polite and think you are actually trying to apologize to them out of guilt. I don't know.

Don't worry, even many people from England can't speak English that well, lol. I like the ladies responses, you have to use humour to slyly make people look uneducated. I don't have an issue with people asking how long it takes to braid the hair. It's obvious it takes a while, they just want to know how long. I personally think that's harmless curiosity. It's when you have waist length braids on Monday and Thursday a pixie cut, then back to long braids next Tuesday, why is "Linda" asking 'how come your hair grew so fast'? The clique, I've definitely asked my SA friends to say something and also to teach me how to do it. It's simply fascinating. I think it's amazing.

I grew up in the English West Midlands where there are many people of Welsh origin. AS a teenager, a friend of mine was given money by American tourists for being able to pronounce .Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch', which made him very happy. I think he spent the money on beer.

I get why it would annoy South Africans where English is a main language. But most of Africa does not speak English. They speak hundreds of tribal languages, in addition to one or several trade languages, like Arabic, Swahili and French. Telling someone from a non-English speaking African country that their English is really good is a compliment. Frankly, Africans in general put most countries to shame with their multilingual skills.

@truter5243 Год назад

I'll allow "which country in South Africa are you from" still. In the context of the continents there are quite a few countries in Southern Africa. I think we just confused the world when we named our country South Africa. I can understand how it is confusing to people who are not well educated in geography. It's like if Argentina or Chile named their country South America. Technically correct, but confusing. But when you ask "Where is South Africa" then I'm tapping out. It's literally in the name. You don't more self-explanatory than that

I love your channel. Sending love from Gambia and Senegal. I think people failed to realise that many African countries were colonised by the British (or French for Francophone African countries). As a result, the old British education system was implemented in these African countries which still persists. Yes, some may lack resources for practical work, but when it comes to theory, it is hard to find any country (even in the West) that can beat Africans. When it comes to theory, Africans used to master it as if it's a religion. I remember as a child growing up in Gambia, we use to have spelling, reading, and dictation tests everyday. When I went to London to further my studies, the teachers used to tell me I was too advanced for my year group and decided to promote me to a higher class. I excelled in that class and the teachers wanted to promote me again but my elder said no. That was very common amongst Africans especially those from West and East Africa - notably from Uganda. I was not the exception. In fact, I remember White English students at the time, asking me (an African child with my own language) to help them with their spelling and grammar. Many of them including my friends from Ethiopia, Somalia, and Eritrea used to form a queue so that I could proofread their courseworks before they hand them in. I used to charge them for that, and it was my side business. My friends of course got lower rates or sometimes I did it for free. The old British education system died out in the UK due to political correctness and political inference, unless of course you go to certain public schools (equivalent to private schools in the US). Africa on the other hand, preserved it. Speaking of African theory, there was even a Ugandan method of solving quantitative equations and algebra. I found out about this through my mathematics teacher who was a White English man. He wanted to know if I was familiar with it. As he went through it with me, it became apparent that it is somewhat different from the way I learned it in West Africa. Although both will lead to the same answer, the Ugandan method is much easier and shorter. The same holds true for many Francophone African countries. The late President of Senegal, President Leopold Sedar Senghor (the poet and founder of the Negritude Movement, who was from my tribe), spoke French better than most French people. If you only heard his voice without seeing him you would have thought he was part of the old French aristocracy. Maybe the only thing that might give him away if you listen intensely is the vocal/tonal differences between a Black and White man. In short, I find it extraordinary when people, especially from the West pose such silly questions to Africans.

@kerrydoutch5104 Год назад

Aussie here. I think the language/accent thing comes from what an American said that they love other accents because theyre a novelty and not heard often. So I think, innocently, they keep asking to hear you to say something in your own accent or language because its new or wierd or interesting or entertaining, it makes the speaker feel like performinng seal. It doesnt bother some people but its really annoying and can come across patronising.

@TheLovelyTraveler Год назад

The issue with asking an African person to speak their language for the sake of your own entertainment is that it fetishizes the language and other's them in a way that harkens back to colonial zoos and the xenophobic humour that's based on making fun of African's and our languages (eg. oga boga jokes). That's my issue with it as a South African.

@bd3825 Год назад

I'm South African and I think these girls are overly sensitive. While I understand that some questions or comments can be offensive, you take it with a grain of salt and try to correct and educate the person the best you can. Some people generally don't have manners and they can't be helped. I don't understand how a question like "How long does it take to braid your hair?" could be considered offensive.

Generally, Zimbabweans speak the best English in Africa. During the time of the liberation struggle, Dr Yusuf Dadoo, Chairperson of the South African Communist Party, died in London, General Secretary of the Party, Moses Mabhida spoke at the well=attended funeral. He had quite a strong Zulu accent but used it so beautifully and elegantly, I can still hear him in my head. I suggest that you look up these names on the Internet. Great African revolutionaries.
