As an American living in another country with a kid, I know it can be so incredibly lonely being the only one in your home that speaks your language. Her mom must have been sooo beyond touched!! 😭😭💖💖
urdu is a beautiful language. it's incredibly poetic, and if you're in south asia, it can also help you pick up words from other languages you may not even speak.
how so? from my understanding, it's a black person who acts... ooooh. there definitely are two ways to use oreo. relationship wise and personality wise. I get it now
That girl is amazing!!! NOT Dee exiting the room to 😢😢 ❤ Side note: In the UK 🇬🇧 the cocunut insult is a thing, especially when I was growing up in 80s. Im muxed so got called that all the time as i wasnt deemed 'black enough'. Brown on the outside white in the middle.
I really wanna learn language but holy its really hard to get into the sway of studying and diving all ur time to emersing but this taught me alil bit how to do it while mixing daily life
I relate heavy, i'm the only one outta my whole next gen of siblings and cousins that still speaks urdu wit my family, and my mom has always appreciated it, definitely matters to them 🫶🏽
I was born and raised in the UK with immigrant parents from Somalia. I can speak somali but have limited vocabulary, can read it but writing 💀💀. Pretty much conversational that isn't too complex. It wasn't easy but my parents never spoke very good English so speaking to me in Somali was the only way to communicate, and doing them translation shifts here and there. If you know what I mean.
7:48 - Dee was trying to fight it back, but alas... Also makes me think about PewDiePie's kid and how he can potentially learn four languages: 1) Italian for Marzia 2) Swedish for Felix 3) English as the Lingua Franca 4) Japanese since they live there
I'm Bengali, me and my siblings all speak fluent English, broken bengali and we fully understand Urdu, but we can't speak it😭 but watching Bollywood films was never a problem 😌
Never heard of coconut, but heard of oreo for us and banana for asians. Also, I want to do this for my mom too whos soeaks Spanish, but it def takes persistence.
It’s so sad to think that she was never taught her native language due to their circumstances. It’s also sad to think many, many children of immigrant family are losing their culture and language because of western culture. I had always knew how to speak in my native language, but never fluent enough. Just enough to talk shit w/ slang 😂 it wasn’t until I got older that I decided to ask other people of my culture what certain words mean etc… doing more research about my own culture has made me appreciate it a lot. I think, everyone should preserve their language and culture.
I think she said her dad was from Bangladesh. Maybe he speaks Bengali? But this nearly made me cry. I started loosing my mother to give as I got older and went through school. I always feels bad now because I went from fluent to intermediate and it’s hard to communicate with my mom sometimes 😭
3:57 this is so true. You’d think I cheated my way through Arabic the way I passed that shit and even had to do a presentation and did great!…. Fast forward years later I barely remember anything 😂 I practiced and studied to pass the class and after that I went on with my life barely using it in the outside world 😂
