Cute Girls Do This When You Speak Their Language

These interactions are just MAGICAL. They immediately break the ice for having a friendly conversation!

My impression is that people are mostly surprised to encounter a complete stranger confidently initiating a conversation as this is not a common thing (especially from a lady) in Asia.

This Proves how thru ignorance we can ISOLATE ourselves. Language is truly an antidote to Separatism and Racism. I wish I too had earlier in life learned to be multilingual as is this "Pearl" of a lady.

A tall beautiful blond American woman who speaks the native Japanese/Chinese/Korean is literally a unicorn!! Great content.

I absolutely love this video! You bring so much joy, not only to the people you interact with on the streets, but your audience as well. I feel completely comfortable watching the conversation unfold as if I'm a participant. You do a great job with this channel!

Such a sweet video! I just love the genuine reactions from people when you speak their language with such skill! As a life-long language learner, myself, I've enjoyed watching your channel grow. Congrats on one and a quarter million subs! Warm regards from Atlanta, GA. USA!

You are like a diplomat, an ambassador, the best one ever! When I was in Africa, I remember getting a lot of attention but not always loving it. I remember the reaction of kids, mostly curiosity but sometimes even fear. But when I felt overwhelmed at times, I would stop myself to remind myself, YOU ARE HERE. I was blessed to be there and see the world from a new perspective and learn other languages. We don't need to be afraid, even with huge differences in culture, we find our common ground. We're all people doing our best and wanting the best for our children.

She can't believe that you speak Japanese so fluently 🤭

I am a Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Chinese 🇨🇳, and I can also speak Mandarin as well as Cantonese. I had lived and studied in an English speaking international school in Tokyo for 11 years, so I also speak some Japanese as well. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The day you and Kazu Language meet one day will be a special one

When i saw you speaking Cantonese, I was like "Oh this must be one of those practice in person" days. And I was right! I admittingly haven't started Pimsleur but I truly think watching your videos over the last 4 years has given me strangely the courage to start therapy and figure out how to be more outgoing and do social activities outside of my comfort zone. AND to speak more in Spanish when I have a customer (I took so many years, I still cant reply back well, but I understand it LOL).

Yeah!!! 1.25M subs. Alyssa and Tommy, you both produced great videos!!!

It's been 2 years already since you and Tommy got married? Boy how time flies. Happy anniversary then. 🎉

You are absolutely amazing Anming. Just love to watch the latest from your posts. So nice to be able to hear, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Japanese all in one video. I send you peace, 💙 and harmony.

I signed up for the Pimsleur languge app yesterday. I'm liking it. Obviously as an European American, Mandarin is very foreign to me, no pun intended, but I have found I'm picking up the nuances in the Chinese dramas which I absolutely love. Thanks for the tip Pearl.

You bring a lot of people joy, by talking in their languages. A beautiful gift. ❤

I Really love this channel it makes me wanna learn new languages like japanese or mandarin continue the good work !

You could hear that lady's disappointment when she learned you were married to a Japanese guy instead of to a Chinese one HAHAHAHAH xDD

"What person are you" 😂😂 they're so straight forward it almost sounds rude!😂

I so look forward to your travel and interactions you are able to generate. Thank you so much.

Just the shot of wholesome that I needed today! Thanks!

I'll be satisfied when I can be truly conversational in Japanese, which I'm still very far from. But when I was in France and Belgium, I used my very limited and I thought almost forgotten French. Surprised myself by how much I remembered, and how much came back as I used it. Was able to use my almost non existent German in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. I learned very minimal Italian for my time there. Just using the little bits of the language of the country I was in always provoked a positive response. The funniest thing was when I was trying to recall an word or phrase in response, I often ended up responding unconsciously in Japanese. That truly surprised me, and happened often enough that is noticeable to the people I was with. They kept asking me why I was speaking Japanese. That's why I marvel at your ability to coherently carry on a conversation in multiple languages and keeping it all straight. Another great video, and whenever I need to gain inspiration for what is possible I only have to watch one of your videos. However, it helps that so many people know, can understand, and speak some English. Like in Asia, most know more English than I know their native language. They may be embarrassed by what they perceive as a lack of ability in English, which they are more willing to use when I have spoken to them in my poor imitations of their native tongues. Enjoyed this video.

Pearl is catching languages like some kind of pokemons. And than slay and attack, attack and slay. Catching next.

How can people not watch till the end? It always sneaks up on me. Awww over already. ❤😊

I love seeing how amazed people are, and then happy.😊💜

*Of course I made it to the end of the video - that's just what your #1 fan in Seattle does!* 🤗

Pearl, I watch 100% of your videos... LFGGGG... I am going to move to Japan and start buying Akiyas! Will move my kids there eventually when I am settled...

I really enjoy it when everyone smiles !!!

I am here again.. !! You amaze me. !!! I enjoy your channel very much. 64 year old lady here in Oregon.

That was absolutely incredible when you used all the different languages in one conversation. Way to go! My brain would be so confused trying to jump from all those different languages. 💜

You are Amazing Pearl, we are always blown away by your presence 👍

Am a Tanzanian(EAST AFRICA) Your Amazing! I Love to travel and the ability to speak multiple languages is indispensable, i think! WOW!

You and Tommy are just an Amazing couple. I love watching his Drama shorts. He’s hilarious. Thank you for sharing all your interactions with visitors and citizens of Japan 🇯🇵. I’m so proud of you with obtaining more than a million Subscribers. It’s nice to see you interact with someone from Harbin. See you on the next adventure. 🤍👍🏽 N. California/USA

You're my favorite Russian RU-vidr.😁 Everytime I flounder on my language learning for the day I watch videos like yours to get motivated. Even though they arnt related to my current languages I'm learning (Italian and Persian/Farsi) it is still a boost. (I do learn a few words here and there for my Japanese coworker because shes amazing.) Grazie Mille!

At this point, you should try learning Russian

These types of video are wholesome and weird at the same time 😂😂😩😂😂

Another great video, thank you!

Everyone loves it when you can speak in their native tongue. It is as if they are hearing their name being spoken without an introduction. Some people are floored. Some people are instantly curious. Most are both!

They made very smile because you were chatted with them which it makes enjoyable small talk with different languages.

I have so much respect & admiration for you@OrientalPearl. It's so nice to see so many others compliment & appreciate you. You are one of a kind, in my eyes

This is a great video, they always make me motivated while I’m learning, studying and practicing speaking Korean

I love watching your videos. I wish I could do what you do. It's really wonderful. I spent 5 months in Japan last year and loved it. I plan on returning each year, so I want to learn Japanese. I did buy the full Pimsler's method through your link. Now, I need to spend more time with it!

Your channel is so fun to watch! I live in Canada half hour from the Detroit Windsor border so I love it when you talk about Detroit!! ❤ I’ve been going to Detroit since I was a kid.. and it just keeps getting better and better. ❤😊

This girl brings smiles and laughter to strangers by knowing foreign language, how wonderful is that? Keep people laughing and smiling, the world needs more of it.

Always great content OP.

You should have shirts that say, "No, I'm not Russian" in different languages.

It's an immediate ice-breaker if you can speak the other person's language, even just a little. It doesn't take a lot of effort really, and it's a huge sign of recognition. You're on their ground, and it's a show of respect.

Hey Pearl 🦪 I always love your videos 🧋 Japan always amazed me and I'm definitely going to visit it in the coming Time. I hope to meet for a moment, for Sure 😁 Keeps showing us some Good places around. Take Care 🤗 God Bless You 🍀

4:10 that's the most energy and pridefull "nice to meet you" i'd never seen, greetings from Colombia. 🇨🇴

LMAO the Russian comment always gets me

Its always amusing to me that non Americans speak several languages, but seeing an American who has taken the time to truly study and speak multiple languages is much more rare. ❤

Love this video!! I'm one of the few that made it to the end. I like the homeless video's of you and Tommy of showing the homeless and helping them💚💞

You have a very unique gift to learn different languages. I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for making them.

....so amazing! Learning languages are the door into the people's hearts in that country! 😊👍👏👏👏

I enjoyed this video quite a lot. Thanks for sharing it with us. 😊😊

I really love ❤️ the shocked faces 😮 when they don't expect perfect Japanese, Chinese, or Korean..... I've been studying Italian in hopes I can visit my mother's family in Sicily someday. I've got to the point where I can read and understand some, but I need to study more. I love watching your show. Keep it going and keep posting! ❤

She is really impressed with your multiple language speaking, Miss Alyssa.

"What person are you?". Yo Momma!.

It’s amazing how many people’s minds you blow when you glitch the matrix. The day when you speak Vietnamese, Khmer, and TeoChew. My jaw would DROP!

I could only wish 😂😂😂 to just say hello😂😂amazing talent you have to know so many languages. Bravo to you@!

I love your videos. I watch them all when they come up in my feed

I love your videos!! ❤

Congratulations on the channel's success. I really like seeing how happy your videos make people.

Love your videos. This is another great one.

Love how you consider those things

I always find it so hilarious when you catch them off guard by speaking their language because they would never expect someone like us to know how to speak that language😂

I caught your livestream the other day live, cool video too

Hey, I am an American born citizen of the US of Chinese descent. English is my second language since we spoke on Chinese at home. I speak cantonese, but I will have to say that your Cantonese is a whole lot better than mine. Keep up the your desire to learn and expand your knowledge. The Wok-it Scientist

Ahhh these videos are always my favorite!! Keep up the amazing content! ^^

Japanese : “ We don’t sound like that do we … ? “ 😂 Yes you do

An amazing compilation with new footage, it looks like! This was so much fun. It’s inspiring for someone who has never had a facility with languages.

A blast, as always!

I speak 8 languages Chinese is one, you always amaze me so much!

You are so sweet with the way you converse. Blessings to you from the USA. Be well :)

I am so impressed with the various languages you speak. Keep it up!

すごおおおおおおぃなあああああああ there's like 4 languages here gawd dayum. Also thumbs up for Tommy's sweet Asian tuccous

So cooool! Keep up sharing these awesome interactions!

I don’t know how your mind shifts from one language to another..Truly amazing.Been studying Chinese 2 years now and now can’t speak a word of Spanish which I was moderate at. It must require a special knack.I envy you❤

you are a boss!! i really wanted to see videos like this again... you're kinda like the new laoshu lol

I think it's amazing what you can do. I have always wanted to travel to Japan. I have started the Pimsler Japanese course. It is very difficult for me. I have been trying for about 7 months and I couldn't carry on a conversation to save my life yet. So I really admire your abilities.

I only have five lessons left of that language app. Since I just had knee surgery last night, I plan to finish and then go through all the lessons one more time while I recover! 🎉

Pearl has the best superpower EVER!!!!

Great video! Lots of fun. Time to start wearing a "I'm not Russian" sign somwhere on your coat!

Nanka omoishiroi bedio oku wa kono round no hours mou zattai ni mattemasu kanarazu ❤❤🎉🎉

I am so ready for this new video

It's one thing to speak languages, but switching so effortlessly between multiple languages in one conversation is beyond impressive!

Had a chance to be an exchange student in Italy for a semester after studying Italian at the University of Texas for two years. Still kicking myself for not doing that. :(

That one group around the 5 minute mark understood all three of the Far East languages and both of the Chinese dialects. Simply amazing how you speak all of them with accomplished fluency.

always enjoy you videos

Great video. Such wonderful and lovely interactions.

this lady is literally like quadri-lingual in asian languages and speaks most of them FLUENTLY!!!! amazing!!! Cantonese Mandarin Japanese Korean Vietnamese she’s learning now, last I checked English

your cantonese actually rlly good. its probably one of the hardest language to learn in terms of getting the tone right

I think you are more amazing for still responding to random comments than for speaking so many languages.... Dont respond to this one, just read it, dont waste time 😄

I love this stuff! I love your positivity. Thank you so much for the smile today. I hope your day goes smoothly. :)

I still want to visit China some day tbh. Or at least Taiwan. It's just the political situation there seems so hot right now and I don't know how that effects tourism, travel, but also people's anxiety about westerners.

woo another video, love these keep up the amazing work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

At this point, should try learning your homecountry's language, Russian 😭

People in China STARE SO MUCH.

Pearl - Talk about the Chinese DEATH VANS sometime.
