Harvard, how many languages do you speak? 

Who did it better... Boston or Harvard? 👀 (Watch next : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wbshn51ODwg.html&)

If you speak two languages, you’re bilingual. Three languages? You’re trilingual. Only one language? Congratulations! You’re American 😂

If you go to the polyglot conference and ask them "how many languages do you speak?", it would be very interesting :)

A quantidade de brasileiros em Havard é de impressionar. 🇧🇷

I’m 15 and I speak in kazakh, russian,English,turkish languages. I proud of that I’m from Kazakhstan. Because everyone in Kazakhstan knows or understands this languages very well

Being Harvard students, I was expecting way more people to speak in at least another language. The only ones speaking two or more were the foreigners.

Foreign students are the only speaking other languages 😂

É incrível saber quando uma pessoa é brasileira antes mesmo dela falar que sabe português😂

love the purity of this video, not much unnecessary edit and annoying sound, just simple cut and really show the nuances of the video 🥰

I speak three languages: Argentinian, Peruvian and Uruguayan. And sometimes I understand Chilean, but it is very difficult.

The fact that the guy at 1:28 started learning English at the age of 16-17 and still made it to Harvard is crazy.

chocada com a quantidade de brasileiros em Harvard!! fiquei super inspirada! i hope i can get to this level one day!!!!

Love seeing Brazilians at Harvard 🇧🇷

i'm surprised about the lack of variety of languages. it seemed to be mostly Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German. i thought i'd see a lot more Chinese languages

To the girl who spook Arabic. That was amazing! Both in grammar and pronunciation! Btw she also said "Good morning" but forgot to translate it haha. Good luck to everyone wishing and is learning any language. It is tough, but the result is just beautiful and satisfying :)

I really enjoy this series, it makes me really want to step up and learn more languages!

I feel motivated by your videos because I am learning English and I see a lot of people who know other languages it's very motivated. Thank you for your work it is amazing. Greetings from Colombia.

I can’t believe I’ve been in Montreal for 1.5 years now and Dan still haven’t asked me how many languages I speak 😢

It surprises me how many Harvard students speak only one language or just "one and a half". I mean, in Spain you cant graduate from University without a B2 level (upper-intermediate) in a second language, and Im talking about every University in the country. I thought for Harvard you would need at least 3.

this makes me feel good thank you sir

It is interesting to observe the answers of teachers and students. The teachers always specify the level of each language they speak.😊

"I speak all the languages when I'm drunk" - a Croatian wisdom

I speak six languages: English, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and a year of French in college. Covid allowed me the chance to spend three hours a day on three languages and I haven’t missed a day since!

Incrível como a gente sempre vai reconhecer um brasileiro de longe kkk tanto pela aparência quanto pelo sotaque 😂❤

The video is inspiring, it encourages me learn a second language which is quite cool.

The girl who spoke Arabic had a great accent but she’s so right that Arabic grammar is super difficult!

Que loucura, não sabia que tinha tantos brasileiros em Harvard.

the energy at Harvard seems so positive and happy!

Your videos it's helping me, I'm learning English, your videos are great 🥰🥰💖💖

2:02 As a Brazilian I felt so happy to see these two, It's so good to see Brazilian people around the world

I can speak Canadian, American, Englandish, Australian, and am currently learning New Zealandi. Wish me luck!

Amazing ! As an American, I speak 3 languages. Spanish (Native Speaker), English and French. Learning langauges is something I love!

your videos is so nice to me, it is well interative and I m learn english !!!

Fun fact, which is also really surprising: The person at 1:16 is Samuel Bosch, he is known for being the youngest doctorand at MIT, having finished a practice at M&A with the salary of $15,000/month, and also for having the best A-Levels in all of Croatia.

pretty cool to see some brazillians there haha, BRASILSILSIL!

Watching this incredible video, I'd like to share my little story of speaking a few languages too! I am 19, just got into an American university and super excited about how things will work out! Originally from Afghanistan, I entered the United States 4 months ago to start a new chapter of life. Besides my native language which is Persian/Dari, I can speak English, Pashto, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, Turkish and some very basic Polish and Yiddish; and I am looking forward to take Russian classes at my university. I managed to learn to speak English properly with a relatively good accent in 20 months, started when I was 17. I was always encouraged by my parent's interests to speak more languages and they always used to tell me how my ancestors were tradesmen of the Silk Road, and how they would communicate with people, starting from China and ending to Greece and even Italy. Fast forward to the end of 2023, We had a general essay requirement for the university application and the theme which I selected for my essay was: My journey of learning English, by thinking in English. Because that's what I actually did! At the time when I was learning English, I practiced having an English language reaction to EVERYTHING I saw or heard, and I programmed my mind in a way that it could process just about everything I saw or heard, in English, so that I wouldn’t have to squander my time by starting a translation chain from Persian (the default language of my thoughts) to English and then speaking it out. I cannot even find the right words to express how impressed I was, and how much it affected my language learning journey. One thing I love the most about being multilingual, especially since I entered the United States, is the fact that everyone is just so invested into talking to you and interacting with you that you will never feel alone or sidelined, which would legitimately be my greatest fear. I always loved being social and socializing with a lot of people, and therefore jobs which require a lot of interacting with random people, like food service industry or drive-thru, seemed quite appealing to me. I wish everyone success in their language learning journeys.

Muito feliz de ver brasileiros por aí ❤

always amazed at individuals who can speak more than 2 languages natively. I spoke with a Korean-American once, and she was absolutely fluent in both Korean and English. most Korean-Americans I meet can speak either with an accent on one or even both, but I've seldom met anyone who can speak both without any. it was pretty insane listening to her reading both Korean and English books.

Your talent at locating folks to interview continues to amaze and delight me. Another superb video! Merci de nouveau.🐢

Awesome video! Very interesting :) 🐢

Thanks for writing the question after asking the same for three times in a row in the introductory part 😁

Que orgulho dos brasileiros!! A primeira moça que fala 4 idiomas me impressionou, e a camisa do cara "pega o eixão, depois o eixinho, faz a tesourinha e sobe no balão" hahahaha entendi nada

as an Eastern European, I am always shocked that people barely speak one or two languages here, even at a school like Harvard! I graduated from high school in Poland speaking 4, I later acquired a few more languages. Huge foreign language crisis in the US right now.

Очень удобно быть русскоязычным, потому что вроде как ты говоришь на русском, но и при этом отлично понимаешь украинский, белорусский, польский, словацкий, сербский и немного чешский)

I have a cousin in Switzerland who is seven and is fluent in seven languages. French, Swiss German, English, German, Irish, Italian and Croatian. Her mother is Croatian- French and her father is Irish who grew up in a Gaeltacht area (my blood uncle) and they lived in Italy for three years before moving to Germany for a couple months and finally landing in Switzerland. (Her father taught her Irish and they speak French and Irish + English at home and Croatian with their grandparents)

Thanks for having me in the video 🙂 🐢

All the guys are just cool!

8:00 That pronunciation was fantastic Juliette!

He needs to ask this Question to folks in Montreal. I've worked with Montrealers that speak as many as 7 languages. It's incredible!

Muitos falantes de português! Fiquei impressionado. A lot of Portuguese speakers. I'm impressed.

feliz demais em ver um cara de brasilia no video, harvard cheio de br e nois nem imagina ce ta doido

Cool video!!

Love street interviews thank you for making these

I like how the woman in the end when asked to speak French immediately hit him with the characteristic "euuuuuuhhhhh" 😆😆

Multilingual people are an inspiration. I learned Hindi & Punjabi in school for 7 years and can only just get by shopping and ordering food, although I can read and write both. I’ve now been trying to learn Spanish for years but no where near fluent. Envious of all these people!

I love multilingualism, it's so fascinating. It fuels me on my quest of learning other languages.

Love these types of videos. I'm an ongoing Korean learner and aspire to learn other languages in the future, like Spanish for one. Seeing so many other individuals who know or are learning two or more languages is so inspiring to see. Languages are such a beautiful thing🐢

It's cool seeing a University edition of these!

Amei-me em ver brasileiros em Harvard 🇧🇷

😮 1:08 a little bit of sign language... im happy that you learned it

You should come to Luxembourg. It's impossible to find a monolingual person here.

I'm Brazilian, and I loved seeing Brazilians at Harvard

2:20 Representantes brasileiros em Havard 🇧🇷❤️

I feel so proud to see so much of Brazil in such a respected college! VAI BRASIL!!! BRASILSILSILSILSISLLLL

it's easy to see which languages are dominant

Keep it up, Dan! I love that you're going to different places!

The woman who spoke in arabic did really well! Arabic is my native language so it was easier for me, but even Native speakers agree that its hard! Grammer was such a struggle but I love my language! One thing that makes it harder is that in the arab region we all speak in our own dialect that is different from what we learn in school!

As someone who’s learning German, this was kinda motivating to keep learning🥹

its weird how many german speakers are at havard. I grew up my whole life in the us and only met one maybe two other german speakers.

Such an incredible video!!! I really love your "how many languages do you speak?" videos because it's becoming more and more interesting to know and get involved into the language learning field, please keep it up. Looking for new things to not get bored is always exciting and even healthy. Studying at Harvard University is wonderful because of its cozy environment, its international students, its nice outlook and so on. Moreover, I would love to be reborn to become one of its students, it would have been very good and rewarding I'm 24 years old, but I can't leave my current university in my home country 😢. 🐢

Adorei o fato de ter mt br em havard e outras pessoas aprendendo português

Incredibly surprising, as someone who is looking forward to learn 5 languages.. I expected so much more from them!

Orgulho do Brazil 🇧🇷, sei falar fluentemente português, inglês, espanhol, conheço o hebraico e Italiano

I enjoy these videos. I love language! It would be amazing if you made videos in even more other countries, particularly in non-English speaking countries.

O tanto de br em Harvard me deixa orgulhoso

WOW!!!!! SO AMAZING!!!

learning languages are very interesting!! spanish is my first language, and I know guaraní, english, some portuguese and I studying chinese… it’s amazing! 😊

I loooove to learn different languages! ❤ I'm German,love to talk American English,had UK English in school. Im learning Dutch,Spanish,Korean, Polish and whatever i'm in the mood for. 😊 Just love it! Liebe Grüße und vielen Dank für Eure Videos. Hartelijk dank! ❤

I speak 4, and Im 15. It's coz, well, I'm from India, and almost all the states there have their own language. My mom and dad are from different states, so I know both, then Hindi and English. The first language I learned was English, and I watched a looot of Peppa Pig too (lol), from which I developed an accent. I just recently moved to Canada and knowing English well has helped sooo much, whether it be in social situations or in studies. People here are surprised when they hear my English, knowing the fact that I just moved recently. They say they don't hear "the Indian accent" which confuses me. It's not like I'm entitled to just NOT know English well or something, just coz I'm from India 😅. I'm also slowly learning french, so I hope to master that someday too!!

Muito bom que consigo reconhecer os brasileiros quando ouço a voz e o jeitinho de falar inglês, não sei porquê

WOW, those guys are my inspiration... my mother tongue is spanish and I speak english... not fluently yet but I'm on it, I'm also lerning french.... It's nice to see that many students speak spanish at Harvard

This is so interesting because nowadays, basically everyone whose first language isn't English learn it in school, so they end up with a relatively fluent foreign language and their first language, oftentimes you're required a second foreign language as well. And I haven't even mentioned minority languages or immigrants/kids of immigrants who might speak yet another language at home. Obviously there's not as much of an incentive for Americans/English native speakers in general to learn one, but even just from a point of understanding how language works, it's hugely beneficial.

Is he a Hogwarts professor 7:00

🐢 It was interesting to watch!

I love this sooo much. I am an ESL teacher and I speak English and Spanish but I DEFINITELY want to become fluent in atleast one more language. Thank you for this.

A diva brasileira falando 4 línguas, ao lado do divo (bonitão). Parabéns, gente, que orgulho.

4:043 is the goat I love that guy. his energy is so chil and great love that dude

🐢 Love Videos like this

me senti feliz em saber que o casal de brasileiros ali é da minha terra Brasília, identifiquei pela camiseta com os termos que só se usam aqui.

Excellent video. These people are so kind❤❤❤

After watching a bunch of videos of this type I am pround to be from Tunisia where we have the chance to learn multiple languages since ever. Today I am 14 and I speak 4 languages( french, spanish, english, arabic) and I hope I will learn more and extend my vocabulary in each one knowing that arabic is my first language. Have a good day

@7:18 stooop she's so sweet ✨💗🧚🏻‍♀️

Adorei que muitos falam português, não esperava haha

9:32 Eeeeeeeeeuuuuu 🥐🥐🥐🍷 20/20 You nailed French. Next.

Manejo el inglés y árabe, pero aún ando aprendiendo el español y portugués. Aunque yo tenga que mejorar más que más, me gustan muchas estos idiomas ❤❤❤ ojalá que sea fluido un día de estos

As a person who learned a few languages (different levels), I don’t even have to use them 90% of the time. The other 10% I’m forcing it out in small convos with random people I’ll never see again or maybe my friend when he cares to

8:11 omg finally I find someone is learning my native language 💛💛💛💛💛btw her Arabic is so good

I would have expected more people to speak at least a second language being at a business school. I consider myself lucky that I was brought up with another language. My mother was German and always spoke German to me and my sisters and my dad always spoke English. I can also read and understand some Dutch. I did French at school but didnt really continue with it which is a shame.

Guy from 2:00 is definitely from Brasília. Cause his shirt is an almost untranslatable phrase from here (it's translatable, but it would mean nothing to outsiders). And from girl's Portuguese she's probably from here too. Just love it 🇧🇷🐢

I speak 3 languages fluently. It's actually very common in hong kong to be fluent in mandarin, cantonese and english. I can also understand korean but can't speak it very well, and learnt a bit of french and japanese.
