que bueno

@@anires1195 que cosa?

I speak (not quite fluent) English (fluent) French, Italian, Spanish & a little Russian (I don't really have a resource for Russian). (Why?) Germany, Munich. There is a film titled Munich and when I saw the poster on the wall in a video store I read it in my head as an English word (to give you a reference or example: to pronounce it in the German language, an English speaker would spell it as "Mewnick") I had no clue it wasn't even an English word but the guy I was with corrected me. Another similar example: The actor Cam Gigandet. How I learned the language? Given that when I saw the word written, I got it wrong, I used Coffee Break Languages to listen to it spoken on a podcast.

❤️

there are lots of great resources on youtube for spanish. I am currently trying to improve my spanish also so you have my support. Buen suerte!

If you''ve learned English, then Spanish is way easier, you can do it!

Ich spreche spanisch ist viel einfach :)

Hablante nativo de inglés, también me resulta difícil el español (native English speaker, I'm finding Spanish one of the hardest languages)

@@PaulW4 Yes, Spanish is difficult.

Season 3 Chandler looking dude. Yes, I agree. He was stoned outta his mind LOL.

Linguists and historians argue that it's not, given how different the tone structure and vocabulary is. Hong Kong and SE Asian Cantonese is also a different subdivision and even harder to understand since they insert non Chinese words in their conversation.

What part of AZ? I want to visit

Buena suerte yo soy arabo y hablo 3 lenguas y quiero aprender muchus idiomas

@@user-nq6hy2tm2z Buena suerte para usted tambien ☺ ✌

@@dangercat9188 gracias!

Oh schön zu lesen, wie kommst du darauf Deutsch zu lernen? Viel Erfolg. Grüße aus Bayern!

@@flamingo2504 Ich denke, es ist eine interessante und coole Sprache. Und da es etwas herausfordernd ist, dachte ich mir, warum nicht. Ich liebe eine Herausforderung. Rammstein und Tokio Hotel waren ebenfalls große Ermutigungen lol. ✌ 🇩🇪 ♥

gracias!

The City will be waiting for you! I hope you make it here as it is clear you understand it is a special place:)

Appreciate you bro

🐢

Just say westchester

@@Pero-zl4jp Westchester County Baby!!! Happy now?

@@saber8459 I always appreciate accuracy

@@Pero-zl4jp Rockland County here 😂.

It’s nice that you want to try to pronounce English properly but as long as you can be understood, that’s the main thing. I think most native speakers won’t be critical if your pronunciation is not 100%.

I feel like english speakers are very good at understanding people who speak with an outrageous accent like we have in France lol

The same would be in reverse, my attempts at french would sound so funny to a native french speaker. Have you heard an australian with a thick accent say Bonjour, its funny HAHA. You're doing great, we can still understand what youre trying to say so dont worry.

I'm Belgian and found it hard to pronounce the English words in the lyrics of Les lacs de Connemara like the francophones do. That's the downside of being multi-lingual. It was so odd.

Well, you French, should remember that when encountering an English speaking person struggling to pronounce some words in French, instead of making a super rude expression and PFT.

I think you're right. Usually, the people who I've met in other countries who speak more than one language have rich parents who sent them to private schools.

Well,in particular I don't agree with the statement that assumes the majority Americans are monolingual. In popular cities in the United States it is possible to find plenty of Americans fluent in Spanish. By the way, all Americans who I know manage to speak fluent Spanish. In addition, you're right when you say in several countries such as Brazil, people cannot speak other languages aside their language, Portuguese. Unfortunately,very few Brazilians are able to speak other languages.

@@iancu_de_hunedoara I never said it was. These 3 are truly global languages, no matter Wh8ch part of the planet you live in

@@iancu_de_hunedoara But the guy is right, as these 3 countries colonised so many people, their languages became more important

Just only english

@@thato596 There are more spanish speakers than English and French speakers in the world.

Spanish

Thanks! Did you watch my last one? I spoke to an Egyptian in new york

@@TheNewTravel sure, I don't miss a video of this series, there were 4 Arabs, I like that video

If you go to different parts of the city you will find more italian speakers. This was mostly downtown manhattan lol

Italian immigration into the US was at its height in the 1920s, there is still an Italian area in lower Manhattan and immigrants continue to arrive but they are from other parts of the world, it goes in cycles. Italian and Irish were among the first to arrive in great numbers.

Trovo defficile l'italiano (I'm finding Italian harder than I thought it would be.) I'm finding it one of the hardest.

@@Daniel-pc2ov visit in december and you will hear a lot italian tourist in downtown manhattan lol

It is not that known. italian descendants talk english

Bence de xD.

Definitely agree, me too. I don'tt like too much people and noisy. So let's live in Nebraska or Wyoming, right? :D

Thankfully Manhattan!=NYC

This is not all of NY duh this is Manhattan​@@yavuzdagc3741

And they wanna make it even more crowded with the migrants 🤦‍♂️

There are so many French people here! I'm not a French native but worked for a French company years ago. I had also joined Alliance Française to brush up on the language and meet even more people. Bonne chance!

@@lichi1244eva yea I hear lots of French around in Brooklyn especially but it's different making friends.

I have another video where I asked this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rFhSKIDjw7w.html

How long were you in Uppsala?

it takes hundreds of hours of practice and if they dont do it as a child, forget it. They dont have the time / effort to learn now.

As a Spanish speaker I think not every one has it in them to learn other languages, even if they are literally surrounded by a particular language. You could say the same about many Latino immigrants who also never learn English even after living in the US 30, 40, even 50 years or more. Honestly, that boggles my mind even more than non-Latino Americans who don’t learn Spanish even if they live in heavily Spanish-speaking areas, such as Cali, Miami or some neighborhoods here in NYC (Washington Heights, Jackson Heights, Corona, Inwood)

I've heard better things about NY than California. This isn't my opinion, I've never been. This is what I've heard from other people

You're ignorant. Would you say the same thing about the woman who refuses to learn English because everyone that she meets speaks Spanish? That she is purposely handicapping herself?

"But they just don't care enough to try." Translation: lazy. 🧐🙃🤓

Hay muchos puertorriqueño aqui en Nueva York y siempre quise aprender algo de español puertorriqueño

Yeah. Let’s compare a country with a population of 660k people to a city of 8 million people. Sounds reasonable. 🙄

@@ThePerksdeLeSarcasmeSiorai doesn't really matter how big the place is...totally irrelevant. All over Europe most people speak many languages, it's not a big deal there.

It’s from Colombia 🙂( i’m colombian)

@@Felakutikiddo same place... From Colombiam The big..
