You are very lucky to have acquired so many languages that other people can only dream about but you are also very talented and hardworking in learning more of them. Totally enjoyed this video😀
Always lovely to hear polyglots story. Cross cultural marriage + societal multilingual environment + migration => + self-interest in languages. It's too powerful! and yes, when we grow up, we do thank our parents for language maintenance at home and moving us to another country. がんばって！Anímate!' ！把这份最好的礼物送给我们的孩子们！(i nostri figlio stanno 'acquisendo' mandarino, inglese + Singlish 😊, italiano e cantonese)
This is such an underrated channel, really great content! Haha it's awesome to hear someone else understand and not speak Taiwanese but reply back in Taiwanese "you understand but can't speak it". I understand how important it is to expose your kids, like somehow even though I never studied Taiwanese to just know it from being around it makes sense. Definitely going to keep checking out more content, would love to learn more about how to teach our baby other languages.
Wow, your story is amazing! Both of my parents are Taiwanese, but I was born in the USA and I've lived here ever since. I'm currently completely fluent in Mandarin and English, my Taiwanese is at a similar level to yours, and I'm learning Spanish as part of my high school curriculum. I hope to be able to spend some time in a Spanish speaking country at some point in the next few years, so I can become conversationally fluent in Spanish. If I have time, I plan on learning some basic French as well. The way you are raising your children is wonderful-- they are getting exposed to many languages at an early age from different people which gives them a huge advantage over other kids who only start learning a second language in elementary, middle, or high school because the early language immersion they're experiencing now will have a native speaker effect. Kudos to you!
Dein Deutsch ist wunderschön e il tuo italiano anche!! Parli molto bene e a giudicare dal video io ti definirei fluente anche in queste due lingue!💪 Un video molto motivazionale, sono contento di averlo scoperto! Danke vielmals und bis spät!!
Thanks for your comment! I found that my Mandarin improved as I used it with my kids. So I'm sure this would happen to you with German if you start using it with your kids. ;)
Awesome! Je suis aussi de Bromont et mon conjoint est turc, mais on communique ensemble en anglais :) Bien que nous n'ayons pas encore d'enfants, on aime regarder des exemples positifs qui nous inspirent pour créer un environnement polyglotte où notre progéniture pourrait grandir! Nouvelle abonnée, et qui sait, au plaisir de se croiser sur la montagne!
Jajaja en Baños! Que genial y que buen acento tienes Tetsu. Desde ahora solo voy a hablar contigo en Español. 👌 You are really talented - wonderful video.
I watched your video and noticed your languages and then all the open space. My thought was... well, he cartainly doesn't live in Asia! :p Cool to hear que tu habites au Quebec! J'ai passé' trois beaux étés lá-bas pour l'immersion en francais! C'etait maqnifique! I got lazy and skipped a few accents. I'm typing on an English keyboard. :p Loved the video!
Thank you for your comment Alex! I agree many kids in Quebec learn English relatively well if they live in or around Montreal and some English speaking towns across the province. Spanish is also relatively accessible to those in big cities, but I wouldn't go as far as characterizing it as "most" French Canadian kids. Many people do eventually learn it as adults through university or travel though. Clearly the 2nd and 3rd languages of the province though! Thanks again.
Your portuguese is really good! Parabéns, você não fala com sotaque espanhol, portunhol é um problemão para os brasileiros e para os hispânicos! I'm dabbling with japanese right now, and have studied german for a couple of years. German grammar is impossible, the genders and cases are a nightmare. Thankfully, after I found your interview with Steve Kaufmann I understood that my problems were lack of consumption of media in my target language! I've improved a lot with netflix and acquired a lots of vocabulary on youtube. It is incredible because most of my english vocab was aquired with youtube and I simply did not realize that! Keep up the good work!
Vous êtes incroyable ! J'ai 24 ans et je ne parle que le français, l'anglais, l'espagnol, et j'apprends le coréen. Je souhaite ensuite apprendre le japonais et le mandarin mais c'est compliqué vu le temps que je prends pour mémoriser tous les mots... D'ailleurs, quel est votre langue préférée ou la plus agréable à prononcer pour vous ?
Merci beaucoup pour ces mots très gentils! Je vous souhaite bcp de succès avec votre apprentissage! En ce qui concerne ma langue préférée, je dois dire que je les aime toutes. Ce ne pas pour éviter votre question, mais plutôt pour dire que me sens différemment selon la langue que je parle, comme si je prenait une personnalité diff et j'apprécie chacune diff aussi. En ce qui concerne prononciation, je pense que l'allemand est la plus difficile pour moi dans mes 10 langues.
