I think America is the #1 to learn a foreign language it is the country with such a high ethnic diversity

@GlumWretch 8 лет назад

+エイスラ Actually, the countries of Europe are more likely to be the first to learn a foreign language. I don't know about West European countries, but in the East European countries we learn two foreign languages, English and French/ German/ Italian/ Spanish/ Russian/ another one. I won't mention that the ones who stay not away from a border, probably will know some of the neighbour country's language too. The most of Americans I've met know no other language than English. And a lot of them, don't even write grammatically correct the English language although they are native.

It should be mandatory in English schools to learn Mandarin and Spanish, opens up so many doors for future prospects.

@Cami555555Sheep 8 лет назад

+Joe B Horrible idea. Like +EpicJonah said, not only is there a problem with students basically wasting time (Which also means a waste in resources and teachers time/efforts), but not everyone wants to learn Chinese/Spanish. Language learning should be inspired by students, but with the current way learning languages in class works, it would not be effective at all.

@LetThereBeLightxx 8 лет назад

I took Spanish four yes no motivation I probably no more in 1nd half months with motivation then those four months. but I agree in early learning it should be taught.

@robertgreen5123 10 лет назад

Moses is a language ANIMAL!!! "Speak Tamil? No? Ok lets bust out some Hindi then!" Amazing! I've discovered your videos during my journey towards fluency in Finnish and you've given me so much encouragement. The combination of it's (perhaps famous) difficulty and the fact that there aren't many British guys who speak this language meant I thought I was onto a bit of a lost cause. Thank you mate!

@sarban1653 5 лет назад

His Hindi was beyond atrocious, and that's putting it politely.

@laoshu505000 12 лет назад

The only reason that is, is because I've been learning Chinese much longer than Benny has. I'm sure if he puts more time into it, he will get better. He did great for the amount of time he studied the language nonetheless.

@Magic_beans_ 10 лет назад

I love how positive the mall folks' reactions are. What people should take away from that is not that you and Moses are brilliant speakers, because you're not. No, the takeaway is quite the opposite; you had thick accents and limited vocabularies, and _they still appreciated that you were trying to learn their language_. That hurdle of "I'm not good enough yet" exists only in your mind.

@TeddyBearBonfire 10 лет назад

Keep in mind that for many cultures, this isn't a rude question.

@ejravago 10 лет назад

It's rude because it assumes that a person is from another place. But true, people may have an answer, in places where it isn't multicultural or multigenerational, to the question, "Where are you from?" But places like the US, many ethnic minorities are from nowhere else other than America. They are American.

@brittanyf7461 10 лет назад

EJ Ravago I think in some cases however, when he asked the initial "icebreaker" he was able to hear an accent.. a non American Accent which probably aided in his curiosity to know where they may be from. In most cases, you can tell when English is a persons second language.

@ejravago 10 лет назад

Oh yeah, I'm not denying that there are distinguishable accents. What I am suggesting, though, is that it is more polite to ask what their ethnic heritage is rather than what their origin is. That's all. On a side note, even if English is a second language, it does not necessitate one's origin. There are many second and third gen latino Americans who have English as their SECOND language...they are no less American than the next guy.

@jasminecook5903 10 лет назад

I'm American and people ask me where I'm from all the time. You can say that you are from Texas or something like that. He's probably asking because he wants to make sure that they actually speak another language before he justs starts speaking another language to someone. It might be a little more rude or "racist" then asking up front where someone is from.

@irishpolyglot 11 лет назад

Note that Moses does this all the time, and for the afternoon that I did it with him, people do NOT freak out. It's a casual question, asked genuinely and nothing to be afraid of. Everyone was very very happy that we tried. The only less than ideal response was when someone was genuinely busy working, but this had nothing to do with offending them. In my experience Americans never shut up about their heritage, so even if they aren't immigrants they'll proudly offer you their family tree. :)
