- People on the street had a seizure when they suddenly heard me speak their language. I went to Taiwan and talked to people on the streets in different Asian languages and you won't believe this actually happened.

I know everyone wants to do everything on their own with no help, but it won't work well with learning Asian languages. If I only self-studied, I wouldn't even be half as good as I am today. Start taking this seriously with a tutor and learn to read and write here:

and you truly are amazing at these languages, don't ever think you aren't!!
If you seriously want more subscribers, you need to be uploading at least two video per week.
My wife was born in the Philippines. She had a filipina friend who was married to a Japanese guy that was temporarily working at a car parts plant here in the USA. One day we were helping them move and her friend was spinning in circles talking to her husband in japanese, my wife in tagalog and me in english. I was just in awe that she could do that. I really envy people like this that can speak multiple languages. Very impressive! Congratulations on your hard work.
I had a friend who speaks fluent English, Spanish, German and French. We were at an international meeting and she did the same thing without any hesitation. Amazing to watch!
We have a couple that are Amish and Colombian they are deliberately raising their kids trilingual. They knows who speaks which language and use it automatically. Learning a second language makes new neural connections in the brain. These kids are going to be brilliant
Thats kind of normal here in South Africa were almost all people are bi-tri or multi-lingual using multiple languages in a casual conversation is considered normal here.
I,m from NC and i,m not even good at English yet,amazing
I think most of the world is multi-lingual.. Not uncommon for Asians to be fluent in 4+ languages, Europeans to be fluent with 3 or more...
I love these. I went to a "Chinese" restaurant in rural US with a friend who lived in China for many years. She spoke to the hostess and then switched to that young woman's dialect and she burst into tears hearing her own language for many years. It means so much when we make the effort.
aww that's amazing.
I learned how to say "Thank you, have a great day!" (Which was harder than I expected.) and the little old lady at my favorite Chinese restaurant got so excited. Even a little can mean a lot.
Makes me smile...thanx
Now if we could only get them to make the effort, nope, they're here for forty or fifty years and can't be bothered to even make an attempt.
That is amazing. I can only speak norwegian, scottish dialects and a bit of ukrainian.. some spanish....
The mom’s face on the train was priceless! People were so thrilled you could speak to them in their language❤️. How amazing to be able to speak multiple languages!
Thank you so much! I hope you subscribe today and enjoy more of my videos. There’s lots!
@@OrientalPearl You’re a fellow Michigan girl, is that right? Either way, I’m subscribed😁
Yes she was lookin like she was in another dimension or somehting!
She looks like she's in pain. She cannot comprehend what is happening right now. 😲
I don't know what is wrong with me. I can't even watch this because it makes me cry so much. People are wonderful everywhere, such smiles and joy.
Bro when the clips ended and she was just talking to the girl from Oita next to the one writing, the girl was beaming with excitement omg the facial expressions priceless
You have empathy and that's a beautiful thing
Dunno about everywhere lol? Western countries have gone pretty downhill and rude in recent history lol.
You talking to those people on the train is like a chess grandmaster playing multiple games at once! :D
Ha ha, thanks friend. I like the analogy.
I was once talking with my friend in german and he answered in english. It was just more comfortable to vocalize our feelings like this, since we are both fluent in those languages.
But the people around us were slightly confused of what is going on. 😂
My sister and I have been studying Japanese for some time. We both took a course in Akita and she's actually in Tokyo right now for 3 months of study. She's much better at forming sentences than I am so when she speaks to me I also reply in English. @@jensino
@@jensinoLol, that’s awesome!
I hope i learn chinese because i live here and its hard to talked with them😅
I’m not sure what I am more impressed by, your astounding skills at both Chinese and Japanese, or your personality, the way you interact with people. You seem to have the knack of bringing out the best in people.
Her interactions seem a lot more genuine. A lot of polyglots on other channels seem to treat people like props and come across as insincere and just chasing views. Pearl also has a command of the languages beyond party trick level and is actually interested in talking to people.
yup. not doing it to flex but on sum genuine ahh level, that's what u call a sincere person :> @@stevenjon1347
Watching people light up when you speak their native tongues when they expect you to communicate in English just brings so much joy to me, it's so cute I would never get tired of that haha.
The lady on the train from 5:33 was really surprised. It looked like she didn´t breath for several minutes, mouth open... soooo funny. Like your videos a LOT. Keep them comming!
Yes but not because of the Japanese language initially, it was because a foreigner woman spoke to her husband, all kinds of scenarios were going through her head, and Japanese people are very "introverted" so being approached like that was shocking initially... after that, yes, she was also in shock because she spoke both JPN and CN. Oriental Pearl is amazing
Almost everyone goes "surprised Pikachu face" when you start talking to them 😂
That's because she chose the ones who do. The majority of people don't give a fuck - which is preferable tbh.
@@xillonz Sounds like you haven't been to asia.
@@micaKTM1290 Exactly my thought. And that the person is just another negative troll.
@@micaKTM1290 I lived in the very city she is travelling in for half a decade speaking Chinese.
😂
You deserve more than a million, Pearl. 🎉 Thanks for showing us these beautiful places and peoples.
Thank you so much 😀 I hope we get there.
@@OrientalPearlJust a matter of time haha
she’s bilingual barbie fr
Multilingual
She's Bilingual.😅 I am BISEXUAL 😂
Wow, you should be working for the US Department of State, not just because of your awesome language skills, but because of your ability to connect to the individuals in these nations. I speak three languages myself, but it is not an easy process. You make it seem effortless with your excellent rapport and grasp of dialects.
Ha ha that was my plan originally and now I’m making CZcams videos full time.
@@OrientalPearl Japanese, Chinese? Try to learn Polish. ;)
@@OrientalPearl Do both. The world needs you and your skills.
her chinese really isnt that impressive lol
Yep, She has controlled the tones so she sound like a native. I have seen so many western people speak fluent Chinese but hen they talk I know right away Chinese is not native language for them.
all her videos is full of positive vibes
As all things should've been. Sad, the world is going through sh*t rn.
Agree😊
I agree, it's fun and lovely. When she speaks to people and they are happy, it is wonderful.
Oriental Pearl is respected everywhere she goes. I am as impressed as everyone she encounters ❤
All her videos are full of positive vibes 😊
It's so unifying to see Chinese and Japanese in the same place, people talking to each other past the language barrier because of you :)
Well, that's Taiwan for you. I bet you could also find situations like that in the Philippines. They are very mixed over there, almost as big of a mix as we have in the U.S. And I hear Singapore is similar.
@@jamescurfman3284 Filipinos are racist
Yeah, probably more commoon in Taiwan, than on China mainland...
@@thefantasyreview8709The Chinese will never forgive Japan. And I’m afraid, in Korea it’s similar.
And the sad past history.
I love watching you interact with the local people. You are so kind and complimentary to them ❤️
I love your enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing these recordings.
You are such a positive representative of America. I love seeing everyone chat with you, and your speech is so kind and encouraging to everyone. I wish that everyone in the world could chat like this with each other. ❤️
Awww, that is so sweet of you to say.
Well said, and I agree! Thank you @OrientalPearl.
The interaction at the Chinese shop at 8:00 was my favourite in the video. The woman seems beaming with happiness and surprise that you speak not only her language but her husbands. It’s unbelievably sweet.
I’m glad that you stuck around until the end to see that part.
Just in the video? Then please give me some of your favorite moments in other videos :)
It was my favorite part too! It's amazing how warm and open the Asian cultures are. I normally associate this with Americans especially (just being willing to talk to strangers on the street randomly haha, as opposed to France where they think you're a psycho if you talk to a stranger on the street), so it was so nice to see this as a part of another culture!
Luar biasa, skill bahasanya epic. Love from 🇮🇩
She was a very sweet person.
A true inspiration to all. I wish you lots of subscribers and fortune. Thank you x
I really appreciate that. I hope you enjoy more of my videos today.
It's so cool to watch the expression on people's faces when you speak their complicated language. It's also really interesting that you have to (in most cases) initiate the conversation as they naturally assume you won't understand them. Brilliant 👍.
It's amazing how people open up to you when you speak their language. I'm Dutch and I've been living in Peru for the last two years, learning some Spanish. When you're in another country, the locals will respect you more (and scam you less) if you speak their language, for sure.
¡Buenas noches desde Perú!
That’s awesome that you’re learning Spanish!
@@OrientalPearlThank you so much! Living in another part of the world and in another culture is awesome. But honestly? Learning how to speak Japanese and Chinese, even in multiple dialects in five years, now that is really awesome. But ok, having a Japanese partner helps a lot, I should find myself a Peruvian girlfriend haha!
I went to Peru to study (experience) all the master plants (medicine plants, teacher plants), this by doing the masterplant dietas and ceremonies. I'm doing this to heal myself, to become a better person and to become a maestro de las plantas, a teacher, myself.
I believe everybody should travel in the world or stay abroad for at least a couple of years, as it's very good for the overall development of the individual too.
@@Shamanicuswell done sir haha🥰🤗
@@Shamanicus Agreed. People really should learn to get along with other people both at home and from other parts of the world. Earth would be a much a better place now...
@@jamescurfman3284Thank you James, you perfectly understand my point! If I ever go back to The Netherlands I'm sure that my perspective on foreigners and immigrants has changed big time, just by being a foreigner myself for a while and actually encountering racism. Here in Peru I am the gringo, it's an interesting experience. Sometimes I just smile and say: Oye, tal vez yo soy un gringo, pero no estoy estupido (hey, I maybe a white guy, but I'm not stupid), that breaks the ice many times 😄
it's impressive how you can switch between multiple languages in no time without malfunctioning
it's impressive for a mono lingual person
Dude. I only know my native tongue (Spanish) and above-average English, and it gets a bit hard to switch between both when speaking. Wouldn't even imagine how hard it'd be to switch between more!
Yes,being able to switch is a totally separate skill in my opinion. Even harder is keeping track of who speaks what. Sooooooo ..... manymis-switched mis-switched and talked to people in the wrong language!
You are amazing❤ thank you for taking me along on your adventures 😊
I really enjoyed listening to the conversation on the train. I think it's rare to see that kind of natural, flowing conversation on youtube. The videos I've seen on youtube are either interviews or slow-teaching videos, and not really a spontaneous conversation like you would see out on the street (or train!). ありがとございます！
I love how you can switch from one language to another so seamlessly. :)
I agree, it's so impressive
I NEVER GET TIRED OF SEEING THE SURPRIZED LOOKS ON PEOPLES FACES WHEN YOU SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGES!! I also love how its such an ice breaker too!
I worry a bit that your head will explode with all that language learning 😮. It is amazing to see and hear your proficiency and your social skills.
You will stay younger for longer, and probably ward off dementia, by being multilingual😁
It's a great feeling to meet one of the few people who bothered to learn your language, especialy when it's so different from your own. My first language is Dutch (also a Germanic language like English, so not *that* hard to learn for a lot of people) and will always compliment the ones who took the effort to learn even the basics of our language, it's a great sign of respect.
I have no idea what kind of accent you have in Mandarin, but to me it sounds fairly fluent. Very impressive. (I gave up on Cantonese after a year... but perhaps by watching a bunch of your video's I may get motivated to pick it up again!) 🙂🙃
I am a Chinese person. After watching this video you posted, I am very grateful for your help in promoting our traditional Chinese culture to the world. I wish you a happy life in Taiwan and you always a beautiful ambassador for the dissemination of traditional Chinese culture!
Aww, thank you for your sweet words 😊
I believe as diverse as Americans are this would be considered normal for us.. Or well to me it is. So, I'm cereous, doesn't people study different languages over there? People over here studies all different type of languages so to see this it would be normal to us. Is this rare to you all?
@@OrientalPearl I can't speak their language but obviously you surprised them, and they complimented you and said you was amazing. So, if they said it then I agree with them! Awesome!!!
Isn't China and Taiwan two different countries?
@@e-milk1211 Sure
What I like is that she’s a very happy, friendly person, and the language skills she possesses are just incredible. What a goodwill ambassador from the United States.
Wow, oriental pearl, the confidence of your being able to switch from speaking Japanese to Chinese on the train, is really admirable. What a really uplifting video to watch. There are so many lovely people about on your travels.
Wowowow, your multilingual skills and your channel are amazing. Brought tears to my eyes. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Here’s to 1 Million Subscribers before the end of the year! We can do it, anything is possible. It’s a joy you were able to go to Taiwan. I never knew so many Japanese visited and even went to University in Taiwan. I hope he’s successful on his studies and the girl too in Seattle. It’s interesting how you always seem to find language learners like you wherever you go. The law of attraction I suppose? 😅 I hope you enjoyed your trip and all the memories you made along the way 💜
Thank you Wushaw! I’m glad to have to as the channel moderator too. It’s more of an honorary position. I won’t make you work lol
@@OrientalPearl Thank you so much! I simply love your channel and everything you’re about 💜
thanks for reminder
Haha cool
Dutch guy in Peru? Be careful bro that didn’t go so well for the last Dutch guy, Joran
I do have to admit when someone is at work and they hear their native language, it is kinda of off guard
Really love the way you interact. The way you learn a language is to truly converse with the locals. It's motivating.
Bless that woman who said, "You're so amazing!" What a lovely thing to say.
What a lovely and intelligent young woman who not only speaks these difficult languages and dialects for goodness sake but is also up on her geography. I wish there were more people like her.
I have zero interest in learning any new languages but i still watch your videos because it makes people smile and it makes me smile knowing people like you bring people around the world closer by just speaking their language and making them feel good. You, Xiaoma, and Laoma. The only multi language speaking people I watch just for the specific type of content you 3 provide.
I’m glad you’re enjoying these videos even though you aren’t studying any languages.
I love this video! I love watching you interact with the people with so much warmth and love!❤❤❤❤❤
congrats to hitting your 1 mil. always love the videos
I always feel like people who can speak multiple languages have a super power--especially those who've learned some languages from Asia that would appear to be much more difficult than learning spanish for instance. It's very impressive!
ikr its like you change into a different way of thinking and understanding the little aspects of people, it's hard to explain. Like you're able to open up to people and have them open up to u
When you're learning languages, your brain starts making connections between them. The first extra language you learn is a bit more difficult than the subsequent languages, because technically you have to "rewire" your brain into it. But after that it becomes a bit easier. Of course it's easier learning related languages, so if for example you learn spanish, it'll be a piece of cake to learn italian/portuguese/romanian/french etc. If you learn a germanic language, like swedish for example, you'll easily jump to danish/norwegian/dutch afterwards. There is a challenge learning a language that is completely unrelated to the ones you speak, but then you just do a bit of rewiring again. I have only taken japanese lessons a few years ago, and it didn't seem that difficult. What was difficult with it, is that I had to shake off the mentality of other languages. Like, in my native language, there are tenses for almost every single moment in time that you might be talking about, while in japanese they only have 2 tenses, and their continuous forms. It was hard to get my mind around the fact that I don't have to be too specific. Once you get that mentality working though, it becomes easier. Writing was a bitch, but oh well ;)
Polyglots don't have super powers, they have discipline, curiosity and determination. Everyone can do it, at their own pace. Don't get discouraged about learning a new language, it's always very rewarding when you get to use it - even if it is to shock the people around you :P
Not as difficult as learning more words and concepts in the same language. And you learn more about the world too.
learning spanish is impresive as well, is a hard language also, find it funny you use it as an example of easy :P
apparently english is one of the more difficult ones to learn, because we have so man nonsensical rules and meanings for words that are spelled and pronounced the same. the concept that the sentence "buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo" is grammatically correct is tough to wrap your head around even as a native english speaker. can only imagine the brain chaos that could cause to somebody trying to learn english.
You should be idolised for showcasing your talent and inspiring other people. Any praise you get is well deserved. I really enjoy your videos
You will for sure get 1 million followers. How amazing the gift you have with languages and even the calligraphy. Wow! Happy New Year!
What a beautiful soul ! Blessings for 1 million subs inc
Your channel is unique and much more interactive / educational than the others I've seen. Here's to hoping you get those 1 million subscribers and others donate to help you keep going as well.
Wow, thank you so much. You’re one of only a handful of people that’s used this feature on my channel. I really appreciate your help in paying for the travel expenses with filming these video.
@@OrientalPearl You're the best, AnMing. I wish you all the bet luck in the world, and only do as much as you can do. If you end up just showing "hey this is me getting off work" - You will make it interesting, because, that is you!
Oriental Pearl gets an average of $5 per thousand views according to my social media geek son. Some of her videos are hitting in excess of a million views. That equates per million at $5,000 PER video. I'm in the wrong business.
@@stevenhull5025 I've lost at least 3 channels in the last 6 months that just stopped making content without warning.. Pearl is actually the most transparent youtuber i've seen when I did a binge watch of her videos when i became fan earlier last year (i think) and she actually explained how the revenue works - this is why so many YTubers are doing patreon or doing the donate buttons nowadays. She is in no way hitting those numbers and that was when she was doing the "its so shocking" videos, and had more viewers. Most ppl hate YT and use Ad Blockers and some of us have subscriptions. The only reason I started subscribing to channels and making sure i watched an entire YT all the way through was because Pearl explained the ins/outs on one of her vids. CZcams doesnt pay if the entire vid isnt watched; or sometimes if an ad is skipped; or if the people watch but aren't subscribed; you get a diff amt if your watch number vs subscribed and watched ratio is different;-- BASICALLY anything for google to not pay. I rarely donate, but I've done it like 4 or 5 times in the last 2 yrs after noticing my faves have less content or not coming back at all. (and even when one of my favorite CZcamsrs was getting 3 mill views 8 yrs ago, he would show his check, it was only about 1400-2000)
i wish I could give as well. you are expressing a dream of mine.
As a Hispanic-American that loves Asian cultures, your videos bring so much positive energy. I have met a few Chinese, Japanese, and Korean families in my line of work, and truly have loved them. They are wonderful people.
You obviously have a gift for languages & switch from one to another really easily. Amusing to see the people’s reaction when you speak in their language + write.😊
You are totally amazing, what a linguist! An inspiration to us all, am learning Japanese now.
Truly impressive how well you speak each language and how quickly you can interchange them. I've been trying to learn Korean for about a year and my brain is just not having it lol.
You have to put a lot of time into the language. I did 20 hours a week for Chinese and Japanese effort a few years straight.

Thank you! I hope you subscribe and enjoy more of my videos today.
I believe it’s your accent when speaking the languages that amazes everyone ❤️
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I hope you subscribe today and enjoy more of my videos.
Her japanese accent is trash... not sure about the chinese accent because im not that great myself but doesn't sound like a chinese person.
Okay, I don't know how this showed up in my feed, but I was SO impressed by your language skills and overall personality that I was forced to subscribe. Keep up the good work, hope you hit your one million soon.
Thank you for subscribing. I hope you watch many more of my videos today. You’ll love them.
You are amazing 👏🏻
Glad to see a video of you in Taiwan. I live here for almost 15 years. Always impressive to see your language skills
I'm a big fan of Xiaoma so naturally CZcams recommended you to me. Love these interactions. It's beautiful seeing their reactions.
Fun video. I'm always so amazing at how you're not just able to speak multiple languages, but how good you are at having random conversations with strangers.
They often seem not just impressed by your language skills but excited to speak it with you.
I think thats because you are so genuinely friendly and respectful.
Awww, thank you.
100%
I have been following your channel for so long but this video with your interaction with the Chinese/Japanese couple in the supermarket was special. Never stop creating amazing content like this it is so inspiring and great to watch it always makes me smile!!
I’m glad that you enjoyed that part so much. I just filmed that little clip 2 days ago.
New subscriber; been to Japan several times but only know the polite basics. .Wish our school systems in the US had more/earlier emphasis on other languages. You're a huge inspiration!
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on the Internet. I need to learn. They say it’s never too late. 🙏🏽❤️
Wow, that’s quiet the compliment. Thank you so much.
it's always so much fun to see you switch between languages so seamlessly. That transition between japanese, english and chinese was really impressive :D
love your videos
Glad you enjoy it!
those people are so polite and gentle! I'm always impressed at videos like this one. Your language skill is top notch!
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you liked this video. Please enjoy some more of my videos today and subscribe.
Second video I have seen of you and you got me hooked!
Subbed and I sure look forward to explore your channel!
So much nice creativity and true positive vibe.
Good work! 👍🙂
You are SO skilled. I struggle to learn one language! Compliments to you and your amazing mind ❤
You'll definitely get to 1 million soon, Anming! Thank you for all your hard work on all of the videos.
Ha ha, it’s been an uphill battle the last two months.
One day when your channel will be huge you’ll remember all the struggles with fake channels and not doing the videos you really love but it will be worth it in the end. Just keep going and being real and you’ll achieve what you really strive for!
I hope we can all look back on this time and laugh. September and October were pretty hard.
You are single-handedly improving the image of Americans as ethnocentric in China and Japan. Kudos!
I always enjoy these videos because always happy to see people showing love and respect to people from other parts of the world to showing them respect by learning their language.
as a fellow American. you are pretty amazing learning all these eastern asian languages. it's pretty hard from my perspective, but anyhow i give you my sub and like. thanks for the great content. I love to see the native people's reaction seeing a westerner speak their language. it's priceless
Thank you so much for subscribing! I’ll have more videos like this coming soon.
I love this just going around talking to people. Its so heart warming to see peoples face light up when they hear you speak. Learning another language is beautiful. I hope you get to 1 mill soon you deserve it. ❤
I love these videos, Chinese seems so hard, I speak a little Spanish, and a little Arabic, and Swahili. I am also from Detroit(Richmond/armada now but born and raised in the D) I learned Arabic from friends I grew up with, as you know Dearborn has the highest population of Arabs outside the Middle East. I learned Swahili in Tanzania. Traveling through Africa I was amazed at how many languages most people speak over there. It’s common for most Africans to speak 5 or more languages, and their English is always so good as well🤙😎
Nice, L heard Arabian is very hard. I am Chinese and I feel French is much hard than English. But I am really enjoy to talk with my neighbors in French😅
I loved this so much thank you for taking me on an adventure ! New subscriber :)
Listening and seeing the people’s reactions is bringing me such joy! I’m smiling ear to ear 😊 Thank you so much ❤

I recently discovered your channel, and I watch your videos all of the way through.
BIG 👍👍👍 to your resilience and hardwork...Liked , subscribed and watched the whole video.
Great video! Really entertaining to see people’s faces light up, when they hear their language(s!) coming from you.
You’re a wonderful ambassador for your home country. Thank you!
Dude that is so amaizing love it !!! subbed of course !!! Keep going young lady !
I need mroe positive videos in my feed and your personality is infectious. Subscribed!
I think you deserve the compliments you are getting..You are amazing speaking their languages so fluently.
Im rather bad at chinese, pretty good at japanese and really good at korean... I get compliments in reverse order... the most in chinese because people want me to feel good and the least in korean because it is amazing for about three seconds and then they treat me like a korean and I never hear about my speaking ability again.
It's crazy what white people think they deserve as compliments for doing the bare minimum of speaking a different language. I've never seen an asian person expect this kind of reaction.
I love the way you do these videos. They’re so wholesome and it really shows the cultural and social benefits of traveling and learning other languages.
I wont be able to afford to leave my country any time soon, so i get to live vicariously through you a little bit lol
Also shows benefits of just being personable. No need to ever be a jerk to strangers. Just be nice, keep the mood light and fun. Everybody likes to smile. :)
Congrats,!! you see, people really appreciate when you visit and speak their language. I always tried to do this, when visiting different countries and speaking their language, even a few words to ask or thank people !!
This was so fun to watch, I really enjoyed this and yes I subscribed 🙂
this is the kind of superpower i wish i had..to be able to speak in so many languages is something else.
You can learn too!
Just start with one! There are plenty of free beginner videos & websites. You can also check the resources at your local library.
My public library card gives me access to free language learning classes online (sometimes they switch around which one they offer, but they've had Rosetta Stone, Mango, & maybe others.
If your library doesn't have something like that, you can suggest it to them for the future.
I haven't studied seriously, but now & then I will try to learn a little, so I know a few words or phrases in various languages. Not really enough to say anything -- but it's still fun. And I've learned a little Korean writing (Hangul). It's a lot easier than Chinese and Japanese, since it uses alphabet characters & once you learn them, you can sound out the word, just like Roman alphabet languages.
Always so fun to watch people's reactions to you speaking their language!
this woman must be BRILLIANT!!! switching languages like that and being able to read them and oh wow!
I jost love how their faces turn to smiles, when you start talking to them. Really nice.
I stumbled onto your video for the first time, I am amazed. My wife is Icelandic, I am Japanese. She speaks about 4 Nordic languages fluently and ended adding Japanese with ease. Myself, I struggle learning Icelandic and gave up. I don't know if it's a gender thing or perhaps geo-cultural but some people find languages easier than others. You however are on a different level, almost witchcraft!
That’s so amazing that you’re learning Icelandic. What a cool language!
witchcraft is crazy 👽🗿
Study Old English and German so you can get a feel for how similar all the Germanic languages really are.
Here's a quick and dirty trick. The Normans invaded England in 1066. Think of all the things that already existed in England at that time. Those words will be pretty much the same in all the Germanic languages today. Also, sometimes less common English words will be the more common ones in the other languages. Example. You don't live in a place, you DWELL in a place. another word for bottle is flask. Start reading the history of the English language. Try reading Shakespeare. Another tactic is to look up Anglish, that's English with all the Latin borrowings removed.
@@ak5659 You are 100% spot on. I did not know the history linking old English to Icelandic (North Germanic) until I googled after reading your reply. This perfectly coincides with my basic Icelandic that I have learnt from my wife. Words like "kald" = cold and "fisk" = fish etc. I find English an easy language to learn as I studied it in school in Japan, when I finished university, I worked abroad in Australia and UK (England), I guess the birthplace of the English language. Thank you for the advice, I shall try reading more old English as a precursor. I really envy people that can speak multiple languages so easily, such as Oriental Pearl and most likely, yourself.
Thank you for doing this. I cried, seeing how happy people are to hear you speak their language. It is so special to see and hear.
I love your videos!! I love the reactions of the people you speak to.
You are amazing! Languages are so connecting, especially from different cultures! Jouzu desu ne!
I’m from the Netherlands, a small country in Europe. And because our country is so small, most people speak multiple languages. For us abroad is very close! Almost everyone speaks English, most people in the east speak German as well. After that French is spoken by a lot of people.
I like the Netherlands.
You mean you butcher the language of love? This is fluent. 😂
Something even crazier is the amount of dialects there... over 450 distinguishable dialects 😅
Funny that you felt a need to add a description for Netherlands! 😂
@@OrientalPearl I liked the Netherlands until they voted far right.
That lady on the train is completely mind blown 😂
It’s as if she saw a Shiny Pokémon ✨
Always so amazed by someone who can speak multiple languages so well. Wish I was a linguist and could pick it up just as quickly.
Outstanding Ambassador. So interesting to see their reactions
Hoping you will get to 1 million subs! I love the interaction you had in the store, the lady from Fujian just looked at you with such pure admiration and pride which is so incredibly wholesome 🥰
I admire folks who're multilingual SO much! Congrats for studying and learning these languages - reading/speaking/writing - which is so much harder and more complicated than just speaking them. I do find it amusing and fun when folks are stunned that you speak the language, but you know how most Westerners are when abroad, so I can't entirely blame them for the assumption. However, most of the folks you showed seemed to be very gracious and cheery about the surprise. Nice video, thanks for sharing! Think I'm going to subscribe, too. 😁👍🏻
That is amazing thank you for letting me watch 👍.
You're such a sweetheart. So open and light hearted literally bringing joy to people who stereo type assuming you only speak english lol. Great job unifying the world and don't stop !
