Go to the Oceania Continent. Visit Suva (Fiji), Noumea (Nouvelle Caladonie OSST of France), Christchurch (New Zealand) , Katherine (Northern Territories, Australia), Port Vila (Vanuatu). I love that Continent. Hope to be there soon and forever.
I'm from the US. I started my University studies at l'Université Laval (Saint-Foy Québec). I lived in a couple of Countries in Europe, as a Teen. Mexico (Puerto Peñaco) is a gem too. Love it there.
Bogotá, Colombia
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Everyone feels like a main charecter in NYC.
Haha so true!
I get a different vibe of NYC everyone is just minding their business no one really cares about you
When you go to places is just business
It gives you suffocating freedom.
If you compared to places where everyone is more sociable and open to conversations.
It feels kinda lonely I New York City
@@sakuraa2008 I see it as both. We mind our business when it is appropriate or are trying to get someplace (takes time to travel around such a large area!).. but many people will also strike up random conversations when the timing is right or opportunity is presented! I love both & live it every day!!
@@karalynne7616 exactly! New Yorkers are a social creature; it comes with riding the trains and brushing shoulders with so many different people. I moved here a year ago and never wanna leave!
I remember when I first moved to NYC, walking down Canal St, I heard primarily English, then Italian & Spanish, then Mandarin & Cantonese, all in the span of 1 mile. So many different languages and cultures; very much shows how special it is here
Actually now that I think of it, I'm not sure I got any Italian speakers in this video! Surprising, because I know that's a big part of the culture in nyc.
@@TheNewTravel previous generations are aging, their kids usually don't speak Italian
And of His (Allah's) signs is the creation of the heavens & the earth and the diversity of your languages & your colours. {Quran}
:)
'Allah does not look at your bodies, nor at your appearance or wealth, but rather He looks at your HEARTS & ACTIONS.' {Prophetic Words}
@@michaelrabich9635 Yeah, and due to lower percentage of immigrants from Western Europe, and their kids not speaking their previous languages, languages such as Italian, Irish, German and Dutch are declining in the city for example
I speak Cantonese at home, used to speak to my wife, who's now my ex-wife, in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Vietnamese. I also used three of the four languages/dialects as part of my previous job. I used to interpret in Spanish for Chinese coworkers. I learned some Norwegian Bokmål as part of my trip to Norway. I learned Greek and Spanish in high school. I also learned some French while apartment -sitting for my grandparents and saw my grandfather's French grammar books. I was also somehow able to connect to a French music channel from Canada on my grandparents' TV way back when. I also learned some Tagalog when a high school classmate brought a Tagalog grammar book and showed me in school, so l learned some words. I also learned some Russian as part of some jobs. Had one high school substitute teacher who taught us Russian and another high school substitute teacher who taught us French. I also learned some African words from some people I worked with from Ghana.
I can speak Belarusian, Russian, Polish, English and I learn Swedish. It's so cool to be able to understand and speak different languages, it's like living several lives in one
My native is Russian, I can speak English, Italian, and now learning Turkish. Iyi sanslar!
if you don't speak spanish you miss out on the good life
@@going_to_the_river_NevaBravo bro,non sono molte le persone che sanno parlare l'italiano quindi ben fatto🗿
i really agree that metaphor, “it’s like living several lives in one”.
it’s so amazing experience to have several identities through language
@@going_to_the_river_Nevamy native is turkish but im learning russian and i know english dutch and arabic also. Russian is such a beautiful language!
It's amazing how all these people is very articulate with great social communication skill
I felt very lucky to have met so many interesting people!
I notice this about New Yorkers. People say they aren't friendly or personable but my (limited) experience with them is that they communicate well.
Of course ! They are New Yorkers ! 🩵
Incredible how Spanish is much more important than I thought in New York. Even that it is my native language.
It really is the second language there! Common to see Spanish on signs around the city as well
Spanish is very prevalent in New York. Many of the ads around the city are written in Spanish.
@@jamesjohnson1050Not only in new york if you go to San Diego and texas you become crazy haha
@@TheNewTravel - I live in Boston and Spanish is prevalent here as well. Prior to living in Boston, I lived in LA and there, one was more likely to hear Spanish or Korean (I lived adjacent to Koreatown), rather than English. While living in LA, I had neighbors from Russia, and I was able to speak some Russian with them. (I had three semesters of Russian at a university, and was able to use basic Russian, which is now mostly gone. Surprisingly I can still read Cyrillic, but very, very slowly.)
Me gusta aprender espanol
slavic languages are so underrated...if you knew one of them, you would understand all other slavic languages 70-80%
Agreed! I am learning Russian and even though I’m at a super beginner level, I can spot similarities between it and other slavic languages such as Ukranian. Very interesting to me since as a native speaker of English, there isn’t really a closely related language (I suppose Dutch maybe?)
@@hearingninja Dutch and German are related to English.
факты
west slavic at least
bullshit. i speak Serbian and ich don't understand albania, russia, polish etc
As a native French speaker, I'm very surprised by the fact that so many people can speak French in NYC, it's very interesting
I noticed that as well when I visited.
Yes, because if you knew which they were you could pretend not to understand them.
So many learned french, but don't have occasions for practicing. It seems declining.
they speak very little french for sure, but they are proud way too alot. this is just a broken amurican culture and education.
Я вас удивлю но даже в России знают францкзский и изучают его. Даже я немного знаю. 😊
i am a native New Yorker and am a professional translator. I am fluent in 5 languages and speak bits and pieces of another 10 or 12.
That said, I have all the local merchants in my neighborhood (Brooklyn Heights) trained to teach me new phrases in their languages (when they are other than English).
I do the same at my gym where I work out every day and which is exceptionally diverse.
I love the linguistic diversity of NYC!
May I ask what languages you speak? Also, I have always heard that translators get paid very little.. Is that true?
@@Dah42 все о деньгах🤣🤣🤣👍
@@Dah42 YES! you can make good money but it means that you have to work your ass off, and I mean it!
Is it still worth is becoming a translator in the future ?
What languages you speak?
8:00 I think Danielle is the type of person who says I don't speak language X but then is able to hold a conversation in that language just fine.
I didn't hear a word she said. I was busy admiring her dog with beautiful eyes 😍😍🥰
Back in the 1930's you would have heard alot of Yiddish spoken in NYC like you hear Spanish today.
And that's why New Yorkers use so many Yiddish phrases!
Still today! And even more - it is spreading out around.
@@arielfidel how?
And german. Yiddish is an eastern European dialect. Of german. Schleppen...
I think you make people feel heard, which helps bring out their voice in these short clips. Some cities I'd recommend : Beirut, Marseille, Sarajevo
Sarajevo was a really good experience.
Yes, Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka
Marseille language: French, Arabic and Gypsy King
@@blanco7726so true ! Especially Algerian Arabic
The NY accent is alive & well buddy..
Come thru to Staten Island. We're holdin it down 🇮🇹 🇺🇲
Still alive in Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Manhattan!
"Tawlk, "Cawfee". ..
Yup. South Brooklyn and S.I still got it lol.
Your channel is so simple in nature, but it becomes quite interesting to watch, and see all the different people going about the cities on any given day. I like it.
About 35 years ago, before I started traveling the world, I visited NYC with a friend from rural North Carolina. I was amazed by the many languages we could hear while riding the subways and that no one looked up as all the different words, and tones and rhythms came out. It was cleary nothing out of the ordinary for anyone. BUT WHEN my deeply Southern accented friend spoke up everyone on the train looked up from their newspapers & books (this was a pre-cellphone era) to see who was talking this strange language.
Пхахаха))))))) очень смешно рассказал)))))
jaajjajjaja muy buena historia. Saludos desde Chile, aquí tambien tenemos nuestro propio acento sureño, aunque en español.
Hahahah, totally would still happen now!
That was funny
This is easily my favourite video about New York on CZcams. So easy-going and smooth, I feel like it really represents what the city is about
I made it to the end and really love this video. The things these people say that they love about New York are the things I also love about it, especially the diversity. As someone who grew up hearing two languages, it was my goal as I grew up to learn as many as I could. Like the lady toward the end, unfortunately I don't have a chance to practice so I've lost much of the languages I learned. It was great to see this. Thank you for making this video!
The Brooklyn accent has drastically declined, but if you go to certain parts of southern Brooklyn like Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, Bay Ridge, Bath Beach, and Dyker Heights, you can still come across the Brooklyn accent speakers especially the Italian and Jewish communities. Northern Brooklyn, forget about it, the Brooklyn accent is all totally gone in those sections as they were replaced largely by African American, Caribbean, Latino, and Hipster populations; except in some parts of Williamsburg you may still come across some Brooklyn accent speakers from some of the remaining Italian and Jewish populations.
I never understood why it’s call the Brooklyn accent, they just call it the Italian American accent because that’s main people who had that accent.
@@edbrown4800 sorry but it wasn’t just Italian. heavily influenced by Jewish and Irish and a few others. You listen to a Jewish kid from a blue collar neighbourhood in Brooklyn 30/40 years ago….
@@weekender8839 I said main people.
@Andrés Fernández people don't call it the Italian American accent because the dialect was just as widely spoken in Blue Collar areas of Brooklyn/NYC with Jewish and Irish communities. I would respectfully disagree that it was mainly Italian.
Yes i would have liked if the guy gave an example of the Brooklyn accent, for those of us outside the US!
growing up in the NYC area i never realized how linguistically diverse it was relative to the rest of the USA. It was only when I went away to university out of state and used certain slang words that are quite common back home that I found that out, as many of them weren't necessarily slang words but just loan words from other language groups in the NY area that became slang words.
@Finnbar I"m black but I use a lot of Yiddish words LOL! LIke "kvetch" etc....
I’m so grateful to share earth with these people. So many different cultures that I get to experience, so cool
Great to see you’ve visited my city. Yes, Spanish is strong here, not as much as in Miami or El Paso but it still holds a significant presence. There are neighborhoods where it’s spoken more than English like Washington Heights, Inwood and Corona. NYC is 28% Hispanic/Latino and about a quarter of the city speaks it.
Miami is 60% hispanic but that does not mean they all speak spanish.
That's the misconception people have about Miami.
@@AlexNightOwl76 I read that Miami is 73% Hispanic/Latino and that 70% of Miami people speak Spanish. I’ve been down there a couple of times and that’s the impression I got. Many people don’t speak English and reply in Spanish if you speak English to them. In NYC, Spanish is prevalent only in the neighborhoods I mentioned above and even then, many Latinos are more inclined to speaking English. In Miami, Spanish is preferred over English even when people know how to speak it. It’s somehow part of the city’s culture.
@@jsphat81 I have worked in companies where you can clearly see the hispanic heritage in them. None of them speak to me in spanish nor I hear them speaking spanish. It depends where you go.
I live in Broward County but I work in Miami Dade County. Spanish is probably preferred by old people that came from Cuba and never tried to learn.
I have friends living in Minneapolis and they only go out with hispanics.
Anyways, just my opinion.
Brilliant video! I am a native New Yorker, grew up only speaking English, though I can read some Hebrew, and studied Latin in high school. In college, I started learning Russian and have worked many years in Central Asia in the former Soviet Union (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan). Therefore, besides Russian, I learned intermediate Farsi (Persian)/Dari/Tajik (all very similar) and at one point I spoke intermediate Uzbek (Turkic language). When I was first learning Russian years ago, I used to stop people on the street in Manhattan if I heard them speaking Russian, so as to practice. Now, you can hear Russian on every street. However, I do stop people if I hear them speaking Tajik or Farsi, and if Uzbek or Turkish.
as-salamu aleicum bro
You are so talented
So basically you speak Soviet...
@@eliasziad7864 English, Latin, Hebrew, Turkish are not Soviet 🤣
Uzbek is my first language but unfortunately I have a hard time writing it because I moved from there when I was 7
These people are all beautiful no mater what language they speak. The video reminds once again that we are all the same on this planet and i like it. Привет из Барселоны.

Love this series! Keep up the good work!
Nice upload. Great interview to a strangers asking them how many languages they can speak. Interesting to watch till the end. Tnx4sharing.
Beautifully done Dan! I partly grew up in New York City and can agree about the amazing diversity of people. I then came back and earned a graduate degree from New York University. Wonderful city and school.
This has definitely been my favorite so far. Would love to see Chicago on one of these one day. Heard there’s a lot of Polish, Ukrainians, and other Eastern Europeans in Chicago.
I've lived in Chicago for the last 33 years, and I've met many Eastern Europeans here. Chicago was attracting Eastern Europeans 130 years ago. However, Spanish is-by far-the most spoken foreign language in Chicago. This even includes a decent number of Spaniards.
@@JdeC1994 definitely the polish are still here but they’re dying out partially.
Theres only Russians there.
We still here, but moved to many nearby suburbs instead of traditional Chicago enclaves
Little interruption here: Poland is in central Europe. Actually it's right in the middle, so not Eastern Europe
this video is produced beautifully dude thank you for putting out such quality stuff
Thanks for making a wholesome, positive video. So many travel-tubers have discovered that trashing a place with overtly nit picky negative comments and doom-splaning gives them views that it's rare to see content that it's just focus on what makes a city a city: the people.
sou do Brasil,muito bom ver um brasileiro nos representando !
Achei!
Verdade👏
Por que muitos brasileiros sempre dizem que falam espanhol quando na verdade só entendem e nem tudo? Entender e falar são duas coisas diferentes.
É por que brasileiro é burro; e por causa de entender 6/10 palavras de frases simples, como comprimentos, acha que consegue entender tudo.
0:38 e o cara tem uma barba linda! 😅
I speak English, Lithuanian, Russian and Spanish. I live in Spain, and what happens that when I go abroad to a country I don't know the language of, something mixes up in my brain and I start using a weird mix of Spanish and some Russian words even if Russian was never the language I used a lot. It's a blessing and a curse at the same time. :D
I’d love to hear your Runish. I mean Spassian! “Por favor, сука блять»
@@Nevesomo 🤣
Love what you do…interesting, entertaining and makes me happy to see the variety of individuals.
I speak Mongolian, Russian and English and live in New York City. I think it’s a unique place because of a diversity 😊
The (language / racial) 'diversity' of New York is FAR from 'unique'.
Do you understand the meaning of the word 'unique'?!
@@trueaussie9230do you understand the meaning of the word “diversity” ?
Did you grow up in Mongolia when it was a soviet satellite state? Forgive my curiosity, but that’s such a specific combination of languages that it instantly reminds me of the fact that many of the older Mongolians (from that time period) I am acquainted with went to Russian schools in Ulaanbaatar and thus are fluent in both Russian and Mongolian
@@australialife2153
The language and racial diversity in Aus is equal to, if not greater than, that of New York city.
Ergo New York city is NOT "a unique place because of a (language / racial) diversity".
I would expect 'australialife' to know that.
Do YOU understand the meaning of the word 'diversity'?!
That's interesting. How did you learn Russian? As far as I know, they don't speak Russian in Mongolia
I love NYC beautiful city❤ I work there Every single day since I got here, I’m really Grateful with this country ❤❤❤
Very interesting, and people are cooperative answering your questions. One can feel the city
I've been to New York Yity only once, in February 2001. What surprised me - it was the New York City you see in movies and series, and it really was the same. I kind of felt like being home and was in awe. Such a long time ago! I'd love to visit again one day. Btw, I went from there to Montreal by bus to see a friend :) Loved Montreal too! but it was very cold in February, the river was frozen. Come to Berlin, my home at the moment!
Ich liebe Berlin!
Hope you come back to NY! I was born there and lived there as a child. When I go back I can instantly feel the place. My feet know it's my place. And NY can be ANYONE's place, that's the beauty.
7 months late
🐢can’t wait to go back to nyc. This video encouraged me to study harder, I speak 3 languages and it’s amazing how you get to connect with other people and learn about other cultures through language 💗
Love this. New York seems scary to an outsider (me) but you met a lot of interesting people that make it seem less scary.
Such an enjoyable thing to watch! And inspirational.
I’ve just subscribed because this was a wonderful video to share how diverse and interesting the human race is. I love languages as well and hearing the little snippets of spoken languages is wonderful. I like the surprises too, I.e. hearing about the skydiving. I love guessing which languages people speak before they say them too. 😁👍🏻 What a heart warming video of the human character. Well done. 🎉
So many different languages, people from different countries, different cultures and they live together, next to each other, peacefully - I wish it could be like this everywhere in the world, because as you can see it's possible...
I have lived in NYC almost all my life. You encapsulated the rhythm of the city that I am still in love with.
Yes, one can be anonymous in the City, but New Yorkers have proved time and again to be there for you if you are in need.
Beautiful video different culture different backgrounds love the diversity ❤️❤️
This video made my day better, thank you so mutch from brazil 🤜
New York City has tons of languages spoken other than English like Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, etc. just like Chicago, where I am from.
Chicago has the 2nd largest Polish Community outside of Warsaw. There's Ukrainian Village. Roger's Park and West Roger's Park has Indians, Ethiopians, many West African Country Men/Women. I lived in Chicago for 33 years.
@@youtubeuserzzzz Don't forget Little Village, Pilsen, Back of the Yards and Humboldt Park also.
Arabic is the third most spoken language in New York behind English and Spanish.
During the 2020-2021 school year, ELLs in NYC public schools communicated in 151 languages other than English. Over 61% of ELLs are Spanish speakers, followed by students who speak Chinese, Arabic, Bengali, Russian, Urdu, Haitian Creole, Uzbek, French, and Tadzhik.
@@youtubeuserzzzz "Chicago has the 2nd largest Polish Community outside of Warsaw."
No way! That cliché is totally archaic. Just stop it.
I enjoyed hearing from many type of ppl in NYC & seeing the different types of NYC nabes (midtown, Bryant Park, SoHo, etc.)
I think I saw the street vendor that sells outside my bldg!
Thank you for a nice video.
Hopefully back to NYC soon😊
Thank you for being so inclusive.
I have been living in Malta for 2 years already and I’ve been meeting people who speaks 6/9 languages. You should do one video here in Summer!
Great video, love seeing the diversity and also how many Americans still only speak English. I live in Italy and am slowly learning Italian.
Every other English speaking country is like that though. English is basically the world default language which is why a lot of native speakers don’t put much effort into learning a second language because it’s kind of pointless unless you’re moving to a non-native English speaking country. If so then yes, do your best to learn some said country’s language.
im a big fan of this series!
Thank You i'm learning English with your videos !!
🐢 Your videos motivates me to keep learning languages 'cause I was born for this (I'm currently learning German and French) :3
you rock man!
weiter so!
This video was amazing!
I am a native New Yorker and multilingual, and love languages. I love walking on the streets and hearing so many different languages, it's amazing!!
You are lucky ☺️ I love this beautiful city so so much (visited only once) so, yeah..❤
This is one of my favorites you've done. I'd love for you to return to New York again someday 🐢
7:29 you are so bright :)
thank you for the clip
4:16 - I watched this video just because of the thumbnail with this beautiful girl! I can identify these beauties from my country easily (:
If you see a white person with Asian features, he is definitely a Ukrainian
If you see an Asian person with White features, he is definitely a Kazakh
Та наших же за кілометр взнаєш
These videos are so interesting. I feel like an American outlier. I spoke French with my mom’s side of the family, German with my dad’s side, and obviously English in school and public. French helps to understand Spanish and Portuguese. I had a long term roommate from South Africa so learned some Afrikaans that helped with the bridge with German for understanding Dutch. My grandfather was stationed in Japan and taught me some Japanese. I took 1.5 years of mandarin. And had many Korean friends in high school that taught me some Korean. And tried to learn some Russian with DuoLingo. And I know some expressions in Arabic.
And learned some Vietnamese insults lol
Amazing,so you know seven languages and understand three others,from what I understand 👏👏
You're really cool
Вы большой молодец , полиглот, так мы говорим
Bruh it's funny how none of the people knows Dutch in NYC while it was new amsterdam at some point. 😂
Love your videos Daniel!!!
Nice editing style, TY
the endangered language alliance is so cool!! everyone should check it out
Being able to read and understand a new language feels great. I can read and understand Portuguese, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Catalan. I know the very basics of German, as well. With the exception of German and Catalan, I can speak all the aforementioned languages if I'm allowed to commit lots of mistakes. 😂
Superb video! Congratulations. Congratulazioni. Parabéns. Felicidades.
Keep ut the good work
I spent a wonderful time watching this video.
The guy from Brooklyn is so funny, he still has the Brooklyn/NYC accent, and he thinks he lost it...
Great video!!🐢 It was fun to see how many people speak Hebrew in NYC❤
This was a beautifully edited video.
Thank you so much for showing everyday people making the US great! I will simply leave it at that!
You managed to get a good cross section of NYC. Besides English and Spanish i would say that Hebrew, French, Chinese, and Polish were the next most common. If you would have gone to Brooklyn you would have found many Russian speakers too.
New York City is so fascinating to me because it's the molting pot of people from all around the world in just one small area
" it goes where everything go... Away" Brilliant!
5:11 great setup brother, you are a great wingman!
I like the sound of Hebrew
Great video Dan, as always. ❤ from Montréal.
Eastern Slav girls can be seen immediately. And when they start talking in English, you already understand 100% where a person comes from😍🥰
Yessss! I’ve been waiting on a nyc version!
what a great watch. So candid and real.
Maravilloso Nueva York! Gracias por el vídeo. Fue entretenido!!

Love your videos man. Thank you for representing Canada and our French language! Enchanté ✌️
I really love this video ❤
I loved this video! It shows that - if the people who spoke are typical - Americans are primarily and exclusively English speakers (no surprise given the dominance of English in most of the world). Great program!
That's myth. I don't live in NY and speak 3. What confuses people is that we can travel 2,500 Km and only use English. However, we speak more languages than people know.
@@daylightmoon7285, Knowing a little bit of an other language isn't speaking it fluently
I am a New Yorker since 1997. I speak three languages. Serbian, English and French
I love these type of videos🐢.
Enjoyed all of the video
It’s unbelievable how we people are similar and how we are different
My mom is a New Yorker. I think a big reason the accent is going is because you don’t have the same immigrant populations anymore. You don’t really have as many first generation Jewish and Italian immigrants. Now it’s Latin American immigrants who are the vast majority and I think you can hear that just walking through NY.
As a Brooklynite born and bred, yeah, the type of Brooklyn accent that was from Jewish, Italian, and Irish immigrants is really mostly seen in older folks usually in South Brooklyn. Bensonhurst, Gravesend, etc. A lot of us Black and Latino immigrants have our own version of it that is mixed with whatever english dialect (as many of us Black folks are West Indian/Caribbean and us or our parents often speak whatever dialect of english from the island/country they originated from though younger immigrants will often speak in the aforementioned comboed Brooklyn accent) that our parents speak or language in some cases. I have a friend who is Bangladeshi and he speaks english in a strange Bangla accented Brooklyn accent.
Germans were there too.....many.
You will get even more. They all.leave south America. To.go to the "promised "land...in a prepared.bed...
And come with all.of there culture....that is the future. No it's and buts....its all okkkyyy
@@dagmarvandoren9364where the dutch at though? NYC used to be new amsterdam
🐢!! Thank you for the video
Wow, I really liked the video, I even got a reading recommendation( 1:39), I'm always looking for writers who write well about New York
As a truck driver who grew up in Germany, I love speaking the French I learned whenever in Quebec or Louisiana. I learned Spanish from two cooks I used to work with in California who were Puerto Rican and from my Mexican friends in Texas. I don't get to speak much German here, but I love listening in on the Dutch Amish when I get a chance because it's so similar.
I tried to learn Finnish because it was Tolkiens inspiration for the Elvish language in Lord of the Rings and its so melodic. As a teen I did a school exchange with Denmark so I do appreciate the other Scandinavian languages. Ofcourse anime will kind of get your foot in the door with Japanese.
I had a lot of turkish and Italian class mates and Italo pop was popular in Germany in the 80ies growing up which played into learning Latin from 7th to 10th grade. I barely graduated because Latin was so difficult. Ofcourse I understand more than I can speak, but I love the instant connection you can achieve by just displaying a few phrases to a native speaker of whatever language.
Last week I sang a Turkish song with someone from turkey in Wisconsin 😆.
Lots of Slavic people and Russians in Chicago. I feel being a truckdriver plays right into my sense of adventure and connection even if they are brief and superficial, but I always get surprised looks because of the stereotype that truck drivers are uneducated or something.
Due to the recession of 2008 there were a lot of highly educated people who had lost jobs and resorted to driving a truck for various reasons. Even met a rocket scientist once 😆.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to drive a truck tho.
Wait so, I'm Dutch but you say that there is something like dutch Amish? 😂 I thought that was German only.
🐢 Oh I miss NYC! But I think Montreal will be my next destination :p
Suas entrevistas são muito boas ,parabéns .
9:06 Very interesting description of life in NYC ... Great video! Can you do Cologne?
Respect to the woman who brought up sign language
Crazy! You randomly hit upon a slew of polyglots in Montréal, many more proportionally, than in NYC!
Be well & stay safe
I'm not sure it was random. Montreal has a very high percentage of people who speak multiple languages. Unlike most cities, it's a place where you need 2 just to survive :)
@@TheNewTravel
Agreed, however, I was referring to polyglots, id est: 3 or more languages spoken.
Bilingualism here is practically the norm, in the greater Mtl area, so....
I may of course have a differing optic due to not being present, consequently, unable to assess all the facts.
@@TheNewTravel It's not unusual to meet people who speak three languages in Montréal.
@@vincentlefebvre9255 I moved from Brazil to Quebec and usually I speak three languages during my workday. I have meetings with my team which is composed of different French accents, meetings in English with other teams or clients and I speak in portuguese with some colleagues. I can understand spanish as well, that's one of the things I like here, you can hear a lot of different languages.
@@MapleBR That's why Montréal is by far the most cosmopolitan place in Canada.
Wow! Super information. I speak English, Japanese, a bit of Korean, and now since the past 2 days working on French
I´ve just stumbled upon this channel and I absolutely love it!
Welcome aboard!
Arabic sounds like a beautiful language.
I don't understand the Senegalese guy who speaks French and says that he struggles with Spanish. It was my understanding that French speakers had an easier time learning Spanish. Now, I'm a Spanish Speaker and for us Spanish speakers isn't that easy to learn French mainly because French pronunciation is kind of unique when compared to other romance languages.
Arabic music is even better.
Arabic is in my opinion the most beautiful language. From the way it sounds to the way it looks.
i wouldnt know but i could see that being the case. i decided to learn spanish while my brother learned french and we can rarely understand much of what the other one says. that being said if i hear people speaking italian i can pick up a bit of what they are talking about. portuguese, not as much but i think its mostly because im not used to brazilian accents yet whereas i grew up around a lot of spanish speaking latinos and italians
Arabic is absolutelu beautiful language, in my opinion the most beautiful ❤
As a big fan of all things French, I just love how folks in NYC mention they can either speak French or know a smattering of it. I mean, come on, French is so elegant and fancy. I always loved how learning it set me apart from others and gave me that extra "je ne sais quoi". Although, I gotta say, I do wish more people talked about Italian too. Such a melodious language!
Why Italian?!
Good video! I feel like I'm following you around and talk to the people too😊
