      Those DNA tests that are commercial like that, are complete junk. It is proven that they are very ambiguous and non specific and throw up different results for the same person. You can test that by taking three tests with the same company ( if you can be bothered ). They are nothing more than a money making scheme and you have to read the small print disclaimers where they basically say: "these results are just a very rough idea and do not necessarily reflect heritage" or words to that effect.
      Fact is, the only way to really find your accurate heritage, is via MONTHS of laboratory analysis of your DNA material. Unfortunately, these companies operate within the law - but they are misleading millions of people are like a DNA fashion mafia, taking advantage of the interest people have in the subject. Fact is, their tests throw up wildly different results for the same person. Look into that before promoting rip off junk.

    Sign language was an interesting answer. Many family members of mine can't hear (or see) very well because of usher sydrome, and because of that i know some dutch sign language (luckily now technology can actually improve hearing a lot with Cochlear hearing implants, so talking with them is now not really a problem anymore) . Interesting thing is that sign language is also different in different countries, so if you say that you want to learn sign language, then you'd still have to specify for which spoken language you'd want to learn sign language.

      As a European, people, especially Americans, overestimate Europeans. Most Europeans (outside of the UK and Ireland) speak two languages, their native language plus English. A large part of Spain and France really only speak one as knowledge of English there is poor. Some people with migration background speak 3, the language spoken at home, the language of the country they grew up in, plus English. People being able to speak 3 is already uncommon, but more than 3 languages is really rare. And if that is the case, they often speak some languages that are similar to each other. Like Dutch and German or Spanish and Portuguese. At least from my experience.

    The issue with learning languages is that people think that they will learn languages if they study them at schools which is not really true.
    Myself I spent 10 years at school learning English and French and I couldn't really speak them, then I decided to learn languages on my own and I could learn English, French, Italian and Dutch in about 5 years of learning alone and I could work with all of them in different companies.
    So if you guys wanna learn a language, do it on your own. Don't wait for someone else or school to teach you. :)

      I think a big factor is whether you actually want to learn. Similar to yourself I studied French and German at school because it was mandatory, but I had no interest in languages at the time and learnt very little. At age 30 I decided I wanted to learn a new language and studied Norwegian, now I'm studying Swedish (very similar) and Dutch. The difference now is interest and motivation. You can have all the resources in the world, but if you're not interested they're no of use. Congrats on your progress in language learning 👍

      There are several problems learning languages at school, but mainly two.
      1) Public schools are more interested in numbers, standars and exam results than in their students' learning, whereas some private schools and academies are more interested in the money they earn.
      2) Many students don't really get involved in learning, they just want to pass the exams, reagarding schools, or they think that their teachers are the only ones responsible for their learning and that they do not have to make any effort beyond paying to the academies or schools.
      When one studies by oneself, there's no way to blame the teacher, just the resources, but even then, oneself has chosen them.
      I had a good experience learning French at university, but I worked hard during those three years. My experience with English has been completely different: I've been learning mostly on my own for 30 years, though more intermittently than steadily.

      I believe the main reason is because he doesn't want to risk getting demonitized due to the fact that posting any content relating to Russia is discouraged by most social platforms, because it likely means losing advertisers who don't want to associate their brand with this country since they're labled as the "bad guys". It's ultimately about money for most people.

      Thanks Victor! Moments like that are my favourite. I find the languages question is kind of a gateway to getting people talking, and if they want to share more I will listen.

      @peterpunker9425 Před rokem

      @@TheNewTravel Yes, I really liked it because you made a question and then the person went on talking about other stuff. He seemed eager to share about himself. I’m a student of literature and since I can remember I have always been amazed with the fact that out there there are many authors that write about stuff that one could think it’s “common” or not “literature material”. Minimalist circumstances about everyday life, personal life experiencies, childhood memories, jobs that people had to do to get by (I mean, who wouldn’t like to read a story about a boy that used to sell peanuts in a stadium? That’s an increidible type of archeology of a life right there. Also, did you hear what he said? He said he was raised “in the shadow” of the yankee stadium. That’s quite a rare a way to put it. I can imagine a tons of questions to ask him: was it incredibly cold during winter time living there where sun probably didn’t reach his house? Also, where there houses nearby? What was the neighbourhood like at that time?) are also incredibly rich and beautiful to read and hear cause they’re a huge chunk of what we are as individuals. So regarding the type of interview I think I should be somehow that segment of the Bronx guy, which is also beautifully edited I must say. Loved the contrast of the voice in the background with shots of the landscape and city. Often I find myself, in my life, talking of people of different origins and upbringings, some with a lot of money, others with not so much. I have come to realise I get along with mostly everyone, and you seem to be that type of person that people like to share stuff to like it sometimes happens to myself. Maybe you could use that to some extent to make a sort of “archeology” (fancy word, but somehow that’s what it’s) of the lives of everyday people. I’m sure your viewers will enjoy it. Btw, I’m not from America nor Canada. I’m from Argentina actually and I’ve been in contact with English since I was relatively young. That’s why I watch your videos, to keep in contact with the language and also see what people say. Sorry for the long post!
