Not sure if you’ve visited some of these already but here are some ideas: Paris, Istanbul, Dakar, Cape Town, Dubai. Thanks for the fun videos 😁🐢
🐢 visit Toulouse or Andorra. It is not far from Barcelona
visit pakistan are is a beautiful country
I would love to see a video from germany, maybe cologne or an other big city here.
The last guy touched my heart and we have an imagine that everyone coming is just looking for a better life. That they are getting away from a bad place and bad people… Except, the reality is Eurøpe is letting everyone in, including the bad people too.
I don’t have the stats from Spain but I do from Italy. Here are the stats from Italy, that the medía and gøvernment won’t tell you (you have to research them yourself).
Foreigners make up 8.7 percent of the Italy’s population, yet commit over half of all serious crimes. A whopping 89.7 percent of crimes involving exploitation of prostitution, 55.8 percent of cases involving sexual violence, 52.8 percent of robberies, 52.4 percent of thefts, and 43.6 percent of malicious injury cases.
Keep in mind, the data does not include crimes committed by second-generation Italians. In other words, Italians born to immigrant parents are not listed as “foreigners” and are instead seen as Italian citizens. If you add them, it’s over 80% of the seríous crimes in Italy. The data helps dispel the notion that immigrants coming in are all just peaceful people looking for a better life. The data shows that foreigners account for a massively disproportionate share of the overall crime rate.
“the worrying cultural climate in which certain phenomena occur is a sign of a total lack of any kind of values”. - Chief Inspector Omar Di Ronco
After a week of widespread chaos breakout n Italian lakeside towns near Lake Garda involving up to 2,000 migrants. The chaos included widespread violence, stabbings and assaults. The Italian public prosecutor’s office and the Italian Parliament have opened a number of investigations, including into cases where migrant men sexually assaulted teen girls, including 6 on a train from Lake Garda to Milan.
“They are just a culture of criminals who have left a deep wound in my community. We lived a week of war,” said the mayor of Italian lakeside town Peschiera
Good luck to him and the people that are truly good people, because Eurøpe has done a poor job of ensuring bad people don’t also get in.
Buena suerte to the guy at the end. I hope he finds that better life.
I hope so
People are so cute in Barcelona ❤️❤️❤️
Well, I heard he had done unspeakable things back in Guinea and had to flee.
@@user-wb1nz6fq2isuch as?
@@user-wb1nz6fq2i lmao shut up man, you don't even know the guy 😂
Respect for your last interviewee. He is training for many different jobs and has gone through a lot for a better life. I hope he is rewarded for his efforts.
I speak spanizzz
He likely will, he is on the right track
Yup, many people don't realise how lucky they are to be born into America , Canada and Europe.
@@thomasfookingshelby8194 i was born in South America...
@@thomasfookingshelby8194 Is being born in America that lucky these days?
the last person broke my heart... i understand what he said perfectly...
everyone deserves a good life...i hope the best for him...btw i speak three languages( Arabic, English, and French)
thanks a lot for the video :)
I totally agree with you. He is the best
Oh i also speak french English and French
And i am learning Spanish
I also speak English French and Spanish
The Africans ALWAYS speak 5-6 languages. Brilliant people with terrible governments that don't value their brilliant human resources. Que pena! I speak 4 1/3 languages Spanish, Italian, English French & a little Nigerian Yoruba🌍
I speak Arabic and English and I’m learning French
The last guy he speaks very well Spanish and I wish he could get his paper soon in this country. I wish him the best
Or he can go back to his homeland.
well, Spain is one of the easiest countries to get a residence permit, so for sure he will get one, and afterwards even citizenship. Here is's very very easy compared to other countries like Germany, UK, France, US or Canada to get papers
@@N1ka lol no
@@tomyray2773 compared to other first world countries yes
Or go elsewhere
I hope the last guy can get his work permit or something like that. He's trying to give his best for his family and deserves an opportunity
So does half of the world. Would you let half the world in?
@@steffie_ana1704yes
God bless that man from Guinea, I hope things go well for him and his family... It's really hard to leave your country and look for a better life abroad, he looks like a good man, God bless him
En France, sa vie serait plus facile et il pourrait mieux se débrouiller avec l'administration
@@pascalgotlib1781vraiment?
The last man really toched my heart, I really hope he achieve all his goals and be happy along with his doughter
Nothing makes a Canadian happier than seeing another Canadian lol
Finding a countryman in other country is always good.
frigging rights
Lo mismo sucede cuando nos encontramos españoles por el mundo.😄😁🇪🇸
As long as they're both outside Canada lol
Ya there’s only like 38 million of us lol
Oh my goodness the last one was touching I was bawling my eyes out, understanding that there´s nothing wrong with leaving your country to pursue a better life, quite the opposite, worthy of admiration and bravery, even more, when it comes to Africa. Doing his best to speak Spanish imo narrowly fluent and going out of his way to have many skills, his efforts will be rewarded. I wish him the best wholeheartedly.
The last guy broke my heart
I wish all the best for Him
hope that guy at the end is able to find somewhere to call home.
I hope african leaders wake up and see what they're doing to their own youth.
The last guy speaking it’s all what my life been through and still. I feel for my brother I hope god will bring better days for us
We're rooting for the man in the end! May you find what you were searching for and more!
Wow…. The last gentleman…. Hats off and much respect to his struggle…we are all cheering for you amigo!!!!!! Chapeau!
Hey i just wanted to say this as advice as to why some of the older people in the video may have seen apprehensive to respond back or a bit offended. When you asked them the question “How many languages do you speak” in spanish, you addressed them in an informal tone, which could come across as offensive to people you don’t know and more so to the elder population. Perhaps it’d be better to ask, “Cuántos idiomas hablA” (without the S)
@@bigfoot1861 Bro the younger generation can actually speak english obviously if you are talking to the older people, man spain was in a civil war not long ago and the crisis in the post-war era was heavy
Oh, the lovely guy from Conakry, Guinea, had me practically in tears listening to his rather challenging and difficult 'backstory' - and in quite good Spanish, as well, did he do so 😊.... And, yes: Barcelona truly *is* a gorgeous - fabulous - absolutely world-class city 😁...!! ~Marvellous video-vlog, **Dan*;* but then, they pretty much always ARE 😀🐢💖
Last guy was amazing, you can tell he has a pure heart and best intentions for his family, God bless .
Salam to my kyrgyz guys! What a surprise!
🐢 best of luck to the gentleman at the end. sounds like he has learned spanish really well.
The guy with Galician grandparents is like me. I’m half Catalan half Galician but my Galician is not as good as my Catalan. I also speak: English, Castilian, Italian and Japanese.
you are very beautiful and sweet ❤
I only came here to say that Catalan Language is also spoken where I'm living, 400 km away from Barcelona: Valencia (which is part of the region called: Valencian Community or Valencian Country). Furthermore, you can fully here Catalan language in all the islands of the Balearic Islands (Eivissa-Ibiza+Pituïsses, Mallorca-Majorca, Menorca) and finally Andorra. Less but not list important, it's also spoken in Alguer-Alghero (Sardenya-Sardinia, belonged to Italy Republic) and Rosselló-Roussillon, south-east of France.
And North of Murcia, although it's disappearing. It's kinda crazy to live right in the Murcia - Alicante border, where you hang out with people from a town 10 minutes away where they had to learn Valenciano in high-school, while people on the Murcia side never had to learn a word.
Molt bé explicat, Ricard. Alguns paraules en anglès les vas escriure incorrectament (hear = sentir / here = aquí | list = llista / least = menys). Una abraçada i visca el català! Visca Catalunya lliure!
@@davidcampelo El català no es parla a Valencia. A la CV es parla valencià, com al meu cas. No entraré en disputes sobre si és una llengua diferent, ja que realment és una varietat dialectal. Aleshores, visca el valencià, Català, Castellà, i totes les llengües del món.
Grácies per a informar per a que tot el món conega la nosta meravellosa llengua. Saluts de part dels vostres germans, els valencians!
Is Catalan very different to Spanish? Does it resemble it in any way? Is there tension amongst Spanish people over Catalan's having their own language? Sorry for all the questions
Oh wow! Did not expect to see a Kyrgyz man in the video, I am from Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 too😅.
That's very common for Kyrgyz people to speak three languages (Kyrgyz-local, National language . Russian- became official language after separation from Soviet Union . English-international language) due to geographic , economic situations in the country. But I really wanna become fluent in Spanish too😅.
Another most common languages in the country are Turkish (cause its similarity) , and other turk languages , German (education,work wise), Korean (kpop,education, work wise) , Chinese (education,work wise).
My advice is that if someone asks you to say something in Kyrgyz you don’t open with Arabic. Just a suggestion!
@@JudgeHill
right... As-salamu Alaykum - is a greeting in Arabic , however it is a religious salutation for all muslims worldwide, not only in Arabic countries nor between only arabs.
So.., thanks for the suggestion though.
@@Freiheitg al salaam aleikum is something muslims use
I am native muslim Arab
A native Christian Arab doesn't greet u with al salaam aleikum
The last man is very brave and I wish him well.
May the last man create a great life. I don't know if you have done the US yet, but Atlanta or maybe St. Louis. I am an American and so many never learn a second language. I was born, and raised, overseas and was shocked when we came back to the US. Learning other languages open minds and help us understand each other.
What a gorgeous city Barcelona is! It looks like a mellow and sophisticated kind of place where you can sit and have a cafe con leche with buttered bread to dip it in. That last person you spoke with, from Guinea. I admit that the first thing I noticed about him was his very dark skin and then he spoke of his language knowledge, struggles, hopes, and dreams. I am a refugee myself and what he said touched me. He is a representative of the kaleidoscope of humanity at its best.
I like Barcelona a lot. I've been there several times but the perspective has kept changing. The first times I went there, I was still living in Germany although I had a fairly good level of Spanish due to my language studies at university in Berlin and some practice. At this stage I'm living in a small town in Valencia. I'm married to a Spaniard and speak not only Spanish fluently but also Valencian, which is a dialect of Catalan. When I go to Barcelona now, I'm going there as someone with strong ties with the lical culture and language. The local people may realize features of a German when seeing me, even though my skin colour is my no means different to theirs anymore. And as I am very likely with my wife or in a group of people speaking to them in Catalan, I find myself quite far away from what the local people would expect from a tourist from abroad.
interesting! thanks for sharing
The African guy as usual broke my heart into pieces. ALL he wants is just some sort of training so he can work but nope, not you african. Don't worry bro, the day is coming and coming fast.
The last guy... I really wish him the best 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 good luck for everything, better times are coming for u and your kid 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 . u deserve the best. ❤️❤️❤️

That last guy is one strong man.
I started watching your channel a couple of weeks ago and I think the kind of content you're doing is great. Keep it up
I appreciate that!
that was a great interview, especially the last one.
I enjoy this channel. It's simple but very interesting. Simple in a good way. Too many people tend to overthink things and make everything more complicated than it needs to be.
As a local, catalan is as used as Spanish here. The schools are in Catalan (minus obviously Spanish as a subject), and it just depends on the person and their background as to what language they prefer. I’ve got friends who I talk with in Catalan and some others in Spanish. Catalan is now an official European language also!
i just love the vibes i get from ur videos
I hope the guy at the end achieves his goal of a better life
The last guy was just the way , the world is out of everyone you interviewed, humble and just trying to get thebest out of his life.
amazing video. my best regards for the last guy and his daughter
Im from Colombia and I moved to Sweden. Now days I do speak fluent Swedish which I am proud of but back in the early days when I didn't speak it at all or some what ok... I used to feel really insecure about it, even angry at others who spoke it but it was the frustration I felt for the situations I had to go through for been different, a foreign. that’s why now day I encurage people that I know who don't speak the language to learn it so they don't feel so isolated and more...
Love this video 💖🫠
Great video as always 🙌
Loved the vid and especially the last interview, thx for the content 😃🐢
The guy at the end is a survivor, mad props
What the Kyrghiz guy meant is the following:
Turkic languages include some 35 languages like Kyrgyz, Azerbaijani, Uzbek etc. Unlike common assumption, Turkish or other Turkic languages are not related to Arabic. If anything Arabic is much closer to English than it is to Turkish (the former beloning to the Indo-European language family while the latter belongs to the Ural-Altaic language family- as the interviewee also mentioned it as "Ural". So in terms of syntax, for instance, Turkish is close to Korean or Japanese. The word order is inverse compared to English, French, Spanish, Italian etc.)
The confusion is because Turkish or Kyrghiz, as it's the case here, borrowed words from Arabic, Persian etc. (Remember Ottoman Empire encompassed Arabic-speaking regions too, if we focus on Turkish). So that's why he gave the example of saying hi but basically said something in Arabic. In Turkish also, you can say Salaimu Aleykum to mean hi - esp. if you have religious orientation or if you're older generation- but you can just opt for "Merhaba" or "Selam" instead- which are, surprise surprise, borrowed words again from the Middle Eastern languages. Anyway, Turkish borrowed heavily from Arabic - and more so from Persian and to a lesser extent from French- , that's a given, but it's really a totally different language -- on a last note, that explains why we, conference interpreters, have a hard time going between English-Turkish, for instance, as the word order is simply the inverse. So we rely heavily on our guessing capacities :))
You're right, except that Arabic is not and Indo-European language, it's a semitic language like Hebrew and the Altaic language family has been disproven, Korean and Japanese are language isolates.
But yeah, English has a lot of Arabic and Hebrew loanwords(alcohol, sugar, coffee, azure, alchemy, assassin, arsenal, algebra, artichoke, apricot etc.) so it would be closer to Arabic than Kyrgyz
Assalamualikum sister. Are you from Turkye?
Half of the Turkish and Persian language dictionary is all Arabic Persian is even written in Arabic letters The Turkish language was also written in Arabic letters, but the President of Turkey turned it into Latin in that time
@@User08179 Yes we have a lot of words from Arabic-Persian or French. That doesn't mean that Turkish is similar to these languages though- this is what I meant. It is just we have borrow words, that's it. But the grammar and the structure of language is TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Plus, we changed it to Latin alphabet because Arabic script didn't allow for correct pronunciation of Turkish- we just used Arabic script but basically the language was TURKISH. It is like you write Arabic using Kyrillic but stilll you would be speaking Arabic righ
You can just listen to Turkish on CZcams to see how different it sounds from all those languages. It isn't that "someone came, changed the Arabic to Latin and that's why there is difference". It is because there is those differences that the President and the language commission changed it to Latin. Please try to polish your ignorance a little bit before commenting on a country's complex past by throwing out a biased comment here.
@@tylersmith3139 Yeah you're right! If we go into deep details of linguistics I know that Altaic theory is disproven. Just wanted to make this comment on a surface level since I have been encountering this misconception for over 20 yrs, and this video seemed to be a relevant opportunity for that!
i Live for 3 years here and I still can tell hundreds of reasons what I love in and about Barcelona but I still can not describe hat this city has that makes it so special.

I'm from Barcelona, like my parents and grandparents, and I can assure you that the Barcelona of before was much more more beautiful than today. Maybe no so much international as today, but with more quality of life. Olimpics in 92 marked an inflexion point. Today I live in a small village of 800h. I see many of yours interviews. Are ok. Salutes to Canada from a small village of Aragon in Spain.😊😊
How beautiful are Barcelona and Catalonia!
I love your this type of videos. thanks. 谢谢。
I'm feeling so homesick watching this... I miss Barcelona everyday
As-salamu alaykum!
Wow, sounds like Arabic.
No, it's a totally different language. 😆
Just for the viewers out there the greeting "As-salamu alaykum" is Arabic. Which is used by Muslims in any country, regardless of the language they speak.
Yeh, and I'm kinda surprised the interviewer didn't even know that if he's travelled to so many places (I'm not Muslim btw)
- Can you say something in Kyrgyz?
* Speaks Arabic.*
- Ah, so similar to Arabic then?
- No, no.
I think what happened was a confusion. The interviewer rightfully asks if the language is similar to Arabic, after hearing "as-salamu alaykum". The interviewee answers no it's not similar, thinking he refers to the language and not the greeting itself. The greeting is Arabic as a matter of fact but the language isn't that close, it's a Turkic language.
@@tillfalligt1148 he said only ONE PHRASE in Arabic which he furthermore explained that it's a versatile expression in a Muslim country. And after that he said the expression in Kyrgyz: "кандайсың?" - which means "how are you?". Why don't the people first listen to the full part and then comment. 🤦🏻♂️
@@IoT_ Yes, we know that.
🐢. You're an amazing traveler, your gaze is so captivating. By the way, I think your Spanish level can increase a lot, just keep it up and never give up. On the other hand, my English level isn't perfect nor advanced yet and I think I have to keep on struggling with some trouble into my English learning journey non-stop in order to improve my English skills and overcome certain difficulties. I would love to speak English confidently and fearlessly and in the future other languages like French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish.
But your writing is so beautiful💜

Keep making vids like these !
🐢. These are always interesting. Nice one!
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and it was a nice surprise to see you in Barcelona, the city I was born in. As you can guess through the comments, the catalan subject is a bit touchy. Catalan is a nice language (in my opinion), with around 10 million speakers in different mediterranean countries. In some places it bears a different name, basically for political reasons, but this doesn't change the fact that valencians and catalans, for instance, can understand each others with no problem. That's what languages are made for, to connect and comunicate with other humans beings, not to separate. Kudos to the last guy in the video.
It’s the same language. I did the C2 in Catalan and there were valencians in the class. We can understand each other even in the highest levels.
i realy love your video.dude, it's cool
Go to Granada, Andalucia. It's a great city there, Alhambra is my favorite heritage to visit :)

5:27 Portuguese is very similar to English, I understood his answer, everything he said.
But he was really tryna speak English, not fluent though. I guess he didn’t get the interviewer asked him to speak in Portuguese (which is a very different language).
He isn’t speaking portuguese, he spoke english all the time

The Spanish of the last guy is way clearer than some native Spanish speakers that I talked to. I hope he gets his paper soon and settle down there with happiness.
@@iclipsy9119 Why?
@@iclipsy9119 Speak for yourself.
I noticed that too I could I understand everything and I’m not fluent ❤😊
It’s usually for people who don’t have native or high level of language to understand non native speakers. This is because they speak slowly or they speak as you usually speak. For a native speaker I can understand it perfectly but I have to concrete in some words because he is not using correctly the order or the grammar. And I hope he achieve his goals.
Man this video makes me miss all the languages ive learned over the years and forget it because i dont activelybusing it or purauing it anymore. Gotta get that back.

Looking at this video and others from other cities, I think it would be more interesting to interview only local people, not tourists. The idea would go from being a curious survey, to studying the level of languages spoken in different countries.
