I'm sure you already realize this, but it probably means SO MUCH to the people you are encountering to have an American speak their language with them. I wish I had the ability to pick up other languages so easily. I recall when I went to Greece, I made a conscious effort to learn how to say "Thank You" in Greek, and I used it when I stopped at a roadside market. The woman at the register to whom I said it BEAMED with joy. It's incredible how something like that can help make connections. What you are doing is VERY COOL.

I was so nervous to talk to any Mexican citizens, even though I knew I had gotten pretty good at conversational Spanish, because I was afraid to offend anyone. However, it really made everything worth it when a worker came up to my family in the gift shop asking us if we needed anything and seeing his expression when I responded to him in Spanish. He was surprised I was from the U.S. since we were able to have a full conversation.

It’s more of a cultural thing. French people are notorious for correcting you, but it is definitely not out of malice or “looking down” upon you, but out of genuinely wanting to teach you. This is definitely less acceptable in US culture, but in France we correct each other all the time and this is a part of our culture. It is definitely not viewed as rude or arrogant here, this is probably why you had this experience :)

I remember when I was learning French in high school and we had 3 different teachers at one point. All 3 disagreed with the way the others taught us how to say certain words, and all 3 were from different regions in France. 16 years later and I still don't know the "correct" way to say anything in French.

He could say “I’m learning this language” and “I’m a language teacher” and “hi nice to meet you”. Xiaoma can learn languages almost to fluency in a matter of weeks: watch his recent video where he is able to do an interview in fluent Finnish on a Finnish tv show just weeks after beginning the language. Laoshu was never on that level.

This is awesome. Ghanaians reactions are so pure when someone speaks or has even heard of their language. I don't speak Twi, but I just know a little bit about it. I once met a guy who told me he was from Ghana, and when I asked him if he spoke Twi, his eyes instantly lit up and started laughing in joy that I even knew the name of his language. Most people have never heard of Twi.

That's at least partially because: 1) English is the lingua franca of the world, it's almost an expectation (or at least very common) to have non-native speakers. The same can't be said for a lot of the regional dialects or languages this channel hones in on, with much smaller and more homogenous communities. 2) It is perceived as being condescending or culturally insensitive if you compliment a non-native speaker's English as a native speaker -- or at least there's a significant chance of this in today's world. An innocuous question such as "where are you from?" to a likely immigrant is now considered a "microaggression." If I enthusiastically say "Your English is so good!" to a non-native speaker (say, a local taxi driver) there is a fairly good chance they will perceive my comment as either sarcasm or as a bit insulting to their efforts.

You’re quite amazing, I must say. KZitem randomly suggested a video of yours to me yesterday and I’m hooked! Have you learned sign language? I’m just curious because you’ve taken the time to learn all of these spoken languages, I would love to see you learn sign language if you haven’t. I think it’s a language that should be taught in schools, seeing as many of us age we tend to lose our hearing. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone knew sign language? Then at some point along the way, there would be the beginning of all elderly folks who are hard of hearing or deaf being able to still communicate and understood by their peers as well as the generations following them. 🖖
