No way hahaha 🤣🤣
No lo había notado jajaja
I did not see that the first time. I saw your comment then went back
@@thato596 I thought it was pretty obvious but I'm glad I made you go back 🤣
HAHAHHAHA JUST NOTICED THIS
That bike crash at 0:57 😂😂😂😂

Hahahaha
not funny at all actually.............

@@TekinBursal I thought it was very funny
Miami has 3 Official Languages which are English, Spanish & Haitian-Creole. The School system has identified over 72 languages spoken by it's Student population. It truly is one of America's most diverse & International cities.
The United States does not have an official language at the federal level, but the most commonly used language is English (specifically, American English), ... ... When french canadians were deported by english Canadians to the USA , french language was forbidden in the the U.S in other to assimilate them ... still the case in english Canada trying to assimilate the french culture and language .
Certain states have English as the official language
@@jeanbolduc5818 ❤
Plus French (Haitians & Canadians, and some French) ad Portuguese (Brazilians).
California cities - "Κράτα τον καφέ μου". I think we have more languages than that in our voter guides. Whenever covered california sends us a one page letter, it comes with 5 pages of one short paragraph repeated in different languages about what to do if you don't speak English - Why require a citizen to speak English when you can keep him in his lane?
The Montenegrin girl should totally have said she spoke Montenegrin, Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian.

Most Italians speak at least a few dialects, and some of these dialects are different enough from standard Italian to be considered their own languages. But I had never seen an Italian say they speak a local language in this channel.
Isn’t that exactly what Melania Trump claimed?
@@Databhoy Slovenian really is a different language from Serbo-Bosno-Montenegro-Croatian, or at least it was considered as such already in the Yugoslav era. Melania claimed to speak French and Italian but the footage of her supposedly speaking those languages consisted of her greeting (incorrectly in the case of Italian) and switching to English.
@@13tuyuti not so different.
At 3:52, random Brazilian couple having an argument haha Thanks for yet another great take on Human oral communication skills.
kkkk
bla bla bla nas minhas coisas
I was expecting a lot of spanish but pleasantly surprised by the amount Italian speakers on here
They were tourist or just service workers that coke for a few months and only stay in SOBE. No one speaks Italian outside of that 😂
As a Miami Cuban I can assure you 90% of Miami speaks Spanish lol
Let me guess, you don't get out of south Beach.
Ñ
I agree because i feel like in florida there are many cubans, so i also was expecting a lot of spanish.
0:57 did I see right?😂
ya i felt bad for them :(
😂😂😂😂
this is one of my favourite series on RUclips.
it makes me less afraid about going up to complete strangers and talking to them.
it also is just an awesome way learn a little more about people, while not invading their privacy
amazing work, keep it up.

Miami is a WIN-WIN! You have Little Havana, Miami Heat, Miami Marlins, CSI: Miami, Warm climate, No snow, People speaking English and Spanish etc.
celtics own heat
We have Little Haiti too. I learned some Kreyòl (Haitian Creole) when I lived there. And I speak English, Spanish, & conversational Portuguese (Brazilian).

Which languages do you speak? American: "I speak English, Croatian, Spanish, French, German, Italian and a bit of Portuguese." Wow how come? " Well, I travelled over Europe for 2 weeks!"
That's like the canadian guy saying he's speaking Patois because he can say Wagwan. 😅
@@Ptitnain2 if he speaks English and he lived in Jamaica for years there's no doubt he can fluently understand patois
And African languages?
@@Ptitnain2 thats not what he said tho? i feel like u didnt actually listen to what he was saying
You've described every European who claims to know languages beyond their home language and English, too.
Americans are more likely to say they don't speak another language unless they've truly mastered it.
Man every time you upload a new video I gotta watch all the previous ones, very simple yet very relaxing, please continue.
Pobre el tipo que se cayó en bici. Me gustó mucho el video.

I speak only Spanish, but now I am learning and speaking English.
I'm learning Spanish
Good for you guys 👍
I know both English and Spanish but I am currently learning Aleman
what I've realized from your city videos that Miami is actually the most diverse of all the cities you've asked for number of languages. I got that feeling in December 2021 also when i visited the city for five days and I live in Florida but I had no idea is so diverse beyond just Spanish, Portuguese, French, Creole. The city was full of languages from EVERY part of the globe and I met people from every part of the world in 5 days. Its wayyyy more diverse than just Latin American languages and is truly on par with NYC, London, Dubai etc as a world class city in terms of # of foreigners and languages.

YAY! I commented that you should go to Miami in your last video & it seems you already did it beforehand😂 I’m from the Miami area & l know English, Spanish, & conversational Brazilian Portuguese (which I learned during the pandemic). I also speak a lot of Kreyòl (Haitian Creole) when I lived in the Little Haiti neighborhood. And I just started studying Indonesian last year. I’m so glad you made this video. Also, the bike crash at the beginning with the Germans was very unexpected but you rolled right through
They also speak french in Haiti not only Creole
@@jeanbolduc5818 that's how i communicate with my cooks- i speak french and it works...
I nearly always stay to the end. 🐢🤣 Did you notice while filming the Germans that there was an accident within view? It may have been a cyclist, I'm not sure. Where in Canada was the man from - did you discuss that off camera? The main issue is, comme toujours, your impressive ability to get strangers to talk to you. Very well done!
He notices alright. He kind of shakes the camera in response as it happens but continues the questioning nonetheless. It was two cyclists and one of them rammed onto the other one both fell off their bikes.
Were those cyclists drunk ? They ran into each other for no reason !
@@qrsx66 I think their brakes which are underneath the handles got intertwined and as soon as that happens you lose control of the bike as both cyclists lose the ability to steer. It has happened to me once or twice and it's not something you can't do much about...don't cycle to close to someone else I guess...It sounds dumb but it happens in a split second and before you know it you're on the ground 😅

I lived in Miami for 5 years and learned Spanish there. You really need to learn Spanish if you wish to live in Miami. I had a girlfriend who was half Cuban and half Puerto Rican whose grandmother had been living in Miami since the 1970s, and her grandmother spoke zero English. You can totally go about your life daily without the need for English there.
Not really, there’s many people who only speak English or people that could only speak Spanish or people that could only speak Kreyol but the most comfortable you could be in Miami honestly is if you speak both English and Spanish trust me born and raised here after one generation the “only speak Spanish” thing dies off the new generation turn bilingual and another generation they might lose the ability to speak Spanish completely like many Hispanic friends I have
Just like the man at 7:08 a second generation immigrant who completely lost Spanish
It really depends on where in Miami you are. I live on the beach and English only is not a problem.
@@kingA400 it depends of the person. If they are not pride of their Hispanic roots, they will adapt i to the American ones
@@kingA400 that is a travesty what you are describing. Is it because spanish is considered a "third world language" or is it more because its "cool" to be mono lingual ?
3:52 "Nas minhas coisas! 😡" Pelo jeito tem muitos brasileiros mesmo em Miami 🧐
That's true
Pois é 😂
E ele não falou com nenhum Hauahuahi
Miami é a cidade dos hispânicos. As cidade que ouvi falar que tem um monte de brasileiros são Newark no estado de Nova Jérsei e Boston no estado do Massachusetts. E nem sei se chegam a ser maioria entre os imigrantes.
vim procurar alguém comentando isso hahahah além do tombo de bicicleta
I've been waiting for this moment. Happy to see a fellow Cambodian that also speaks Khmer! So proud! I need to brush up on my Khmer.
I live in Miami, Florida and I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I speak Italian at an intermediate level 😎 🐢
My heart melted when Montenegrian girl with those beautiful eyes and voice spoke my language
Devojka je Srpkinja iz Crne Gore a ne Montenegrinka.I sama je rekla da je njen maternji jezik Srpski jezik.
I like your concept. And I assume that you too are becoming increasingly worldly by virtue of the questions you pose and the responses that you receive.
Super cool video man! I know all of the areas where you were filming! I love that city so much, its actually the reason why i started learning spanish. Que chido hermano, me encanto' este video...bien hecho!
I’ve been walking around the city lately and have been hearing a lot of other languages other than Spanish and I’m happy one of them is Italian bc I actually know it lol
I have the impression that many people overestimate the number of languages they speak.
Thank you for these videos
You are the best person, brother good luck to you.
FROM UZBEKISTAN ❤🇺🇿
When they tambout 4 languages but Dan doesn't show a clip of them speaking it you know it was a flex 😂😂😂
I’ve never heard Oromo or Somali before but they’re both so beautiful! I was like “ooooo~” 🤣
Im somali
This is why I love being a South Floridian. We have the whole world at every corner ❤ Wouldn't change it for a thing.
Hi, I really like your videos vibe. please continue to make this series 🐢
Today I learned that I have been pronouncing Khmer (the national language of Cambodia) wrong for many years.
🐢 항상 재밌게 보고 있어요 i always enjoy your videos.
Dan, listening your videos i am able to improve my english, thank you, exactly in this moment i dont know if i am writing very well but my ability to listen has improved, thank u so much and God bless you
Awesome video thanks! Miami is my great city!
Kind of surprised by the guy who has lived in Miami all his life and only speaks Spanish.
I don't think he understood the question. He's most likely lives there but wasn't born there.
@@bilingualsecrets that would make more sense
it's actually pretty common. especially in little havana and hialeah. there are big pockets of miami where spanish is really the only language spoken
you don't rly need english in some areas
@@henrystoes6508 Those areas are also where a lot of recent Immigrants live in the Miami area too.
Nice video ! Thanks for sharing.
My native language is Portuguese, and I can speak Spanish (because I used to live in Peru, Argentina and Chile) also I’m able to speak Japanese (went to a language institute in Japan for 4 years ) in addition to that I’m able to speak italian, as I’m an italian citizen (went to Dante Alighieri institute). If I decide to learn another language, it will be mandarin. Actually, My residency is in Florida - USA and I speak English.
Leaning different language is amazing because it isn’t just the language that you learn, will also learn the culture, able to make new friends and opportunities.
Have a wonderful day everyone! 😎
Loved your video, thank you from Canada.
That was fun))) i speak 3 languages....wanna learn some more!! thanx for the video❤
These videos are my motivation for try to learn and learn more, thanks 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
The girl from Montenegro resembles Angelina Jolie. Great video man, keep it up.
These kinds of videos are amazing for i practice english
🐢 Love these, thanks.
Very interesting they find it easy to live in Miami/USA without learning english! I think there is no other english-native speaking city in the world you could live easily without learning english.
El Paso, Texas.
New York
In Canada (atleast western Canada) you pretty much need to know english to function desite how many cultures live here
If you ever go back to Miami, you should visit the neighborhood of Little Haiti. Lots of Haitian creole speakers there
Haitians speak also french .... so american lack of culture
Yeah??? Who wants to go there
@@jeanbolduc5818 Yes, some Haitians also speak French.
No they gentrified the he'll out of that neighborhood it's very different now
Awesome video as always!
(I could swear that at 3:52 I heard "não tem nada nas minhas coisas" spoken with a Brazilian Portuguese accent)
Interesting video, I enjoyed watching 🐢. I am (almost) bilingual, I'm from the UK, but my mum is from Georgia, she can speak Georgian, English and Russian fluently.
I speak two languages, Spanish and English, Spanish bc I was born and raised in Argentina and English bc I love it. Now I'm dating a beautiful Chinese lady, thx to English I can communicate with her. English is a bridge between us, and I will never take that for granted.
Tenes que aprender chino
Well you sure picked the right city for this. Very international. As is NY city and San Francisco Bay Area. I speak English, am conversant in Spanish and the basics in Japanese. 😊
Very cool! T’es vraiment chanceux, tu trouves toujours des personnes trop diverse, n’importe quel ville!
Wow ..I didn't know that in Miami people speaks Spanish a lot . Great video.
You can go by, by speaking only spanish in Miami.
I'm Russian but i wanna learn Spanish because i love it, i love my latin brothers and sisters!
It is on my bucket list to learn russian.. the language of great mathematicians and poets
I've worked with lots of Russians at hotels in south Beach, very hard working and tuff
@@TTony0503So rude
@@leonardoorellano6652Just do it ❤
That was an interesting take. Language is power.
I think making music is a form of communication, too. Music can only convey and spark emotions, so that communication is unique to music itself. It's interesting that music may be written, much like the written word. It is noted that spoken languages have a form of music within. There are cadences, volume fluxes, accents, rests, etc.
Interesting that no one mentioned sign language[s]. Or lip reading. Or mime. I understand that you ask folks about what languages they Speak.
I agree with the lady who mentioned that it becomes easier to learn other romance languages once one has one under control. I can speak and understand some French because I took a semester in high school and one in college. I later lived a couple of winters on the coast in Oaxaca, Mexico, so I learned a lot of Spanish there. Finally, I lived off and on in Brasil for many years, so I am pretty good with Portugues. There was also Portuñol (Spanish spelling) or Portunhol (Portugues spelling) to be encountered regularly in Brasil. it blends Spanish and Portugues. Though I don't use any of the foreign tongues locally, I have somehow retained all that I learned in my travels. At this later stage in my life, I find it easier and easier to understand spoken Portugues and Spanish, such as found on RUclips or wherever. I like to learn more and more. Jeopardy! is my one and only show to watch on T.V. now because the Red Sox and MLB's new rules started sucking worse than gravity. Peace, man. ☺

When I was in Miami, wherever I was, I felt all the time sick, like I was in some really toxic environment full of selfish people, somehow this video was able to capture a quiet side of that place I was not able to notice as I was there, and now I kinda miss it
Hey man I really love your videos and I want to ask you something that crosses my mind sometimes when I watch them. How do you usually approach people in cities like this? They always seem to be so down to talk about themselves and like super comfortable with you. Maybe you're just a really friendly guy, or maybe I just lack the social skills to imagine what it is you're doing, but either way I'm kinda curious.
If you want to talk with someone you don't know him it's just smile when you talk with him and ask him if he can talk with you and say a good words, if you are feeling stressed when you talk with strange one don't worry after you talk with people it's will by normal with you.
I went to miami for a year and after speaking a lot with Haitians, i learnt a bit of Haitian creole, i can speak a bit but i understand everything
omg the people on the bikes!! 😂
0:56 Are we simply going to ignore how two people who didn't know how to ride a bike FELL in front of our eyes???

I used to learn French and Spanish a while ago, but a few days ago, I'm starting to learn Danish!
Is danish hard?
@@kallias.3503 I find Danish one of the easiest languages to learn, but in my experience, I find it a little easier than Spanish and French.
Félicitation !
Just started learning Polish too!
"Is it hard living in Miami without English?"
Love how confidently he shakes his head and goes no. I mean, it's Miami. People speak more Spanish and Kreyol in the city than English.
Only Spanish, Haitian Creole is not more spoken than English in Miami, and even if it was, you’d still need either Spanish or English since almost everything, Business, restaurants, hospitals,etc are translated to Spanish/English.
Waooo realmente disfruto este tipo de contenido en especial cuando se trata de escuchar diferentes idiomas y acentos!! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
The bicycle crash haha😂 i speak Turkish German and Englisch. I was so happy to hear some Turkish in Miami
Gurbetten dönmüş gibi oldum turkish duyunca :)
yea... it can be hard to actually get around some parts of miami without any spanish. there are cubans out there that have never learned a lick of english and do just fine.
As a French with a pretty decent spoken English, I knew Spanish was big in Miami but didn’t expect facing that many language barriers not knowing Spanish 😅
I mean, I know the basics but I almost felt like I was bothering everyone speaking English 😂
Loved it tho ❤
parle-vous le anglais couramment?
@@beachwave5705 Oui, je parle Anglais couramment. Je suis né et j’ai grandi en France mais une partie de ma famille est anglophone (UK)alors je parle Anglais depuis très jeune ;) - et j’habite au Canada depuis 2012.
Je parle aussi un peu espagnol mais pas du tout couramment 🥲
Why ? 😗😉
@@EliasBac Parlez-vous encore français au Canada ?
@@elizabethmerkalova9455 Les 3 années où je vivais à Calgary (Alberta), je parlais très peu Français. Seulement avec le seul Français que je connaissais là-bas 😅
Maintenant je vis à Montréal. Le Français est largement dominant dans la vie de tous les jours. À l’exception de certains quartiers de la ville.
Mais mon travail se passe presque entièrement en Anglais, donc je parle quand même anglais tous les jours (and I like it but don’t tell the Quebecers they’ll me mad at me 🤪). All jokes aside I do love speaking English lol
I’m flying back to France tomorrow for a week to visit my family. Usually that is when I realize my first language slowly morphed from French to Frenglish 🫠
I know I lot of people from my country (Cuba) living there, there all say that they don't need to understand english and they also say that Miami is full of Cubans everywhere so it's kind of interesting to see a little bit more of reality
Hilarious with the wipeout behind. Hope everyone was ok. lol.
The most interesting moment in the video on 0:58 in the left side of the screen 😂
I partly grew up in Miami. You can get along fine without knowing any English.
Good video, I was in Miami recently and talk about the language situation on my channel, in 4 langauges.
Man, I like your video
Two languages, English and Spanish.

Girl at 11:00 don't speak Ukrainian fluently. More likely she is Russian speaking
Given the circumstances, some native Russian speakers from Ukraine are not very comfortable now with their real mother tongue being not Ukrainian)))

Bro, there's always something happening in the background in all of your videos. I love it!
She speaks the two most important languages and that’s what’s important.
Funny how we sometimes forget to say our mother tongue when asked... The Montenegrin lady forgot to say she speaks Serbian until asked about her first language! I wonder how similar Montenegrin is to Serbian (probably very similar / mutually intellegible, since she says Serbian as her first language).
It's the same basically, more simillar than English in different parts of the USA.
7:29 the Montenegro girl is insanely pretty
Yes,she is Serbian from Montenegro 🇷🇸

8:59 I don't know how but I can say they were Turkish even before the conversation lol

Ahaha bende 😅
aksandan anlaşılıyor özellikle kadının görünüş ve aksan
1:09 - funny how guy starts with "Ich.."(I in German) and then switch to English :)
yes I noticed that too lol. quite funny.
That's because he was speaking Norwegian prior and he was probably used to switching between German and Norwegian and German and English, so the "Ich" kind of bridges the two languages in his head. Used to happen to me all the time, switching between two languages that are not your mother tongues needs some practice and getting used to.
9:19 : that's me!
It would be nice to see this kind of video made in Manila :)
"Is Samoan native to Australia?"😭 bruh you need to update your geography knowledge no offence.

Or you can go to Australia for that experience as well, tons of Pasifika ppl there. Cheers.
Not even fazed by dude falling off the bike 😂. Seemed okay thankfully
I wish it wasn't so expensive to live in Miami otherwise I would consider living there. I've visited there and in some parts you would actually think you were in another country. I like the diversity.

Not to be crude, but Miami is the most attractive city you've "interviewed"

Many Colombian and Brazilian people usually learn flawless English when they migrate to the US. Like no accent whatsoever. I've seen many cases.

"Patois" isn't a specific language. He meant Jamaican patois. "Patois" just means "the dialect of a particular region, especially one with low status in relation to the standard language of the country", so there are many patois.
In Jamaica it's typically spelled "Patwa" (referring specifically to the Jamaican patois). So it doesn't just refer to the type of thing it is (a patois), it's also the name for the specific one.
@@tb45g Yes, but he's not being interviewed in Jamaica, and to just be talking about "patois", you have to be specific because there are many patois(es?) around the world. If you're in the USA, speaking in English, and say you speak "Patois", then the first thing to come to mind would be an American English patois, not a Jamaican one.
Patois or ("Patwa") is broken French. its spoken mainly on French colonies like Saint Lucian. I've lived in Jamaica and I've never heard them speaking French. Patois speaking Island include Dominica, French Guiana, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Barts, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, and the Grenadines, Virgin Islands, and Trinidad
