  • We did a fun social experiment / prank where me and two of my white American friends who also speak fluent Mandarin Chinese and some Cantonese (and Spanish!) pretended not to be able to speak English with people in NYC’s Brooklyn Chinatown - and then switched over to perfect Chinese! It was a really fun day and we made lots of awesome connections with people, had lots of great Chinese food, and of course got plenty of funny reactions. Hopefully this can inspire some of you to try and learn other languages!

      For example, my husband is fluent in English, German, and French, and can speak conversational Russian and Spanish. He's currently learning to speak Mandarin.
      I, on the other hand, have a really difficult time learning other languages. I took Spanish in high school and dated a Mexican American man for 2 years. Some of his family barely spoke any English, so they were always trying to hold a conversation with me in Spanish, but my brain just couldn't absorb it, for some reason.

I think it's really cool to speak many languages, but it's not really being super intelligent or super "cultured". Anyone can do it. Today, almost everyone who is not english/american has to learn english. So it's already 2 langages, + the third language we have to learn at school (in France it's german, spanish or italian most of the time). + a lots of people in France have at least 1 parent who speaks another language and they learn it at home... I don't think anyone is "bad" at learning new languages. If you take the time to practice, you get better. If you really want to learn spanish you can, it just takes many years to get reaaally good.

      Find an immigrant community by you. Talking to people really helps as much as if not more than school. I think you'll also find that you don't need to be that good to start using it in public. At first, you're kind of playing this game of charades with others but your brain quickly notices the patterns and you can at least develop a very basic understanding of what's being said. Then, some sort of formal training (even as simply as Duolingo) will push you to be more conversational. It's a very big commitment but is SO worth it in my opinion.

      ​@@veryeasilydistracted4966 No. ethnocentric perspectives are hardly a hallmark of Americans, though that seems to be the current self deprecating narrative. You can go to China, but no matter how hard you try, no one will accept you as Chinese. You can go to America and you will be accepted as American regardless of your race. Try to do that in Italy, Spain, France, or even Sweden. You will fail.

      I went to Italy as part of an opera program, and part of the stay (and one production) was in a small town, where most people spoke only Italian. It was so great seeing people realise that a bunch of foreign performers were in their town to put on an Italian opera in their language. They always seemed so surprised when we switched from English to Italian and told them about the upcoming production.

      Brittany Holtgreven If you're looking for a concrete reason, that is because Spain colonized the Philippines for exactly 333 years. 35% of our vocabulary came from spanish words, like for example, to say chair, we Filipinos say, "silya" we basically changed the spelling to how it is pronounced, meanwhile, the original spelling is "silla" from the spanish roots. But no, not everything is just spanish and Filipino words, what makes Tagalog interesting is that it has mixes of Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia, and other countries that are enclose in South East Asia.

    There is something so cathartic about watching these videos. I love the expressions of Chinese people when they hear their language spoken so well.

      You understand that language isn't limited to skin color right? You're aware of the entire continent of Europe?
