- People on the street had a seizure when they suddenly heard me speak their language. I went to Taiwan and talked to people on the streets in different Asian languages and you won't believe this actually happened.

I know everyone wants to do everything on their own with no help, but it won't work well with learning Asian languages. If I only self-studied, I wouldn't even be half as good as I am today. Start taking this seriously with a tutor and learn to read and write here:

and you truly are amazing at these languages, don't ever think you aren't!!
If you seriously want more subscribers, you need to be uploading at least two video per week.
My wife was born in the Philippines. She had a filipina friend who was married to a Japanese guy that was temporarily working at a car parts plant here in the USA. One day we were helping them move and her friend was spinning in circles talking to her husband in japanese, my wife in tagalog and me in english. I was just in awe that she could do that. I really envy people like this that can speak multiple languages. Very impressive! Congratulations on your hard work.
I had a friend who speaks fluent English, Spanish, German and French. We were at an international meeting and she did the same thing without any hesitation. Amazing to watch!
We have a couple that are Amish and Colombian they are deliberately raising their kids trilingual. They knows who speaks which language and use it automatically. Learning a second language makes new neural connections in the brain. These kids are going to be brilliant
Thats kind of normal here in South Africa were almost all people are bi-tri or multi-lingual using multiple languages in a casual conversation is considered normal here.
I,m from NC and i,m not even good at English yet,amazing
I think most of the world is multi-lingual.. Not uncommon for Asians to be fluent in 4+ languages, Europeans to be fluent with 3 or more...
I love these. I went to a "Chinese" restaurant in rural US with a friend who lived in China for many years. She spoke to the hostess and then switched to that young woman's dialect and she burst into tears hearing her own language for many years. It means so much when we make the effort.
aww that's amazing.
I learned how to say "Thank you, have a great day!" (Which was harder than I expected.) and the little old lady at my favorite Chinese restaurant got so excited. Even a little can mean a lot.
Makes me smile...thanx
Now if we could only get them to make the effort, nope, they're here for forty or fifty years and can't be bothered to even make an attempt.
That is amazing. I can only speak norwegian, scottish dialects and a bit of ukrainian.. some spanish....
The mom’s face on the train was priceless! People were so thrilled you could speak to them in their language❤️. How amazing to be able to speak multiple languages!
Thank you so much! I hope you subscribe today and enjoy more of my videos. There’s lots!
@@OrientalPearl You’re a fellow Michigan girl, is that right? Either way, I’m subscribed😁
Yes she was lookin like she was in another dimension or somehting!
She looks like she's in pain. She cannot comprehend what is happening right now. 😲
I don't know what is wrong with me. I can't even watch this because it makes me cry so much. People are wonderful everywhere, such smiles and joy.
Bro when the clips ended and she was just talking to the girl from Oita next to the one writing, the girl was beaming with excitement omg the facial expressions priceless
You have empathy and that's a beautiful thing
Dunno about everywhere lol? Western countries have gone pretty downhill and rude in recent history lol.
Nothing is wrong with you. Everything is right with you.
@@amallulla2000 thank you. You made me smile today!
I’m not sure what I am more impressed by, your astounding skills at both Chinese and Japanese, or your personality, the way you interact with people. You seem to have the knack of bringing out the best in people.
Her interactions seem a lot more genuine. A lot of polyglots on other channels seem to treat people like props and come across as insincere and just chasing views. Pearl also has a command of the languages beyond party trick level and is actually interested in talking to people.
yup. not doing it to flex but on sum genuine ahh level, that's what u call a sincere person :> @@stevenjon1347
They are such homogenous societies that seeing a blond woman in the first place must be somewhat exciting. That she can seamlessly move between languages is probably mind blowing for most of them.
It's because she's white and they're Japanese.
What I like is that she’s a very happy, friendly person, and the language skills she possesses are just incredible. What a goodwill ambassador from the United States.
The interaction at the Chinese shop at 8:00 was my favourite in the video. The woman seems beaming with happiness and surprise that you speak not only her language but her husbands. It’s unbelievably sweet.
I’m glad that you stuck around until the end to see that part.
Just in the video? Then please give me some of your favorite moments in other videos :)
It was my favorite part too! It's amazing how warm and open the Asian cultures are. I normally associate this with Americans especially (just being willing to talk to strangers on the street randomly haha, as opposed to France where they think you're a psycho if you talk to a stranger on the street), so it was so nice to see this as a part of another culture!
Luar biasa, skill bahasanya epic. Love from 🇮🇩
She was a very sweet person.
The lady on the train from 5:33 was really surprised. It looked like she didn´t breath for several minutes, mouth open... soooo funny. Like your videos a LOT. Keep them comming!
Yes but not because of the Japanese language initially, it was because a foreigner woman spoke to her husband, all kinds of scenarios were going through her head, and Japanese people are very "introverted" so being approached like that was shocking initially... after that, yes, she was also in shock because she spoke both JPN and CN. Oriental Pearl is amazing
You deserve more than a million, Pearl. 🎉 Thanks for showing us these beautiful places and peoples.
Thank you so much 😀 I hope we get there.
@@OrientalPearlJust a matter of time haha
You talking to those people on the train is like a chess grandmaster playing multiple games at once! :D
Ha ha, thanks friend. I like the analogy.
I was once talking with my friend in german and he answered in english. It was just more comfortable to vocalize our feelings like this, since we are both fluent in those languages.
But the people around us were slightly confused of what is going on. 😂
My sister and I have been studying Japanese for some time. We both took a course in Akita and she's actually in Tokyo right now for 3 months of study. She's much better at forming sentences than I am so when she speaks to me I also reply in English. @@jensino
@@jensinoLol, that’s awesome!
I hope i learn chinese because i live here and its hard to talked with them😅
I NEVER GET TIRED OF SEEING THE SURPRIZED LOOKS ON PEOPLES FACES WHEN YOU SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGES!! I also love how its such an ice breaker too!
1.02 Million subscribers you did it, Gratz
Watching people light up when you speak their native tongues when they expect you to communicate in English just brings so much joy to me, it's so cute I would never get tired of that haha.
Your channel is unique and much more interactive / educational than the others I've seen. Here's to hoping you get those 1 million subscribers and others donate to help you keep going as well.
Wow, thank you so much. You’re one of only a handful of people that’s used this feature on my channel. I really appreciate your help in paying for the travel expenses with filming these video.
@@OrientalPearl You're the best, AnMing. I wish you all the bet luck in the world, and only do as much as you can do. If you end up just showing "hey this is me getting off work" - You will make it interesting, because, that is you!
Oriental Pearl gets an average of $5 per thousand views according to my social media geek son. Some of her videos are hitting in excess of a million views. That equates per million at $5,000 PER video. I'm in the wrong business.
@@stevenhull5025 I've lost at least 3 channels in the last 6 months that just stopped making content without warning.. Pearl is actually the most transparent youtuber i've seen when I did a binge watch of her videos when i became fan earlier last year (i think) and she actually explained how the revenue works - this is why so many YTubers are doing patreon or doing the donate buttons nowadays. She is in no way hitting those numbers and that was when she was doing the "its so shocking" videos, and had more viewers. Most ppl hate YT and use Ad Blockers and some of us have subscriptions. The only reason I started subscribing to channels and making sure i watched an entire YT all the way through was because Pearl explained the ins/outs on one of her vids. RUclips doesnt pay if the entire vid isnt watched; or sometimes if an ad is skipped; or if the people watch but aren't subscribed; you get a diff amt if your watch number vs subscribed and watched ratio is different;-- BASICALLY anything for google to not pay. I rarely donate, but I've done it like 4 or 5 times in the last 2 yrs after noticing my faves have less content or not coming back at all. (and even when one of my favorite RUclipsrs was getting 3 mill views 8 yrs ago, he would show his check, it was only about 1400-2000)
i wish I could give as well. you are expressing a dream of mine.
It's amazing how people open up to you when you speak their language. I'm Dutch and I've been living in Peru for the last two years, learning some Spanish. When you're in another country, the locals will respect you more (and scam you less) if you speak their language, for sure.
¡Buenas noches desde Perú!
That’s awesome that you’re learning Spanish!
@@OrientalPearlThank you so much! Living in another part of the world and in another culture is awesome. But honestly? Learning how to speak Japanese and Chinese, even in multiple dialects in five years, now that is really awesome. But ok, having a Japanese partner helps a lot, I should find myself a Peruvian girlfriend haha!
I went to Peru to study (experience) all the master plants (medicine plants, teacher plants), this by doing the masterplant dietas and ceremonies. I'm doing this to heal myself, to become a better person and to become a maestro de las plantas, a teacher, myself.
I believe everybody should travel in the world or stay abroad for at least a couple of years, as it's very good for the overall development of the individual too.
@@Random_user_8472well done sir haha🥰🤗
@@Random_user_8472 Agreed. People really should learn to get along with other people both at home and from other parts of the world. Earth would be a much a better place now...
@@jamescurfman3284Thank you James, you perfectly understand my point! If I ever go back to The Netherlands I'm sure that my perspective on foreigners and immigrants has changed big time, just by being a foreigner myself for a while and actually encountering racism. Here in Peru I am the gringo, it's an interesting experience. Sometimes I just smile and say: Oye, tal vez yo soy un gringo, pero no estoy estupido (hey, I maybe a white guy, but I'm not stupid), that breaks the ice many times 😄
I love watching you interact with the local people. You are so kind and complimentary to them ❤️
You should be idolised for showcasing your talent and inspiring other people. Any praise you get is well deserved. I really enjoy your videos
You are such a positive representative of America. I love seeing everyone chat with you, and your speech is so kind and encouraging to everyone. I wish that everyone in the world could chat like this with each other. ❤️
Awww, that is so sweet of you to say.
Well said, and I agree! Thank you @OrientalPearl.
I am a Chinese person. After watching this video you posted, I am very grateful for your help in promoting our traditional Chinese culture to the world. I wish you a happy life in Taiwan and you always a beautiful ambassador for the dissemination of traditional Chinese culture!
Aww, thank you for your sweet words 😊
I believe as diverse as Americans are this would be considered normal for us.. Or well to me it is. So, I'm cereous, doesn't people study different languages over there? People over here studies all different type of languages so to see this it would be normal to us. Is this rare to you all?
@@OrientalPearl I can't speak their language but obviously you surprised them, and they complimented you and said you was amazing. So, if they said it then I agree with them! Awesome!!!
Isn't China and Taiwan two different countries?
@@e-milk1211 Sure
I think your wish came true with over a million subscribers., and more. Great work, your amazing! I Pray our relations in America with China continue to improve and you are doing a really great service. thank you so much!
I have zero interest in learning any new languages but i still watch your videos because it makes people smile and it makes me smile knowing people like you bring people around the world closer by just speaking their language and making them feel good. You, Xiaoma, and Laoma. The only multi language speaking people I watch just for the specific type of content you 3 provide.
I’m glad you’re enjoying these videos even though you aren’t studying any languages.
Here’s to 1 Million Subscribers before the end of the year! We can do it, anything is possible. It’s a joy you were able to go to Taiwan. I never knew so many Japanese visited and even went to University in Taiwan. I hope he’s successful on his studies and the girl too in Seattle. It’s interesting how you always seem to find language learners like you wherever you go. The law of attraction I suppose? 😅 I hope you enjoyed your trip and all the memories you made along the way 💜
Thank you Wushaw! I’m glad to have to as the channel moderator too. It’s more of an honorary position. I won’t make you work lol
@@OrientalPearl Thank you so much! I simply love your channel and everything you’re about 💜
thanks for reminder
Haha cool
Dutch guy in Peru? Be careful bro that didn’t go so well for the last Dutch guy, Joran
You'll definitely get to 1 million soon, Anming! Thank you for all your hard work on all of the videos.
Ha ha, it’s been an uphill battle the last two months.
I love these videos, Chinese seems so hard, I speak a little Spanish, and a little Arabic, and Swahili. I am also from Detroit(Richmond/armada now but born and raised in the D) I learned Arabic from friends I grew up with, as you know Dearborn has the highest population of Arabs outside the Middle East. I learned Swahili in Tanzania. Traveling through Africa I was amazed at how many languages most people speak over there. It’s common for most Africans to speak 5 or more languages, and their English is always so good as well🤙😎
Nice, L heard Arabian is very hard. I am Chinese and I feel French is much hard than English. But I am really enjoy to talk with my neighbors in French😅
Yes, my husband is African, he can speak 4 languages. I am English, and I can only speak 2 languages fluently, and 1 other which I am still learning ❤
Okay, I don't know how this showed up in my feed, but I was SO impressed by your language skills and overall personality that I was forced to subscribe. Keep up the good work, hope you hit your one million soon.
Thank you for subscribing. I hope you watch many more of my videos today. You’ll love them.
You are amazing 👏🏻
You get looks from them and views from us because you are skilled! I hope you find ways to battle discouragement; we have all been there at some time and it can be difficult to climb out.
I'm slowly learning Japanese and have a dream of living in Japan some day. While my job situation would allow it, the thought alone seems a bit daunting when I have three kids...and two cats haha. Thank you for your videos!
*Thanks for your generosity...*
That’s awesome that you’re now learning Japanese! I’m so grateful to have you here. Thank you for helping to cover the costs of travel so I can make more videos. Best wishes to you, your kids, and your cats.
those people are so polite and gentle! I'm always impressed at videos like this one. Your language skill is top notch!
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you liked this video. Please enjoy some more of my videos today and subscribe.
I love your enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing these recordings.
What a lovely and intelligent young woman who not only speaks these difficult languages and dialects for goodness sake but is also up on her geography. I wish there were more people like her.
I always feel like people who can speak multiple languages have a super power--especially those who've learned some languages from Asia that would appear to be much more difficult than learning spanish for instance. It's very impressive!
ikr its like you change into a different way of thinking and understanding the little aspects of people, it's hard to explain. Like you're able to open up to people and have them open up to u
When you're learning languages, your brain starts making connections between them. The first extra language you learn is a bit more difficult than the subsequent languages, because technically you have to "rewire" your brain into it. But after that it becomes a bit easier. Of course it's easier learning related languages, so if for example you learn spanish, it'll be a piece of cake to learn italian/portuguese/romanian/french etc. If you learn a germanic language, like swedish for example, you'll easily jump to danish/norwegian/dutch afterwards. There is a challenge learning a language that is completely unrelated to the ones you speak, but then you just do a bit of rewiring again. I have only taken japanese lessons a few years ago, and it didn't seem that difficult. What was difficult with it, is that I had to shake off the mentality of other languages. Like, in my native language, there are tenses for almost every single moment in time that you might be talking about, while in japanese they only have 2 tenses, and their continuous forms. It was hard to get my mind around the fact that I don't have to be too specific. Once you get that mentality working though, it becomes easier. Writing was a bitch, but oh well ;)
Polyglots don't have super powers, they have discipline, curiosity and determination. Everyone can do it, at their own pace. Don't get discouraged about learning a new language, it's always very rewarding when you get to use it - even if it is to shock the people around you :P
Not as difficult as learning more words and concepts in the same language. And you learn more about the world too.
learning spanish is impresive as well, is a hard language also, find it funny you use it as an example of easy :P
apparently english is one of the more difficult ones to learn, because we have so man nonsensical rules and meanings for words that are spelled and pronounced the same. the concept that the sentence "buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo" is grammatically correct is tough to wrap your head around even as a native english speaker. can only imagine the brain chaos that could cause to somebody trying to learn english.
Thanks! I really enjoy your channel and hope you continue to grow!
Wow, thank you so much Thomas. That really means a lot. I’d like to go outside of Japan more and film more videos, but I can only do so many because of the travel costs. I really appreciate your help.
5:45 The mom's face throughout the whole exchange is priceless! Love these kind of videos. Subbed!
all her videos is full of positive vibes
As all things should've been. Sad, the world is going through sh*t rn.
Agree😊
I agree, it's fun and lovely. When she speaks to people and they are happy, it is wonderful.
Oriental Pearl is respected everywhere she goes. I am as impressed as everyone she encounters ❤
All her videos are full of positive vibes 😊
Fun video. I'm always so amazing at how you're not just able to speak multiple languages, but how good you are at having random conversations with strangers.
They often seem not just impressed by your language skills but excited to speak it with you.
I think thats because you are so genuinely friendly and respectful.
Awww, thank you.
100%
it's always so much fun to see you switch between languages so seamlessly. That transition between japanese, english and chinese was really impressive :D
love your videos
Glad you enjoy it!
It's sweet to watch this and have YT say it's 1.29M subscribers when you were hoping for 1M :) Keep up the good work, always interesting stuff :) I'm in Portugal, population 10M country-wide, so 1M+ is insanely cool.
And yeah, I learned about the first 100 kanji and it's hard to memorize all of it and the different readings and also speedily read whilst processing all of it. Looking at myself doing it it's like watching a machine running overdrive close to crashing, eheh.
BTW, as usual, never gets old watching people's happy faces reacting to a foreigner speaking their native language. I have a soft spot for that as well
Great video! Really entertaining to see people’s faces light up, when they hear their language(s!) coming from you.
You’re a wonderful ambassador for your home country. Thank you!
Thank you for being such a wonderful ambassador for those of us in the US - too few of us travel overseas and even fewer know a second language. Subscribed :)
I love watching your videos. Your interactions with the people you meet are inspiring and heart felt, you put a smile on my face and peace in my heart listening to you speak with others. Your such a beautiful young lady both inside and out and so sweet and kind the way you treat others, your truly a rare and precious Pearl.
I love how you can switch from one language to another so seamlessly. :)
I agree, it's so impressive
One day when your channel will be huge you’ll remember all the struggles with fake channels and not doing the videos you really love but it will be worth it in the end. Just keep going and being real and you’ll achieve what you really strive for!
I hope we can all look back on this time and laugh. September and October were pretty hard.
as a fellow American. you are pretty amazing learning all these eastern asian languages. it's pretty hard from my perspective, but anyhow i give you my sub and like. thanks for the great content. I love to see the native people's reaction seeing a westerner speak their language. it's priceless
Thank you so much for subscribing! I’ll have more videos like this coming soon.
This really made me smile. The minute you started speaking their language, their smiles were priceless! I wish I could speak other languages! It shows me that people are friendly and interesting no matter where you are from.
As a Hispanic-American that loves Asian cultures, your videos bring so much positive energy. I have met a few Chinese, Japanese, and Korean families in my line of work, and truly have loved them. They are wonderful people.
Love it, love it, love it!!! All their reactions are so great! You switching between all those languages is just awesome. Even if you walk around in Japanese cities, I still watch and am just as amazed. Keep up the great stuff.
I think you deserve the compliments you are getting..You are amazing speaking their languages so fluently.
Im rather bad at chinese, pretty good at japanese and really good at korean... I get compliments in reverse order... the most in chinese because people want me to feel good and the least in korean because it is amazing for about three seconds and then they treat me like a korean and I never hear about my speaking ability again.
Love how great your pronunciation is in all the languages.
Thank you! 😃
Listening and seeing the people’s reactions is bringing me such joy! I’m smiling ear to ear 😊 Thank you so much ❤
I rarely feel jealous, and I don't really feel it now but oh my gosh I wish I could speak these languages like you do. It's so amazing to connect to folks on that level.
I think you mistake jealousy for envy. ;)
Truly impressive how well you speak each language and how quickly you can interchange them. I've been trying to learn Korean for about a year and my brain is just not having it lol.
You have to put a lot of time into the language. I did 20 hours a week for Chinese and Japanese effort a few years straight.

Wow, oriental pearl, the confidence of your being able to switch from speaking Japanese to Chinese on the train, is really admirable. What a really uplifting video to watch. There are so many lovely people about on your travels.
I'd been wondering where you were! Your videos had disappeared from my timeline for nearly a year! Then I saw your post about scammers so I went to your channel... don't give up, you'll get to 1 million. You're such a positive influence. Your dedication and hard work in regards to learning languages is quite inspiring. You're such a lovely girl, so much fun! I wish you all the best.
People don’t have the notification bell on so I have to depend on the algorithm. It really burns me out.
@@OrientalPearl It does happen even with the bell on. I know that from personal experience. I am subbed to just plain too many channels for YT to keep up with. The cap is 500 channels, I think (?) because I am not a content creator myself. If I was a content creator, I might be able to sub to a much larger number of channels. Anyway, it's a bad habit of mine but I sub to so many channels when I find something I like, and I like a variety of content. But even with the bell on, channels just don't show up in my noti feed or in the side-queue...it happens.
I love to see the excitemvnt in people's faces when you speak to them in their mother tongues. It's so awesome how you're able to switch between Mandarin and Japanese.
And the shock when she tells them she's American (and NOT Russian, which is also funny).
@@jamescurfman3284it's hard to tell Russians and White Americans apart
@@Nick-dr4ec Agreed. Or Swedes, Finns, Norwegians, etc.
I admire folks who're multilingual SO much! Congrats for studying and learning these languages - reading/speaking/writing - which is so much harder and more complicated than just speaking them. I do find it amusing and fun when folks are stunned that you speak the language, but you know how most Westerners are when abroad, so I can't entirely blame them for the assumption. However, most of the folks you showed seemed to be very gracious and cheery about the surprise. Nice video, thanks for sharing! Think I'm going to subscribe, too. 😁👍🏻
I respect, in all honesty, how you are open and honest with us, your subscribers and e-friends; we wish to see more, we wish for more people to join but that is only achievable if we work together and help you. Trips are not cheap but when they happen you make the most honest, heartwarming and exciting videos, so it is all well worth it. I also read comments and saw how people are proud of you as a 'US rep' but, at least in my eyes, you are a great human representative in the world where - one day - we may all communicate with each other the way you are able to already - not just through language but, smile, passion, compassion and empathy. I just want to say 'thank you' and keep up the amazing adventures - I remain a supporter :)
A true inspiration to all. I wish you lots of subscribers and fortune. Thank you x
I really appreciate that. I hope you enjoy more of my videos today.
Always so fun to watch people's reactions to you speaking their language!
Great video! I'm learning 日本語 right now and I feel like this was the first video I've ever watched were I felt like I understood most of what was said. I don't have a huge vocabulary, but I heard a lot of words I've learned recently. It was very encouraging for me! Thanks for making great videos!
Keep up the good work.
I can't actually speak or read Chinese or Japanese myself so I will just have to guess that you are talking about Mandarin Chinese. It's really a fifty-fifty and I NEVER win if I bet money... lol
You are totally amazing, what a linguist! An inspiration to us all, am learning Japanese now.
I love your adventures!! ❤ Good luck to achieve 1 million!
This is great, your ability to slide back and forth between Japanese and Mandarin is amazing! enjoy the heck out of your vids! Gambatte kudasai!
I have been following your channel for so long but this video with your interaction with the Chinese/Japanese couple in the supermarket was special. Never stop creating amazing content like this it is so inspiring and great to watch it always makes me smile!!
I’m glad that you enjoyed that part so much. I just filmed that little clip 2 days ago.
I was smiling all the way through this, it's really appreciated you can speak their language, truly heart warming, I could never get to grips with French, let alone attempting, Japanese, Chinese and local dialects, you're a true legend! 😁♥👍
I worry a bit that your head will explode with all that language learning 😮. It is amazing to see and hear your proficiency and your social skills.
You will stay younger for longer, and probably ward off dementia, by being multilingual😁
its so good so many people took you on and chatted in various languages,Travelling Japan in recent times with my family there were so many studying English who would come and sit with our family and interact just to speak a little English with us,Beautiful people.
I believe it’s your accent when speaking the languages that amazes everyone ❤️
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I hope you subscribe today and enjoy more of my videos.
Her japanese accent is trash... not sure about the chinese accent because im not that great myself but doesn't sound like a chinese person.
I really enjoyed listening to the conversation on the train. I think it's rare to see that kind of natural, flowing conversation on youtube. The videos I've seen on youtube are either interviews or slow-teaching videos, and not really a spontaneous conversation like you would see out on the street (or train!). ありがとございます！
I stumbled onto your video for the first time, I am amazed. My wife is Icelandic, I am Japanese. She speaks about 4 Nordic languages fluently and ended adding Japanese with ease. Myself, I struggle learning Icelandic and gave up. I don't know if it's a gender thing or perhaps geo-cultural but some people find languages easier than others. You however are on a different level, almost witchcraft!
That’s so amazing that you’re learning Icelandic. What a cool language!
witchcraft is crazy 👽🗿
Study Old English and German so you can get a feel for how similar all the Germanic languages really are.
Here's a quick and dirty trick. The Normans invaded England in 1066. Think of all the things that already existed in England at that time. Those words will be pretty much the same in all the Germanic languages today. Also, sometimes less common English words will be the more common ones in the other languages. Example. You don't live in a place, you DWELL in a place. another word for bottle is flask. Start reading the history of the English language. Try reading Shakespeare. Another tactic is to look up Anglish, that's English with all the Latin borrowings removed.
@@ak5659 You are 100% spot on. I did not know the history linking old English to Icelandic (North Germanic) until I googled after reading your reply. This perfectly coincides with my basic Icelandic that I have learnt from my wife. Words like "kald" = cold and "fisk" = fish etc. I find English an easy language to learn as I studied it in school in Japan, when I finished university, I worked abroad in Australia and UK (England), I guess the birthplace of the English language. Thank you for the advice, I shall try reading more old English as a precursor. I really envy people that can speak multiple languages so easily, such as Oriental Pearl and most likely, yourself.
You're so amazing. My husband speaks 4 languages, and after all of these years, I still only speak my native tongue. Some people got it, some people don't. You have a super power! Love you videos! Love how you spread the joy of reaching across cultures.
some people put the work in, everyone can learn languages
@@James_zai_dongbeithat's just not true. I've been trying to learn Spanish for years and I still can't get the hang of it. Some people learn quicker than others.
Wow, you should be working for the US Department of State, not just because of your awesome language skills, but because of your ability to connect to the individuals in these nations. I speak three languages myself, but it is not an easy process. You make it seem effortless with your excellent rapport and grasp of dialects.
Ha ha that was my plan originally and now I’m making RUclips videos full time.
@@OrientalPearl Japanese, Chinese? Try to learn Polish. ;)
@@OrientalPearl Do both. The world needs you and your skills.
her chinese really isnt that impressive lol
Yep, She has controlled the tones so she sound like a native. I have seen so many western people speak fluent Chinese but hen they talk I know right away Chinese is not native language for them.
So much respect for you and your abilities. I lived in China for 3 years and managed well speaking but never managed more than the basics reading and writing…….. keep learning as many languages as you can 😁
I just love the way she shows the cultures of different countries. She is an absolute gem doing these podcasts. Please, please, please keep them coming ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow you are so amazing and give great advice! I'm definitely considering learning Japanese
You should! It's a fun language.
awesome... love the premise... love the concept... love the delivery. Great show.
it's impressive how you can switch between multiple languages in no time without malfunctioning
it's impressive for a mono lingual person
Dude. I only know my native tongue (Spanish) and above-average English, and it gets a bit hard to switch between both when speaking. Wouldn't even imagine how hard it'd be to switch between more!
Yes,being able to switch is a totally separate skill in my opinion. Even harder is keeping track of who speaks what. Sooooooo ..... manymis-switched mis-switched and talked to people in the wrong language!
Nice video, love seeing all the positive reactions to your language skills & geographical knowledge!
I dont know what it is but you just send out those amazing happy vibrations! Everyone you interact with and even the ones in the backround are so bloomin happy. Keep being you 頑張れ
It's so weird. This was so inspiring, in that last conversation I kinda teared up. It was so heart warming to see the appreciation, the fascination and the genuine caring interactions that you had with the Chinese & Japanese couple. I'm an instant subscriber. What a cool trip you took us on with such amazing emotion & such kind, genuine encounters. Well done. Thank you so much.
I like how you flip between Japanese and Chinese - the looks your are getting feels me dialect , intonation, accent, syntax must be spot on
I love seeing the surprise and joy you put on people's faces when they realise you speak both Chinese and Japanese fluently. People warm to you instantly. It must be a great feeling for you to have such an amazing and rare gift of languages.
Wow! You are so amazing! Watching people stare at you in awe....with their mouths open....when you speak their language is so fascinating! I'm so jealous! What a wonderful power to have when interacting with other humans! You've definitely earned a subscriber here! 👏🙏
Thank you for subscribing. I hope you watch many more of my videos today. You’ll love them.
Learning different languages are so fun and unforgettable experience love your videos so much are so fun and the interactions are so nice have a nice day.
You obviously have a gift for languages & switch from one to another really easily. Amusing to see the people’s reaction when you speak in their language + write.😊
Wowowow, your multilingual skills and your channel are amazing. Brought tears to my eyes. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for making the world a better place, breaking down language barrier and difference. Amazing video! Love it.
It's so unifying to see Chinese and Japanese in the same place, people talking to each other past the language barrier because of you :)
Well, that's Taiwan for you. I bet you could also find situations like that in the Philippines. They are very mixed over there, almost as big of a mix as we have in the U.S. And I hear Singapore is similar.
@@jamescurfman3284 Filipinos are racist
Yeah, probably more commoon in Taiwan, than on China mainland...
@@thefantasyreview8709The Chinese will never forgive Japan. And I’m afraid, in Korea it’s similar.
And the sad past history.
O'h yes, watched 👀 to the end 😊.
Just love it when you catch them out !!
Greatly admire your ability to learn so much.
I think 🤔 you have to have a little something special to learn different languages 😉.
Love just listening to you speak, and fully appreciate what you do.
Even though I do not understand what you are saying 😕 I still get great pleasure from your videos.
Good luck, good health, and prosper well on your journey through life 🙏.
Cheers, Les, 🇬🇧 UK. ( I guess Americans would say LEZ , But that's how Les is said over here. )
You deserve all of the followers! I really enjoy your videos in other countries and sharing cultures!
Glad you like them!
You are amazing! I've always admired polyglots. I can only speak one other language fluently (Spanish). I can get generally "get by" in Italian and know numbers and a bunch of phrases in about seven or eight other languages. I've also dabbled some ALS and LESSA. Aside from aptitude, I guess it comes down to desire and how much time one is willing to put in to it. I'm so jealous. Great job!
This actually IS amazing. Good job! Very inspiring as well.
Keep it up!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad these videos inspire you. Please subscribe and enjoy more of my videos.
New subscriber; been to Japan several times but only know the polite basics. .Wish our school systems in the US had more/earlier emphasis on other languages. You're a huge inspiration!
I’m from the Netherlands, a small country in Europe. And because our country is so small, most people speak multiple languages. For us abroad is very close! Almost everyone speaks English, most people in the east speak German as well. After that French is spoken by a lot of people.
I like the Netherlands.
You mean you butcher the language of love? This is fluent. 😂
Something even crazier is the amount of dialects there... over 450 distinguishable dialects 😅
Funny that you felt a need to add a description for Netherlands! 😂
@@OrientalPearl I liked the Netherlands until they voted far right.
So impressed with your willingness to speak to people - trying out even different dialects in Chinese! I just think you do a lot to break down people’s stereotypes Re: Americans & westerners is general! ❤
I do have to admit when someone is at work and they hear their native language, it is kinda of off guard
I love this. It's so much fun as a guest in country to speak to locals in their own language because their reactions are often priceless. It opens lots of doors and eventually even friendships too.
I am amazed and pleased that you as an American, are represented in such a positive way to the Chinese and Japanese people. Continued success to you.
These videos are so cool.....hope you realise you're doing more than just making youtube content, you are in fact connecting people, bringing them closer together by breaking down barriers and stereotypes. Awesome, love it. ✊️
Thank you so much! I hope you subscribe today and enjoy many of my other videos.
this woman is incredible, so much admiration and respect
Amazing production quality! And of course I'm always impressed by your language skills
Thank you very much! I’m working on getting better at editing.
@@OrientalPearl Looks like you also have better camera work all the way around. You are improving in many ways, just by sheer practice alone. :)
