      Being Japanese American, I can say that learning to speak Japanese and learning to write in Japanese are two very hard things to do. There’s 3 alphabets and her tattoo was in kanji which comes from the Chinese writing system. Kanji is more difficult to learn than hiragana or katakana. She probably would’ve gotten it right had she used hiragana. Still, she deserves credit for even trying to learn a difficult language. She did a good job speaking it as well.

      And being able to use ASL signs to copy lyrics in a song is not being able to use ASL since signing word for word isn't ASL. ASL grammar and syntax is completely different than English. At most she was transliterating which means she was using ASL signs in English word order. The hearing cast of A Quiet Place was taught ASL for the movie but aren't considered able to "speak" it.

    • @DieAlteistwiederda
      @DieAlteistwiederda 6 лет назад +71

      TRC 123 she hasn't lived in Germany for many years and only lived here as a child/pre-teen which usually means that people forget a lot about their first language. So yes it is amazing that she can still speak so fluently and without much of an American accent. She is more surround with English these past few decades and still almost sounds like some random person I could meet in South Germany. Yes her parents are German but how many people have parents that have let's say Spanish as their first language and still can't speak the language?

      Language education doesn't really help if people aren't either independently motivated by interest, or driven by profit or necessity. Especially given the state of the American education system, but even if it were less abysmal, it is hopelessly naive to expect that a programme like that could really be effective for the majority of students. It would be far better to focus language education resources on intensive electives for those few students who genuinely want to learn, than to waste them on one-size-fits-all compulsory programmes for the mass of students who couldn't care less and won't retain anything. And in any programme based on student interest, language choices had ought to be varied and interesting, rather than generic and based on mundane factors like immigration patterns; if schools have an opportunity to differentiate themselves from each other according to the languages they offer, all the better for everyone.

      WiggaMachiavelli agree with you !! But learning another language shouldn't only be motivated by interest or profit . Because on top of communication another language helps to extend your horizon and brings more knowlegde pertaining to the culture, customs , history of the language of the spoken countries you are learning .

    When you hear Viggo talk spanish you realize he really is hispanic. Yes he is an American an all that, but his grasp of the language makes him a native spanish speaker. He is on a whole new level. He grew in latin america and he speaks and expreses like a native spanish speakers so i guess you could argue that he is also a latino.

      FrauZwoelfe - I’m sorry, buts it’s not really clear what exactly you are “surprised” by. Are you surprised that many Europeans know more than one language, or that these particular celebrities know more than one language? If it’s the later, I’m not sure why you would be surprised that celebrities might want to speak more than one language. And if it’s the former, you certainly should not be surprised. After all, Europe is made up of many small countries crammed together in a space the size of the United States and due to the great rail system (and the European Union) it’s easier to visit neighboring countries than it is for us to visit neighboring states here in the USA. Also, as English has become somewhat of an international language it only makes sense that many people in many countries are going to know English as well as their own native language.
      By the way, you might want to consider deleting your second comment as it actually makes you look rather uneducated yourself - either that or just an ignorant snob. You may not have meant it that way but that's how it looks nevertheless. And you do realize of course that the video is about celebrities who speak more than one language and is NOT about Americans who speak more than one language.

Probably, he was exposed to quite a bit of English growing up. That is, unless his mother was a Danish speaker who just happened to have US citizenship.

      It is far from a given that a child will speak a certain language just because your parents did. Some parents want their children to learn English and fit in better with their English peers. I grew up with two grandparents who spoke no English and a father who learned English during his elementary school years. I don't speak Ukrainian and neither do (did) any of my siblings. My grandfather came from Ireland but I know nothing about the Irish (Gaelic) language.

      It actually isn't, in fact.

Sometimes this is a deliberate decision by the parents with a view to encouraging cultural assimilation in to the new host country.

      Sadly, an amazingly high percentage of Americans manage to grow up around other languages yet not learn any of them.

My ex's brother-in-law and his parents all grew up with Polish speaking (grand)parents and lived in a Polish speaking neighborhood yet they managed to become monolingual English speakers.
