Hey family! The purpose of this conversation is to promote understanding and unity for MATURE conversations. No racist or disrespectful comments will be tolerated.
Y’all seem like y’all like different cultures and places around the world why don’t y’all each take a Dna test with Ancestry and make a video about the different places that make up where y’all come from
@@reisanderson9069 We don't agree with some of the practices involved in the DNA kits.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Oh it’s totally safe and fine Ancestrydna is not only the most accurate along with 23&me but also have a very strict privacy procedure for there customers I’ve taken all three test actually along with millions of other people around the world
Thank you family. We are all one underneath. No one greater than the other. No country to be disrespected. Content is the topic at hand. Attacks on people and their countries dampens the mood. We are all brothers and sisters. Peace and love to all. ☮️

Americans rate English according to accent. You can speak good English in any accent. I personally think different accents make the world very interesting, I love it.
Yes , I've been saying this
Nope
I agree.
Accents are great and make for interesting listening.
Funny thing is I’m from a Nigerian family in the uk and a lot of Nigerians speak better English than some English people themselves
@@queenbbeaute2654 Nope for who?we call yours american jargons...don't get in your feelings..
🙄😒
Imagine if we had to explain that we have a country inside South Africa🙆🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣.
We educate on this channel😊🏔🌨
I know right but truth be told alot of our african brothers and sisters dont know about that country within southafrica
Waitsi keng my guy, ebile It's two countries surrounded by SA🙆😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅
Exactly!!! I'm still fascinated by that fact... Beautiful thang 🙌🏾
Bona! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
We don't speak French in South Africa ,and it is not one of our official languages
Yea we do it may not be an official language but it is taught in some schools
Naai man I'm sure theres a lot of mense that speak french in South Africa maybe not locals tho but yeah, when my uncle stayed in the DRC he had to learn how to speak French . But yeah it's not one of our official languages
@@thamsanqelandabeni3344 only private schools that caters for French speaking people who migrated to South Africa we DO NOT speak French in South Africa
@@thamsanqelandabeni3344 you don't speak it cos it's not an official language. Just how Ghanaians, Moroccans don't speak Spanish but it is taught in schools.
@@thamsanqelandabeni3344 even if French is taught in 'some' schools, you dont speak French in SA
Hey Family, there are over 2000 languages spoken in Africa, and almost all Africans speak 3-4 languages. And Africa is a continent with 54 Countries and each of these countries has 20 tribal languages, 16 languages, 11 languages, and so on. so you will notice when an African speaks the English language it's not going to be clear because it is not the only one they speak. Some speak Portuguese, Spanish, English, and French. So it's just crazy. I like your video, you guys are willing to learn new things. Thanks
2000
Actually its more than 200 languages it's alot
**2000
Nigeria got about 500 languages but in Africa is 2000 languages
I think the countries are now 56.
it is nice to see there are black Americans care about Africa ✊🏾
Its all love !
@@TheDemouchetsREACT we love y’all

The classic ones:
Does it rain in Africa?
Do you have a pet lion?
Do you have wild animals roaming your streets?
Oh my god you guys have internet?
I ride a Cheetah to work.
Hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@arnodk2852🤣🤣
Here in Australia we get asked about riding kangaroos to work so I guess there's a pattern here 🙂
@@Kaha-ow1xt🤣
I think the one question that bothers me as an African is when I'm asked if I speak Zimbabwean (I am from Zimbabwe), it's like me asking a person from the States if they speak American, or a person from Brazil if they speak Brazilian. Why not ask what language do I speak instead of assuming my nationality is also my language 😂😂😂
You're completely right! At least, bc nobody knows every language in the 54 countries, Excep North Africa French and SA Afrikaans and English, don't ask me about the other 10, asking if you speak also English and/or French. It's a matter of good manners...
I think most Americans say their language is called American. There lies the problem
Good one. There is so little taught of African history or geography in American schools. Most Americans don't learn about how recent and forced many political borders are, especially in colonized regions like in Africa and in parts of South East Asia.
Incidentally, I just learned that in Luxembourg, they speak LUXEMBOURGISH!!!! I thought that was funny for some reason.
@@ceebee4750 that makes absolute sense♥️
@@ZZMJo Even north african s are either amazigh and arab.
The french is second language for those people
For example in Nigeria, English is the official language of Nigeria, but there over 200 ethnic groups with their languages and there is the "Pidgin English" which is like "Creole" of the Caribbeans. The average Nigerian speaks or understands 2 or 3 languages.
Don't forget that within these ethnic groups and their languages, there are also different dialects. I'm Igbo yet I don't understand some Igbo dialects🤦
We actually have about 521 languages in Nigeria.
What?
I never knew this I just assumed like in South Africa that it was one of the official languages not the official language - I can never understand a single word in Nigerian movies. 😭
The sorry one got me (I'm Canadian)...lol. We had to pass a law that saying sorry in not admissible in court as an admission of guilt. It doesn't mean we are accepting responsibility, it's more empathy or polite.
😅 That's funny. I used to say sorry a lot as a trauma response. It took me a long time to stop saying it.
This is the same in Swahili, if you translate excuse me to Swahili it goes with the same word as “I am sorry” and because of that lots of Swahili speakers especially from Tanzania 🇹🇿 would say “ I am sorry can I pass please, or I am sorry could you please… I am sorry sir you dropped your wallet here
@@TheDemouchetsREACT which one of you guys are saying this?
I do that all the time.
I say "I'm Sorry" to show sympathy, not to accept responsibility. Lots of people respond "You didn't do it."
I suppose many people are unfamiliar with that sort of expression of that phrase, but it is common here in the states if you are in the service industry as well.
Yeah, we say sorry a lot in Canada too. I'm guessing it's a British thing so everywhere that's been colonized by Britain at some point as this "very polite, queueing and saying sorry all the time" habit. Other cultures (like Americans who aren't typically known to be as polite as Canadians) might not see it the same way and not understand that it's just to be polite and think you are actually trying to apologize to them out of guilt. I don't know.
In Kenya, we have 47 tribes and each tribe has their own language. Everyone speaks Swahili since it's one of our national languages and we study in English so we speak in English as well but not as much as Swahili.
Yes, Kiswahili is our National language and English is the official language
Namibia is moving to introducing Swahili in schools here too ...in so excited coz it's such a beautiful language
In ghana same. “ TWI” is spoken everywhere.an immigrant has to learn twi if they want really blend in here.
Sorry guys in SA we dont speak French we are anglophones
I was born and raised in KZN, SA and I speak french. I learnt french in SA schools.
@@nassautaifa423French is not an official language for native South Africans
@@bluebell3720 you got it wrong bro. We don't speak French here like they do in say, the DRC. Of course, you may be speaking French and so are few handful of other South Africans, but it's not spoken to communicate with each other.
Anglophile
@@bluebell3720 a lot of private schools yet but the majority of South African students don't have access to learning French. I went to a really good school in KZN and we learned German but would I now say we speak German in South Africa? No we don't.
I think that the first one probably refers to the fact that some African countries have English as an official language. So it would be like telling a British person or an Australian that they speak good English.
Exactly 😅. You’d think people would know about colonization.
Many African countries have a recent British colonial history, and many are part of the Commonwealth.
When I landed in America I realized that there are different versions of the English language here. I used to get so annoyed by the bad grammar at first, but then I started speaking the same way just so I could be understood😂
🤣 Funniest comment ever! We speak fluent English and AAVE, some Louisiana creole,cajun, and a lil hint or two of French & Spanish = "bad" grammar after the intro is completed.
Exactly especially in the US, Nigeria/Cameroon and South Africa
I got asked this question 2 so many times I one day answered a work colleague of mine in a sarcastic way by saying I swam in the sea from Africa to America and almost believed that imagine!
What I think is most important for African Americans and Americans in general is to learn about the African continent. And the internet is filled with information. Learn and be open to update the information.
Nice couple you two. Respectful to each other and respectful to the videos you react.
From South Africa 🇿🇦
We do have our own slang in South Africa, but no one else would understand us.
The tsotsi taal
The click is not slang, or mannerism. It's a consonant letter that is part of the language the same way B is part of English. A click before a vowel is a syllable. That's why she said it's like asking a French person to say something with R.
That's understood. I shared my experience.
This is is genuine experience, I remember I met an old woman who was consistently questioning how I didn’t know her family friend who is a journalist in Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 while I’m from Africa, she didn’t get it when I told her i am from Tanzania 🇹🇿.
And when she didn’t get it the I told her about my friend who lives in Eugene Oregon, and she was shocked like “how on earth would I know her, I am in Michigan
And this even amused me, but was good explanation
😂😂😂
I'm a new Zealander, I've been asked to say things by certain Americans so they can listen to the accent unfortunately. They've even had a good giggle at the way I pronounce words.
As a Jamaican we get weird questions too like is Jamaica in Africa, do you know Usain Bolt, or Bob Marley that one made me laugh, do you smoke, do you live near the beach,. Another one for some people you do not look Jamaican.
We do understand people curosity or lack of our History.
I'm African and i believed Jamaica was in Africa until I was 10 and my teacher brought out the world map. I don't know why but that fact shook me.
hey big salute to you ,jamaican bro ...
Love from Kenya. Good poetry
I do not know but I feel that Jamaica and Haiti are the most connected islands to the continent.
I relate to them way more blacks from USA which are completely westernized (not a blame at all just a reality check)
It is annoying because you had your own identity but somehow I see it as a compliment with an africanity that stay in you
Lol I been asked if lions roam around the street or do we play with them. For me I found it very funny and start to educate them about South Africa 🇿🇦
With 11 official languages in South Africa, English is the one that we all understand..it's a world standard so we work in english, we watch english shows and we read english books. How else do we communicate with each other? Unless we can all learn to speak 11 languages fluently
Not sure how we missed so many of your comments. Catching up now.
In regards the " You speak good English " I've heard it being said to Canadians, Australians and even the English. It's usually followed by " Did it take you long to learn it "?
Just a disclaimer. I'm also from South Africa and not all of us are annoyed by what annoys them. Most of those things they listed does not annoy most of us, except for the *hi* *please* *thank you*
It's high disrespect from where I come from to speak to anyone without first greeting them. Even to pass a person without acknowledging them is disrespect.
I don't think they said, all of them. They simply speaking from their experiences. I mean they can speak from their experience.
They Are Not speaking for all of us
I don’t know where in America . Because the things they’re saying seems to be false.
@@chocolatequeen2019 oh they are telling the truth!! I was on the East coast and boy the questions?? That would be anywhere in the US and I travelled around the States.
@@bridgetmavuma2002 I’m on the south east coast . And I’ve only meet one African in all of my years here. I never asked him any questions about Africa. He was asking me about America .
I think some people assume most Africans only speak their mother tongue. One of my friends from Ghana (an English speaking country) was put in ESL classes as soon as he came to the US.
Same. It was an easy class but annoying. Especially when my American born classmates couldn't define a noun.
The acknowledgment is for us when you treat us with respect. So greeting is important to us. We great before we speak to people.
THIS!!! In the USVI/BVI their experience will vary greatly if they omit the standard "Good morning, Good day, Good afternoon, Good evening or Good night". Listed in the destination magazines on planes and even the cruise ships remind travellers to always acknowledge locals in greeting before anything else otherwise they may become one of those reviewers complaining about rude locals. We pride our culture over their entitlement to our time and energy whether working in the service industry, relaxing on the beach, or just walking around popular areas.
You're right, respect, you got to give it to get it! Never knew it was standard elsewhere...thx🤗
The many accents of the continent vary. Depending on the colonial influence the accent will vary. East African and Southern Africans have a slightly neutral English accent. So the expectation is an exaggerated West African accent.
Most of the questions I don't think Afrikan Americans ask. A study found that the clearest spoken English is by East Afrikans. We pronounce all syllables.
Same thing with the Indigenous people in Australia. My favourites are - you don’t look Aboriginal or you’re too pretty to be Aboriginal or you speak well for an Aboriginal and so on. In Australia there are more than 250 languages including around 800 dialects but many of the Indigenous people of my generation were not taught it because to speak it meant punishment or death so a lot of it was erased or lost due to invasion and colonialism . We are now teaching ourselves and the next generation by introducing our languages in school. I do not know my traditional language and I am in the process of searching for it. Love from Indigenous Australians. I can’t get enough of you guys. You are my favourite couple 💜
❤️❤️ Thank you for loving us. Much love!
What would you like us to cover about Aboriginals/Australia?
In Kenya when you are called by your middle name especially by your parents or a spouse you know that you gonna get whooped or you are in trouble😂😂😂
Oh lord & dont let it be the FULL name. Thats when you know you did something wrong 🤣🤣
Exactly but when we look at certain things like slippers (flip flops) or even belts we laugh because we remember getting beaten by them😂😂😂
What's yall term for "whopped "
@@queenbbeaute2654 kuchapwa (swahili for whopped)
Considering the fact that North, East and West Africa are comprised of groups of countries that are situated in those regions, it's actually easier for people who are not Africans to assume that South Africa is a grouping of countries situated in the South of Africa.
In Southern Africa, we speak of Northern Africa, Eastern Africa and Western Africa and Cental Africa.
In the Netherlands, if your parents call you adding your middle name, you’re in real big trouble.😂
Same in Nigeria 😂🤣
Also England
Botswana also🤣😂
Same thing on the south side of Chicago. I think that one is universal.
South Africa too
Honestly, I wish Africans and African Americans didn’t have these problems. I genuinely wanna see the both of y’all thrive. God bless all black people
❤️❤️
I am from Mauritius, an island off the eastern coast of Africa. We were once a British colony and English is our official language. So does French. In the USA, I googled it, English is not the official language.
True. The US doesn't have an official language but English is predominant.
As a south african who have worked in South America I did find it alarming, funny and interesting to be asked so many questions haha but yeah we live and we learn man
You'll be surprised, but there are many people (Americans) that think that Swahili is the universal language of Africa. Very few people in South Africa actually speak Swahili. I'm like, "It's a Central East African Language. I'm from South Africa.... SOUTH Africa!!" We speak English as a universal language in SA, I also speak Afrikaans, and shamefully limited Xhosa which is the predominant indigenous language in the Southern part of South Africa.
It's millitary language in my country.only soldier and police types use it.and when they do, you know u in trouble.
Lol. I love your reaction to the hair question🤣!
English is the "lingua franca" language in SA, so most people can speak it.
There are alot of languages in Africa... for example in Cameroon we speak French and English as our official language and we have more than 260 ethnic groups (Tribes) and all these ethnic groups (tribes) have different languages and cultures
What is interesting to me is that it doesn't matter how far these two guys are from the motherland! It doesn't matter if they acknowledge their African heritage or they don't! It doesn't matter what they say or believe either in a negative or a positive way! Just looking at their faces and the rest of their features tells you how deeply Africans they are! It gives one a strange feeling of belonging! It makes me feel connected to them because they could be my sister or brother! They look like I do and I love them for only that. None knows what life has instore for us ! These brothers and sisters were taken forcefully from where they belong but there may come a day when they come back out of their own volition 🙂 .
You can take a man out of Africa but you can't take Africa out of a man" no matter what!
I wish you all the best 🙂❤🤝 a big hug for both of y'all ❤
You made us tear up with this comment. Thank you so much!
Yes true to the word.
In Dubai a Syrian guy once asked me wheather in Africa we have food!!!! And at a time Syria was being bombarded with bombs we all know what happened there.... It sad how the world view africa
Funny but sad
In Nigeria, we have so many languages, so English is the only way we can communicate to ourselves
I think English is the formal official language and broken is the informal official language outside everyone's indigenous language.
Actually, sign language is also recognised, as the 12th official language in South Africa., another thing you were not really that off with the amount of country 's on the continent it is 54...Just as an extra bit of information . Thank you ,you doing a great job. Love, Light Peace and Blessings, from beautiful Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦 🙏
It isn't recognized they are working on making it an official language but it isn't recognized as an official language
@Rati Sekgobela True, so sad it hasn't been approved yet. Like most things it's still on hold.
the whole name thing for me is a struggle and i get we dont come from the same cultural backgrounds, but what im getting is that they dont try. like they said that you need to make an effort to know something coz anyone can do anything.
Not everyone, love.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT only if you you're not will to make an effort...people who travel learn new languages everyday, effort effort effort. No one was born speaking a certain language, we all started from the same point.

I enjoyed this being from SA🇿🇦
An American asked me if South Africa was another continent, I kid you not. 😭😭😭😭🙆🏽♀️
As an English person, I hear more pronounced English in the accent. The education system teaches "proper English", which is nearer the Queens/Kings way of pronouncing the words.
So they speak English better than we do!
There's showing interest in a person and their culture. Some of these questions are quite disrespectful.
The demands from holiday makers is an American trait, be nice, be polite, you get a much better response.
As a Kenyan I speak... kikuyu... Swahili..... English...
I'll allow "which country in South Africa are you from" still. In the context of the continents there are quite a few countries in Southern Africa. I think we just confused the world when we named our country South Africa. I can understand how it is confusing to people who are not well educated in geography.
It's like if Argentina or Chile named their country South America. Technically correct, but confusing.
But when you ask "Where is South Africa" then I'm tapping out. It's literally in the name. You don't more self-explanatory than that
Don't worry, even many people from England can't speak English that well, lol. I like the ladies responses, you have to use humour to slyly make people look uneducated.
I don't have an issue with people asking how long it takes to braid the hair. It's obvious it takes a while, they just want to know how long. I personally think that's harmless curiosity. It's when you have waist length braids on Monday and Thursday a pixie cut, then back to long braids next Tuesday, why is "Linda" asking 'how come your hair grew so fast'?
The clique, I've definitely asked my SA friends to say something and also to teach me how to do it. It's simply fascinating. I think it's amazing.
Actually there are about 70 languages in Nigeria alone. Love this video. New subscriber here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ let’s get to 50 and then 100 to start. Blessings guys. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I totally feel these girls, for some reason most Americans (in my 3 years in America) they get shocked when we are smart, or when we talk proper, dress good. It’s almost like they think there’s nothing better than America!
Right😂😢
My boyfriend is British. He was so fascinated with my hair. He didn’t ask how I get it to look like that but he said it’s not what he’d imagined it would look like. He loves it and thinks its some sort of sponge 😂😂😂😂
I had to explain to him that African hair defies gravity, I could grow it for years but it’ll never go down….to him that’s like a superpower 😂😂😂
I love African hair and beauty. I'm glad you are appreciated and admired by your beau.
It's a super power.
Can anyone defy gravity?
No girl!
I once worked in an adult family home and one of the clients told me he bets I have never seen cookies because im from Africa😂 okaaay
I grew up in the English West Midlands where there are many people of Welsh origin. AS a teenager, a friend of mine was given money by American tourists for being able to pronounce .Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch', which made him very happy. I think he spent the money on beer.
Cool to see everyone learning about each other.
I get that too & I’ve lived in Atlanta & now in New Orleans area!
Because we are taught the Queen's English, part of the colonial past... we are taught RP as opposed to the American version...
Tjoo I can relate to all your 10 comments, I'm in Saudi Arabia, same thing here
what a beautiful couple ...keep doing what you are actually doing...salute from Gabon (central Africa)
I think the confusion comes in with the whole content and country thing is that in America you guys have North America and South America which are continents so when someone says they’re from South Africa, Americans don’t think of it as a country. What a lot of Americans would think of “South Africa” being the southern half of Africa, us in Africa refer to it as Southern Africa. So a lot of Americans don’t know that South Africa is the name of country but assume it’s the Southern part of Africa. Hope that makes a bit of sense lol
they pronounce every letter.. it's beautiful
People are waking up and I love you guys from Africa
Much love!
I read the title and thought "this should be good" CLICK! LOL
I get why it would annoy South Africans where English is a main language. But most of Africa does not speak English. They speak hundreds of tribal languages, in addition to one or several trade languages, like Arabic, Swahili and French. Telling someone from a non-English speaking African country that their English is really good is a compliment. Frankly, Africans in general put most countries to shame with their multilingual skills.
I'm Scots I get asked all the time to say !there's been a murder! it drives me nuts lol
@Allison Convery, oh you're Scottish? Can you say "Purple Burglar Alarm" 😂😂

i dont take thingsseriousy . i help the foreigner and show them grace . i don't expect people to know everything even the common thing . and sometimes the questions even comes out wrong . would want to have the same grace extended to me if I were somewhere foreign . also true what you say about the accents.

Hi what a great reaction... Please react to Top 15 things to do in cape Town (South Africa)
Accents should never be an issue. Ones mother tongue will always impact on any other language you speak. Accents are beautiful 😍
Was working in Dubai and a Pakistan or India man followed me Insisting he want to touch my hair... Told him hell noooo... In kenya we don't do that shit!!!!!
Aussie here. I think the language/accent thing comes from what an American said that they love other accents because theyre a novelty and not heard often. So I think, innocently, they keep asking to hear you to say something in your own accent or language because its new or wierd or interesting or entertaining, it makes the speaker feel like performinng seal. It doesnt bother some people but its really annoying and can come across patronising.
African continent has thousands of languages that come from tribes
There are between 1000-2000 languages in africa.. 75 of them have over 1M speakers and South Africa has 11 official languages ❤😂
The clique part happened to me alot...I was a server in Florida..Everytime I told my table that I'm South African,guaranteed I was going to asked to clique..🤣🤦🏾♂️
What I was taught from an early age was to ask questions to clarify what the other person may be asking. If you get these types of comments or questions, you ask what they mean. then they can rephrase or clarify what they mean, then you answer. Many of them mean no harm, they just want to know.

these questions are irritating actually 😅😅
😂😂i was asked the same 1st question my first time in high school..
Generally, Zimbabweans speak the best English in Africa. During the time of the liberation struggle, Dr Yusuf Dadoo, Chairperson of the South African Communist Party, died in London, General Secretary of the Party, Moses Mabhida spoke at the well=attended funeral. He had quite a strong Zulu accent but used it so beautifully and elegantly, I can still hear him in my head. I suggest that you look up these names on the Internet. Great African revolutionaries.
Her saying "it doesn't get any worse than that" is cap lol
(Referring to the crime argument)
Maybe she's talkin bout her village 😂😂
Lol my thoughts exactly
haha I loved the comment about saying sorry, we experience such a similar thing in Canada too. Sorry here doesn't just mean you are apologizing for something you did.
It's cool to be curious
My goodness, what a good original video choice! I was initially irritated But, it's an opportunity to reflect as Africans.
That's a good perspective about what native English speakers could mean. I never thought about it that way. I think some people would mean it in that way, true. But I also think some people are just shocked that you speak English like in an advanced way. Because for me, I've been told that "your English is so good" via email where they wouldn't be able to hear an accent, but just read my message. So maybe there's also a misconception of not expecting Africans to know English in a fluent way like in a way that flows?
I have had the "how did you get here question" many a times in the USA
In south Africa I think I speak about 10 language but I understand every Language in south Africa and I also understand Shona from Zimbabwe
We speak slang there's also another language in Gauteng Province its called tsotsitaal or setsotsi, its not official but basically is the combination of all 11 official languages and sign language...
It's like ebonics
