If you could wake up tomorrow being fluent in one new language, which would you choose?
I'd choose Korean
definetly arabic
Spanish
Mandarin
Portuguese
The 50% lady is so amazingly humble! Her English was great! She only needs a bit more confidence!
i loved that she presented herself. that was cute^^
Yeah it's perfect she just needs to get some practice for confidence she'll be great
I like how honest they are. They tell you they can talk 1 language. They do not count a language they struggling to talk. I think they can talk and understand english but they do not include it because they struggle to talk english.
Other people will tell you they can talk other languages or a little but they can only do greetings and count to 10 and few sentences and that is not enough to count a language as a language you know.
Mexicans are honest people
I think it depends on people. I would say I speak two fluently, but I include the languages that I can get by if I had to. If I know only a few phrases, that to me is not "knowing" if you know what I mean.
@@fromdepressiontoexpression We shouldn't generalize a whole nacionality
Lmao and the German guy said he knew Portuguese bc he knew some Spanish lol

la doñita que dice que habla 50% de inglés habla mejor inglés que mucha banda que conozco que dice que habla bien inglés :v
Muy humilde la señora. Vivo en Nueva York y te aseguro que ella habla mejor inglés que un 80% de los latinos de su edad que viven aquí más de 40 años.
@@jsphat81 es lo que estaba notando, la mayoria de los entrevistados saben ingles y hasta entendible y todo y los paisanos que tienes decadas en usa no pasan de hi, o yes y en veces ni eso jajajaja que pues
Pues yo pienso que la doñita se equivocó al decir lo último y pienso que solo sabe un 30%
@@sarahilopez64 deberías de poner un negocio de evaluación de nivel de ingles, impresionante!
Porque siempre el mexicano tiene la necesidad de menospreciar el ingles de otros? tú felicitas a l señora pero al mismo tiempo criticas a otros, simplemente no podemos dar un buen comentario y punto?
Estoy en shock de ver la cantidad de extranjeros que cero hablan español pero aún así como mexicanos buscamos la forma de ayudarles. Soy mexicana viviendo en Francia y tuve que aprender el idioma a producto de gallina en 6 meses sino me ignoraban
Me voy más por la actitud francesa, los extranjeros deben aprender el idioma del país y no esperar que los demás se adapten a ellos, una cosa son los turistas pero ya residentes deben adaptarse.
@@ferm.6992 no se trata de que lleguen y en unos meses ya dominen el español, se trata de que tengan la intención y estén haciendo algo al respecto, pero muchos no tienen la intención de aprender español y se conforman con lo que vayan aprendiendo en el
camino, tomar clases y aprenderlo bien no está en sus planes. Si te mudas a vivir a otro pais, aprende su idioma, integrate a su cultura, no importa si te toma más o menos tiempo.
El ingles es un idioma hegemonico, donde quiera que vayas encontraras personas que lo hablan.
Aquí casi todos los turistas que vienen hablan español, y los mexicanos tienen un nivel de inglés muy bajo.
@@jairsantanacastaneda9802 jajajaja al contrario los extranjeros no hablan español y quieren que uno les hable en inglés, son contados los extranjeros que hablan bien español, no digas mmds!!
I'm from Mexico City, and I am fluent in four languages. While most Mexicans take English classes, they often struggle to speak it well due to limited opportunities for practice. However, in border states like Tamaulipas, Tijuana, and Ciudad Juarez, you will encounter a higher number of people who are fluent in English. In contrast, many Europeans effortlessly speak three or four languages because their countries are geographically close, granting them easy access to interactions with individuals who speak different languages.
Igual en la riviera maya, XK allá es más por trabajo
I love how Mexican people are really nice and humble. It’s nice to see the diversity of the country. Definitely a country with amazing people. I think many Mexicans would like to learn more languages, German and French are really popular. Recently other languages are becoming more popular like Japanese and Chinese due to the amount of foreigners from those countries. Personally I would love to learn German and Russian. Have tons of fun in Mexico and welcome to our beautiful country! 🇲🇽 ❤
Man, they're more than racist, I've been to Mexico
@@hurtadoandreiky6446 theres racist people everywere my friend not just mexican people
Cartels...
@@hurtadoandreiky6446 in a country where more than 60% of its population is brown-skinned. MEXICANS who have been racially and xenophobically judged by the USA. nah I doubt it probably and you're just shy. Go to North Carolina USA and you will know what it is to be racially discriminated.
@@hurtadoandreiky6446 MEXICO was literally the first country in the entire American continent to prohibit slavery and receive hundreds of enslaved Africans who were escaping from the USA, even today we give refuge to people from South Africa and Haiti.
Mexico City is so spectacular. Miss it so much. What a lucky guy you are to be there.
Truly a gem.
I stayed there overnight but couldn’t really see much.. please let me know of some good places to visit when I go back!
🥰🥰❤❤
Thank you, but don't come to Mexico, don't encourage gentrification.
@@menmetawim2268 if they can come, tourism is something that helps a lot of people, but they have to be aware of the gentrification that foreigners generate in many areas of Mexico, and thus not be part of it, preferably, just come as tourists.💖🇲🇽
I am mexican I speak 6 languages. I would say a big amount of mexican people can understand English but they are not confident enough on speaking.
I Love your videos
So true. The one guy I spoke to perfectly understood me when I spoke English, but he didn’t list it in his languages. Some people are very humble when answering
yes, i know many friends who are afraid of speaking because of their accent
i used to be afraid of the same reason
casi te pregunto
@@gonzalezdiego7622 I think that's a big reason why people cant practice another language, they're afraid of getting judged by their accent, but having and accent is not bad at all, it just means you speak more than one language!
In Mexico, it is hard to learn other languages than English because we have no neighbors who speak other languages, the closest are Haiti and Canada where both speak French. I would like it to be as in Europe, where there are many countries and languages in a small portion of land.
Haitians do not speak French, they speak Kreyol
That's an excuse bro. 🤣
The reason because people don't learn another language is related on how the government and the education is fucked up. Also the inequality.
@@urbonx tienes razón , España es un buen ejemplo , las distancias no son tan largas como en México y aún asi su población no se caracteriza oro hablar varios idiomas . Otro ejemplo puede ser estados unidos ...
You also have the Island of Guadalupe
Hmmm interesting. Because in England we are so multi cultural, however we only know English 😂
Es raro ver la Ciudad de México a través de los ojos de un amable foráneo. Muy bonito.

Soy de Alemania y me Sie to muy triste, porque mi paisano dice CDMX es una ciudad caótica.
Para mi es toda vez muy impresionante la autoorganización y disciplina de la gente en esta hermosa ciudad.
Many people are shocked when they see Mexico City for the first time. I know it happened to me, but I quickly came to love this great city :)
si es caótica mi hermano, mucho trafico, y pasan cosas que la mayoría ni se entera, soy policía de cdmx se lo que te digo, siempre hay problemas para organizarnos en ciertos eventos sea por el trafico o los cambios que hay por el mismo en el movimiento de los peatones. Eso y tu como extranjero no sabes como son los comportamientos de ciertas zonas populares hay fiesta a cada rato y en las ferias, sonideros, carnavales puede pasar cualquier cosa. Peleas, Balazos etc.
Disciplina?
Es caótica y surrealista lo que la hace tan especial.
Jaja ese Sie del autocorrector
Es increíble la cantidad de personas extranjeras que ya radican en la CDMX, la globalización ha ido incrementando mucho en estos años. Creo que para las personas que comienzan a radicar en el país es muy importante que de verdad empiecen a hablar el español por que siendo realistas, fuera de las zonas de "alto nivel" en donde es en donde normalmente comienzan a radicar como La condesa, Roma, Escandón, etc. no es tan común que se hable español.
Estas muy ATRASADO jajaja mucha gente de esas zonas lo hablan y mas que por gusto es por trabajo como es su venta, desde kinder dan inglés, obviamente no hablan 100% pero entienden y se dan a entender
@@alinecastillo3493 Creo no entendiste mi comentario jaja. Me refiero a que fuera de esas zonas, el inglés ya deja de ser tan común por la misma razón de que ya no hay tanto extranjero. Saludos
@@alinecastillo3493 atrasada estás tu jajaj ¿Qué no ves que los estadounidenses quieren llegar a Mexico esperando que todos hablemos inglés? Ya ni siquiera se molestan por decir “hola” en español jajaja, se vienen a vivir aquí y esperan que nosotros nos adaptemos a ellos y no al revés
dudo mucho que los extranjeros lleguen a Nezahualcóyotl
gentrificacion causado por extranjeros
I am amazed that so many Mexicans have an interest in german. Myself being german, I really like Mexico as well. I hope those people that are interested are able to learn german :)
However, not everyone ends up learning to speak German
@@sarahilopez64 Do you mean some people don't start or they do but fail?
@@noobschrauber4293
They do it but they leave it halfway, they don't finish learning it, the same happens with the Mexicans who live in the USA and never learn English I am Mexican but I make an effort to speak and learn English
@@sarahilopez64 Yes this may be the case with some people but most certainly not with all of them. And i think this is an issue many people have when learning something new. But staying on track gives you so much🙏 i myself learnt italian by myself and english at school. In future am looking forward to improve my italian and also learn spanish and french hopefully :D
@@noobschrauber4293súper bien! Hablas español? O de Que país eres?
Maxican people are quite easy going and friendly. What a great way to get to know the culture.
It´s because he cut the bad part of people, there is many rudeness here
I am from Germany and I can tell we have a huge variety of dialects here like bayerisch, fränkisch, alemannisch, berlinerisch and sächsisch just to name a few
excuse me, and which one would you recommend to learn? and why?
@@megamierdota good question Chico, I think beginners should start with the basic "Hochdeutsch" which every german native should understand (but not everyone speaks it 😂 its like kind of the school german. But If u want to be cool learn bavarian phrases like grias di or Zipfiklatscha. Another famous example is Oachkatzalschwoaf. U See its Sau guad ;)
Belgium as well has dialects.
@@megamierdota almost only old people from vilages speak these dialects just learn "hochdeutsch" and everyone here understands you... vice versa
Personalmente admiro mucho a estas personas que hablan o aprenden lenguas originarias porque merecen ser preservadas ya que se encuentran en muy frágil estado. Desde hace 5 meses me puse a estudiar náhuatl porque tuve familia de mi mamá que lo hablaba. Para mí eso es motivo de orgullo.
@@leolucas1980 no es que sirva de mucho hoy en dia
@@leolucas1980 la gente si sabe nahuatl, pero principalmente en la parte SUR, por Chiapas, Oaxaca. hay 14 millones de pobladores origianles que mantienene la lengua viva. pero obvio la ciudad de mexico esta mas urbanizada.
I loved this. I had a great time in Mexico recently and it was fun to see you interacting with people to get their insight on the use of languages.
As a person who learns German I both happy to see so many people wanting to learn German, and afraid of them. German is beautiful but so hard.
Ich bin total dafür... Deutsch ist kompliziert zu lernen aber auch lustig
I heard about Hebrew is more harder
They're going to learn your language, move to Germany, and take your jobs.
I have spent three years of my life learning danish, i started dutch, when i feel comfortable i will start german, with those foundations hopefully german would be a piece of cake
@@alukuhito thanks for the compliment. 1.we can learn a language 2. travel by plane.3 and we are hard workers. bruh your comment was kinda goofy.
Please don’t forget that Mexico is, in fact, multilingual. We have at least 50 active different native languages. I do understand that interviews tend to be centralized for the purposes of this video but does not reflect a city’s identity. 🖤 And for the public: not only hegemonic languages matter. Thanks.
Well said.
These interviews DO reflect the identity of this city. Not a single Mexican said they spoke any native-American language!
@@trainerred6582 Not really, if anything it reflects the identity of the touristic and more priviliged parts of the city. I'm sure not many tourists visit Chalco, Neza or Ecatepec
and yet,@@trainerred6582 , this is not a formal, peer reviewed study, but a youtube video
@@trainerred6582I ask language not dialect... you will never understand it
Wow, you're in Mexico City again. That's great! Congrats!
Feels great to be back :)
This series is one of the best things you've done . So interesting . Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing 👍
Love your videos! 🫶🏼 but this is special because I’m from Mexico City and I love to see how people is really interested in learning languages. Hope you had a great time here!
Wow, you can easily identify who is mexican and who is not. The attitude is quite different from other nationatilities. They are easy-going, welcoming and seem happy.
But there are not all like that .... like everywhere on the planet
@@jeanbolduc5818 Exactly, for example northern mexicans usually speak direct and clear and are prideful while people from Mexico City and southern Mexico (the ones who most foreigners get to meet) are extremely polite and tend to talk hidding what they wanna really say and are more docile.
@@TheSuperVideoRey1 Veracruz isnt that way, I don't think you have even been to Veracruz. No one out there talks "hidding" what they feel, we get straight to the point of things, we talk fast, we talk clear and we dont care if you get butt hurt
nah, en mexico hay de todo, buenos y malos
@@TheSuperVideoRey1 🙄
I like the sincerity with which they express themselves. I hope one day to visit the city. Greetings traveler!
I'm so glad you try to make this experiment everywhere you go. I was born and raised in Mexico City and I'm glad to see that my fellow "chilangos" (word used to appoint someone from Mexico City) are still well-known for their politeness.
I hope you improve your spanish with all this interviews. Cheers for all of your work et merci encore!
A little thing unnoticed is that a lot of people speak2 languages, spanish being the second, but don't talk about it because of discrimination. My Great grandma spoke Purepecha, but didn't teached my grandma so she didn't get bullied.
That is so sad. The same happened to my grandmother -- her mother never taught her Maya.
That happens wih children, because i never seen adult people being disriminate
@@jonferace3693 That used to happen in Spain under Generalissimo Franco: the police would tell Catalans to "Speak Christian."
Veo que en la CDMX muchas personas tienen un buen nivel de inglés, yo vivo en el Estado de México, muy cerca de la ciudad, pero muchos de mis compañeros de universidad no saben nada más que el español, es impresionante ver la diferencia de conocimiento de idiomas que hay en estos dos lugares a pesar de la cercanía entre ellos
Será la suerte porque yo soy de Ecatepec que tanta burla nos hacen y aquí encuentras mucha gente bilingüe, no se la razón pero yo me defiendo muy bien pero tengo varios amigos que lo hacen mucho mejor
nah estas generalizando. muchos si saben hablar ingles. pero obvio si eres atacado racialmente desde USA. pues es que tampoco te den muchas ganas.
@@robertlion-th9dt Y además ellos pueden aprender español un idioma mucho más hablado
You took some great perspectives! I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks so much!
Hello from Minnesota USA! I love this videos so much! They encourage me to keep on the language learning journey
Welcome to back to Mexico!!! Pleasure to see you for these lands!
Thank you Luis :)
Hey ya'll, as someone formally studying the nature of languages, you don't have to say you speak half of a language because language proficiency is not dependent on lexicology; you speak it, period! AnnaGloria at 2:07 is a great example!
I made it to the end. Great Video! Regards from a fellow Canadian
I love how theres loads of people just sitting around and chilling with friends outside, people my age (19) don’t often do that in London UK, its too cold most the time
Whenever you like, you can visit Mexico and get to know the city so that you can sit down one day, rest, talk, smile or drink a coffee with your friends or new Mexican friends that you may meet ☺️
Same thing happens in thailand and vietnam, very friendly people. Japanese people are like that too, but they need some alcohol running thru their veins.
Hey! I’m from mexico city and I’ve been studying in vancouver for about 1 year and that’s how I met you. I’m not gonna lie, I was excited when I saw you went to my homeland lol
I've seen the episodes from New Yorke, London, Barcelona and Harvard so far but never tought I will hear Romanian in Mexico :D (Me speaking Hungarian, Romanian, English and bit of German). Greetings from Transylvania.

I miss Cuidad de Mexico! I need to get back. All the diversity is really exciting
Very interesting. I see a lot of people in Mexico City wanting to learn German. I guess maybe because of the shared Spanish-German heritage in the country, which has a longstanding history. By just looking at the feasts and music as an example.
Mexicans admire germany a lot, ramstein was very popular there as well.
Northeast of mexico and texas have german heritage, but the language is long gone.

Amazing!
I’m Mexican from Tijuana and I speak Spanish, English and French.
vivo en guadalajara y hay muchisimas personas que hablan ingles por el centro (ultimamente) antes todo era en español y hoy escucho muchisimas conversaciones en ingles
Lo mismo pasa en CDMX, en zonas que hace tiempo eran habitadas por mexicanos, ahora es mas común que viva algún extranjero que un mexicano. El ingles ya forma parte de dichas zonas.
En Monterrey ni se diga, como estamos muy cerca de EUA la mayoria de las personas hablan ingles, unos muy fluidos y otros no pero la mayoria saben al menos algo del ingles. Yo aprendi ingles desde Kinder y ya podria decir que el ingles es un tipo de segundo idioma nativo (Aunque no es y eso no existe) pero asi se siente. En internet la mayoria de la media que consumo es en ingles y desde hace mucho tiempo que tambien pienso en ingles. De hecho aqui se ve mucho como la gente “pochea” y se ponen a hablar “spanglish” el cual es juntar muchas palabras de los dos idiomas
@@nikoandroman el otro dia llegaron unos norteamericanos al restaurante donde trabajo yo, y pues estos no se veian como personas que venian a hablar de negocios lo único que querian era emborracharse y platicar de tonterias y permanecieron ahi por mas de cuatro horas

I am learning french, chinese, english , italian and I speak spanish ,I am mexican girl of Mexico City
Mexico has such beautiful people. 😍😍
I have to say, I’m really impressed by the level of English in this video. The Chilangos got game!
Thanks for video! I knew Mexicans learn French in school but i was much surprised that's many of them would like to learn German 😅
For people from a German, or French speaking country:
Many Mexicans actually have a genuine interest in learning German and French. But is hard to find a language education course with enough quality for learn it and accesible to the public.
With French is a little bit easy because we have the "Alliance Française" and Mexicans can travel to Canada "somehow easy". (Mainly for student exchange) but not everyone have access to that opportunity.
With German is hard, because even if you find a course (That is not always cheap).
Unlike English (Which many people learn mainly because of work or because is the only language accessible to learn it) People like German or French because of the culture, or how it sounds.
Other languages that people might be interested to learn, might be Japanese, Italian, and maybe Portuguese and Chinese. (And recently Korean)
Greetings from Lima what a coincidence found this video!
In Mexico normally people don't learn another language because our neighbors are just USA and French who speak English and French, normally people tries to learn French, in my case I learn German and I try with a little of Russian, I also would like to learn French but normally English is the standard.
I’ve been in Mexico for six months and Mexico City for two of them. I leave Saturday to Ecuador. Bitter sweet. It looks like you filmed this before the constitution day because Zocalo was closed off. But I could be wrong!
I would like to be fluent in Spanish but my other language I would want to be fluent in is German. I used to live in Germany for five years growing up and always thought it was a beautiful language.
Zocalo is often closed by the current fascist president who doesnt want people protesting there.
How ALIVE those people are in comparison with US and Canada, just staggering ...
Great video.
Nowadays, if you went to another planet, aliens would like "yeah, I speak English, French and a little bit of Spanish... and Pfsdjöódlefwwq, my native language, of course"
“Mars, how many languages do you speak?” coming soon!!
I read through the comments and wanted to say that if you go to France and dont speak the language, you may have the impression that people ignore you…or that they dont make any effort to understand you… BUT, as a French (married with a spanish speaker), I can say that most French people dont speak another language and they rapidly feel uncomfortable and even stressed if they can’t understand. They just dont know how to handle the situation !
Dont take it personnaly 🙃
Good video, Dan.🦕🐢
Is interesting how in mexico city the people know a lot of english and foreign lenguages.. but if you go to oaxaca or an small city out of the capital you can find people that knows more than 3 lenguajes sometimes like foreign lenguages and mexican lenguages like Nahuatl, Mixteco and Zapotec..
Mexico city seems beautiful and clean.
Nice video!!👍🐢
i love how everyone in the world speaks english
Welcome to Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️
Do such a video in Zurich in Switzerland and you will be amazed by the average number of languages people would speak there. Same for Luxemburg and Belgium I guess.
i agree. in Luxembourg everyone speaks at least 4 languages fluently.
Easier to say when your country is divided and surrounded by different countries with language diversity... so I would be surprised if they wouldn't😎✌
in flanders and brussels maybe, but in Wallonia lol no. most Walloons are monolingual based on my experience.
I like your videos, a new subs ☺️

Super interesting! You do that here in Chihuahua Mexico and at most you’ll get 2. Spanish and English 😂 it’s cause we’re close to the border so English is big. Great video as always! 👍🏼
I'm not so very cultured with different parts of the world, but not only is Mexico City beautiful but the people are wonderful as well! I love that the video was nice and relaxed, it didn't seem to intrude on people's personal space even though [as far as I know] the people there are very welcoming. Considering you're from Canada, you seemed to fit in [as far as I can tell] to the atmosphere very well. Amazing!!
Me encanta cuando intentas hablar en español
I'm prous about My city and My people, MexState MUST follownthe great example of Mexico City, Ecatepec de Morelos, Neza City, Coacalco, Tultitlán, Tultepec, etc are good cities to speak a lots of languages, like CDMX!!

Bilingual here Dan besides english and spanish, I would like to learn Mandarin Chinese, its a hard language but if the majority of the people on earth speak that, its doable for a Mexican like me...and surprised to note there are no Náhuatl students, in 2011 I heard on the news that the federal school system in CDMX was going to include the teaching of Náhuatl, but I guess we tend to lean towards foreign lands and languages.🐢👍
It would have been really cool to get some indigenous pre-hispanic languages in here. I know that in Southern states of Mexico (like Oaxaca) they are much more common
As a Chinese person currently traveling in Mexico City, I find learning Spanish to be quite challenging. Spanish ( being one of the Romance languages) has unique conjugation and pronunciation of certain syllables, which definitely take some getting used to. But I am determined to learn it. To me, Spanish is so lively and rhythmic, and I really want to converse with the friendly food vendors who indulge me every day with godly delicious tacos.
I came to Mexico for the weather (I go to school in Canada), but I have discovered that Mexico has so much more to offer than just nice weather. The food, art, history, and optimism of Mexicans are priceless, even though there are some social and economic issues that still need to be addressed (all societies have their own share of social malaises).
Mandarin Chinese can be difficult, but some parts of it, like grammar, are actually quite intuitive. The ideographic scripts and tones may come off as a bit challenging, but Chinese people all speak Mandarin with some variation of accent, locally influenced. Even if you eliminate the tone or spell the words in Pinyin when communicating with Chinese, it won't be too much of an issue when you're still learning it. We always admire foreigners who are willing to make an effort to learn Mandarin Chinese. Who knows, maybe it could be fun! Good luck :)
Really cool to see governments making the effort to keep native languages alive, here in Argentina a lot of universities are staring to teach Guaraní, Mapuche and Quechua.
izazaga 89 and viaducto etc. are good places to practice mandarin in cdmx. you will get a better price at izazaga 89 if lucky.
