The ending of Bluey and Jean Luc meeting again as teenagers is so heartwarming, especially when you consider that he went out of his way to learn English to be able to speak to her again.
Even as a young kid, you get the sense that Jean Luc understands some English (e.g. towards the end when Bluey says "see you tomorrow Jean Luc," Jean Luc says "non, pas demain matin," meaning "no, not tomorrow morning"), he just doesn't know English well enough to speak it, but he can pick up on the meaning of what Bluey is saying sometimes. But it's still so heartwarming to think that wanting to be able to communicate back probably pushed him to learn more English.
Jean Luc is Canadian. He may live in the French region, but since his country also speaks English, it is not strange to him. He may have understood some of things Bluey said, especially the most basic stuff.
It's always heartbreaking when Bluey doesn't realise that Jean Luc won't be back the next day, due to being unable to comprehend each other's language. Sadly, not all of our friends will be by our sides, due to circumstances, though as Chili states, he obviously meant a lot to Bluey.
In third grade, I obtained a pen pal in New Zealand. She was my age, and we both love animals, and based on that we formed a written friendship that lasted 10 years. At age 18, we lost touch, though we thought about each other several times a week for 15 years. Then I decided to see if it really is possible to find anyone on the internet. I Google searched her last name and the town I associated with her, found one address (no website or email), and wrote a letter with crossed fingers. A month later, she responded, which matches my memories. On My next letter I included all my contact information, and on New Years Eve, about 10pm my time, she called me. My New Years resolution was that 2005 was the year I was going to New Zealand, so I did meet Diana, 25 years after we met. Unfortunately, she passed away in January of last year, while I was in Vegas to see someone else that I met while visiting her. I'm so glad we had that month to actually know each other!
Omg this unlocked a memory. When a child and on a trip to Mexico, I ran into another kid and neither of us could speak to each other. We resorted to talking gibberish, sharing snacks, and chasing each other on around. It was just fun.
Me and my family also took a trip to Mexico to visit some of my mom’s family, and even though there was a language barrier between them and me, I still had fun!
It speaks volumes that kids can get through the language barrier because they want to play together. There's a lesson for us as adults to be open and want to share experiences with people from other cultures and backgrounds.
As someone who their first language is french and is fluent in english, this episode is so cool to watch! They basically say the same things in different words… and when jean-luc says he is not gonna be there tomorrow….ugh 😭 its cool to see that he went directly to the tree, maybe they both came to it but never at the same time and then one day it happened. So cute
I just binged the first season yesterday and watching this episode made me wonder if they both were coming to campsites at different times too. I’m glad I’m not the only person who thought that.
01:30 I love how Bluey makes the unforeseen circumstances just an addition to their in game storylines instead of it hindering their play session or seeing it as a bad thing 🥰
02:03 I love it so much when they wag their tails!🥺 As an autistic person, I sometimes wish people would have a clear external que like a wagging tail or a purr or something like that ❤
The tails are honestly my favorite part of the show... it allows the animators to express so much more emotion in ways that animation normally struggles to communicate.
Honestly Food was such a great way to connect to different cultures. When I was a chef, I had a girl I had a crush on who was Croatian and a friend of hers spoke English and I remember her looking at cookies at work and she mentioned something and I asked her friend what she was talking about and she mentioned Trogirski Rafioli so I looked the traditional way to make them, not just cause I liked her, but because it allowed me to expand my baking/cooking knowledge and make people who feel homesick a taste of home. It became a staple for people in general I met from other cultures that I would try to branch out that way. Id also learn as much as I could in their language as well.
The most frustrating thing to me about the amount of people in the United States who say “you’re in America, speak English…” first of all, contrary to popular belief, the United States does not have an official language. Second, I went to Poland a few years ago, and while I didn’t meet a ton of people, I interacted with a number of people who were bilingual, not trilingual. And not once was I told to speak Polish, even when I came across one person who did not speak English.
There is an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" where Captain Picard is stuck on a planet and befriends an alien, also trapped, and they are so close they almost die together, by choice, at the end.
@@QueenCloveroftheice , no. That episode involves a satellite from a planet that died before. It's the one where he learns the piccolo. That is my favorite episode!
Isn't there also an episode where that happens to Riker as well, except it's a Romulan (who are at a state of Cold War with the Federation at that point)?
The most amazing thing about the animators on this show is that even though I don't speak a word of French (okay, I can understand a few words, but I don't think I'd run out of fingers counting how many), I still knew, just from Jean Luc's facial expression, exactly what it is that he said. They were able to fit more human emotion on a dog's face than most animators can get on a human face. Also, I always loved the bit "I know it's your book Muffin, I'm just borrowing it", the more things change, the more they stay the same.
I spent 5 summers in Poland and the first time I was there, I knew almost no Polish. Being separated by a language barrier can be intensely lonely and isolating, but it is possible to find ways to connect. Listening to music together, playing sports, dancing, and discovering that you grew up reading the same books and watching the same movies (Harry Potter for example) are great ways to overcome that barrier and make friends. I am grateful that I had that opportunity and would encourage anyone to go visit a country where you don’t speak the language. You learn so much about humanity that way
I'm so glad you therapized this episode. As an Anglo Quebecer this episode hits home. I'm pretty sure this was the first full episode I saw and what made me fully fall in love with Bluey. Fun fact, Jean-Luc is actually supposed to be French Canadian. I'm writing a series set in Quebec with both English and French characters and interlingual friendship at the heart of it. I think it's so important to show that side of Quebec when all we often hear about is how much we hate each other. Having lived here for nearly two decades now, that thankfully wasn't/isn't the bulk of my experience, and I wanna share some of the comradery I've experienced.
@@forestgrump4723 Aw thank you. It’s a Toy Story esque coming of age story from the POV of fashion dolls from Quebec. One is from a Bratz-esque line and one from a Barbie-esque one. The Bratz esque one is an Anglophone and the Barbie like one is Francophone. They end up becoming friends and their stories focus more on their respective identities as dolls and finding their place in the real world as dolls than the languages they speak. If that still sounds like something you’d be interested in, let me know and I’ll keep you updated.
@@marcellacassab4331 I think using a porcelain doll instead of a bratzesque one would lean more heavily into the differences because bratz aren’t really that different from Barbie’s but porcelain dolls would have many different experiences that a Barbie doesn’t have and vice versa. But it definitely still sounds interesting!
I have always thought of the Canadian French/English antagonistic relationship like sibling rivalry. You can gripe with the other, but if someone outside makes a comment the claws come out. Even in this video the hackles went up when I heard Jean-Luc was from France, how very dare he!?! I don't trust my French skills, but end up watching the French political debates during elections because i think the skill is vital for a leader of our country (I am always surprised at how much I understand)
When I was in elementary, I had this one friend at school who was from another country neither of us could understand each other but truthfully neither of us talked much anyway. But I remember he would point to my seek and find book and we would lay on the ground after our class work or tests and find pictures together. It was so simple but I loved that time together.
I absolutely adore this episode of Bluey. As someone who traveled ti a foreign country and fell in love with someone who speaks a different language, it really spoke to me. Yes, you truly do find amazing ways to get around language barriers. We would video chat so we could see face expressions, and gestures etc. We would also write at the same time so we could put things through google translate (and did this in person too), sometimes with hilarious outcomes when it didn’t translate correctly 😅. I also agree about the planting of the seed. It’s part of why i think Jean-Luc is the one Bluey ends up with in the end, as the tree growing is a symbolism of their relationship growing.
I was out for a walk with a friend through a new subdivision, it was a hot day and my water bottle was empty. I walked up to an older man sitting in a chair in an open garage and asked for water. He waved his hand down sharply, what I've come to know as "I don't understand you." I held up my bottle, showed it was empty, mimed taking a drink and held it out to him. He called out to the house and his grown son appeared at the door, he passed on my message and the son took and filled my water bottle. We couldn't speak, but we communicated.
This episode makes me think of my “dog show bestie” back when my family would go to a bazillion dog shows every year. One of the vendors’ daughter and I would meet up and have our own adventures.
I have a vivid memory of being in Germany when I was about Bluey’s age. We went to a pool and there was a German girl my age who didn’t speak any English. We still played with each other all day
I think it’s interesting that you focused on the multicultural aspect. For me, the reason I break down sobbing every time I see this episode is the part about how not everyone who is important to us will be with us forever.
Our world is a beautiful garden. Every country and region is a wonderful plant, tree, flower, or bush. Some are the song birds and some are the pollinating insects (like butterflies or ants or fireflies). Everything is amazing and special and incredible in it's own way. We should celebrate that more.
There are so many great Bluey episodes that it’s hard to recommend which to watch. But, a really good one is The Show. It has a great lesson for kids. It’s ok to be upset when something goes wrong and you’re allowed to feel that emotion, and then you keep going. Also, the previous episode you did with the ice cream reminded me of two others that have similar messages. Hammerbarn is one of my favorites and focuses on a similar message of being happy with what you have. And the other is Ragdoll, which teaches kids that you enjoy something more, like ice cream, when it’s not just handed to you and you work for it. So many great options, but I thought of those in particular.
As someone who has not traveled (low income family), how I learn to accept and learn about another's culture is to ask questions. Honest, open, genuine curiosity is one thing that children have that we as adults lack. Asking these questions with kindness, without judgment, and without stigma is an amazing way to learn about not just a culture, but the personal culture of that person's family. Their traditions. Favourite hidden gems in their homeland. We can learn so much from the people around us.
This was the first episode I saw of the show as a Australian born here and I cried if only because it reminded me of a brief childhood swimming friend I had during the school holidays when I was 6 at a water park every week we we would catch up and play games they didn't speak English or French and I didn't understand Italian but we smiled and got into so many games and I still remember her we knew each others names at least ❤ and once it was over after a month we never saw each other again not even the following year in the school break but that is one of the happiest memories and sad ones of my childhood that was a connection in the mid 90s
This episode definitely made me cry. It caught me off guard by how incredibly wholesome and real it is with the leason that friendships can transcend languages, and then Bluey has to learn that sometimes even the closest people in our lives have to leave us ): Chili's whole line about "Sometimes special people come into our lives, stay for a bit, and then they have to go " hit me so hard because of how true and mature it is. This episode understands its lesson perfectly, it gets you attached to the sweet relationship between Bluey and Jean Luc, and how they both have fun together even if they dont speak the same language, and then they show us the sad reality that they cant stay together... And then it hits us in the gut AGAIN by giving us our first time skip of the series to show that Bluey and Jean Luc meet each other again, and Jean Luc learned English just so he could talk to Bluey 😭
I watched Parasite for the first time with my partner and a group of his intellectual, theater-loving friends, which was a great experience. The second time we watched it was with his ex-wife, son, daughter, and Korean son-in-law, which was a great experience in a different way because Howard could give us some cultural insight that Charles & Friends didn’t have. I think we watched Train to Busan with Charles & Friends too (probably a different group, I don't remember), though we never saw that with Howard & Family. Still, I love having such a diverse, intelligent network!
As a dad of two in a multicultural family, I truly feel seen and understood by the creators of Bluey. This episode is incredibly wholesome, creative, and moving. It beautifully illustrates the importance of being open and accepting of others. As parents, we have the power to nurture these values in our children.
I grew up with kids that where from different countries, and i remember that when i first started school (a french one) many of my companions didnt spoke spanish, but we kind of learned each other's languages and it was so cool speaking maybe three languages at the same time in a big group and everyone understanding (or at least trying 😂)
As person learning French. I understand everything that Jean-Luc is saying and what bandit says in the episode Pavlova. And yes I’m from the United States and Most of my family are bilingual. Just learning French it’s hard but the culture, language and the music are very beautiful.
You are such a cultured person, I love that about you ❤ And I love your videos, aside from giving me insight into our relationships, they have also become my comfort. Thank you Edit: sorry for any mistakes, not my native language
this episode reminded me of when i moved to peru. i had a friend who was learning english and so she taught me spanish and i taught her english. we even communicated by drawing pictures, pointing at things, or playing charades. we both learned a lot from these games. its weird how much of jean luc i understood just by learning spanish since french and spanish are similar. recently i had to do a paper for my college and it involved visiting an incan pyramid
I work with someone who doesn't speak English very well. She's super sweet, and we either mime what we mean or try and simplify it if we can. One time, I drew a picture. We're always super patient with each other and do our best to work together as best we can.
Have a favorite movie that you physically own? Turn on captioning in a foreign language, sometimes they'll even have an audio track. I myself bought a service where I have access to languages, and prior to visiting a place I practice at least some of it. Have some documentation in foreign language try reading that after learning some of the basics, and the amount of free books on languages including children's stories/fairy tales is out there.. I do adore this episode as well as someone mentioned thet ST: TNG is another good one. I also the following words to know. Food, Drink, Water, Bathroom, Shelter, and Directions.
As a Canadian, I lived in the Florida panhandle and lower Alabama for about 2 years. There were times that I got made fun of for my accent. I did love the Southern states, though. I still do.
I find that little kids are supper a accepting of things like language barriers, but not so much physical or big social differences by about age 4 or so. Daniel Tiger had a really good episode when they meet Prince Wednesday's cousin who has a physical disability and Daniel is nervous about it. They do a really good job modeling how adults can handle thst situation.
Not me crying at work watching this episode 😢 this was every summer and every holiday growing up and so many friends I made but never saw again. I’m glad they met again later.
I am a big fan of Rick Steve and his "Europe through the Back Door". One of the things he says is don't be afraid to look foolish. For instance, acting out what you need or want, like in a restaurant and you would like chicken and you don't know the word for it where you are, clucking like a chicken. Also, when traveling, to go where the locals go, get away from the tourist areas.
As someone who is chronically online and had an entire world open to me by the internet, my friends are spread across the globe. We can share so many awesome things from our cultures, and then I can come back and share it with my family and friends in meat space.
For me breaking into a new culture has always been through food. To quote one of my favorite anime "Eating is a privilege of the living." We all do it and every culture and person has preferences and styles in how they make their food. I think you can start so many wholesome and wonderful conversations by asking "What's your favorite food?" Or "What is a comfort meal to you?" We all have to eat and if you go in with an open mind you can create a wonderful dialogue.
Food has always been a big part of learning about other cultures for me and my husband. Whenever he meets someone new one of his icebreaker questions is what is the food your home is best known for? Everyone eats, and everyone has a local dish they can talk about.
If you can take some time off, work at a volunteer project in another country (a lot of time are fine with you speaking english). There are animal sanctuaries, building schools, building wells, planting forests, and lots of other stuff. I did on in Namibia (3 weeks) and one in ecuador (4 weeks) and I never learned so much about myself, life, and other cultures.
I Remember when our family went to a vacation in Bulgaria, I made a local friend who introduced me to GTA Vice City and banitsa (so good). It saddens me still that I don't remember his name :(
A spanish family moved into our small community. My girls (2 & 3) became fast friends with the girl the same age as them. They play dolls and house together, even though they don't speak the same language. They are a super fun family. We do use a translation app to talk to each other, but enjoy each other company. ❤
I am fortunate to know and meet people from different cultures. I sponsor a child and exchange letters to her to Rwanda, Africa, my eldest sister is in a relationship with a man from Nigeria Africa, my close friend and her family is from Chile, South America, and a nice woman who works in a hotel close to my house is German. I love learning about different cultures and travelling. I hope to have enough confidence to learn as many languages as I can.
Even before watching your video, I definitely know that kids are best at bonding and comunicating in play over language barriers. I'm half Luxembourgish half German and have allways lived right on the border of the two countries. Especially in Luxembourg high diversity is the norm. We have 3 official languages (Luxembourgish, German, French) and a huge portugese community. It's almost impossible to go to a playground or have some even at a restaurant without meeting kids who speak different languages. I personally find it allways very wholesome to see how that does not stop them in any way to have fun together. I as a kid had the same experience before I learned French and English. With time english speaking population has grown too. Even generally. "what's your name, how old are you, let's play". Almost as if the kids were better at reading body-language and non-verbal communication than adults. Maybe being so used to verbal comunication, we lose touch with the other ones... just thinking. But I guess I'll stop that for now and watch the video.
I love love love to travel. I grew up having lots of exchange students coming over to stay with us. My parents were even often able to arrange for them to shadow us at school even if it was only for a few days. I remember I even passed my French exchange student to my boyfriend so she could attend one of his classes (possibly french) and had a mutual friend escort her back to my next class. We had so much fun and I even got to go to France to visit her in Paris. We had our very first exchange student meet up with us there too. She visited a few times to the states even after her stay with us. She was from Luxembourg.
BLUEY EPISODE! LETS GOOOOOOOOO! Also I have been watching a lot of foreign films lately. Its not the same as a book but... yeah. If anyone is interested, I highly recommend The Tiger: A Hunters Tale. It's a South Korean film, and it's currently available on Tubi (subbed).
This reminds me of my dad and one my asian neighbour. Both can't speak dutch (i live in the netherlands) but the culture they grew up in is simealer enough that the language barrier is barely there
I don't know much Italian. At best I knew enough to book a hotel room, take a train, & order food, plus a few courtesy words & saying I'm Scottish. I went to a party in Italy once, & had a great time. Those who spoke English I could chat with, but even among those who couldn't speak it any better than I could speak Italian connected with me over the music, or in one case, the plushie backpacks!!! All in all it was a great time!!! Plus there are so many ideas you can only express in a different language. Learning languages expands your mind AND your friend group!!!
I've been living in Japan for six years (starting my seventh on August 3rd). This really warmed my heart. Thanks for sharing! My suggestion is if we feel ourselves get angry about something in the culture, remember history shaped it. Our cultures all have different histories, which affects the lenses in which we interact with the world. It doesn't mean we should learn to like it or lessen any of our core values, but we learn more appropriate ways of dealing with difficult issues within cultural norms. If we learn how that topic became part of the culture, we can learn how to understand the fear or mentality behind it and still bridge culture gaps. (I can't believe Aug 6th and 9th are the 79th anniversaries of the atomic bombs. Post WWII really affected Japan in ways most people don't think about.)
13:02 I'm a European who was born in Hungary, moved to Spain when I was a child and then half year later moved to Italy, lived there for 10 years and then moved to Sweden where I've been living for 5 years so far. I met many people, lot of people with lot of different opinions, views and stories about the world. I was discriminated against a lot by some people, but others have been very curious and been wanting to learn more. I met with people in Rome who have never seen the Colosseum and I met with people who walked all the way from Syria to Sweden by foot (not saying that one person is better than other though, it's just two very specific examples!). With time I also learnt to become more curious, to get braver to ask questions (cause I'm an introvert) and I hear so many stories all the time. My advise is simple: be open minded, learn to listen, learn to see the world from other perspectives (even if you don't always agree with those views, you can still just listen for the sake of hearing other perspectives) and finally, never judge a book by its cover! You won't know someone's story until you ask it!
Another good piece of advice is to experience the authentic cuisine of another culture food is a universal need but can te) you alot about culture and history
People from the united states may be comfortable just knowing how to speak english, But people from Latin America like me who speak Spanish are FORCED to learn English if we want to aspire to better jobs or simply function better on the internet, But no one forces a gringo to learn Spanish, and it seems that some do not like it when you speak Spanish within their country.
This may be a bit of a long story, but bear with me. My parents are from Argentina and had to escape to Mexico during the military coup of 1976. My older sister and brother were born there. My other brother and I were born in Mexico. For our generation of children of exiles, our culture is closely linked to resilience, to survival. I, perhaps, would not be alive if it were not for exile. Mexico has always been generous, it sheltered many Argentines, Chileans, Uruguayans, Brazilians, and many more, during those dark years. And it was also there that my parents found another family, that of the friendly homeland, the one that sheltered them. Mario Benedetti, Uruguayan poet, wrote a beautiful poem titled The House and the Brick, and in a fragment he says: "[...] I have seen my brothers in my substitute homelands postpone their joy when ours dies, and that is an unforgettable tribute. That's why when I come back, and someday I will, to my lands, my people and my sky, I hope that the brick that I brought at pure risk to show the world what my house was like, last like my hard devotions to my fellow substitute countries, live like a piece of my life, remains like a brick in another house." We are always on the move. We are a bunch of beings spinning around on a gigantic sphere. It is inevitable to meet at some point. The important thing is to honor in others what makes them unique and particular, to put aside a little of what is common to us, and to try to understand what it is to experience life from another position. Encounters should feel like an invitation, an opportunity to better understand our own nature, and what gives meaning to life. The beautiful fact of finding and recognizing each other. Transition through differences and celebrate them when they make us grow and be better people.
Few things one I’m a adult with no kids and I watch Bluey and I’m an American adult who watches very with no kids and do I haven’t told outside the US too many times I’ve traveled a lot hot but not many times outside the US and most attention it was it was a Calendar where they also speak English but I have been to Mexico more specifically Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and I did learn some basic and I mean very basic Spanish no I was only 16 at the time so I lost most of it. I will get a little bit of that finish my dad refresh my memory. He’s the one who taught me the first time we went to Mexico. He really taught me that basic Spanish for a trip to mesa go so May 2023 for my birthday trip down to the Dominican republic, I always have tried windows places do use as much of my Spanish as I have I have been to Bermuda but I forget what language is spoken. I don’t want him there for like a day and a half is really just the one port of call on a seven day cruise so I can’t really remember and that one was 10 years ago this past May is a trip for my 21st birthday. Other than that I haven’t really cold outside the US says not to places where I would need to know a foreign language, I have tried to learn other languages unsuccessfully I think it’s partly due to the nonverbal learning disabilities may be partly due to very late in life diagnosis of dyslexia OK not Bailey but post high school diagnosis of dyslexia, and all my other learning disabilities that may have contributed to meet you just giving up each time of try to learn your language but I do want to talk to so many other places in the world other countries where they speak other languages I want at least one basic words in those respective line coaches, so I could at least have a baseline of communication in whatever the native language is, but I just wanna see as much of the world as I can before I lose my eyesight to see it I do have some slight left I’m losing it slowly and I wanna see as much of this world as a Kendall. I still have some amount of vision to see it with and then includes other cultures of the countries with different languages and cultures because I always have had an interest for multiple other countries in their cultures, including the language and not just written language, but the spoken languages to porn I’ve always had a high appreciation for Japanese culture and language. I have tried to learn it back before my eyes closed as they did I used to watch anime, which is their home of cartoons. I used to do it with spoken in Japanese, but they had the subtitles in English and even then I had to sit rep on the TV to see the subtitles. They used to be able to do it with my eyes were not as bad and as for me, I want to just I always want to know Mandarin I’ve tried I guess I could always go to my cousins wife, who is from China and who grew up speaking Mandarin it’s her native language I’m sure she’d be willing to teach me close go to that cousin himself to he has learned Mandarin as well because they are raising the door to speak both English and Mandarin at the same time. What do you start speaking? They want to teach her both English and Mandarin side-by-side notes. She’s only two, but that was the goal. That is the goal and I will learn from one of them than my own brother, because complicated relationship and I had one or even tried to teach me, even though he majored in it and well if my cousins wife can learn English, especially American English, which is one of the hardest languages to learn supposedly specially when you have a whole different writing system, level speaking system then I have no doubt that I will put my mind where I could learn Mandarin or any other languages long they really put my heart into it. I think I just haven’t found the right way to learn it yet. I think it’s because most people learned to like they usually have it twice in one specific way for all languages and I just don’t learn like typical person. I think that’s why I struggle to learn any other floor language that I have tried to learn and I’ve tried. I’ve tried learn Japanese I’ve tried learning French. I’ve tried to learn Spanish I just don’t think I in the fourth I’ve tried to wear the white format for me, but I do really want to one really is one other language in his lifetime in visit as many other countries as possible within this lifetime as well so I do try emphasis on the try try to be cultured. It’s also not easy when you can’t tell that much due to low finances, but man if I ever was in position where I was able to get out of Social Security, I don’t know that no multi disabled autism lol dolls, that they sense be connected with autism going blind or joint pain mobility issues, all that hence, not able to work has qualify for Social Security if I was ever in position, record get off that and get out of my low income, elderly disabled apartment, and they still have enough to truly travel I’ve been traveling so much to so many different countries starting with the ones on my bucket list. but I agree they’re just eating at at least here in the US would be considered a Americanized version of certain cultural food food like Americanized, Italian, a.k.a., Olive Garden, Americanized, Chinese, or Japanese like the Asian buffets, in panda express and places like that so basically eating at the rate in the US is considered the Americanized version of those kind of cultures foods does not cut it because it’s been released into years. It’s been Americanized it’s been changed to fit what is considered the American or US palette so it’s not the same it’s not authentic event for you like with Chinese would even if you go into our Chinatown is still been Americanized maybe not to the same level as like your nearest shopping malls version but it’s still not 100% authentic although if it’s more than taking like those town, the little sections rear that culture it connects like in big cities so for me, it would be the closest I could get to have a real Chinese food out will be to make my way up to Boston to Chinatown in Boston even from Massachusetts but that’s the closest because it’s only one state. Oh wait for me I don’t have to go in to the next state north, so it’s the closest to me that’s like the closest I could ever be used to having a real Chinese food here America short of asking my cousin’s wife to make me some actual traditional Chinese dish that she grew up eating it. That’s basically all I have for choices for chance at authentic Chinese food and even then even if my cousins were forward to make me on authentic trying to sister she go up with them sure that she might had to change some ingredients because I don’t know if all the ingredients that would be needed that they would have a trade-off necessarily available here in the US at least in the southern New England part of the US all that most people they have the nearest Chinatown for semi-authentic Chinese food but that’s about it. Some places might have a little Italy pause the timer I guess that would be the closest for that but I don’t is it’s not easy to get authentic food from other countries out in your local community at least not here in the US you’re really going to hunt for places or know someone whose family is from that background and has traditional recipes passed down through the generations or before too enough to have enough money to go to one of those actual countries, but yeah agreed the rest is not count and cowboy is a good one for those who can afford it, though as for reading my mind is a shot and becoming more shot for that’s out for me but for those that can do it even if you get a movie or a show or whatever and play in the native tongue, but have the subtitles be to whether your native languages have the show movie or whatever playing in its native language in the subtitles to your native language, they able to read subtitles and if not, hopefully they have a version of that show that is dubbed into your respective language which is the only way I’m able to watch anime, which is Japanese cartoons but well that’s a extremely cold down explanation of it but I can’t see much anymore so it’s harder but yet gender cultures have a can restaurants in your big chain restaurants do not count though and as for Bluey who says that you have to be a child or an adult with children to watch it. I mean I’m an adult in my life to say I’m between my mid-20s and early 30s with no children and I still watch it it’s good for all ages and I’ll speak connect with like all my nieces and nephews, but more much younger second cousins as in the children of first cousins, at least the young ones given the oldest as a teen, but helps me connect with them. I know between three cousins this five kids of the next generation age in between 13 years and. A little over three months, including two separate two year olds
Hi, i love learning languages. I'm from Germany and i speak english, french, italian and a bit swedish. I really want to learn spanish on day and improve my swedish.
As an anthropology major one of the first things we are taught is the importance of holistic thinking vs ethnocentrism…it’s kind of the idea of going into conversations with people of other cultures open mindedly and not assuming that the way your culture does things is correct a great example is shown in the show sense8 when talking Riley asks why a character in the slums would want an amazing hd tv and spend his money that way when other in her eyes basic others needs werent being met let’s say a toilet or AC…and his response is because those things keep your mind here but the TV let’s your mind be anywhere you want it to be
I counted 12 skips, so the reunion is when Bluey is 18. I want to see La Vita è Bella, the classic 1943 comedy about a man who wants to commit suicide but is stopped by a doctor who offers him a week of everything he can dream of, then he tests a new medicine that has a 50% chance of killing him. It's a fabulous concept. I'd like to see what they did with it. The episode, Perfect, deals with healthcare. Also the perfect Father's Day card.
7:00 I'm unfortunately not fluent in Spanish, but I love Spanish music. There are a few I listen to that I may not understand 100% (aside from knowing a few words and, very slowly, relearning somewhat), but it doesn't change my enjoyment. That's why I prefer to listen to Dos Oruguitas in Spanish rather than English (nothing against the singer). It just felt more powerful. Same with Japanese or Chinese songs.
"If you don't live in the US, you're probably bilingual". 😅 Yup, I know 3 languages by heart. But I guess it's sometimes hard for English speaking people to learn a different language, because a lot of foreign people just speak English to you, like I do.
The ending of Bluey and Jean Luc meeting again as teenagers is so heartwarming, especially when you consider that he went out of his way to learn English to be able to speak to her again.
I was screaming at the TV as he was yelling over the scene in excitement for the tree. "No! Jean Luc learned English!"
Even as a young kid, you get the sense that Jean Luc understands some English (e.g. towards the end when Bluey says "see you tomorrow Jean Luc," Jean Luc says "non, pas demain matin," meaning "no, not tomorrow morning"), he just doesn't know English well enough to speak it, but he can pick up on the meaning of what Bluey is saying sometimes. But it's still so heartwarming to think that wanting to be able to communicate back probably pushed him to learn more English.
Jean Luc is Canadian. He may live in the French region, but since his country also speaks English, it is not strange to him. He may have understood some of things Bluey said, especially the most basic stuff.
When i first saw rhis episode i genuinely teared up it was the most precious thing 😭
wait wait wait wait BLUEY IS A GIRL!?
It's always heartbreaking when Bluey doesn't realise that Jean Luc won't be back the next day, due to being unable to comprehend each other's language. Sadly, not all of our friends will be by our sides, due to circumstances, though as Chili states, he obviously meant a lot to Bluey.
In third grade, I obtained a pen pal in New Zealand. She was my age, and we both love animals, and based on that we formed a written friendship that lasted 10 years. At age 18, we lost touch, though we thought about each other several times a week for 15 years. Then I decided to see if it really is possible to find anyone on the internet. I Google searched her last name and the town I associated with her, found one address (no website or email), and wrote a letter with crossed fingers. A month later, she responded, which matches my memories. On My next letter I included all my contact information, and on New Years Eve, about 10pm my time, she called me. My New Years resolution was that 2005 was the year I was going to New Zealand, so I did meet Diana, 25 years after we met. Unfortunately, she passed away in January of last year, while I was in Vegas to see someone else that I met while visiting her. I'm so glad we had that month to actually know each other!
This reminds me of Gloria from Modern Family. "DO YOU KNOW HOW SMART I AM IN SPANISH?!" That line is a game changer!
Apparently Jean-Luc is French Canadian! Also apparently if you put on the French dub, Jean-luc’s dialogue is in English instead.
Oh yes, I've listened to that version myself. And Jean Luc is now Johnny, who speaks English to Bluey's French.
We've done that before. It's so cool!
The clue is the bottle of Canadian maple syrup on their breakfast table.
@@dukeskunkI think his dad is wearing lumberjack clothing too, very Canadian
We Canadians do not trust the quality of foreign syrups. When you are used to the best, you don’t mess around. LOL
Omg this unlocked a memory. When a child and on a trip to Mexico, I ran into another kid and neither of us could speak to each other. We resorted to talking gibberish, sharing snacks, and chasing each other on around. It was just fun.
Me and my family also took a trip to Mexico to visit some of my mom’s family, and even though there was a language barrier between them and me, I still had fun!
It speaks volumes that kids can get through the language barrier because they want to play together. There's a lesson for us as adults to be open and want to share experiences with people from other cultures and backgrounds.
As someone who their first language is french and is fluent in english, this episode is so cool to watch! They basically say the same things in different words… and when jean-luc says he is not gonna be there tomorrow….ugh 😭 its cool to see that he went directly to the tree, maybe they both came to it but never at the same time and then one day it happened. So cute
I just binged the first season yesterday and watching this episode made me wonder if they both were coming to campsites at different times too. I’m glad I’m not the only person who thought that.
01:30 I love how Bluey makes the unforeseen circumstances just an addition to their in game storylines instead of it hindering their play session or seeing it as a bad thing 🥰
02:03 I love it so much when they wag their tails!🥺 As an autistic person, I sometimes wish people would have a clear external que like a wagging tail or a purr or something like that ❤
The tails are honestly my favorite part of the show... it allows the animators to express so much more emotion in ways that animation normally struggles to communicate.
Ahah same 😭
Honestly Food was such a great way to connect to different cultures. When I was a chef, I had a girl I had a crush on who was Croatian and a friend of hers spoke English and I remember her looking at cookies at work and she mentioned something and I asked her friend what she was talking about and she mentioned Trogirski Rafioli so I looked the traditional way to make them, not just cause I liked her, but because it allowed me to expand my baking/cooking knowledge and make people who feel homesick a taste of home. It became a staple for people in general I met from other cultures that I would try to branch out that way. Id also learn as much as I could in their language as well.
That's so beautiful. 🥰
The most frustrating thing to me about the amount of people in the United States who say “you’re in America, speak English…” first of all, contrary to popular belief, the United States does not have an official language. Second, I went to Poland a few years ago, and while I didn’t meet a ton of people, I interacted with a number of people who were bilingual, not trilingual. And not once was I told to speak Polish, even when I came across one person who did not speak English.
There is an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" where Captain Picard is stuck on a planet and befriends an alien, also trapped, and they are so close they almost die together, by choice, at the end.
Is that the one where he gets married and has a child with the lady?
@@QueenCloveroftheice , no. That episode involves a satellite from a planet that died before. It's the one where he learns the piccolo. That is my favorite episode!
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra! Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel
Isn't there also an episode where that happens to Riker as well, except it's a Romulan (who are at a state of Cold War with the Federation at that point)?
@@haigis04 Shaka, when the walls fell
The most amazing thing about the animators on this show is that even though I don't speak a word of French (okay, I can understand a few words, but I don't think I'd run out of fingers counting how many), I still knew, just from Jean Luc's facial expression, exactly what it is that he said. They were able to fit more human emotion on a dog's face than most animators can get on a human face.
Also, I always loved the bit "I know it's your book Muffin, I'm just borrowing it", the more things change, the more they stay the same.
I spent 5 summers in Poland and the first time I was there, I knew almost no Polish. Being separated by a language barrier can be intensely lonely and isolating, but it is possible to find ways to connect. Listening to music together, playing sports, dancing, and discovering that you grew up reading the same books and watching the same movies (Harry Potter for example) are great ways to overcome that barrier and make friends. I am grateful that I had that opportunity and would encourage anyone to go visit a country where you don’t speak the language. You learn so much about humanity that way
0:19 French Canada actually.
This is one of my favorite Bluey episodes ever
I'm so glad you therapized this episode. As an Anglo Quebecer this episode hits home. I'm pretty sure this was the first full episode I saw and what made me fully fall in love with Bluey. Fun fact, Jean-Luc is actually supposed to be French Canadian. I'm writing a series set in Quebec with both English and French characters and interlingual friendship at the heart of it. I think it's so important to show that side of Quebec when all we often hear about is how much we hate each other. Having lived here for nearly two decades now, that thankfully wasn't/isn't the bulk of my experience, and I wanna share some of the comradery I've experienced.
That sounds like a beautiful story I’d like to read it sometime!
@@forestgrump4723 Aw thank you. It’s a Toy Story esque coming of age story from the POV of fashion dolls from Quebec. One is from a Bratz-esque line and one from a Barbie-esque one. The Bratz esque one is an Anglophone and the Barbie like one is Francophone. They end up becoming friends and their stories focus more on their respective identities as dolls and finding their place in the real world as dolls than the languages they speak. If that still sounds like something you’d be interested in, let me know and I’ll keep you updated.
@@marcellacassab4331 I think using a porcelain doll instead of a bratzesque one would lean more heavily into the differences because bratz aren’t really that different from Barbie’s but porcelain dolls would have many different experiences that a Barbie doesn’t have and vice versa. But it definitely still sounds interesting!
I have always thought of the Canadian French/English antagonistic relationship like sibling rivalry. You can gripe with the other, but if someone outside makes a comment the claws come out. Even in this video the hackles went up when I heard Jean-Luc was from France, how very dare he!?! I don't trust my French skills, but end up watching the French political debates during elections because i think the skill is vital for a leader of our country (I am always surprised at how much I understand)
When I was in elementary, I had this one friend at school who was from another country neither of us could understand each other but truthfully neither of us talked much anyway. But I remember he would point to my seek and find book and we would lay on the ground after our class work or tests and find pictures together. It was so simple but I loved that time together.
I absolutely adore this episode of Bluey. As someone who traveled ti a foreign country and fell in love with someone who speaks a different language, it really spoke to me. Yes, you truly do find amazing ways to get around language barriers. We would video chat so we could see face expressions, and gestures etc. We would also write at the same time so we could put things through google translate (and did this in person too), sometimes with hilarious outcomes when it didn’t translate correctly 😅.
I also agree about the planting of the seed. It’s part of why i think Jean-Luc is the one Bluey ends up with in the end, as the tree growing is a symbolism of their relationship growing.
I was out for a walk with a friend through a new subdivision, it was a hot day and my water bottle was empty. I walked up to an older man sitting in a chair in an open garage and asked for water. He waved his hand down sharply, what I've come to know as "I don't understand you." I held up my bottle, showed it was empty, mimed taking a drink and held it out to him. He called out to the house and his grown son appeared at the door, he passed on my message and the son took and filled my water bottle.
We couldn't speak, but we communicated.
This episode makes me think of my “dog show bestie” back when my family would go to a bazillion dog shows every year. One of the vendors’ daughter and I would meet up and have our own adventures.
I have a vivid memory of being in Germany when I was about Bluey’s age. We went to a pool and there was a German girl my age who didn’t speak any English. We still played with each other all day
LOST is my favourite show in my life.
I think it’s interesting that you focused on the multicultural aspect. For me, the reason I break down sobbing every time I see this episode is the part about how not everyone who is important to us will be with us forever.
I break down when I watch the turtleboy episode.
Our world is a beautiful garden. Every country and region is a wonderful plant, tree, flower, or bush. Some are the song birds and some are the pollinating insects (like butterflies or ants or fireflies). Everything is amazing and special and incredible in it's own way. We should celebrate that more.
Jean Luc is French Canadian. He’s a black lab, he speaks French, and his parents put maple syrup on everything
This was the 1st episode that made my husband tear up. Even just talking about to people made him emotional.
I speak French! I love watching something and I understood it without the need for subtitles! 😊
There are so many great Bluey episodes that it’s hard to recommend which to watch. But, a really good one is The Show. It has a great lesson for kids. It’s ok to be upset when something goes wrong and you’re allowed to feel that emotion, and then you keep going. Also, the previous episode you did with the ice cream reminded me of two others that have similar messages. Hammerbarn is one of my favorites and focuses on a similar message of being happy with what you have. And the other is Ragdoll, which teaches kids that you enjoy something more, like ice cream, when it’s not just handed to you and you work for it. So many great options, but I thought of those in particular.
As someone who has not traveled (low income family), how I learn to accept and learn about another's culture is to ask questions. Honest, open, genuine curiosity is one thing that children have that we as adults lack. Asking these questions with kindness, without judgment, and without stigma is an amazing way to learn about not just a culture, but the personal culture of that person's family. Their traditions. Favourite hidden gems in their homeland. We can learn so much from the people around us.
This was the first episode I saw of the show as a Australian born here and I cried if only because it reminded me of a brief childhood swimming friend I had during the school holidays when I was 6 at a water park every week we we would catch up and play games they didn't speak English or French and I didn't understand Italian but we smiled and got into so many games and I still remember her we knew each others names at least ❤ and once it was over after a month we never saw each other again not even the following year in the school break but that is one of the happiest memories and sad ones of my childhood that was a connection in the mid 90s
This episode definitely made me cry.
It caught me off guard by how incredibly wholesome and real it is with the leason that friendships can transcend languages, and then Bluey has to learn that sometimes even the closest people in our lives have to leave us ):
Chili's whole line about "Sometimes special people come into our lives, stay for a bit, and then they have to go " hit me so hard because of how true and mature it is.
This episode understands its lesson perfectly, it gets you attached to the sweet relationship between Bluey and Jean Luc, and how they both have fun together even if they dont speak the same language, and then they show us the sad reality that they cant stay together...
And then it hits us in the gut AGAIN by giving us our first time skip of the series to show that Bluey and Jean Luc meet each other again, and Jean Luc learned English just so he could talk to Bluey 😭
I watched Parasite for the first time with my partner and a group of his intellectual, theater-loving friends, which was a great experience. The second time we watched it was with his ex-wife, son, daughter, and Korean son-in-law, which was a great experience in a different way because Howard could give us some cultural insight that Charles & Friends didn’t have. I think we watched Train to Busan with Charles & Friends too (probably a different group, I don't remember), though we never saw that with Howard & Family. Still, I love having such a diverse, intelligent network!
As a dad of two in a multicultural family, I truly feel seen and understood by the creators of Bluey. This episode is incredibly wholesome, creative, and moving. It beautifully illustrates the importance of being open and accepting of others. As parents, we have the power to nurture these values in our children.
I grew up with kids that where from different countries, and i remember that when i first started school (a french one) many of my companions didnt spoke spanish, but we kind of learned each other's languages and it was so cool speaking maybe three languages at the same time in a big group and everyone understanding (or at least trying 😂)
I love your reaction to the flash-forward
I just thought what if bluey and Jean Luc get older and then meet again, and just few seconds later it happens, best ending 😊
As person learning French. I understand everything that Jean-Luc is saying and what bandit says in the episode Pavlova. And yes I’m from the United States and Most of my family are bilingual. Just learning French it’s hard but the culture, language and the music are very beautiful.
Fun little detail about this episode, in the French dub Jean Luc speaks English while bluey speaks French
You are such a cultured person, I love that about you ❤ And I love your videos, aside from giving me insight into our relationships, they have also become my comfort. Thank you
Edit: sorry for any mistakes, not my native language
“Omg we’ve got older Bluey! THIS IS LIKE LOST!!!” I found my RUclips person 😌
this episode reminded me of when i moved to peru. i had a friend who was learning english and so she taught me spanish and i taught her english. we even communicated by drawing pictures, pointing at things, or playing charades. we both learned a lot from these games. its weird how much of jean luc i understood just by learning spanish since french and spanish are similar. recently i had to do a paper for my college and it involved visiting an incan pyramid
I work with someone who doesn't speak English very well. She's super sweet, and we either mime what we mean or try and simplify it if we can. One time, I drew a picture. We're always super patient with each other and do our best to work together as best we can.
As a french person with a correct level in english this episode of bluey is CLEARLY my favorite. (I understand both so a bonus ahah)
Have a favorite movie that you physically own? Turn on captioning in a foreign language, sometimes they'll even have an audio track. I myself bought a service where I have access to languages, and prior to visiting a place I practice at least some of it. Have some documentation in foreign language try reading that after learning some of the basics, and the amount of free books on languages including children's stories/fairy tales is out there..
I do adore this episode as well as someone mentioned thet ST: TNG is another good one. I also the following words to know. Food, Drink, Water, Bathroom, Shelter, and Directions.
I cried at this episode.
Flash forwards at the end of movies are what always makes me tear up too, that's what always cracks me...
Other people have mentioned it here, but Jean-Luc is French Canadian! I believe it was confirmed he is from Quebec.
As a Canadian, I lived in the Florida panhandle and lower Alabama for about 2 years. There were times that I got made fun of for my accent. I did love the Southern states, though. I still do.
I just try to think of it as 'They speak my language a heckuva lot better than I speak theirs'.
This episode makes me think of Long Way Round/Down. Mostly language and cultural barriers gotten past with a smile and some food.
I find that little kids are supper a accepting of things like language barriers, but not so much physical or big social differences by about age 4 or so. Daniel Tiger had a really good episode when they meet Prince Wednesday's cousin who has a physical disability and Daniel is nervous about it. They do a really good job modeling how adults can handle thst situation.
“C’est notre dernier chance”
Big clue there for those that speak French
My favorite thing is if you change the language of the show to French, Bluey and fam speak French and Jean luc speaks English.
I love your Bluey videos!! I'd love if you made videos about the episodes called 'Space' and 'The Sign'
Not me crying at work watching this episode 😢 this was every summer and every holiday growing up and so many friends I made but never saw again. I’m glad they met again later.
I am a big fan of Rick Steve and his "Europe through the Back Door". One of the things he says is don't be afraid to look foolish. For instance, acting out what you need or want, like in a restaurant and you would like chicken and you don't know the word for it where you are, clucking like a chicken. Also, when traveling, to go where the locals go, get away from the tourist areas.
As someone who is chronically online and had an entire world open to me by the internet, my friends are spread across the globe. We can share so many awesome things from our cultures, and then I can come back and share it with my family and friends in meat space.
Jean-Luc is French Canadian
How very dare you!! Jean Luc is Canadian
Im a grown ass man and this made me tear up.
For me breaking into a new culture has always been through food. To quote one of my favorite anime "Eating is a privilege of the living." We all do it and every culture and person has preferences and styles in how they make their food. I think you can start so many wholesome and wonderful conversations by asking "What's your favorite food?" Or "What is a comfort meal to you?" We all have to eat and if you go in with an open mind you can create a wonderful dialogue.
Food has always been a big part of learning about other cultures for me and my husband. Whenever he meets someone new one of his icebreaker questions is what is the food your home is best known for? Everyone eats, and everyone has a local dish they can talk about.
If you can take some time off, work at a volunteer project in another country (a lot of time are fine with you speaking english). There are animal sanctuaries, building schools, building wells, planting forests, and lots of other stuff. I did on in Namibia (3 weeks) and one in ecuador (4 weeks) and I never learned so much about myself, life, and other cultures.
I am pretty sure Jean-Luc is Canadian from Quebec 😊. In the French dubbed version everyone speaks French, except Jean-Luc speaks English 😊
I Remember when our family went to a vacation in Bulgaria, I made a local friend who introduced me to GTA Vice City and banitsa (so good). It saddens me still that I don't remember his name :(
A spanish family moved into our small community. My girls (2 & 3) became fast friends with the girl the same age as them. They play dolls and house together, even though they don't speak the same language.
They are a super fun family. We do use a translation app to talk to each other, but enjoy each other company. ❤
Oh my God. Train to Bousan. One of the saddest and best horror films endings.
I am fortunate to know and meet people from different cultures. I sponsor a child and exchange letters to her to Rwanda, Africa, my eldest sister is in a relationship with a man from Nigeria Africa, my close friend and her family is from Chile, South America, and a nice woman who works in a hotel close to my house is German. I love learning about different cultures and travelling. I hope to have enough confidence to learn as many languages as I can.
Even before watching your video, I definitely know that kids are best at bonding and comunicating in play over language barriers. I'm half Luxembourgish half German and have allways lived right on the border of the two countries. Especially in Luxembourg high diversity is the norm. We have 3 official languages (Luxembourgish, German, French) and a huge portugese community. It's almost impossible to go to a playground or have some even at a restaurant without meeting kids who speak different languages.
I personally find it allways very wholesome to see how that does not stop them in any way to have fun together. I as a kid had the same experience before I learned French and English. With time english speaking population has grown too.
Even generally. "what's your name, how old are you, let's play". Almost as if the kids were better at reading body-language and non-verbal communication than adults. Maybe being so used to verbal comunication, we lose touch with the other ones... just thinking.
But I guess I'll stop that for now and watch the video.
I love love love to travel. I grew up having lots of exchange students coming over to stay with us. My parents were even often able to arrange for them to shadow us at school even if it was only for a few days. I remember I even passed my French exchange student to my boyfriend so she could attend one of his classes (possibly french) and had a mutual friend escort her back to my next class. We had so much fun and I even got to go to France to visit her in Paris. We had our very first exchange student meet up with us there too. She visited a few times to the states even after her stay with us. She was from Luxembourg.
BLUEY EPISODE! LETS GOOOOOOOOO!
Also I have been watching a lot of foreign films lately. Its not the same as a book but... yeah. If anyone is interested, I highly recommend The Tiger: A Hunters Tale. It's a South Korean film, and it's currently available on Tubi (subbed).
This reminds me of my dad and one my asian neighbour. Both can't speak dutch (i live in the netherlands) but the culture they grew up in is simealer enough that the language barrier is barely there
I don't know much Italian. At best I knew enough to book a hotel room, take a train, & order food, plus a few courtesy words & saying I'm Scottish. I went to a party in Italy once, & had a great time. Those who spoke English I could chat with, but even among those who couldn't speak it any better than I could speak Italian connected with me over the music, or in one case, the plushie backpacks!!! All in all it was a great time!!! Plus there are so many ideas you can only express in a different language. Learning languages expands your mind AND your friend group!!!
I still don't understand why Bluey is the only girl who's blue
I've been living in Japan for six years (starting my seventh on August 3rd). This really warmed my heart. Thanks for sharing!
My suggestion is if we feel ourselves get angry about something in the culture, remember history shaped it. Our cultures all have different histories, which affects the lenses in which we interact with the world. It doesn't mean we should learn to like it or lessen any of our core values, but we learn more appropriate ways of dealing with difficult issues within cultural norms. If we learn how that topic became part of the culture, we can learn how to understand the fear or mentality behind it and still bridge culture gaps. (I can't believe Aug 6th and 9th are the 79th anniversaries of the atomic bombs. Post WWII really affected Japan in ways most people don't think about.)
13:02 I'm a European who was born in Hungary, moved to Spain when I was a child and then half year later moved to Italy, lived there for 10 years and then moved to Sweden where I've been living for 5 years so far. I met many people, lot of people with lot of different opinions, views and stories about the world. I was discriminated against a lot by some people, but others have been very curious and been wanting to learn more. I met with people in Rome who have never seen the Colosseum and I met with people who walked all the way from Syria to Sweden by foot (not saying that one person is better than other though, it's just two very specific examples!). With time I also learnt to become more curious, to get braver to ask questions (cause I'm an introvert) and I hear so many stories all the time.
My advise is simple: be open minded, learn to listen, learn to see the world from other perspectives (even if you don't always agree with those views, you can still just listen for the sake of hearing other perspectives) and finally, never judge a book by its cover! You won't know someone's story until you ask it!
Another good piece of advice is to experience the authentic cuisine of another culture food is a universal need but can te) you alot about culture and history
People from the united states may be comfortable just knowing how to speak english, But people from Latin America like me who speak Spanish are FORCED to learn English if we want to aspire to better jobs or simply function better on the internet, But no one forces a gringo to learn Spanish, and it seems that some do not like it when you speak Spanish within their country.
This may be a bit of a long story, but bear with me.
My parents are from Argentina and had to escape to Mexico during the military coup of 1976. My older sister and brother were born there. My other brother and I were born in Mexico. For our generation of children of exiles, our culture is closely linked to resilience, to survival. I, perhaps, would not be alive if it were not for exile. Mexico has always been generous, it sheltered many Argentines, Chileans, Uruguayans, Brazilians, and many more, during those dark years. And it was also there that my parents found another family, that of the friendly homeland, the one that sheltered them.
Mario Benedetti, Uruguayan poet, wrote a beautiful poem titled The House and the Brick, and in a fragment he says:
"[...] I have seen my brothers in my substitute homelands
postpone their joy when ours dies,
and that is an unforgettable tribute.
That's why when I come back,
and someday I will,
to my lands, my people and my sky,
I hope that the brick that I brought at pure risk
to show the world what my house was like,
last like my hard devotions
to my fellow substitute countries,
live like a piece of my life,
remains like a brick in another house."
We are always on the move. We are a bunch of beings spinning around on a gigantic sphere. It is inevitable to meet at some point. The important thing is to honor in others what makes them unique and particular, to put aside a little of what is common to us, and to try to understand what it is to experience life from another position. Encounters should feel like an invitation, an opportunity to better understand our own nature, and what gives meaning to life. The beautiful fact of finding and recognizing each other. Transition through differences and celebrate them when they make us grow and be better people.
So is anyone else reminded of Jean-Luc Picard trying to talk to Dathon, but with less memes?
Hello again, jono from outside of Cinema therapy! Hello from Cinema therapy! Jean luc is actually from french quebec!
Hello! Good to know :)
This is one of my favorite episodes.
Love the choice of shirt for Bluey 💙
Knowing a good amount of French I can understand this character a bit
Few things one I’m a adult with no kids and I watch Bluey and I’m an American adult who watches very with no kids and do I haven’t told outside the US too many times I’ve traveled a lot hot but not many times outside the US and most attention it was it was a Calendar where they also speak English but I have been to Mexico more specifically Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and I did learn some basic and I mean very basic Spanish no I was only 16 at the time so I lost most of it. I will get a little bit of that finish my dad refresh my memory. He’s the one who taught me the first time we went to Mexico. He really taught me that basic Spanish for a trip to mesa go so May 2023 for my birthday trip down to the Dominican republic, I always have tried windows places do use as much of my Spanish as I have I have been to Bermuda but I forget what language is spoken. I don’t want him there for like a day and a half is really just the one port of call on a seven day cruise so I can’t really remember and that one was 10 years ago this past May is a trip for my 21st birthday. Other than that I haven’t really cold outside the US says not to places where I would need to know a foreign language, I have tried to learn other languages unsuccessfully I think it’s partly due to the nonverbal learning disabilities may be partly due to very late in life diagnosis of dyslexia OK not Bailey but post high school diagnosis of dyslexia, and all my other learning disabilities that may have contributed to meet you just giving up each time of try to learn your language but I do want to talk to so many other places in the world other countries where they speak other languages I want at least one basic words in those respective line coaches, so I could at least have a baseline of communication in whatever the native language is, but I just wanna see as much of the world as I can before I lose my eyesight to see it I do have some slight left I’m losing it slowly and I wanna see as much of this world as a Kendall. I still have some amount of vision to see it with and then includes other cultures of the countries with different languages and cultures because I always have had an interest for multiple other countries in their cultures, including the language and not just written language, but the spoken languages to porn I’ve always had a high appreciation for Japanese culture and language. I have tried to learn it back before my eyes closed as they did I used to watch anime, which is their home of cartoons. I used to do it with spoken in Japanese, but they had the subtitles in English and even then I had to sit rep on the TV to see the subtitles. They used to be able to do it with my eyes were not as bad and as for me, I want to just I always want to know Mandarin I’ve tried I guess I could always go to my cousins wife, who is from China and who grew up speaking Mandarin it’s her native language I’m sure she’d be willing to teach me close go to that cousin himself to he has learned Mandarin as well because they are raising the door to speak both English and Mandarin at the same time. What do you start speaking? They want to teach her both English and Mandarin side-by-side notes. She’s only two, but that was the goal. That is the goal and I will learn from one of them than my own brother, because complicated relationship and I had one or even tried to teach me, even though he majored in it and well if my cousins wife can learn English, especially American English, which is one of the hardest languages to learn supposedly specially when you have a whole different writing system, level speaking system then I have no doubt that I will put my mind where I could learn Mandarin or any other languages long they really put my heart into it. I think I just haven’t found the right way to learn it yet. I think it’s because most people learned to like they usually have it twice in one specific way for all languages and I just don’t learn like typical person. I think that’s why I struggle to learn any other floor language that I have tried to learn and I’ve tried. I’ve tried learn Japanese I’ve tried learning French. I’ve tried to learn Spanish I just don’t think I in the fourth I’ve tried to wear the white format for me, but I do really want to one really is one other language in his lifetime in visit as many other countries as possible within this lifetime as well so I do try emphasis on the try try to be cultured. It’s also not easy when you can’t tell that much due to low finances, but man if I ever was in position where I was able to get out of Social Security, I don’t know that no multi disabled autism lol dolls, that they sense be connected with autism going blind or joint pain mobility issues, all that hence, not able to work has qualify for Social Security if I was ever in position, record get off that and get out of my low income, elderly disabled apartment, and they still have enough to truly travel I’ve been traveling so much to so many different countries starting with the ones on my bucket list. but I agree they’re just eating at at least here in the US would be considered a Americanized version of certain cultural food food like Americanized, Italian, a.k.a., Olive Garden, Americanized, Chinese, or Japanese like the Asian buffets, in panda express and places like that so basically eating at the rate in the US is considered the Americanized version of those kind of cultures foods does not cut it because it’s been released into years. It’s been Americanized it’s been changed to fit what is considered the American or US palette so it’s not the same it’s not authentic event for you like with Chinese would even if you go into our Chinatown is still been Americanized maybe not to the same level as like your nearest shopping malls version but it’s still not 100% authentic although if it’s more than taking like those town, the little sections rear that culture it connects like in big cities so for me, it would be the closest I could get to have a real Chinese food out will be to make my way up to Boston to Chinatown in Boston even from Massachusetts but that’s the closest because it’s only one state. Oh wait for me I don’t have to go in to the next state north, so it’s the closest to me that’s like the closest I could ever be used to having a real Chinese food here America short of asking my cousin’s wife to make me some actual traditional Chinese dish that she grew up eating it. That’s basically all I have for choices for chance at authentic Chinese food and even then even if my cousins were forward to make me on authentic trying to sister she go up with them sure that she might had to change some ingredients because I don’t know if all the ingredients that would be needed that they would have a trade-off necessarily available here in the US at least in the southern New England part of the US all that most people they have the nearest Chinatown for semi-authentic Chinese food but that’s about it. Some places might have a little Italy pause the timer I guess that would be the closest for that but I don’t is it’s not easy to get authentic food from other countries out in your local community at least not here in the US you’re really going to hunt for places or know someone whose family is from that background and has traditional recipes passed down through the generations or before too enough to have enough money to go to one of those actual countries, but yeah agreed the rest is not count and cowboy is a good one for those who can afford it, though as for reading my mind is a shot and becoming more shot for that’s out for me but for those that can do it even if you get a movie or a show or whatever and play in the native tongue, but have the subtitles be to whether your native languages have the show movie or whatever playing in its native language in the subtitles to your native language, they able to read subtitles and if not, hopefully they have a version of that show that is dubbed into your respective language which is the only way I’m able to watch anime, which is Japanese cartoons but well that’s a extremely cold down explanation of it but I can’t see much anymore so it’s harder but yet gender cultures have a can restaurants in your big chain restaurants do not count though and as for Bluey who says that you have to be a child or an adult with children to watch it. I mean I’m an adult in my life to say I’m between my mid-20s and early 30s with no children and I still watch it it’s good for all ages and I’ll speak connect with like all my nieces and nephews, but more much younger second cousins as in the children of first cousins, at least the young ones given the oldest as a teen, but helps me connect with them. I know between three cousins this five kids of the next generation age in between 13 years and. A little over three months, including two separate two year olds
the next one you should therapize is called "cricket"!
it makes me sob like a little baby each time even though it's like,, cute
Hi, i love learning languages. I'm from Germany and i speak english, french, italian and a bit swedish. I really want to learn spanish on day and improve my swedish.
This is definitive proof that jono is not just a figment of the film guys imagination!
As an anthropology major one of the first things we are taught is the importance of holistic thinking vs ethnocentrism…it’s kind of the idea of going into conversations with people of other cultures open mindedly and not assuming that the way your culture does things is correct a great example is shown in the show sense8 when talking Riley asks why a character in the slums would want an amazing hd tv and spend his money that way when other in her eyes basic others needs werent being met let’s say a toilet or AC…and his response is because those things keep your mind here but the TV let’s your mind be anywhere you want it to be
I counted 12 skips, so the reunion is when Bluey is 18.
I want to see La Vita è Bella, the classic 1943 comedy about a man who wants to commit suicide but is stopped by a doctor who offers him a week of everything he can dream of, then he tests a new medicine that has a 50% chance of killing him.
It's a fabulous concept. I'd like to see what they did with it.
The episode, Perfect, deals with healthcare. Also the perfect Father's Day card.
Jean Lucas is actually from Quebec, Canada
Fun fact I'm French dub Jean Luc speaks English while Bluey is dubbed in French
Please do a cinema therapy on the movie Captain Fantastic
Jean-Luc is CANADIAN 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
7:00 I'm unfortunately not fluent in Spanish, but I love Spanish music. There are a few I listen to that I may not understand 100% (aside from knowing a few words and, very slowly, relearning somewhat), but it doesn't change my enjoyment. That's why I prefer to listen to Dos Oruguitas in Spanish rather than English (nothing against the singer). It just felt more powerful. Same with Japanese or Chinese songs.
I like in the translation Jean Luc is pretty much saying very similar things.
"If you don't live in the US, you're probably bilingual". 😅 Yup, I know 3 languages by heart. But I guess it's sometimes hard for English speaking people to learn a different language, because a lot of foreign people just speak English to you, like I do.
We love Bluey. My youngest will occasionally act like Muffin.
I love this episode so much! Bluey is a great show 😊
My daughter has yet to learn Spanish and her best friend has yet to learn English 😂
