Jws and Arabs/Muslims never had a problem with eachother until colonial brits and americans forced one group of people they had problems with for 2000 years onto another group of people they also hate for over a millenia. And they hated and still dislike both groups due to misconceptions, misinformations and conspiracy theories. Anti-semitism and anti-muslimism is deeply part of christian dominant european History. Western civilization might have seperate from the church, but misinformation, hatred and conspiracy theories were given onto the next generations anyway.
Keep in mind the people in the countries and the leaders of the countries are completely different people. I can guarantee you 99% of the people in Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Palestine or any other country conflict are completely against war.
I love how you can find people from different cultures around the world in cities like Berlin and notice how they respect each other. Greetings from Colombia.
From intuition, according to their age: Older generation: Only German or German and a little English 30-50: German, English and another European language, most likely French, Spanish or Italian. Younger or Gen Z: German, English and a little Japanese or Korean.
yeah but especially the younger generation learn a lot of languages in school. I learned English, Latin and Spanish and others also learned French. So those are given. And then through the rise of K-Pop and anime a lot of people are also learning that. So I feel like the average Gen Z German knows 4 languages if they are native German and even more if they are immigrants
@@lunastar8988 I guess my comment was also more based on interest. I don't come from Germany myself, but I think the younger generation learn second and third languages like french, russian or even latin. But they ditch them after school and are more committed to learning japanese/korean because those are the trendy languages due to their cultural influence today. That's why I only mentioned japanese/korean instead of Spanish or Latin for Gen Z. We also have to define what "knowing" a language is. If your language skills is limited to ordering a baguette and coffee at a local french cafe or introducing yourself in greek, that doesn't count. Knowing a language should mean you have a minimum of B1 or B2 competency.
@@0726-o9b due to the german school system students usually reach at least b1 in Spanish and b2 in French. And I personally can still translate a lot of inscriptions because I took Latin in middle school…

It's incredible how much you manage to learn about people by asking the same simple question all over the world. Great work. Lovely to see. Keep it up.
I really felt the "our education system is kind of alright" regarding English. They also did a great job explaining that speaking good English as a German is not as common.
you have to read that as 'over self critical' stereotype - often middle age/older people have still this kind of stereotype. and it also has to be read as kind of 'understatement'. the reality is if course that Germany is among the best English speaking countries in the world (it was even more if not a part of the popuation (older eastern Germans) had during the cold war Russian instead of English at school: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EF_English_Proficiency_Index
another aspect: the older people are the more they tend to live mentally still in stereotypes of the 20. century - and miss how FAST nowadays things can change (especially if not part if bubbles with more younger people or cultural milieus in which things got accelerated)
I understand why Germans do not focus on learning english. They don't have to. For example, in my country, speaking english at B2 level is listed as a requirement in most of a job offers and it's not seen as a extra knowledge. But speaking German can help you find above average salary job. I actually regret i havent learned German in school, instead of English.
@@katieb5707 Germans focus on learning English, just a bit less than many likeminded but smaller countries, because German is still a big language, understood by many people AND usually by a wealthy population right in the dominant center of Europe. But the reality in the 21. century is that cities became more and more bilingual with German and English (and masses of local languages from all over the world). In the 20. century there was for most people mainly some kind of 'school English' as theoretical skill. This changed, now English is used more for practical reasons (job, university, netflix, youtube, talking with other people, friends, colleges, tourists form other countries in German cities and the rest of the world - and so on)

I'm from Berlin but have been living in Spain for 30 years now which has helped me to be completely fluent in Spanish and also quite fluent in Catalan. I'd say that most Berliners have at least a fairly good knowledge of English. For communicative purposes it tends to be alright even though others are far from fluent. Scandinavian people and the Dutch tend to have a much better command of English. What I love about Berlin is the mix of going back to my roots combined with a really cosmopolitan flair. I find myself relatively easily in the situation to have a chat with someone in the streets whether in Spanish, English, French, possibly even Catalan. I speak a little bit of Dutch, too but their German tends to be better than my Dutch. Anyway, it's fun to come along these situations but in German for me as well, possibly helping someone out with getting along in Berlin. Beyond that, it's fun to be able to surprise people. I was once in the situation to explain directions to a couple from Catalonia in their language. They were quite stunned almost thinking that we, Gernans, are so perfect that we put our people in the right spot giving explanations.
The last guy noticed something important. In large cities, more people speak English, but in small cities this is a problem. I'm from Poland and it's similar here. I am 41 years old and I studied German and Russian at school. I learned English on my own.
This world could be such a beautiful place… a melting pot of every culture, food and music… excl. politics and religion. just respecting and accepting one another ❤
I like these little impressions between the surveys. They reflect my little town beautifully. btw: Speaking three lnguages. German, english and some bavarian 😄
Well I live in Berlin . My parents are Iranian so I speak Persian . I grew up in Norway so i do speake norweagian . I learned english at school . and I live in Berlin ,that would be german. I lived and also studied in Italy so basic medium level Italian . I also had french at school ..So I lost the count of languages i speak
🐢 I loved this one! Berlin a is truly cosmopolitan and free city. I was surprised by 3 Japanese answers and really liked the lady who first said "only one" then realised she speaks four 😅
Hi, your video really impressed me! It is good to see people around to world who still try communicate and share cultures! May I use that content with changing the theme as “Istanbul”? Thanks for all courtesy!
I have been to Berin a few times but not for about 15 years now. I like the city as it's very cosmopolitan in the centre while it's very German on the outskirts. I was able to stay with a German family and their friends in the former East and they were brought up behind the Iron Curtain. It was fascinating to hear their stories and see their city's transformation,some good,some not so good. I learnt a bit of German from them and have tried to keep practicing through the internet. I hope to meet them again one day.
Everything is extremely relative with speaking. Speaking to what extent? If we take English as an example, the majority of the world's population speaks at beginner/elementary level and can ask and answer the basic questions like how are you, how do you feel and etc, but fewer people can speak it at a native-like level. This apllies to any language.
I feel so bad for not learning the German language since the moment I decided it would worth it. The initial thoughts 'bout studying the language appeared when I was at 10th grade and actually I bought the book "Deutsch als Fremdsprache A1-B1" and started my studying journey. Everything was fine and fun but several pages always took me so much time to understand every single piece of new info which made learning daunting cuz I wanted to see progress right at the moment, and actually I could express who I am and what I like in a simple way after several days. But again learning it took so much time from each day which made me to abandon it. And now it's time 'bout August and I'm planning to renew the pursuit 🐢 despite not achieving B1 in 1 month.
expecting to reach B1 level in German in about a month when you start as a beginner sounds very ambitious. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and give yourself more time learning the language, it is a difficult one to learn.
@adrva345 In my case I'd like to enroll in German university hence it's cheaper there. Also you made me think that Chinese unis aren't that expensive too, but yeah, the language is tough and I don't really think that there is need in my field of study. Plus German covers most parts of europe: Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein, Switzerland and also slavic speakers tend to learn it hereby we have more than 100 mil speakers overall. And German sounds sooo good! As you can see there's meaning for me
@@CHarlotte-ro4yi You're right, I will try to tune my head think that slow learning isn't that bad if there's progress. Also there's no need for me to hurry 🙂 I even figured out how much everything can take in time and came to the conclusion that in 1 month it's possible to learn it till A2 if I'll try really, really hard.
Check out Deutsche Welle, and particularly the course Nicos Weg. It’s totally free and a fantastic course that covers A1-B1, and you might find it more engaging than the textbook!
Love these series! I live in Berlin for a year now, coming from Ukraine. I speak Ukrainian, Russian, English, Polish and now German. I also studied Korean and Hebrew, but I don’t use those actively so those are not in a good shape. What I love about Berlin is that it is free from judgement and very diverse! I wish Ukraine will be the same after the win❤
Native German people surprised me how many of them can speak Spanish. Travelling around the whole country I found myself using sometimes more Spanish than English.
Saeed (the half-Palestinian, half-Ukrainian lad) goes ahead and speaks in his mother tongue Arabic. The interviewer’s reaction “woow”. 😂Yeah it’s indeed very mind blowing that people can speak in their own modern tongue.
I have been following you on RUclips since I watched your video in Morocco. I currently live in Berlin. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to meet you. However, if you ask me, here is my response: I speak five languages fluently. Amazigh and Arabic are both my mother tongues, I learned French and English in Moroccan school, and German for the university. I also understand all Arabic dialects, have some knowledge of Turkish, and a basic understanding of Spanish and Italian.
How do you get from Morocco to Berlin? I am just really interested to know how that works. Because even me as a German, who doesnt live far away from Berlin. It is literally impossible to find a flat there. Now could you be so kind and open that secret to me :). Moving from another country and then directly to a city where no German can get into.
@@Stinktierchen I came here as student in 2002. In 2002 it was easy to find a flat :D but my first 4 years I lived in students- dormitory. after that I got my first apartment till 2012, then I moved to my actual apartment. I know from my colleagues that s now very hard to find a flat, but don't give up, good luck.
Wow!! You are a very good detective! 😂 Okay, here's the story. So I visited Münster and was planning to make a video but I didn't have time. So I ended up with just the only clip of this tall German guy eating currywurst, which I thought was a great moment and it would be bad to waste it... so I tried to sneak it into the Berlin video thinking no one would tell the difference. But somehow you found it! Well done! Are you from Münster?
1) I looove Berlin! Miss it so much 2) As a Russian I was pleasantly surprised so many people know it 3) I couldn’t stop smiling at those beautiful people
12:22 Berlin looks diferent but beautiful in evey shot .. this looks looks like Rome or India with the preserved ruin in the background. I like that there are these "not fixed" buildings in the city, like this or Gedächtniskirche
I have been watching this series of videos (where you ask people how many languages they speak) and I have been waiting somebody to say they speak Bulgarian (my native language), Greek or Turkish (because I'm learning them) and the first person that spoke Turkish said he loves taking drugs lmao. The good thing is I learnt a new word... 😅😅
Ich bin so froh, dass der erste Mann Indonesisch spricht! ❤ It is estimated that there are around 5000 German language schools in Indonesia and so many Indonesians are interested in learning the language (including me), so it’s a nice surprise to see someone from there is interested is in learning our national language as well. Prost! 🇮🇩 🍻 🇩🇪 Edit: It has come to my attention that he’s a popular RUclipsr 😂
🦖. Nice video. I absolutely agree about German’s linguistic abilities. I have a couple of German friends and they speak really good english, some of them even speak a bit of Spanish and French. I am also moving from France to germany in January and I’m so happy. Also so cool that you met they guy from @RadicalLiving
1) English is taught from third grade onward in schools. 2) Lots of Berliners are either foreigners or natives born to foreign parents (aka they grew up bilingually). 3) Living in a diverse community means having foreign friends or acquaintances and learning some phrases of their language
As mentioned by someone else in a previous comment, English is taught from third grade (8 years old) onwards, most often all the way up to finishing high school, hence German high school students are reading and analysing Shakespeare or Orwell in English class by the age of 16-18. Also in order to obtain your high school diploma that qualifies you to go to university German students are required to learn a second foreign language. Therefore most of the time a second foreign language (commonly a choice between French or Latin) is introduced into the curriculum at 10-12 years old and again taught until the end of high school (with some opting out at 16ish). Many schools also offer to study additional languages in high school (so from 15 onwards) such as Spanish, Italian, Greek, Chinese or even Hebrew, hence German students by the time they graduate more often than not speak or have an understanding of at least two foreign languages. On top of that living on a continent where you can travel freely and easily across borders it is common for people to spend some time learning a language of another (neighbouring) country. Also the university student exchange programme Erasmus is a common way for students to start learning another language while studying in another country for a semester.
In school we start either with French or English. Some schools have courses in Chinese, French, Latin, Spanish. That's where I learned Spanish and French but I honestly forgot everything. I love learning languages but I would not say I speak all the languages I learn. I speak German a my mothertongue and English. I'm able to understand slowly spoken Dutch and Danish. But I study hard to become a polyglot. That's my goal.
In Europe it’s basically normal that you know atleast English + the native language ofc. And most people especially in Berlin are foreigners so those languages add up

Scandinavian people and the Dutch tend to have a much better command of English. What I love about Berlin is the mix of going back to my roots combined with a really cosmopolitan flair. I find myself relatively easily in the situation to have a chat with someone in the streets whether in Spanish, English, French, possibly even Catalan. I speak a little bit of Dutch, too but their German tends to be better than my Dutch. Anyway, it's fun to come along these situations but in German for me as well, possibly helping someone out with getting along in Berlin. Beyond that, it's fun to be able to surprise people. I was once in the situation to explain directions to a couple from Catalonia in their language. They were quite stunned almost thinking that we, Gernans, are so perfect that we put our people in the right spot giving explanations.
Where did you learn English?
The last guy noticed something important. In large cities, more people speak English, but in small cities this is a problem. I'm from Poland and it's similar here. I am 41 years old and I studied German and Russian at school. I learned English on my own.
A Palestinian and an Israeli sitting on a park bench having a conversation. Wonderful!!
In Berlin. Should be the same in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem or Gaza.
Unfortunately, Gaza won't allow any of that!@@Eunegin23
@@tonylarussa4046Maybe get your facts right. Gaza is/was under occupation! Not the other way round.
Funny how palestinian and israeli on the internet is a whole different story
Maybe get your facts right. Arabs can go anywhere in Israel, while jews are not allowed in Gaza.
So many great interviews, I love this series so much. (Yael and Saeed seem to be cool people, all the best to you, guys!)
Oh, this first guy runs his own you tube channel about Germany, very funny. Thanks for your videos! ))
What's the name of the channel?

This world could be such a beautiful place… a melting pot of every culture, food and music… excl. politics and religion. just respecting and accepting one another ❤
Haha, the first guy is from "Radical Living" !
I like these little impressions between the surveys. They reflect my little town beautifully.
btw: Speaking three lnguages. German, english and some bavarian 😄
Even though Europe is full of amazing cities, Berlin might be my favourite one of them all

🐢 I loved this one! Berlin a is truly cosmopolitan and free city. I was surprised by 3 Japanese answers and really liked the lady who first said "only one" then realised she speaks four 😅
Maybe cause shes not fluent ! It's a tricky question haha
Hi, your video really impressed me! It is good to see people around to world who still try communicate and share cultures! May I use that content with changing the theme as “Istanbul”? Thanks for all courtesy!
Did you know you were interviewing Radical Living here? It's nice to see him in a different light :)
I can't believe they met by accident 😅 hope we can expect new colab soon 🤞
I was looking for this comment, thought the same thing instantly. @RadicalLiving was this by accident? o.o
🐢Love your videos so much!👍I speak Mandarin, Shanghainese, and English fluently, and a little Japanese, French, Cantonese, and Spanish as well.
It's so amazing to ask so many people from different cultures. Thank you, brother❤
Fabulous video!
I have been to Berin a few times but not for about 15 years now. I like the city as it's very cosmopolitan in the centre while it's very German on the outskirts. I was able to stay with a German family and their friends in the former East and they were brought up behind the Iron Curtain. It was fascinating to hear their stories and see their city's transformation,some good,some not so good. I learnt a bit of German from them and have tried to keep practicing through the internet. I hope to meet them again one day.
The instagram plug at the end killed me😂Thanks for coming to Berlin!
😂
Everything is extremely relative with speaking. Speaking to what extent? If we take English as an example, the majority of the world's population speaks at beginner/elementary level and can ask and answer the basic questions like how are you, how do you feel and etc, but fewer people can speak it at a native-like level. This apllies to any language.
I feel so bad for not learning the German language since the moment I decided it would worth it. The initial thoughts 'bout studying the language appeared when I was at 10th grade and actually I bought the book "Deutsch als Fremdsprache A1-B1" and started my studying journey. Everything was fine and fun but several pages always took me so much time to understand every single piece of new info which made learning daunting cuz I wanted to see progress right at the moment, and actually I could express who I am and what I like in a simple way after several days. But again learning it took so much time from each day which made me to abandon it.
And now it's time 'bout August and I'm planning to renew the pursuit 🐢 despite not achieving B1 in 1 month.
expecting to reach B1 level in German in about a month when you start as a beginner sounds very ambitious. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and give yourself more time learning the language, it is a difficult one to learn.
@adrva345 In my case I'd like to enroll in German university hence it's cheaper there. Also you made me think that Chinese unis aren't that expensive too, but yeah, the language is tough and I don't really think that there is need in my field of study.
Plus German covers most parts of europe: Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein, Switzerland and also slavic speakers tend to learn it hereby we have more than 100 mil speakers overall.
And German sounds sooo good!
As you can see there's meaning for me
@@CHarlotte-ro4yi You're right, I will try to tune my head think that slow learning isn't that bad if there's progress. Also there's no need for me to hurry 🙂
I even figured out how much everything can take in time and came to the conclusion that in 1 month it's possible to learn it till A2 if I'll try really, really hard.
@adrva345 How is a language useless? Also, Spanish and Portuguese are generally easier to learn than German
Check out Deutsche Welle, and particularly the course Nicos Weg. It’s totally free and a fantastic course that covers A1-B1, and you might find it more engaging than the textbook!
Those last 2 guys were so cool. Nice video!
I love Berlin so much
Love these series! I live in Berlin for a year now, coming from Ukraine. I speak Ukrainian, Russian, English, Polish and now German. I also studied Korean and Hebrew, but I don’t use those actively so those are not in a good shape. What I love about Berlin is that it is free from judgement and very diverse! I wish Ukraine will be the same after the win❤
Lol, win

Saeed (the half-Palestinian, half-Ukrainian lad) goes ahead and speaks in his mother tongue Arabic. The interviewer’s reaction “woow”. 😂Yeah it’s indeed very mind blowing that people can speak in their own modern tongue.
Man I wish I was asked this question in your videos😂 Come to Hamburg please if you‘re still in Germany lol
That Swedish girl is just so lovely. I saw her, before she opened her mouth, I thought: She is Swedish! BANG! I won, I won, I won.
I have been following you on RUclips since I watched your video in Morocco. I currently live in Berlin. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to meet you. However, if you ask me, here is my response: I speak five languages fluently. Amazigh and Arabic are both my mother tongues, I learned French and English in Moroccan school, and German for the university. I also understand all Arabic dialects, have some knowledge of Turkish, and a basic understanding of Spanish and Italian.
How do you get from Morocco to Berlin? I am just really interested to know how that works. Because even me as a German, who doesnt live far away from Berlin. It is literally impossible to find a flat there. Now could you be so kind and open that secret to me :). Moving from another country and then directly to a city where no German can get into.
@@Stinktierchen I came here as student in 2002. In 2002 it was easy to find a flat :D but my first 4 years I lived in students- dormitory. after that I got my first apartment till 2012, then I moved to my actual apartment. I know from my colleagues that s now very hard to find a flat, but don't give up, good luck.
Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin check. Where to next, Prague Czechia?
Turkish man says in Turkish that he likes drugs and partying but translates it as "being wild and young"😂 13:24
Great video! Loved the part with the man and woman from Palestine and Israel and the interaction with the two Kerls at the end!
I speak German, "Swiss-German", Russian, English.... annnnnnnnnnnd Montenegrin, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, Mazedonian 🙈😂🤣😂🤣
Hehe me too.😂❤
Latin 😅😅😅 never thought of listing that in my language skills. A lot germans still need to learn it in highschool today. In Italy too, i think ...
The Interview at minute 4:50 is Form Münster, not Berlin.
Wow!! You are a very good detective! 😂 Okay, here's the story. So I visited Münster and was planning to make a video but I didn't have time. So I ended up with just the only clip of this tall German guy eating currywurst, which I thought was a great moment and it would be bad to waste it... so I tried to sneak it into the Berlin video thinking no one would tell the difference. But somehow you found it! Well done! Are you from Münster?
I was wondering why someone in berlin would say „mantaplatte“ thats not a term someone in east and north Germany would use especially not in berlin
RADICAL LIVING!! ❤ I saw the vudeo just for you!!!
Já estou ansioso pelo próximo vídeo. 😁
Another great one.
1) I looove Berlin! Miss it so much
2) As a Russian I was pleasantly surprised so many people know it
3) I couldn’t stop smiling at those beautiful people
I speak Portuguese, English, Spanish and mandarin ❤
I never know if RadicalLiving just shows up on other videos randomly or if he's collabing, lmao
Danke schon, tolles video
I was a little bit confused why I don't understand your Canadian English 😅
And the other one it was lovely to hear Ukrainian at the list 💙💛
12:22 Berlin looks diferent but beautiful in evey shot .. this looks looks like Rome or India with the preserved ruin in the background. I like that there are these "not fixed" buildings in the city, like this or Gedächtniskirche
The Turkish guy said "I like to party a lot and using drugs a lot" ahahahaha
I have been watching this series of videos (where you ask people how many languages they speak) and I have been waiting somebody to say they speak Bulgarian (my native language), Greek or Turkish (because I'm learning them) and the first person that spoke Turkish said he loves taking drugs lmao. The good thing is I learnt a new word... 😅😅
Wait a second... That first guy you interviewed seems to have some potential to be a youtuber 🤔😆

Lol the first guy you interviewed (indo) is a famous Berliner RUclipsr :D
I was surprised nobody mentioned it in the comments. I really had to search for your comment.
Ich bin so froh, dass der erste Mann Indonesisch spricht! ❤ It is estimated that there are around 5000 German language schools in Indonesia and so many Indonesians are interested in learning the language (including me), so it’s a nice surprise to see someone from there is interested is in learning our national language as well. Prost! 🇮🇩 🍻 🇩🇪
Edit: It has come to my attention that he’s a popular RUclipsr 😂
Gampang hehe
He probably lived on Bali for a while. It Wouldn’t surprise since he is a stereotypical inhabitant of Berlin.
@@davinnicode Ach so. I have no knowledge on any kind of stereotype that a Berliner supposed to have.
@@kilanspeaks did he speak indonesian or bali? I think he spoke Bali (as a techno and rave fan)
It's still as exoctic as speaking czech or polish, although this are neighboring countries.

But yeah it is cool that there are some Israelis who don't hate Palestinians
The first guy is a German RUclipsr Radical Living! It was hilarious that you got him speaking Indonesian hungover.
That’s what I was going to say. I can’t believe that that was a coincidence!
🦖. Nice video. I absolutely agree about German’s linguistic abilities. I have a couple of German friends and they speak really good english, some of them even speak a bit of Spanish and French. I am also moving from France to germany in January and I’m so happy. Also so cool that you met they guy from @RadicalLiving
Im jealous. How do all these people know how to speak so many languages?🐢💚
living in different countries
1) English is taught from third grade onward in schools. 2) Lots of Berliners are either foreigners or natives born to foreign parents (aka they grew up bilingually). 3) Living in a diverse community means having foreign friends or acquaintances and learning some phrases of their language
As mentioned by someone else in a previous comment, English is taught from third grade (8 years old) onwards, most often all the way up to finishing high school, hence German high school students are reading and analysing Shakespeare or Orwell in English class by the age of 16-18. Also in order to obtain your high school diploma that qualifies you to go to university German students are required to learn a second foreign language. Therefore most of the time a second foreign language (commonly a choice between French or Latin) is introduced into the curriculum at 10-12 years old and again taught until the end of high school (with some opting out at 16ish). Many schools also offer to study additional languages in high school (so from 15 onwards) such as Spanish, Italian, Greek, Chinese or even Hebrew, hence German students by the time they graduate more often than not speak or have an understanding of at least two foreign languages.
On top of that living on a continent where you can travel freely and easily across borders it is common for people to spend some time learning a language of another (neighbouring) country. Also the university student exchange programme Erasmus is a common way for students to start learning another language while studying in another country for a semester.
In school we start either with French or English. Some schools have courses in Chinese, French, Latin, Spanish. That's where I learned Spanish and French but I honestly forgot everything.
I love learning languages but I would not say I speak all the languages I learn. I speak German a my mothertongue and English. I'm able to understand slowly spoken Dutch and Danish. But I study hard to become a polyglot. That's my goal.
In Europe it’s basically normal that you know atleast English + the native language ofc.
And most people especially in Berlin are foreigners so those languages add up
Great video as usual
