So i now can appreciate that better! Anyways you are amazing with both languages and comedy, keep it up, you just got a subscriber from Venezuela
He has that problem with French. He speaks French with no accent, and so when he says something wrong, people thinks he is stupid. So basically, to not sound stupid, speak with an accent, then people think you are not native speaker.
In Finland if you call yourself bilingual, it's assumed that your native language is something other than Finnish or that you have 2 native languages. Since all of us _have to learn_ at least English and Swedish in school, most people are fluent in at least in finnish and either one of those, so... almost everyone is at least bilingual. Btw your shows are a great way to brush up my french! I learned some in school, but since I know other languages like English, I haven't used it since.
Every Finn I've ever met spoke excellent English. Same for the Dutch. Here in Australia? Generally if someone can speak a language other than English, it's because they or their family are immigrants. (or they're a weirdo like me who has a fascination with other languages)
My best friend is Finnish, she teaches me (an American) some English words every now and then still, and she still wouldn't call herself bilingual because it's not one that's always spoken in her home growing up. Her accent is so light, though, while her sister and brother-in-law, who lived in England for 1.5-2 years have noticable Finnish accents. Finns are crazy sometimes is the point I'm trying to make
It's crazy I'm not even sure how many languages my mummu can speak and read. Moved here to Canada when my mom was 5 or 6 but she's a Finlander in her heart, and thank god because I get lanttulaatikko, pulla, and pannukakku every time I visit. She may be almost 88 but she's got SISU!!!

Some American tourists asked my dad to take a photo of them and got very shocked when he started speaking to them in perfect English with a full on American accent. I was also shocked, as I did not know my dad spoke English that well. Or with a proper accent like that.
It's funny because my friend can not do any sort of English accent, she has a perfect French accent and a perfect Spanish accent but when she speaks English it's her Spanish accent really weird lol (she is Spanish moved to France at 8 and moved to England at 16)

True. The 1st time I was in Norway, I was not used to those definite articles at the end of the noun, so I went into a drugstore and asked the young female attendant : - Excuse me, are you Norwegian ? A little surprised, she answered - But... yes ! - Oh, and can you speak English ? - But... yes, I do ! - Ah, so, can you please explain me what is the difference between an "apotek" and an "apoteket" ? She looked at me and said : - Well... it's the same. OK, so much for that.

@@Kekmit I've only had access to another language for 2 years, my town In Australia. Despite having a university. There were NO language teachers my school had. Then 2 years ago, a French teacher came. Monolingual people are not all people who "disregard* learning another language, but cannot lean another language. But I took every opportunity to learn French. Thus why I'm here
@@Kekmit That's easy to say for you because you're learning English, which is basically a national lingua franca at this point. Think of how hard it is for people in the Aboriginal community who want to learn their languages even though the amount of speakers is really small. I would love to learn Dari, my language, but there are barely any resources for that.
In Belgium English is basically your third language after Dutch and French. Im also half Arab, so I basically speak 4 languages since childhood. Haven't learned any fully since though :(

That's because each state and cities and all hv different languages, and then you have to learn Hindi and/or English in school so u grow up to know atleast two languages most of the time.
Hi! I happened to watch this video and found it really hilarious. Can I add Chinese subtitles or Japanese subtitles to this video and post it on my fan page to let more Taiwanese/Japanese viewers watch it? (I’ll post the original link)
Living in Belgium (a county with three official languages) you have to learn other languages. Depending on your education you get three or four languages in school, so most of us are multilingual.
Funnily enough I also live in a country with three official languages and most people can only speak English. I've yet to meet someone who can speak English, Maori and NZ Sign.
This video reappeared in my recommendations today and I rewatched it, but I didn't realize you said something 3 years ago that isn't quite correct. It really depends on what southern European country you are talking about. Spain and Italy act as you say, but Portugal, on the other hand, has really good English and usually scores a little bit behind northern countries like Sweden or Denmark. I remember seeing a study that said they were 7th worldwide (or something like that) in terms of procifiency. Either way, I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
@@guillaumegagnon7049 Yeah, the worst ones, because nobody likes the French, my point wasn't all Canadians _can_ speak both French and English, but that to a Canadian speaking both languages isn't special... all Canadians have heard both languages being spoken at the same time, even the ones who can't speak one or the other. Watching this special to me, as a native born Canadian, is less like watching an impressive performance, and more like watching another one of our clown politicians trying to self-translate for the Quebec voters, or one of my friends who learned French in highschool and insists they can still speak it.
Canadians are cool as long as you don't mention multilingual people or cold weather. "Oh, you think _that_ is special, eh? Well let me tell you about the Great White North..." Yeah, we get it. Now take off. 😉
@@rippspeck Actually the weather in my part of Canada is pretty mild, no snow at all this year, in fact I think my town is warmer than most of the US right now. As for the multilingual thing, I was just commenting on how Uncle Jerry who learned French in 8th grade would be considered talented if he were from anywhere else in the world. Like, people act like speaking French and English good is some amazing feat, which, I mean it kinda is, learning any second language is... But at the same time, as someone pointed out, that's basically just anybody in Canada who has family in Quebec. Like seriously, I'm kinda jealous that the rest of the world gets to marvel at this guy speaking two languages, while I have to deal with it every day when I pick up the cereal box the wrong way.
here in finland people (myself included) often avoid speaking english for fear of making mistakes even though many of us know the english grammar better than some native speakers :D
I have Portuguese friends who regularly try to correct me on my English because they all make the same mistakes and collectively just agree that because they all do it it must be right.

It has more to do with having a romance language or a germanic language as native language. Northern France might not exacly southern Europe geographically speaking, we still have the low level of english that our more southern neighbours have, because we are all of romance speaking cultures
In English class, my friend was trying to teach me a phrase in French. I tried to repeat after her and she told me I sounded "too Japanese" xD (she takes French and I take Japanese, so I'm awful at French and she's awful at Japanese)
Let's see, in Sweden, English is obligatory, German or French is taught when you reach 10 years of age, then you have the option of Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish and Japanese... I took 0 foreign language classes except for English, and I slept through the English classes, because I already spoke English.
I used to work in a restaurant were a lot of tourists came to eat and every time someone from Germany or balkans said they spoke english you knew that they were lying.
There is three types of German English speakers. People like myself who had a real, long education in languages and know how to use them, people who only took basic courses and therefore obviously only speak very rudimentary English that they probably had finish learning for work related reasons on their own and people who make up this extremely amusing translations - that are usually the ones that don't travel a lot. I would go so far to say that to a certain degree, you can clearly distinguish someones class that way. It's gone so far that three entire generations are joking about this topic. So if a person says that they can speak English, this statment can vary greatly depending on the age and education. For example; if you focus on science in school, you often have far less language classes so you basically through life without French, Spanish/Portugese or even English. Eveb more local languages are usually not even bring taught (meaning smaller language groups) and most people in this nation will not need to speak more than one language - unless they travel a lot which is again a privilege of students, buisness men and as we have already established, the general income. The heavy German accent is number 2 btw. They speak English on paper but pronunciation is completely unknown or irrelevant to them. "Zhe Bank? Jes, down ze road and tzrough zhe right. It'z zhe greeeen building."
Bon, je suis Belge, je parle relativement bien anglais (mais faudrait que j'utilise google maps pour indiquer quoi que ce soit comme chemin :D ), mais autant un léger accent francais dans une langue étrangère, ok, ca peut être sexy (on me dit souvent que mon accent est charmant quand je parle allemand),, mais il y en a, ils prononcent l'anglais comme si c'était du francais, et là, mes oreilles saignent. J'ai bossé plusieurs années sur un festival aux Pays Bas, a vendre du cidre, il y a beaucoup de francophones qui y vont. Comme c'est très international et que de toute facon je ne parle pas Neerlandais, je salue les gens d'abord en Anglais.

Generalising southern Europe as Spain is just sad for the rest of us... Because most people in Portugal have a very acceptable level of English, unlike our "hermanos" in Spain :P
In general the level of English in Portugal is good, sometimes even little kids etc, and a fair lot of people speak it very well. I remember my friend and his father totally ridiculing the prime minister's speech in English, because even though there were no mistakes and it was easy to understand him, they found his accent poor. On the other hand, when my Portuguese was half decent, some people still struggled to adjust and reply in Portuguese, even when I could clearly manage a higher level than their English. Maybe the concept of somebody from the UK speaking another language is just very hard to accept as reality ;)
You are also generalizing right now. French and Italian people are worse in English than Spanish people. And at least Spaniards will try to help no matter how bad their English is, not like the French who often decline helping because of their fear of not knowing how to say something...
L'accent Italien en anglais est peut être sexy mais quand il s'agit de le comprendre c'est une autre paire de manches (cf de douloureuses expériences avec des italiens... Notamment prononçant CRM "Chi-ei-rème")

Living in Belgium (a county with three official languages) you have to learn other languages. Depending on your education you get three or four languages in school, so most of us are multilingual.
Elyy Genie Same in Holland, though. We learn Dutch, English, French and German in High School.
Funnily enough I also live in a country with three official languages and most people can only speak English. I've yet to meet someone who can speak English, Maori and NZ Sign.
01:40 hahaha Best !!
This video reappeared in my recommendations today and I rewatched it, but I didn't realize you said something 3 years ago that isn't quite correct.
It really depends on what southern European country you are talking about. Spain and Italy act as you say, but Portugal, on the other hand, has really good English and usually scores a little bit behind northern countries like Sweden or Denmark. I remember seeing a study that said they were 7th worldwide (or something like that) in terms of procifiency. Either way, I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
As a trilingual i fucking love this guy he really hits all my languages and is funny in EVERY single one😂😂
This guy: "look I can speak English and French at the same time"
Everyone: "wow that's amazing, I'm learning so much"
Canadians: "okay, and?..."
The Arctic Gamer French Canadian* aka people from Quebec province. The average canadian knows more spanish than french as their second language
@@guillaumegagnon7049 Yeah, the worst ones, because nobody likes the French, my point wasn't all Canadians _can_ speak both French and English, but that to a Canadian speaking both languages isn't special... all Canadians have heard both languages being spoken at the same time, even the ones who can't speak one or the other.
Watching this special to me, as a native born Canadian, is less like watching an impressive performance, and more like watching another one of our clown politicians trying to self-translate for the Quebec voters, or one of my friends who learned French in highschool and insists they can still speak it.
Canadians are cool as long as you don't mention multilingual people or cold weather.
"Oh, you think _that_ is special, eh? Well let me tell you about the Great White North..."
Yeah, we get it. Now take off. 😉
@@rippspeck Actually the weather in my part of Canada is pretty mild, no snow at all this year, in fact I think my town is warmer than most of the US right now.
As for the multilingual thing, I was just commenting on how Uncle Jerry who learned French in 8th grade would be considered talented if he were from anywhere else in the world.
Like, people act like speaking French and English good is some amazing feat, which, I mean it kinda is, learning any second language is... But at the same time, as someone pointed out, that's basically just anybody in Canada who has family in Quebec.
Like seriously, I'm kinda jealous that the rest of the world gets to marvel at this guy speaking two languages, while I have to deal with it every day when I pick up the cereal box the wrong way.
@@trainknut and yet you still can't speak FRENCH but nice try
Paul, this is brilliant!
Watched one video, now digging up all your videos
Paul you’re fucking amazing
I don't usually comment..... But this chap nailed it!!! I'm Spanish with a Swedish mum living in France and it's exactly what he said!!!
Only the English ARE not bothered to learn a single phrase in a different language😂
Excellent !!! 😂😂😂👍
Those ticket machines in Italy are hilarious. For anyone that knows them well...
*PLEASE BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS*
Card skimmers too, but that goes for the whole of Europe (including UK) tbh. 😂
Je t'ai découvert il y a quelques jours et depuis je suis à fond dans tes vidéos, t'es excellent 👍
The Spanish accent is soo good, he got the European accent right. the lispy part.
Ruth Axford That's not a lisp. If Spaniards have a lisp then English speakers also have a lisp...
here in finland people (myself included) often avoid speaking english for fear of making mistakes even though many of us know the english grammar better than some native speakers :D
Can't wait till the full release :D
Awesome 😄😄
Génial !
I must have watched like 10 of these videos now, and all I can think when I see the end-slate is that Paul looks like a ginger Michael Fassbender.
His Spanish is impressive.
I'm in a European school in Belgium and this is just all so true (but all within the school) 😂
I have Portuguese friends who regularly try to correct me on my English because they all make the same mistakes and collectively just agree that because they all do it it must be right.

In Greece we only speak as much english as we need to communicate with the customers... same goes for french, Italian, German and Spanish
Και η προφορά μας δε βοηθάει συνήθως...
as an Italian girl this is so funny lmao
and yes I admit that machines have accents
It has more to do with having a romance language or a germanic language as native language. Northern France might not exacly southern Europe geographically speaking, we still have the low level of english that our more southern neighbours have, because we are all of romance speaking cultures
excellent sketch xD
Why is this in my recommended
UPDATE: I LOVE THIS AND I DON'T REGRET WATCHING IT
The machine was Mario
Most of the train machines in Rome actually had a british accent when English was selected
In English class, my friend was trying to teach me a phrase in French. I tried to repeat after her and she told me I sounded "too Japanese" xD (she takes French and I take Japanese, so I'm awful at French and she's awful at Japanese)
J’adore je voudrais te voir sur scène mais je parle pas assez bien anglais
British accent is indeed sexy, especially when a waitress says "merci d'insérer votre PIN" as I once heard on the boat across the British channel.
Cool ta video
Tu as la même voix que mon prof d’anglais
Let's see, in Sweden, English is obligatory, German or French is taught when you reach 10 years of age, then you have the option of Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish and Japanese... I took 0 foreign language classes except for English, and I slept through the English classes, because I already spoke English.
Now I feel proud of our italian accent😂
In France, Pepe le pew actually has an Italian accent whereas he has a French accent in English-speaking countries.
I used to work in a restaurant were a lot of tourists came to eat and every time someone from Germany or balkans said they spoke english you knew that they were lying.
There is three types of German English speakers. People like myself who had a real, long education in languages and know how to use them, people who only took basic courses and therefore obviously only speak very rudimentary English that they probably had finish learning for work related reasons on their own and people who make up this extremely amusing translations - that are usually the ones that don't travel a lot. I would go so far to say that to a certain degree, you can clearly distinguish someones class that way. It's gone so far that three entire generations are joking about this topic.
So if a person says that they can speak English, this statment can vary greatly depending on the age and education. For example; if you focus on science in school, you often have far less language classes so you basically through life without French, Spanish/Portugese or even English. Eveb more local languages are usually not even bring taught (meaning smaller language groups) and most people in this nation will not need to speak more than one language - unless they travel a lot which is again a privilege of students, buisness men and as we have already established, the general income. The heavy German accent is number 2 btw. They speak English on paper but pronunciation is completely unknown or irrelevant to them.

Les français ont l'accent le plus sexy...J'ai senti mon ego monté d'un cran x'D
Bon, je suis Belge, je parle relativement bien anglais (mais faudrait que j'utilise google maps pour indiquer quoi que ce soit comme chemin :D ), mais autant un léger accent francais dans une langue étrangère, ok, ca peut être sexy (on me dit souvent que mon accent est charmant quand je parle allemand),, mais il y en a, ils prononcent l'anglais comme si c'était du francais, et là, mes oreilles saignent.
J'ai bossé plusieurs années sur un festival aux Pays Bas, a vendre du cidre, il y a beaucoup de francophones qui y vont.
Comme c'est très international et que de toute facon je ne parle pas Neerlandais, je salue les gens d'abord en Anglais. Quand les gens répondent, parfois, j'enchaine directement en Francais, parce que même si grammaticalement la réponse en Anglais était parfaite, vraiment, ca fait mal à entendre.
Bref.
Sinon.... J'adore la Suède. :D
On remarque l'accent francophone nous, mais pour les étrangers c'est un accent comme un autre donc eux ça ne les dérange pas
XLghost ça dépend de l’accent
@@raptorr575 Je veux dire, ils remarqueront évidemment l'accent français mais ils de diront pas "ah c'est de la merde, il sait pas parler"
XLghost l’accent peut changer le sens des mots en fait donc dur dur de comprendre quelqu’un qui n’arrive pas à prononcer normalement une phrase :/
"... beaucoup DES francophones..."
Merci bien.
Slu Paul! En fait j'habite en Afrique et dpu plusieurs je suis tes videos tu es vraiment entrain d'emmerder les Français!! Good job!!No je taquine!! Mais ce serait très agréable de te voir en Afrique faire des vidéos j'espère que c'est un bon challenge! Allez merci...
The machine actually sounded like Mario. You know, Super Mario? HAHA! XD
As a swede, I’m so sorry hahahahaha
Au Portugal, ils savent très bien parler anglais !
C'est vrai comparé à l'Espagne et l'Italie...
je suis portugaise et je ne pense que c'est vrai. ni les enfants et ados ni les adultes plus agés le parlent bien. solement les adultes jeunes parlent l'anglais bien. du moins, c'est comme ça dans la petite ville où j'habite (pardon, mon français est pas bon)
@@MariaCaradAnjo j'ai été en Algarve, à Sintra et à Lisbonne et je trouve que vous étiez vraiment pas si pire comparé à l' Espagne et à l'Italie. D'ailleurs, les italiens parlaient mieux français que l'anglais.(Votre français est super bon d'ailleurs 👍) P.S je suis québécois
merci! j'ai tradui ton commenter et j'ai apprendu quelques mots :)
@@MariaCaradAnjo O francês é muito complicado, mesmo para os franceses
🤣🤣🤣🤣🌟🌟🌟Sooo true!!!
I wanted to come to your second show but the theater doesn’t accept minors ...
I asked a guy in Paris if he knew English n he sd "un peu de" n i asked directions to nearest metro station n that's exactly wt i gt too! "Basically head straight down the road there's an intersection there's a flight of Stairs going down on the right side of the road it'll lead u to underground metro"
I ws like " I speak a little bit of English then. HE'S perfect."😐
I'm so glad Mario and Luigi aren't real persons... 😥😅😂
He's so right about English level Northern European countries
I feel like this guy's humor was made for me. An American with Mexican ancestry and a French girlfriend hahaha
but he's British?????
@@riyabiya4 yeah, but he speaks English haha
Your username checks out.
je te kiffe 😎
I remember one time at the train station, an english speaker asked if someone spoke english. A guy next to me said yes, so the english speaker asked for direction. The guy legit said "Sow, euuhh you... you go to... to ze left and you taike ze..." (15 seconds of blank, not knowing what to say). French are really overestimating their english level, I hardly say i speak english because of my shitty accent.
Excellent ! Merci !
Except Portugal though, everyone speaks English well.
i wish but that's not the case with the people around me
@@MariaCaradAnjo Well as a foreigner living in Portugal, that means it's pretty hard to learn Portuguese, they all automatically speak English to you. Same in like probably the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries.
Why, where do you live?
i'm portuguese so it doesn't really affect me, but i live in a small town in the north and very few people here speak english well. but i guess it's different if you live in a city. anyway i hope you enjoy living here!
@@MariaCaradAnjo Yeah I live in Lisbon. But compared to for instance Athens where I was before, very few people spoke English there compared to here. And their language is way more complicated and not related to anything else so it was much more difficult to communicate there .
When did Daniel Radcliffe start doing stand-up?

Generalising southern Europe as Spain is just sad for the rest of us... Because most people in Portugal have a very acceptable level of English, unlike our "hermanos" in Spain :P
If I remember correctly, England (later UK) and Portugal have a fairly extensive history so that's probably a contributing factor.
In general the level of English in Portugal is good, sometimes even little kids etc, and a fair lot of people speak it very well. I remember my friend and his father totally ridiculing the prime minister's speech in English, because even though there were no mistakes and it was easy to understand him, they found his accent poor.
On the other hand, when my Portuguese was half decent, some people still struggled to adjust and reply in Portuguese, even when I could clearly manage a higher level than their English. Maybe the concept of somebody from the UK speaking another language is just very hard to accept as reality ;)
@@nish8435 . The worst are the native english speakers
You are also generalizing right now. French and Italian people are worse in English than Spanish people. And at least Spaniards will try to help no matter how bad their English is, not like the French who often decline helping because of their fear of not knowing how to say something...
J’ai bien ris thank you ;)
J'ai été en Suède, c'est fou tout le monde parle anglais là bas !
Moi je suis allé en Angleterre et personne n'y parle le suédois.
@@Charles25192 scandaleux
Great Super Mario impression!
Just loved it.
L'accent Italien en anglais est peut être sexy mais quand il s'agit de le comprendre c'est une autre paire de manches (cf de douloureuses expériences avec des italiens... Notamment prononçant CRM "Chi-ei-rème")
Bah les Français aussi sont difficiles à comprendre quand ils parlent anglais ! Ils le parlent avec la même prosodie qu'ils ont quand ils parlent français 😅
