i am filipino, but my first language was english. i first heard of the swear word "pota or potangina" from my aunt, and i bluntly asked my mom what it means. I got smacked, ofc, but its not my fault its my parent's ☺️
As someone who’s learning Tagalog willingly at home and Italian in school, I can definitely say the languages aren’t that hard to understand when you think about it! That goes to everyone here! You can always learn any language, just don’t overwhelm yourself with how difficult you think the languages are. Because at the end of the day, you’ll still be able to understand with a lot of studies and water! :3
noice- I agree with you, I'm learning German in school and Japanese and Finnish at home, I'm making progress in Japanese reading and understanding, but I gotta keep up some more with Finnish since I want to be the closest to fluent as possible when I'll go to university there btw, where are you from- I mean you learn Italian at the school you go everyday or you go to a second school of your choice?- I'm just so confused XD, I speak Italian myself and this language is not really useful like Spanish or German
i mean- It mainly depends on the language, i'm italian and i've started learning English a couple of years ago and yet i'm more fluent in English than in italian. italian Is Just so hard even for me that i Hear It everyday jsjsksksksksksksks
@@aria-kun really? I'm not Italian but I find it easier than Russian, I mean I speak both Italian and English fluently, but I find it hard to translate. well, there are some hard things in Italian if you think about it, but I can compare it to Russian cursive and other..
@@paulaedwardsxii tbh, as a native speaker i can 100% Say that no One speaks italian. i mean, they try to teach It at school but it's like, even the teachers give up and Say "you know what? use the version of italian you prefer. i'ma head the fuck outta here." so yeah- wich version are you learning?-
Yeah! As a filipino, english was also my first language as well 'cuz I was in private school at that time. I learned my actual dialect (which is Bisaya) when I turned elementary in public school because of new classmates' influence hehe and also I learned tagalog at school...
@@yesimaventisimp9031 well I didn't fail ESP before but ever since COVID came my grades suddenly went down . I fail to in AP but maybe I get a 94 or 93 on my Card .
I grew up as a person who only spoke english even if I was a filipino. The reason why is because the videos I watched as a kid were English, so it basically made me a lot more fluent in English than Filipino. When I got older and went to school I got A LOT of trouble in Filipino class that I mostly needed my mom's help when it came to hw. Nowadays I still use English as my first language but I only use Filipino when its necessary
I can relate to this- English was my first language as well since I grew up in Dubai and studied in an English Medium School. I knew a bit of my mother tongue. When I moved to my Native place I found it hard to communicate with other people and people misunderstood me very easily. 😭
As someone who learned English as a 1st language and Spanish as a 2nd language (technically 3rd since in elementary I was taking the mandatory Mandarin classes but we’ll ignore that) I get it. I’m only just realizing that Bandera means flag in Spanish this year lmao
I am a filipino myself and I relate to the fact that alot of people think I'm american just because I am fluent in english- I mean yeah, tagalog (filipino language) was actually my first language but I became much more fluent in english rather than my own native language, which I don't know the reason why either. I just grew up to be fluent in english more than in filipino, and it's a bit funny (for me) that I actually learned english from peppa pig rather than actually learning it in school-
I envy the people who were raised knowing more than one language. Learning a foreign one is an absolute pain, especially when you know literally nobody who can help you :( Also that "Nakakapagpabagabag" word. Ahaha I learned that one from the song-
I am glad that I am not the only one who is struggling with their native language as I can relate to this SO MUCH. For as long as I can remember, English was the first language I learnt because my aunt was the one who taught me. I guess she stopped teaching me English once I was like 3-5ish. But even when she doesn't teach me English anymore, I just learn it by watching cartoons that are in English. And because of this, my younger self basically had a hard time learning Filipino even when I am learning it at school and at home. Heck, I didn't even know what "Kaibigan" meant until I was in 2nd grade.
This is so cool! Growing up in a very strict mixed family, I mostly speak english because of the influence of my family. I'm half Chinese, half Portuguese, and half Filipino, so I'm more comfortable in speaking English and Spanish And I always remember whenever my brothers fight, they would say filipino cuss words and I would sometimes repeat them because I don't know what they mean, I asked my mom what they mean and she pretty much told me not to repeat what other people say without knowing what it means, I guess I learned something!
i can relate to this a bit, my first language wasn’t english, it was my native language ( malay ) but as i watch english shows like sesame street, i began to get interested in english more. More likely since im always on the english community in youtube. Next thing i know im not even familiar with half of the malay words.
I have a similar but not full on same story like this so I wanted to share my experience! My first language is Indonesian and I've been using it everyday of my life until when I was 2 years old. My dad was gonna work over sea in Australia so my family had to follow. We stayed there for 3 years and a few months and for all those years, my parents used English cause they thought it'll make it easier for me. To be honest, it did!... For those three years. We went back to my home country for another three years and left to Hong Kong! My English improved well and when we went back to my home country after another three years. I STRUGGLED! Indonesian was so hard to take in. I had to think for a few seconds to understand what the person said and to think of what I'm gonna say. I luckily got a bit better at speaking it and now I can say with complete truth, I am billingual :D (I still make mistakes but that's not important, hehe..) People also find it hard to believe that I'm pure Indonesian so I find that funny XD
We are the same on this one English is my first language, I learned it from my parents and cartoons and i learned filipino in school Problems with this are: • People assuming you are American • having problems talking to people who doesn't know English • reading something in tagalog • having a hard time understanding people who speaks tagalog • using Google translate from English to tagalog or vice versa • people saying you are giving them a nosebleed
Hey, English is also my first my first language, cuz my mom and her sisters watch a bunch of American movies and I basically took that accent and learned the English language. And I also relate that Filipino is hard, I remember forgot what "suklay" meant 💀 Nakakasalita pa naman ako ng Tagalog 👌
I can relate to this qwq. I can really remember how my parents let me learn english the first time, but I do remember them sending me and my brothers to a school where you only have to speak english. Now Im a Filipino who can barely understand my own native language 😥😅
I'm a pure filipino but my first language was english and my school encourages everyone to speak english at all times (except filipino classes) and there was one time during an exam I asked my teacher "What is bintana (window in english)?" because I am not used to reading lots of tagalog text and he just laughed at me because I was like 11-ish...
Even though I am pure Filipino and was born in the Philippines I never had the accent or was taught the language. My parents talk taglog (mix of English and Tagalog) most of the time so I can kind of understand them 🥲
I can't even speak straight Filipino anymore, the reason why I mostly speak English instead of our native language is because most of my friends are from foreign countries like from the U.S or the UK and I self taught myself to speak English by getting influenced by English cartoons back then and from then forward I tried upgrading my English speaking including the correct grammer in some cases
‘I don’t done talking okay? Shut down 🌚’ -Siege YT Siege: Mommy, I have a question Siege’s Mom: yes my child? Siege: What does ‘Pvt@ng1n@ Mo’ means? 👧🏻 Siege’s Mom: 😀..
I am a filipino too! My first language was Bisaya, I learned English and Tagalog at school. But to be honest, I am good at English than Tagalog. Sometimes, hirap mag tagalog dahil may times na mabulol ako hehe 😅 Btw, this is my first time commenting you Siege! I am fan of your content!!
I'm a filipino but the type of filipino who was born in western visayas, and I have to say that even do your first language was english you still have to learn and connect with your culture, I think my first language was english because my parents let me watch english cartoons and my parents sometimes speak english so I learned english naturally and I also learned Bisaya by my parents and the people around me, and more years of watching cartoons and movies I became fluent in english and a bit In Bisaya but Filipino not that much and everytime I read filipino I have a bisaya accent to it🥲
well, uh, a similar thing happened to me and my younger brother- we are Moldovan, but we live in Italy my parents decided to make Italian my first language, and that's okay, but then they thought I needed to know one of our native languages: Russian or Moldovan so they chose a Russian cartoon and by watching it for hours and days I started speaking Russian, then I started to understand Moldovan, but I was too shy to speak it, and now I understand it almost completely but I'm too shy because I'm always insecure about my pronunciation and it's hard for me since I wasn't taught its grammar, so it's funny that at home my parents tell me something in Moldovan and I reply in Russian now, after this poem, another poem about my brother my brother was named with a Slavic name and he instead was taught Russian firstly, he stayed ad home until he was 3, then the summer before going to kindergarten we thought "hey, we should start speaking Italian and show him Italian cartoons", but it didn't go well, he at once told us "stop speaking Italian!!! speak normally!!!", and he just like that went to kindergarten next year he's starting elementary school and he still has *a lot* of Russian accent-
Same goes for me, Siege. I was just 4 when I barely knew anything about Vietnamese and came across an English book. It got me hooked on it and that's why English is my first ever language. :))
My mom is a chemistry/biology and an agriculture professor in a college and of course, they all spoke English. But the reason I learned English wasn't because of my mom no no (well partially). It's because she enrolled me to a PRIVATE school and we had an American teacher. When I first went to grade 1 all my classmates were Ilocano but speaks in tagalog most of the time and kept on saying those bad words and accidentally said it in front of my mom while she was helping me with math homework. She lectured me for the whole night and I got a low score the following day. Up to this day I still suck at Filipino but I surprisingly have a lower grade at TLE than any other subjects with Filipino like AP, ESP, or Filipino in general. Anyways to anyone reading my comment hi :)
I first learned Ilocano because I was born in Buenlag, Tarlac but after 4 years we moved to Cavite and lived there until now.. I eventually forgot how to speak and understand Ilocano because we didn't use it as our communication language as soon as we moved in Cavite. We visit our grandparents every summer in Mindanao and me and my siblings learned how to speak Bisaya.. Then I eventually learned English and is now speaking Taglish because of going to a private school. When a subject is English, we should speak English only and when a subject is Filipino we are required to speak only Filipino even reading numbers.
@mable coble it's a Filipino word not Spanish 😁. Buenlag, Tarlac is a place/location here in the Philippines, while Mindanao is a province also located here in the Philippines. I don't really know how to speak English or if my grammar is correct but that is it- 😊
I have a similar story. I’m a Egyptian- American but I wasn’t able to even learn how to say thank you in Arabic. The only Arabic words I know are the ones that my mom scream while she’s in a call with my aunt lol
The first language I learned was french which made me really fluent in it so much that my 4th grade teacher was calling me Dictionary as I knew all meanings of the words she used to ask us and that she used to tell not to raise my hand cause she knew I had the correct answer so I let others participate too but right now I'm more fluent in English as I watch more English video and watch anime with English subtitles 😅
Honestly I had the same experience, I was taught English from am early age and never got to learn my native languages, so I tend to feel left out at family gatherings due to the fact I don't understand them, and they'd tell jokes and everyone would be laughing their asses off then you get me😐, it's awful and there aren't really courses for my language do I don't really have and opportunity to learn...
Even if I am not from Philippines myself, but as someone who speaks english as her first language even as an Indonesian, I could relate it a lot. I remember I was at kindergarten and first of all, it was not an english speaking school and all of the children are speaking Indonesia, while me here just being the "bule" I am (It's just a phrase where most Indonesians refer to people outside, most of them would refer to americans) the parents thought I was born in America or England even though my face was already known that I was born in Indonesia. When I try to speak Indonesia, don't worry it's improving (I think??), the way how I sound really sounds like someone from another country who just learn Indonesia. And believe me, I'm not confident to ask someone in Indoensia because I know, that it will sound horrible. Tbh, back then when I was still a baby, my mom was like watching someone and then was like "oh, I wish this child could be good at english" and then God just replied "here you go" And this point, idek how did I make friends at kindergarten (I have one best friend and probably because of me, she can speak english, for some reason)
As a Filipino with English as my first language, I can relate to going "What does ____ mean?" And they just go "YoUlL fInD oUt EvEnTuAlLy" [Still love you mother and father
My whole life i was ashamed that i could only speak english and not filipino, because they always told me "if you can't speak your own language your dumb as a fish" this whole comment section makes me proud :D
I very much relate to this. My mom wants me to learn tagalog but I only know bisaya and english because my native language here is bisaya and I learned english through school and the internet.
Oh, your Filipino too? That's a relief. I have never run into someone who was Filipino but had English as their first language and also doesn't know how to speak the Filipino.(Except my brother.) I'm like, part Indonesian, part Spanish, part Filipino or something, but yeah. I am also a Filipino who also doesn't know how to speak Filipino but can force myself to use the "Filipino" accent. But I am wondering, can you speak Filipino now?? Because I can't.😕
My first language was also English. I wasn’t aloud to speak in my native language. Yes I’m definitely passing my classes and I definitely understand Filipino🥲
This is me😂 i learned english too at first bcs of my parents and now sometimes im having a hard time speaking my own language and yes most people call me " englishera " bcs i speak english most of the time :')
My first language was Ukrainian, but when I was small I was talking Russian too, cause it's really similar to Ukrainian. From an early age I'm also studying English, so now I can speak three languages.
Yes! Im a Malayali and yes I learned english as my first language and Heck! Seige you guessed it My mom Used to have the Job once! AND to my mother's absolute surprise at 5 years old I would Speak English and write storys. Now I'm Learning my own Language... Yes I'm Super bad at Reading it. But Look on the bright side at least you get flex your english at The ENGLISH CLASS! Like I can go- "Prithe and well met Thou Tempestuous To alight thee' Thou shalt notice that Im Well versed in Literature, I Awaited your Arrival." 😏✨
When I was little kid my mother taught me to use cantonese, I studied Hokkien and Indonesian at school when I was in school. Btw I'm Indonesian but many people think I'm Chinese and Japanese. Because of that, I always ask if my face doesn't look like an Indonesian ¯\_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯
as a ilocano person, i can mostly relate this since also ilocano was my first language and somehow everyone taught me how to speak tagalog and English 💀🙏
Oof same Siege, English and chavacano is also my first language since I'm also a Filipino, but one thing I have a little problem is that I barely talk Filipino but I'm still learning it without making wrong grammar T-T Edit: also at the end, I understand what she said but it's a bad word if you know
I’m also Filipino and English was also my first language because when I was younger my parents were speaking English to me so I kinda learnt it from them
I'm a pure Indonesian, but my first language is english- I struggle with my own native language and sometimes I'm ashamed but at the same time It's funny when someone goes "YOU'RE INDONESIAN!?!-"
My mom taught me more English than Tagalog when I was younger. She would let me watch English cartoons and Children's Music Videos-- The time I went to preschool, I didn't understand a thing my classmates said. Later on, I learned to speak Tagalog. I now speak more Tagalog than English but I still use English when online like what I'm doing right now. :DD
Bruh that ending tho. And yes I knew that Ate Siege is a filipina for a long time now.. glad to see that there are also talented Filipino Gachatubers! 😄
I'm algerian and I lived my whole life in the Kabylie region where people speak both Arabic and Amazigh, but my first language was actually FRENCH. I got a lot of problem to communicate with other kids back in my elementary school days, but now I'm speaking 4 language. Wallah I thought I was the only one who dealed with this kind of issue 🤣 Glad to see I'm not alone ❤️
When I was a child I would speak English all the time, prob cause it's the only language that I knew at that time. But when I went to another city I made friends that only knew a bit of english and so when I would start speaking these extraordinary terms they were like, "you know what bish we headin' out". And I was crying and crying and then I begged my parents to teach me filipino. So now I also know bisaya, so I can speak, filipino, English, and bisaya✨✨✨✨✨✨
I also technically speak English as main language even tho I learned it later (due to the fact that I’m at English internet all time) but I considered it as secondary language, my “considered” main language is Thai due to majority of people I met spoken Thai, right now I’m learning German as third language.
At least you managed to learn filipino in school :') I'm a pure Filipino who's first language is english too but somehow when I tried to learn Tagalog/Bisaya at school it always leaves my brain 😭😭😭😭 I'm now in a different country that speaks English but sometimes I wish I could have at least a small convo in filipino (luckily i can slightly understand tagalog XD)
This is so relatable for me. I’m an Indian, but ever since I was born, I was made to learn English and exposed to English media. The good thing was that I became fluent in English, but I didn’t know Hindi or my mother tongue. And obviously I didn’t know what Hindi swear words were (I know them now though…) Edit: Wow, didn't expect this to get a heart.
When I was a little kid I spoke my native language VERY fluently and it was impressive considering my age too (I was young, obviously) but after I went to school, I learned English and spoke English until now and forgot how to do my native language accent and speak words (with an accent it'll sound really weird and words will be mistaken) so it's pain not knowing how to say ANYTHING. I can still understand some words but other than that: I CAN'T SPEAK MY NATIVE LANGUAGE AT ALL-
Same 💀 English is my first language and I cannot speak Tagalog or bisaya at all 😅 reason for this was because I was born abroad 🧍 Also you should make some videos like this! I really like your way of storytelling but no need to be pressured!
Me it's different. Since i have autism i pronounce word with a accent i shouldn't even have. When i speak french people think that i'm from France and when i speak english people think that i'm forcing an accent (i'm from Quebec soo we learn both of french and english but no one has a french accent)
When I was younger I didn't speak English at all I always spoke in Tagalog but when I grew up I started watching youtubers that speak English and since I almost like watch TH-cam 24/7 the more I watch youtubers that speak English the more I can't understand Tagalog I don't even know what's Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday in Tagalog
Even English was my first language instead of Malay XD But I has horrible at spelling in both languages and good at speaking them thanks to my mom who tried teaching me British English but instead I learnt American English, and thanks to my habit of reading books too much :)
Whatever you do… don’t ask what that filipino cuss word means :))
And if you know it, don’t spread it :))
Wish my classmates didn't say that word in my face when I was just freaking 6 :'>
Okeh

I can't even speak straight Filipino anymore, the reason why I mostly speak English instead of our native language is because most of my friends are from foreign countries like from the U.S or the UK and I self taught myself to speak English by getting influenced by English cartoons back then and from then forward I tried upgrading my English speaking including the correct grammer in some cases
The language my parents first spoke to me and tried to teach me was Tagalog. But apparently I was a Peppa Pig fan which made me an Englishera 💀👌
‘I don’t done talking okay? Shut down 🌚’
-Siege YT
Siege: Mommy, I have a question
Siege’s Mom: yes my child?
Siege: What does ‘Pvt@ng1n@ Mo’ means? 👧🏻
Siege’s Mom: 😀..
this makes me feel better for having english as my first language too
i struggle with my native language 😭😭
I’m literally rolling on the ground when you went “Big mistake”
Okay okay wait what- THE GREAT SIEGE YT HEARTED MY COMMENT?
THE ENDING XD
And the "When I just popped out of the world being the happy accident I am." GOT ME LMAO SDNFWNFOWA
I always enjoy watching her videos
And i also laughed at rosyclozy’s meme XD
I am a filipino too!
My first language was Bisaya, I learned English and Tagalog at school. But to be honest, I am good at English than Tagalog.
Sometimes, hirap mag tagalog dahil may times na mabulol ako hehe 😅
Btw, this is my first time commenting you Siege! I am fan of your content!!
I'm a filipino but the type of filipino who was born in western visayas, and I have to say that even do your first language was english you still have to learn and connect with your culture, I think my first language was english because my parents let me watch english cartoons and my parents sometimes speak english so I learned english naturally and I also learned Bisaya by my parents and the people around me, and more years of watching cartoons and movies I became fluent in english and a bit In Bisaya but Filipino not that much and everytime I read filipino I have a bisaya accent to it🥲
"I dONt DonE tALkinG oKaY sHUt DowN" ahh yes these iconic lines👌
well, uh, a similar thing happened to me and my younger brother-
we are Moldovan, but we live in Italy
my parents decided to make Italian my first language, and that's okay, but then they thought I needed to know one of our native languages: Russian or Moldovan
so they chose a Russian cartoon and by watching it for hours and days I started speaking Russian, then I started to understand Moldovan, but I was too shy to speak it, and now I understand it almost completely but I'm too shy because I'm always insecure about my pronunciation and it's hard for me since I wasn't taught its grammar, so it's funny that at home my parents tell me something in Moldovan and I reply in Russian
now, after this poem, another poem about my brother
my brother was named with a Slavic name and he instead was taught Russian firstly, he stayed ad home until he was 3, then the summer before going to kindergarten we thought "hey, we should start speaking Italian and show him Italian cartoons", but it didn't go well, he at once told us "stop speaking Italian!!! speak normally!!!", and he just like that went to kindergarten
next year he's starting elementary school and he still has *a lot* of Russian accent-
Same goes for me, Siege. I was just 4 when I barely knew anything about Vietnamese and came across an English book. It got me hooked on it and that's why English is my first ever language. :))
Filipinos would be flooding the comment section later lol
My mom is a chemistry/biology and an agriculture professor in a college and of course, they all spoke English. But the reason I learned English wasn't because of my mom no no (well partially). It's because she enrolled me to a PRIVATE school and we had an American teacher. When I first went to grade 1 all my classmates were Ilocano but speaks in tagalog most of the time and kept on saying those bad words and accidentally said it in front of my mom while she was helping me with math homework. She lectured me for the whole night and I got a low score the following day. Up to this day I still suck at Filipino but I surprisingly have a lower grade at TLE than any other subjects with Filipino like AP, ESP, or Filipino in general.
Anyways to anyone reading my comment hi :)
I first learned Ilocano because I was born in Buenlag, Tarlac but after 4 years we moved to Cavite and lived there until now.. I eventually forgot how to speak and understand Ilocano because we didn't use it as our communication language as soon as we moved in Cavite. We visit our grandparents every summer in Mindanao and me and my siblings learned how to speak Bisaya.. Then I eventually learned English and is now speaking Taglish because of going to a private school. When a subject is English, we should speak English only and when a subject is Filipino we are required to speak only Filipino even reading numbers.
@mable coble it's a Filipino word not Spanish 😁. Buenlag, Tarlac is a place/location here in the Philippines, while Mindanao is a province also located here in the Philippines. I don't really know how to speak English or if my grammar is correct but that is it- 😊
@mable coble oh and Cavite is- idk what it's called uhm, I don't know how to explain it but it's just like the others 😅
“I don’t done talking SHUT DOWN.”
HAHAHAH CLASSIC SIEGE
I have a similar story. I’m a Egyptian- American but I wasn’t able to even learn how to say thank you in Arabic. The only Arabic words I know are the ones that my mom scream while she’s in a call with my aunt lol
"What does poh tounge ina moh mean?"
I died of laughing 😭😂😂
The first language I learned was french which made me really fluent in it so much that my 4th grade teacher was calling me Dictionary as I knew all meanings of the words she used to ask us and that she used to tell not to raise my hand cause she knew I had the correct answer so I let others participate too but right now I'm more fluent in English as I watch more English video and watch anime with English subtitles 😅
"I made a mistake"
Uh- ur classmates are in for a beating-
Honestly I had the same experience, I was taught English from am early age and never got to learn my native languages, so I tend to feel left out at family gatherings due to the fact I don't understand them, and they'd tell jokes and everyone would be laughing their asses off then you get me😐, it's awful and there aren't really courses for my language do I don't really have and opportunity to learn...
"so when i just popped up into the world,"
*"being the happy accident i am"*
I WAS CRYING ON THE FLOORR
I just learned English from school. My first language is Filipino same goes to my older brother. I'm a Filipino too
Even if I am not from Philippines myself, but as someone who speaks english as her first language even as an Indonesian, I could relate it a lot. I remember I was at kindergarten and first of all, it was not an english speaking school and all of the children are speaking Indonesia, while me here just being the "bule" I am (It's just a phrase where most Indonesians refer to people outside, most of them would refer to americans) the parents thought I was born in America or England even though my face was already known that I was born in Indonesia.
When I try to speak Indonesia, don't worry it's improving (I think??), the way how I sound really sounds like someone from another country who just learn Indonesia.
And believe me, I'm not confident to ask someone in Indoensia because I know, that it will sound horrible.
Tbh, back then when I was still a baby, my mom was like watching someone and then was like "oh, I wish this child could be good at english" and then God just replied "here you go"
And this point, idek how did I make friends at kindergarten (I have one best friend and probably because of me, she can speak english, for some reason)
As a Filipino with English as my first language, I can relate to going "What does ____ mean?" And they just go "YoUlL fInD oUt EvEnTuAlLy"
[Still love you mother and father
Lol, that happened to me too
My whole life i was ashamed that i could only speak english and not filipino, because they always told me "if you can't speak your own language your dumb as a fish" this whole comment section makes me proud :D
0:45 baby siege won't hurt you she is not real
Baby siege : 0:47
Note: siege you're not an accident :((
THE FACT THAT THIS IS SO ACCURATE 😭😭😭😭😭
I very much relate to this. My mom wants me to learn tagalog but I only know bisaya and english because my native language here is bisaya and I learned english through school and the internet.
Oh, your Filipino too? That's a relief. I have never run into someone who was Filipino but had English as their first language and also doesn't know how to speak the Filipino.(Except my brother.) I'm like, part Indonesian, part Spanish, part Filipino or something, but yeah. I am also a Filipino who also doesn't know how to speak Filipino but can force myself to use the "Filipino" accent. But I am wondering, can you speak Filipino now?? Because I can't.😕
My first language was also English. I wasn’t aloud to speak in my native language. Yes I’m definitely passing my classes and I definitely understand Filipino🥲
This is me😂
i learned english too at first bcs of my parents and now sometimes im having a hard time speaking my own language
and yes most people call me " englishera " bcs i speak english most of the time :')
My first language was Ukrainian, but when I was small I was talking Russian too, cause it's really similar to Ukrainian. From an early age I'm also studying English, so now I can speak three languages.
Yes! Im a Malayali and yes I learned english as my first language and Heck! Seige you guessed it My mom Used to have the Job once! AND to my mother's absolute surprise at 5 years old I would Speak English and write storys. Now I'm Learning my own Language... Yes I'm Super bad at Reading it. But Look on the bright side at least you get flex your english at The ENGLISH CLASS! Like I can go-
"Prithe and well met Thou Tempestuous To alight thee' Thou shalt notice that Im Well versed in Literature, I Awaited your Arrival." 😏✨
When I was little kid my mother taught me to use cantonese, I studied Hokkien and Indonesian at school when I was in school. Btw I'm Indonesian but many people think I'm Chinese and Japanese. Because of that, I always ask if my face doesn't look like an Indonesian
¯\_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯
Español: Te quedo increíble UwU 💕👍
English: You look amazing UwU 💕👍
The fact you accidentally asked what a cuss word was 😭…
Now I'm even more interested in ur cintent with these type of videos owo
i don’t even know filipino swears
Same i am a pure filipia too!

Ahhh me too.
I'm from Indonesia but my first language is English, I was enrolled to an international school, which honestly pretty expensive
Woahh👀✨✨
I’m from Philippines too, but I learned English first 🇵🇭
So you speak english with ur fam?😳
@@Aiikunz_Ainul Well mostly with my dad and brother, my mom doesn't really know English
NYAHAHHAH when she said "Shut down" I was laughing so much
as a ilocano person, i can mostly relate this since also ilocano was my first language and somehow everyone taught me how to speak tagalog and English 💀🙏
My first language was my native language but now, for some random reason, I'm better at English than I am in my native language
WOAH, that was so cool! I love your content Siege keep up the amazing work! 😁💙💜
Oof same Siege, English and chavacano is also my first language since I'm also a Filipino, but one thing I have a little problem is that I barely talk Filipino but I'm still learning it without making wrong grammar T-T
Edit: also at the end, I understand what she said but it's a bad word if you know
I’m also Filipino and English was also my first language because when I was younger my parents were speaking English to me so I kinda learnt it from them
I'm a pure Indonesian, but my first language is english- I struggle with my own native language and sometimes I'm ashamed but at the same time It's funny when someone goes "YOU'RE INDONESIAN!?!-"
That cursed word do be used a lot 😭👈
My mom taught me more English than Tagalog when I was younger. She would let me watch English cartoons and Children's Music Videos--
The time I went to preschool, I didn't understand a thing my classmates said.
Later on, I learned to speak Tagalog. I now speak more Tagalog than English but I still use English when online like what I'm doing right now. :DD
Bruh that ending tho.
And yes I knew that Ate Siege is a filipina for a long time now.. glad to see that there are also talented Filipino Gachatubers! 😄
I'm algerian and I lived my whole life in the Kabylie region where people speak both Arabic and Amazigh, but my first language was actually FRENCH.
I got a lot of problem to communicate with other kids back in my elementary school days, but now I'm speaking 4 language.
Wallah I thought I was the only one who dealed with this kind of issue 🤣
Glad to see I'm not alone ❤️
Very relatable! I’m French Canadian but I mostly speak English.
**sad 🇨🇦 noises**
I’m Filipino Californian since I was from San Francisco so I had the American Accent Version as I’ve normally talk
When I was a child I would speak English all the time, prob cause it's the only language that I knew at that time. But when I went to another city I made friends that only knew a bit of english and so when I would start speaking these extraordinary terms they were like, "you know what bish we headin' out". And I was crying and crying and then I begged my parents to teach me filipino. So now I also know bisaya, so I can speak, filipino, English, and bisaya✨✨✨✨✨✨
I dont done talking okay, shut down
Definitely my fav line
No one: Siege telling a normal story..
The video playing a funny story 😭
I also technically speak English as main language even tho I learned it later (due to the fact that I’m at English internet all time) but I considered it as secondary language, my “considered” main language is Thai due to majority of people I met spoken Thai, right now I’m learning German as third language.
At least you managed to learn filipino in school :') I'm a pure Filipino who's first language is english too but somehow when I tried to learn Tagalog/Bisaya at school it always leaves my brain 😭😭😭😭
I'm now in a different country that speaks English but sometimes I wish I could have at least a small convo in filipino (luckily i can slightly understand tagalog XD)
This is so relatable for me. I’m an Indian, but ever since I was born, I was made to learn English and exposed to English media. The good thing was that I became fluent in English, but I didn’t know Hindi or my mother tongue. And obviously I didn’t know what Hindi swear words were (I know them now though…)
Edit: Wow, didn't expect this to get a heart.
When I was a little kid I spoke my native language VERY fluently and it was impressive considering my age too (I was young, obviously) but after I went to school, I learned English and spoke English until now and forgot how to do my native language accent and speak words (with an accent it'll sound really weird and words will be mistaken) so it's pain not knowing how to say ANYTHING. I can still understand some words but other than that: I CAN'T SPEAK MY NATIVE LANGUAGE AT ALL-
Same 💀
English is my first language and I cannot speak Tagalog or bisaya at all 😅 reason for this was because I was born abroad 🧍
Also you should make some videos like this! I really like your way of storytelling but no need to be pressured!
Me it's different. Since i have autism i pronounce word with a accent i shouldn't even have. When i speak french people think that i'm from France and when i speak english people think that i'm forcing an accent (i'm from Quebec soo we learn both of french and english but no one has a french accent)
Why is this the most relatable video I ever watched
THE NOSE BLEEDING PART IS SO TRUE 😭
When I was younger I didn't speak English at all I always spoke in Tagalog but when I grew up I started watching youtubers that speak English and since I almost like watch TH-cam 24/7 the more I watch youtubers that speak English the more I can't understand Tagalog I don't even know what's Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday in Tagalog
Even English was my first language instead of Malay XD
But I has horrible at spelling in both languages and good at speaking them thanks to my mom who tried teaching me British English but instead I learnt American English, and thanks to my habit of reading books too much :)
LMAOO U MADE A CHESY ARTS JOKE IN THE BEGINNING "I DONT DONE TALKING SHUT DOWN"😭😭😭😭😭
