  • People on the street had a seizure when they suddenly heard me speak their language. I went to Taiwan and talked to people on the streets in different Asian languages and you won't believe this actually happened.

    I know everyone wants to do everything on their own with no help, but it won't work well with learning Asian languages. If I only self-studied, I wouldn't even be half as good as I am today. Start taking this seriously with a tutor and learn to read and write here:

    I love these. I went to a "Chinese" restaurant in rural US with a friend who lived in China for many years. She spoke to the hostess and then switched to that young woman's dialect and she burst into tears hearing her own language for many years. It means so much when we make the effort.

    My wife was born in the Philippines. She had a filipina friend who was married to a Japanese guy that was temporarily working at a car parts plant here in the USA. One day we were helping them move and her friend was spinning in circles talking to her husband in japanese, my wife in tagalog and me in english. I was just in awe that she could do that. I really envy people like this that can speak multiple languages. Very impressive! Congratulations on your hard work.

      Yes but not because of the Japanese language initially, it was because a foreigner woman spoke to her husband, all kinds of scenarios were going through her head, and Japanese people are very "introverted" so being approached like that was shocking initially... after that, yes, she was also in shock because she spoke both JPN and CN.

    • @marilouba
      @marilouba 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      When you're learning languages, your brain starts making connections between them. The first extra language you learn is a bit more difficult than the subsequent languages, because technically you have to "rewire" your brain into it. But after that it becomes a bit easier. Of course it's easier learning related languages, so if for example you learn spanish, it'll be a piece of cake to learn italian/portuguese/romanian/french etc. If you learn a germanic language, like swedish for example, you'll easily jump to danish/norwegian/dutch afterwards. There is a challenge learning a language that is completely unrelated to the ones you speak, but then you just do a bit of rewiring again. I have only taken japanese lessons a few years ago, and it didn't seem that difficult. What was difficult with it, is that I had to shake off the mentality of other languages. Like, in my native language, there are tenses for almost every single moment in time that you might be talking about, while in japanese they only have 2 tenses, and their continuous forms. It was hard to get my mind around the fact that I don't have to be too specific. Once you get that mentality working though, it becomes easier. Writing was a bitch, but oh well ;)
      Polyglots don't have super powers, they have discipline, curiosity and determination. Everyone can do it, at their own pace. Don't get discouraged about learning a new language, it's always very rewarding when you get to use it - even if it is to shock the people around you :P

    It's a great feeling to meet one of the few people who bothered to learn your language, especialy when it's so different from your own. My first language is Dutch (also a Germanic language like English, so not *that* hard to learn for a lot of people) and will always compliment the ones who took the effort to learn even the basics of our language, it's a great sign of respect.
    I have no idea what kind of accent you have in Mandarin, but to me it sounds fairly fluent. Very impressive. (I gave up on Cantonese after a year... but perhaps by watching a bunch of your video's I may get motivated to pick it up again!) 🙂🙃

      @@stevenhull5025 I've lost at least 3 channels in the last 6 months that just stopped making content without warning.. Pearl is actually the most transparent youtuber i've seen when I did a binge watch of her videos when i became fan earlier last year (i think) and she actually explained how the revenue works - this is why so many YTubers are doing patreon or doing the donate buttons nowadays. She is in no way hitting those numbers and that was when she was doing the "its so shocking" videos, and had more viewers. Most ppl hate YT and use Ad Blockers and some of us have subscriptions. The only reason I started subscribing to channels and making sure i watched an entire YT all the way through was because Pearl explained the ins/outs on one of her vids. TH-cam doesnt pay if the entire vid isnt watched; or sometimes if an ad is skipped; or if the people watch but aren't subscribed; you get a diff amt if your watch number vs subscribed and watched ratio is different;-- BASICALLY anything for google to not pay. I rarely donate, but I've done it like 4 or 5 times in the last 2 yrs after noticing my faves have less content or not coming back at all. (and even when one of my favorite TH-camrs was getting 3 mill views 8 yrs ago, he would show his check, it was only about 1400-2000)

    I Love everything about you 🤩🤩 I spent 7 months in Saint Petersburg Russia studying Russian language at Cmolny institute . that was back in 2006 . now I don't speak it very well because no one to speak with in my town lol I LOVE watching your videos!! You amaze me how you make every language you speak seem so effortless 🤩 Thank you for sharing 🧡
