"When you speak to someone in a language he knows, that goes to his head, When you speak to someone in his language, that goes to his heart" - Nelson Mandela
That isn't what he said. He said; Because when you speak a language, English, well many people understand you, including Afrikaners, but when you speak Afrikaans, you know you go straight to their hearts. That's his real quote
Stuff like this is the real reason to learn other languages. Not to be a superspy and listen in on foreign conversations, but to connect with people from different cultures on a level you can only get from their native language. People get so happy when you speak to them in their language in a country where they probably get little chance to use it.

Fire and Brimstone with true end of the world apocalyptic catastrophes and the return of Christ... Lets go !!!! :D being silly .. yes i agree it is intimate in a way to learn another cultures language. It allows a certain connection that can bring people closer.
If Jim Carrey was playing in a korean comedy movie, he'd still be acting with facial expressions a lot, you can tell from this scene a little bit, but if he was truly serious in his comedy style, he would play with the range of korean sounds and intonations more

Interesting - I was wondering since I don't speak Korean at all what actual Koreans thought about it - I've learned Chinese for years and I can tell that a lot of hollywood movies where the actors "speak Chinese" it's really horrible and sometimes (like in the show 'Firefly') you can barely if at all understand a single thing they are trying to say it's that bad - I wonder though, is it the same with Korean where Korean speakers will compliment a foreigner's Korean skills even if you are being totally honest they're not very good compared to a native speaker? Because with Chinese it is like that - take Mark Zuckerberg. There's a video of him "speaking fluent Chinese" on youtube and his Chinese is really, really bad - but native speakers always compliment it just because at least he's trying to learn it and speak it - I feel like Chinese speakers are way too nice about it and need to be more honest with it. My wife is at least more honest (she is Chinese) but even she is nicer about it than I would be if someone were claiming to speak my language (Estonian) "fluently" when it was very poor in reality!
I love how at the end Carey's character replied in Korean before catching himself and replying in English. It's such a common occurrence when code-switching and funnily relatable.
One time, in college, we were doing a thing for a class and they specifically told us not to speak in English and just use our mother tongue because we were being recorded and the video was going to be shown to beginners. All of our classes were in English tho, because we were learning the language to become ESL teachers and we were in advanced classes already, so we were used to communicate mostly in English. When it was my turn to speak, I said everything I had to say in English without realizing what I was doing and when I finished, everyone was looking at me like I was from Mars. It took me a whole 30 seconds to realize what I had done. I freaking ruined the recording lol
Once i accompanied guest from US. We were talking in english until someone shouted racial slur to him. I profusely apologised to him in bahasa. In my panic state, I forgot to speak english.
I speak several languages fluently and usually you catch yourself way earlier. Often before you utter the 1st or 2nd word of the wrong language. But it does happen frequently, if you use different languages with different friends.
The PaperCut Survivor Sounds bit awkward in pronunciation but his intonation sounds pretty natural. He must have put a lot of effort on practicing those lines. Especially when he said “let’s get on the same team here”, i almost thought he is Korean!
desolationrow they don't sound similar at all to me, but everyone I know asks me if I'm listening to something in Chinese when it's always in Japanese. I guess that a lot of people just say "Chinese" when they hear something Asian, I don't understand how you'd mix up Mandarin with Japanese though, they don't sound alike in any way.

As a Korean, I feel his pronunciation really funny but so good despite learning to speak Korean first for a short time. He said that it was painful for his coach to teach him how to speak Korean in his interview. I was impressed that she speaks Korean fluently as well maybe she might be Korean and he also speaks well ....good luck 짐캐리의 웃긴 장면 That's so bad when I saw some people in comments said his accent so bad or sucks but I really appreciate for him to take his valuable time to learn to use Korean a little bit.
i love how everyone in the comment section is a korean or a self proclaimed korean speaking expert lol but seriously everyone butchers a language they're trying to learn and Carey probably only memorized the lines necessary and had a limited amount of time to get his lines right more respect to him for doing as well as he did
I’m of Korean decent. The brutally honest answer is that Koreans are *institutionally* racist. Just look up what our pledge of allegiance was until 2007. Only the younger Koreans have a welcoming attitude of people trying to learn our language and culture, no matter their skill level.
yo this is recommended more to Koreans so korean ratio in the comment section is way higher than normal dood you gotta widen your mind before you go full deep on sarcastic mode "everyone is korean" lol when a nitwit thinks hes edgy, your comment happens lol
@@halfrightface Ive been all over the world, and Koreans are the most anal retentive people regarding the correct pronunciation of their language. If it's not perfect, they will look at you like you have a dick growing out of your forehead.
In Hollywood there are dialog coaches that help actors speak foreign lines. Usually it's only 1 or 2 sentences but Carrey speaks a lot of lines here. They're all memorized. Anyway the dialog coach may have been a Japanese who spoke Korean as a second language. The movie business is very sloppy in this regard. I speak Russian and French and I have never understood American actors speaking those languages in movies (unless they use native speakers)
+olgasM3 Have you seen Captain America 2? There was the scene at the beginning where Captain America speaks with a French guy. I laughed so hard when I heard that the accent was definitely from Quebec. I'm from Quebec, but they tried to sell a villain from France as a Quebecker. Actually, the whole cinema erupted in laughter. :)
Yeaaa I speak Korean, but I cannot understand him. Having just visited Japan I really feel like he's confused the sounds of Korean with Japanese. haha.
He was awesome in that movie...and yes he will speak Korean with an accent. He just learned the language, for god's sake. That's how normal people who learns any new language speak. The learned language, but their own speaking manner. That's the way that character should speak. If he was speaking the language with so much proficiency with just that short a time, that's when you know the character portrayal is done wrong...!! Gosh !! What's wrong with people??
I think it's just jarring to hear such advanced syntax in a beginner's accent. Generally, if you get far enough to converse like that, you also learn along the way how to shape your mouth to form the words more naturally. It really doesn't feel like a failure on his part, but on the part of the language coach and the creative team. There didn't have to be a disconnect there, but there was, and that's why we're all here talking about it. I really enjoyed this movie and this scene, but I think there was some untapped potential for an even smoother portrayal there.
i'm half korean and understood about 80% of what he said. i had to rewatch a few times to understand what he said. but that doesn't take away from jim carrey's effort to understand and speak the language back earnestly. big respect. :)
This is really impressive! He did a good job! Not only that, but he even acted in the language expressively, like how he said that "your time will definitely come" and "she really hates my guts." I'm also very impressed by how well he got the 어 and 으 vowels, those took me a very long time. English does not have vowels like those. And that he said "hwaiting" with a great Korean accent, instead of a very English "fighting!" I think he should be proud, he did a great job.
Why no one talking about how a Korean drama vibe was developing between Jim and that Lady when Jim started talking in Korean I was LoL d at that scene btw thanks👍
I’m a native Korean speaker and from what I saw in interviews, he actually went and got a tutor to learn Korean for these scenes. It wasn’t just him reading phonetic sounds off a script, those few lines in Korean are actually digested by Carrey. You can see that he understands the construct of the language by listening to where he breaks the words and sentences. Instead of saying, “Ia m ad og”, he knows to break it up into, “I am a dog.”
My Job Is Needed Hwaiting is the English word fighting but sometimes said phonetically as Hwaiting or Paiting. You can look up " Korean Fighting" on google if you want to learn more from a sites that know more than me.
I've been studying Korean for 4 years, still not good enough at it to have a conversation with a native speaker... but, after seeing this... I guess I'll keep working...
@@YustinJ420 the way he pronounced the words sound more Japanese. Yes the words themselves are Korean but the way he was speaking, where he put the accent in the words isn't typical Korean, it did sound more like Japanese.
That’s odd, because I lived in Japan for 5-years and I don’t hear a true Japanese accent at all. In fact, if I heard this over the telephone I would just think that some White guy was trying to speak to me in Korean.
Jim actually did a phenomenal job with all things considered. Consdiering the fact that English is characteristically drastically different from Korean. Jim did a great job.
I don't know much Korean, but his intonations make it sound more like he's speaking Japanese than Korean. But still, I can tell he did put in a lot of effort as always.
Everyone arguing about accents and all, but nobody mentions how beautiful and sad this scene is. The acting from both Jim and the Korean lady was great and the dialogue was well written and relatable. I like this scene.
He sang a song to the dude trying to jump, and pulled him back when he least expected it and Jim ended it with a Beatles reference, "I got blisters on me fingers"
I'm intermediate in korean and actually he did pretty good. Like he messed up a few syllables but i could still make out what hes trying to say. I was also impressed by how good he got the eaiser words. He sounded pretty good towards the end too. 너무 멋져서! 화이팅, 짐 캐리!
I love how he got stuck in Korean at the end. 😂 So true of multi lingual people. Sometimes we need to nudge our brain to skip the other language lane. Lol.
After so many dramas...I can finally understand most of these. After a these years. Lel. I can finally appreciate Jim Carrey's efforts here. It's actually good for when this movie was made.
The movie situation is in Korea. Most likely people around him speak Korean. Storyline, plot and setting. I probably will talk excitedly with Koreaboos or whatsoever is their name. The best way to learn a language is by using it. Well at least you will be able to know if someone is swearing at you in different language. Plus, I don't understand why people love to put labels on everything. Poor world, no hopes when people are laughing at others, meanwhile they miss a chance to see how ridiculous they are for others too. Sad people.
@@namjoonismine5865 no, I get it and I appreciate your post!! I only meant as a joke because I've seen those compilations where a girl made a video that pretends to talk to an english friend and keeps "accidentally" speaking Korean
This happens to everyone who speaks more than one language anyway. If I am speaking or writing with someone in X language and then I speak to another person in a second language, I sometimes first talk to that other person in the language I was speaking with the first person until I quickly realize.
I don't think I've seen any Hollywood actor speak a longer line in Korean with the camera in their face. Jim did an excellent job with in this scene. Jim is a perfectionist and did the whole scene on one continuous take. He did have the option of cutting in half, but he refused. The dialog was also changed numerous times but he rocked it. Yes, his pronunciation wasn't perfect. Although I can read, write and even speak Greek, Hebrew and German and am fluent in Korean and English, my pronunciation is not perfect when I speak German. I'm so proud of Jim for taking on this challenge.
That was cute.💕 communication is always the best door to a persons motivations. Action is the key that gets the tumblers of a minds awareness turning! 🙂
It can be a hell of a culture shock when someone finds out you speak their native tongue, but it tends to put a smile on people's faces when they least expect it. It shows you care about other cultures and are willing to adapt and learn.
As a westerner, his accent is pretty okay. English doesn't have a lot of "sounds" that asian languages have, so it gets difficult for westerners to even pronounce it... He is doing so great. I wanna be this fluent with japanese someday
I loved that last line, made me laugh so hard. It happened to me a couple of times (once someone was translating for me and once I was the one translating). You just repeat in the original language and it takes you a minute to remember you were supposed to translate it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a Korean, I feel his pronunciation really funny but so good despite learning to speak Korean first for a short time. He said that it was painful for his coach to teach him how to speak Korean in his interview. I was impressed that she speaks Korean fluently as well maybe she might be Korean and he also speaks well ....good luck 짐캐리의 웃긴 장면
That's so bad when I saw some people in comments said his accent so bad or sucks but I really appreciate for him to take his valuable time to learn to use Korean a little bit.
she is Korean so yeah...

Honestly, he did really well. He started really well but his lines were really complicated but he did better than I thought.
real water bender
th-cam.com/video/wtbcaWnybzs/w-d-xo.html ,
I'm a Korean and I approve of his accent.
He is the best.
like one ever was! **dun dun dun dun** to learn korean is his test! to speak it is his cause!
I have found you once again
whaaaa-
you're here too!?!?!?!?!?
I see you EVERYWHERE RAY MAK!😭
ray go outside
i love how everyone in the comment section is a korean or a self proclaimed korean speaking expert lol but seriously everyone butchers a language they're trying to learn and Carey probably only memorized the lines necessary and had a limited amount of time to get his lines right more respect to him for doing as well as he did
When the title says "Korean" there will obviously be koreans in the comment section. Use your head.
I’m of Korean decent. The brutally honest answer is that Koreans are *institutionally* racist. Just look up what our pledge of allegiance was until 2007. Only the younger Koreans have a welcoming attitude of people trying to learn our language and culture, no matter their skill level.
yo this is recommended more to Koreans so korean ratio in the comment section is way higher than normal
dood you gotta widen your mind before you go full deep on sarcastic mode "everyone is korean" lol
when a nitwit thinks hes edgy, your comment happens lol
Strange how in all languages except english you're expected to put on an accent.
@@halfrightface Ive been all over the world, and Koreans are the most anal retentive people regarding the correct pronunciation of their language. If it's not perfect, they will look at you like you have a dick growing out of your forehead.
He's using a Japanese accent when he's speaking Korean lol
Still impressive though xD
In Hollywood there are dialog coaches that help actors speak foreign lines. Usually it's only 1 or 2 sentences but Carrey speaks a lot of lines here. They're all memorized. Anyway the dialog coach may have been a Japanese who spoke Korean as a second language. The movie business is very sloppy in this regard. I speak Russian and French and I have never understood American actors speaking those languages in movies (unless they use native speakers)
+olgasM3 Have you seen Captain America 2? There was the scene at the beginning where Captain America speaks with a French guy. I laughed so hard when I heard that the accent was definitely from Quebec. I'm from Quebec, but they tried to sell a villain from France as a Quebecker. Actually, the whole cinema erupted in laughter. :)
+iKoreaan yeah i was wondering why it sounded weird xD
Yeaaa I speak Korean, but I cannot understand him. Having just visited Japan I really feel like he's confused the sounds of Korean with Japanese. haha.
당연하지. But you can still give him credit for trying. :)
He was awesome in that movie...and yes he will speak Korean with an accent. He just learned the language, for god's sake. That's how normal people who learns any new language speak. The learned language, but their own speaking manner. That's the way that character should speak. If he was speaking the language with so much proficiency with just that short a time, that's when you know the character portrayal is done wrong...!!
Gosh !! What's wrong with people??
this comment makes sense
They want to diss. Who doesn't like attention?
@@Joshua_Cartus I dont
I think it's just jarring to hear such advanced syntax in a beginner's accent. Generally, if you get far enough to converse like that, you also learn along the way how to shape your mouth to form the words more naturally. It really doesn't feel like a failure on his part, but on the part of the language coach and the creative team. There didn't have to be a disconnect there, but there was, and that's why we're all here talking about it. I really enjoyed this movie and this scene, but I think there was some untapped potential for an even smoother portrayal there.
@@adeliakaye8378 To be fair, there are plenty of advanced learners of any language who still speak with a thick accent.
i'm half korean and understood about 80% of what he said. i had to rewatch a few times to understand what he said. but that doesn't take away from jim carrey's effort to understand and speak the language back earnestly. big respect. :)
For a minute I thought I was watching a Kdrama with Jim Carrey in it 😂😂
LMAO
😂💕
Oh shit! ROTFL!!
2019 recommended...
but I'm gonna watch this movie right now.
It is a great "feel good" movie, up there with It's A Wonderful Life. Not a fantastic movie but very serviceable
I watched many times
What's the name of this movie? Pls tell.. :)
@@SydneyWCP yes man
@John Doe Arigato for the movie name /\
As a Korean his pronunciations,intonations accents are not really good but it wasn't hard to understand haha
+Howard Lee i imagine jim didn't study korean that much, that or he just hasn't had enough practice.
Yes I agree, he must have had lack of time to practice Korean.
Well he is supposed to be a beginner. If he spoke perfectly it wouldnt be realistic at all. Nice touch tbh.
저게 안좋은 발음이라고?
상당히 좋은데?
대부분의 한국인 영어발음보다는 훨씬 낫네그랴
He was using a japanese accent so that made it harder
This is really impressive! He did a good job! Not only that, but he even acted in the language expressively, like how he said that "your time will definitely come" and "she really hates my guts." I'm also very impressed by how well he got the 어 and 으 vowels, those took me a very long time. English does not have vowels like those. And that he said "hwaiting" with a great Korean accent, instead of a very English "fighting!" I think he should be proud, he did a great job.
70% of the comments: bitching about the accent
25% of the comments: defending the accent
5% of the comments: enjoying the damn clip.
Im enjoying the comments... hehe
I almost woke up my kid because I laughed so loud.

I just loved this movie ! So... I'm on the 5% category !

Why no one talking about how a Korean drama vibe was developing between Jim and that Lady when Jim started talking in Korean
I was LoL d at that scene btw thanks👍
I can tell he's trying his best so idk why y'all going off like 💀

@@ghoulsblood Im still learning I think I know one word called oppai dunno what it means though
@@thinginground5179 brooo🤣🤣🤣. It's oppa and it means big brother in Korean but what you remember is oppai which is breasts in Japanese 🤣🤣🤣
@@sometimeshotpocketscanchan2465 oohh shit ive been saying it randomly
I’m a native Korean speaker and from what I saw in interviews, he actually went and got a tutor to learn Korean for these scenes. It wasn’t just him reading phonetic sounds off a script, those few lines in Korean are actually digested by Carrey. You can see that he understands the construct of the language by listening to where he breaks the words and sentences. Instead of saying, “Ia m ad og”, he knows to break it up into, “I am a dog.”
Let's be fair on the accent for his Korean, there's a LOT of accents of English speakers, he did well considering.
I love the "Fighting!" he threw in there. LOL!
THAT WAS THE BEST!
Is that what “asasa” means? Ive always been curious about that expresion because is not translated.
1:52 he said hwaighting though. :D
Can you please explain for those (like me) who have no idea what this means? 😅
My Job Is Needed Hwaiting is the English word fighting but sometimes said phonetically as Hwaiting or Paiting. You can look up " Korean Fighting" on google if you want to learn more from a sites that know more than me.
My Job Is Needed Here it just means like good luck or do well idk something like that.
Looked up "korean fighting", now I know how violent korean people are.
Sebastian Lestrange not physically
I've been studying Korean for 4 years, still not good enough at it to have a conversation with a native speaker... but, after seeing this... I guess I'll keep working...
Sounds more like Japanese but still he did a good job.
thats what i thought also lol
That's korean ^^
They are pretty similar in certain regards, a good number of common words and phrases can be heard between both.
Doesn't sound like Japanese to me at all. But some Korean people commented that it sounded like Korean with Japanese accent.
@@YustinJ420 the way he pronounced the words sound more Japanese. Yes the words themselves are Korean but the way he was speaking, where he put the accent in the words isn't typical Korean, it did sound more like Japanese.
I don’t care what people say, the dedication Jim Carrey puts in is amazing.
Sounds like Korean but with a Japanese accent? lol
yeah !
Yah, it's sound like he talking in Japanese.
If I wouldn't know he speak Korean I would think he's speaking in Japanese.
That's probably because he learned Japanese first.
+TornadoCreator Maybe, or he talking like this in purpose to pretend he is funny.
That’s odd, because I lived in Japan for 5-years and I don’t hear a true Japanese accent at all. In fact, if I heard this over the telephone I would just think that some White guy was trying to speak to me in Korean.
Jim actually did a phenomenal job with all things considered. Consdiering the fact that English is characteristically drastically different from Korean. Jim did a great job.
If I’m being honest with my self and the internet I want to learn a language for this exact reason
TH-cam: Funny Jim Carey scene
Commenters: iT sOuNdS LiKe a JaPanEse InFlEcTiOn
Ikr, like calm down we all know your FluEnT in Korean and totally didn't just learn it cause you like kpop.
Everyone commenting about how people are commenting that he's accent isn't good.... Yet I don't see any such comments
It probably drowned from the sea of comments.
Itachi Goku Tbh I think his accent is perfect.
Same
Itachi Goku you must have seen “he sounds like he’s speaking Japanese” somewhere
This is the reasons why I like Jim Carrey, he really puts up his character in the play
I don't know much Korean, but his intonations make it sound more like he's speaking Japanese than Korean. But still, I can tell he did put in a lot of effort as always.
Saw this film - it was surprisingly good!
As a Korean, I love the way he speaks Korean😍
How proper is his pronunciation? 잘?
@@t.tokuyama869 sound weird but i can understand 😆

Everyone arguing about accents and all, but nobody mentions how beautiful and sad this scene is. The acting from both Jim and the Korean lady was great and the dialogue was well written and relatable. I like this scene.
Everyone: omg his accent
Me: so what happened to that someone trying to kill themself??
Watch the movie XD
He played the song for him and saved him. Until the next suicidal try
the next scene is the best in the movie
He sung a song to distract him and yeeted him off the window ledge
He sang a song to the dude trying to jump, and pulled him back when he least expected it and Jim ended it with a Beatles reference, "I got blisters on me fingers"

I'm intermediate in korean and actually he did pretty good. Like he messed up a few syllables but i could still make out what hes trying to say. I was also impressed by how good he got the eaiser words. He sounded pretty good towards the end too. 너무 멋져서! 화이팅, 짐 캐리!
I’m loving the positive comments on how amazing Jim Carey is learning and speaking Korean in this movie.
Jim Carrey Stans: OMG HE'S BREATHING
oh, on dio?
He did surprisingly well on making his Korean sound understandable. Can’t imagine how much effort he put in pulling that
It's not only about him speaking her native language, it's also about his approach on her problem and making she feels better.

The most unrealistic part about this scene is that she wasn't flabbergasted at how he knows Korean. Usually that results in a jawdrop....
At least they didn't make it too generic like what you assume all expect
thats just too cliche, maybe she'll lift an eyebrow
@@user-mg7wh8zq6v it's not cliche, it happens 8/10
@@geeksaurusrex close enough
She was sad, that's why
Jim exclaiming Aza Aza Fighting is the encouragement I never knew I needed.
I love how he got stuck in Korean at the end. 😂 So true of multi lingual people. Sometimes we need to nudge our brain to skip the other language lane. Lol.
I’m korean and lets just say....I think he did great so-
After so many dramas...I can finally understand most of these. After a these years. Lel. I can finally appreciate Jim Carrey's efforts here. It's actually good for when this movie was made.
Him speaking Korean to the American without realizing is literally how koreaboos act lmao
The movie situation is in Korea. Most likely people around him speak Korean. Storyline, plot and setting.
I probably will talk excitedly with Koreaboos or whatsoever is their name. The best way to learn a language is by using it. Well at least you will be able to know if someone is swearing at you in different language.
Plus, I don't understand why people love to put labels on everything. Poor world, no hopes when people are laughing at others, meanwhile they miss a chance to see how ridiculous they are for others too. Sad people.
@@namjoonismine5865 no, I get it and I appreciate your post!! I only meant as a joke because I've seen those compilations where a girl made a video that pretends to talk to an english friend and keeps "accidentally" speaking Korean

This happens to everyone who speaks more than one language anyway. If I am speaking or writing with someone in X language and then I speak to another person in a second language, I sometimes first talk to that other person in the language I was speaking with the first person until I quickly realize.
정준하씨는 어때욬ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 미친ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 현웃ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
That's exactly what I said. 😅
For all that don't know, the Korean teacher told him he was doing well.
I don't think I've seen any Hollywood actor speak a longer line in Korean with the camera in their face. Jim did an excellent job with in this scene. Jim is a perfectionist and did the whole scene on one continuous take. He did have the option of cutting in half, but he refused. The dialog was also changed numerous times but he rocked it. Yes, his pronunciation wasn't perfect. Although I can read, write and even speak Greek, Hebrew and German and am fluent in Korean and English, my pronunciation is not perfect when I speak German. I'm so proud of Jim for taking on this challenge.
The camera is not always on his face, there may be cuts. Not to blame his performance though
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm a Korean but I can't understand what he said without eng subtitles lol
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
***** sorryyy I'm terrible at Eng.
+glgldgld there's nothing wrong with saying "I'm a Korean"
just like "I'm an American"
+glgldgld don't listen to 오태태! "I'm a Korean" makes sense too.
+glgldgld Yeah me too. I'm learning Korean and I can tell his pronunciation is a bit off. It sounds like a mix of Korean & Japanese.
I'm in Korea right now watching this on TV and Jim Carrey has subtitles, but the Korean lady doesn't lol
Lol
LMAO
It doesn't take an entire comment section to tell me he's speaking with a Japanese accent
Lmao. Ikr
Deadass. Like, if you see a hundred other comments saying.the same thing why would you?
I love her reaction when she finds out he can speak Korean is so authentic
When he said, "Soomi ssi Hwaiting" he sounded like he was speaking French😂
That was cute.💕 communication is always the best door to a persons motivations. Action is the key that gets the tumblers of a minds awareness turning! 🙂
It can be a hell of a culture shock when someone finds out you speak their native tongue, but it tends to put a smile on people's faces when they least expect it. It shows you care about other cultures and are willing to adapt and learn.
“What did he call me” always gets me 😂
Really nice touch that he continues to speak korean when he meant to speak english...
What’s excellent about this scene is how is holds up years later! It’s warm, funny and sweet.
This video give me the push to continue my Korean language learning
Love You Jim Carey
That's so cute Jim Carrey...... No wonder lots people love you ❤

Good day mate 😁
HEJDLLELDLFMLSDLF NEVER SEEN THIS FORMAT BEFORE LMAOO DEAD 🤣🤣💀💀wheezing so funny
As a westerner, his accent is pretty okay. English doesn't have a lot of "sounds" that asian languages have, so it gets difficult for westerners to even pronounce it... He is doing so great. I wanna be this fluent with japanese someday
by westerners you mean English speakers and Spanish speakers. Europe is also part of "the west" and they have many languages and many sounds
I loved that last line, made me laugh so hard.
It happened to me a couple of times (once someone was translating for me and once I was the one translating). You just repeat in the original language and it takes you a minute to remember you were supposed to translate it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:26 he can even nod in korean
Jim Carrey: **Can speak Korean*
Me: **Still struggling to learn my own language*
Try harder
