      The last guy touched my heart and we have an imagine that everyone coming is just looking for a better life. That they are getting away from a bad place and bad people… Except, the reality is Eurøpe is letting everyone in, including the bad people too.
      I don’t have the stats from Spain but I do from Italy. Here are the stats from Italy, that the medía and gøvernment won’t tell you (you have to research them yourself).
      Foreigners make up 8.7 percent of the Italy’s population, yet commit over half of all serious crimes. A whopping 89.7 percent of crimes involving exploitation of prostitution, 55.8 percent of cases involving sexual violence, 52.8 percent of robberies, 52.4 percent of thefts, and 43.6 percent of malicious injury cases.
      Keep in mind, the data does not include crimes committed by second-generation Italians. In other words, Italians born to immigrant parents are not listed as “foreigners” and are instead seen as Italian citizens. If you add them, it’s over 80% of the seríous crimes in Italy. The data helps dispel the notion that immigrants coming in are all just peaceful people looking for a better life. The data shows that foreigners account for a massively disproportionate share of the overall crime rate.
      “the worrying cultural climate in which certain phenomena occur is a sign of a total lack of any kind of values”. - Chief Inspector Omar Di Ronco
      After a week of widespread chaos breakout n Italian lakeside towns near Lake Garda involving up to 2,000 migrants. The chaos included widespread violence, stabbings and assaults. The Italian public prosecutor’s office and the Italian Parliament have opened a number of investigations, including into cases where migrant men sexually assaulted teen girls, including 6 on a train from Lake Garda to Milan.
      “They are just a culture of criminals who have left a deep wound in my community. We lived a week of war,” said the mayor of Italian lakeside town Peschiera
      Good luck to him and the people that are truly good people, because Eurøpe has done a poor job of ensuring bad people don’t also get in.

    Hey i just wanted to say this as advice as to why some of the older people in the video may have seen apprehensive to respond back or a bit offended. When you asked them the question “How many languages do you speak” in spanish, you addressed them in an informal tone, which could come across as offensive to people you don’t know and more so to the elder population. Perhaps it’d be better to ask, “Cuántos idiomas hablA” (without the S)

    I only came here to say that Catalan Language is also spoken where I'm living, 400 km away from Barcelona: Valencia (which is part of the region called: Valencian Community or Valencian Country). Furthermore, you can fully here Catalan language in all the islands of the Balearic Islands (Eivissa-Ibiza+Pituïsses, Mallorca-Majorca, Menorca) and finally Andorra. Less but not list important, it's also spoken in Alguer-Alghero (Sardenya-Sardinia, belonged to Italy Republic) and Rosselló-Roussillon, south-east of France.

    I like Barcelona a lot. I've been there several times but the perspective has kept changing. The first times I went there, I was still living in Germany although I had a fairly good level of Spanish due to my language studies at university in Berlin and some practice. At this stage I'm living in a small town in Valencia. I'm married to a Spaniard and speak not only Spanish fluently but also Valencian, which is a dialect of Catalan. When I go to Barcelona now, I'm going there as someone with strong ties with the lical culture and language. The local people may realize features of a German when seeing me, even though my skin colour is my no means different to theirs anymore. And as I am very likely with my wife or in a group of people speaking to them in Catalan, I find myself quite far away from what the local people would expect from a tourist from abroad.

That last person you spoke with, from Guinea. I admit that the first thing I noticed about him was his very dark skin and then he spoke of his language knowledge, struggles, hopes, and dreams. I am a refugee myself and what he said touched me. He is a representative of the kaleidoscope of humanity at its best.

    What the Kyrghiz guy meant is the following:
    Turkic languages include some 35 languages like Kyrgyz, Azerbaijani, Uzbek etc. Unlike common assumption, Turkish or other Turkic languages are not related to Arabic. If anything Arabic is much closer to English than it is to Turkish (the former beloning to the Indo-European language family while the latter belongs to the Ural-Altaic language family- as the interviewee also mentioned it as "Ural". So in terms of syntax, for instance, Turkish is close to Korean or Japanese. The word order is inverse compared to English, French, Spanish, Italian etc.)
    The confusion is because Turkish or Kyrghiz, as it's the case here, borrowed words from Arabic, Persian etc. (Remember Ottoman Empire encompassed Arabic-speaking regions too, if we focus on Turkish). So that's why he gave the example of saying hi but basically said something in Arabic. In Turkish also, you can say Salaimu Aleykum to mean hi - esp. if you have religious orientation or if you're older generation- but you can just opt for "Merhaba" or "Selam" instead- which are, surprise surprise, borrowed words again from the Middle Eastern languages. Anyway, Turkish borrowed heavily from Arabic - and more so from Persian and to a lesser extent from French- , that's a given, but it's really a totally different language -- on a last note, that explains why we, conference interpreters, have a hard time going between English-Turkish, for instance, as the word order is simply the inverse. So we rely heavily on our guessing capacities :))

      You're right, except that Arabic is not and Indo-European language, it's a semitic language like Hebrew and the Altaic language family has been disproven, Korean and Japanese are language isolates.
      But yeah, English has a lot of Arabic and Hebrew loanwords(alcohol, sugar, coffee, azure, alchemy, assassin, arsenal, algebra, artichoke, apricot etc.) so it would be closer to Arabic than Kyrgyz

      @@User08179 Yes we have a lot of words from Arabic-Persian or French. That doesn't mean that Turkish is similar to these languages though- this is what I meant. It is just we have borrow words, that's it. But the grammar and the structure of language is TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Plus, we changed it to Latin alphabet because Arabic script didn't allow for correct pronunciation of Turkish- we just used Arabic script but basically the language was TURKISH. It is like you write Arabic using Kyrillic but stilll you would be speaking Arabic righ
      You can just listen to Turkish on TH-cam to see how different it sounds from all those languages. It isn't that "someone came, changed the Arabic to Latin and that's why there is difference". It is because there is those differences that the President and the language commission changed it to Latin.

    I've been watching your videos for a while now, and it was a nice surprise to see you in Barcelona, the city I was born in. As you can guess through the comments, the catalan subject is a bit touchy. Catalan is a nice language (in my opinion), with around 10 million speakers in different mediterranean countries. In some places it bears a different name, basically for political reasons, but this doesn't change the fact that valencians and catalans, for instance, can understand each others with no problem. That's what languages are made for, to connect and comunicate with other humans beings, not to separate. Kudos to the last guy in the video.
