And let's be honest Japanese people have a really rough time for the most part, talking in other languages. Their English and whatnot get's heavily affected by their native tongue, but the boy tried and did a great job. I can see as well as most of us thst Ronaldo was probably the only genuine person there because he respected the effort. A man is respected when he gives others respect, abd he has mine, both of them
Massive respect for this kid, who prepared a public speech in Portuguese, not because he had to, as Ronaldo speaks other languages too, but to honor Ronaldo’s native language. And Ronaldo, is a legend for standing up for this kid
It's called respect, wanting to speak an entirely different language to a guest in his country. Held his head down too. That took alot of courage. And Ronaldo is 💯 for this
That is incredible. The kid probably speaks multiple languages or is trying to, lives and works as a focussed athlete already, so his “how” question probably truly serves his plan. Well done!!

Random question but is Brazilian Portuguese the same as the Portuguese spoken in Portugal or does it have differences? Random question with no real point just want to know
@@nitoundead3772I don’t speak the language but I think it’s safe to assume that overall it’s quite similar, but there are slight differences in some words.
Do you hear that laughter? - that’s the sound of a hundred losers who have never achieved anything worthwhile in their lives. This Japanese boy inspires me.
This is not laughing to mock, but a Japanese way of showing consideration by trying to lighten the mood. For example, when giving presentations, Japanese people feel more at ease if the audience laughs rather than being met with silence. Laughing isn't just for mockery, right?
Never laugh at a child and don’t mock people who are making an effort to speak a foreign language. As a polyglot, I admire every single person who tries to learn other cultures’ languages. This child showed him respect as a person not just a famous athlete. That is precious.

Surprisingly it goes the other way too. When I started studying Japanese a couple of years ago, the pronunciation of words was very similar to Spanish (my native language). Basically whatever is written is how it's pronounced unlike English where words have can be pronounced nothing like how it's written.
@@RelsegJapanese has literally thousands of symbols as well as complex pitch accent rules that apply based upon not just the word, but also where the word is in the sentence. It is not as easy as you make it out to be.
In Spanish we have something like the pitch accent rules found in Japanese. There are certain rules that dictates where the stress of a syllable should fall on to convey a more precise message, and this are usually highlighted with an accent mark e.g.: "ésta", "está", "éste", "esté", etc. Combine that with how similar the pronunciation of the characters is, and no Spanish speaker is going to struggle with the language as much as an English speaker, at least when it comes to speaking. The only steep learning curve will be Kanji and the grammatical structure of the sentences, but I found the latter to be quite easy to get accustomed to, in my perspective.

I didn't care for soccer, nor did I care for Ronaldo. But seeing this clip for the first time years back made me pay attention to him. He's a good guy.
I will always have more respect for people who make an honest, good faith effort to converse with someone else in their native language, than those who speak the language natively but do so in a half-assed manner.
I don't even speak Portuguese, I'm a spanish speaker, and his Portuguese was so clear that I could understand everything he said even without reading the subtitles. He did good.
In fact both spanish speakers and portugese speakers can maintain an conversation even if they did not learn each other's language, in this case we portugese speakers we do an thing which we call 'portunhol' where we shift a little the words to sound a little like an spanish word like for example an 'poquito' that means 'a little', but sometimes we don't really need that 'portunhol' because because some words in spanish do not change in portugese in the word sense, but the pronounciation does.
@user-fv1lc2qm3e Reality is, It's fucked for Spanish people to understand any language whatsoever, it's not only with Portuguese. Even English that is the World's most spoken "lingua franca" Spanish struggle to understand or speak it. The problem is not Portuguese pronunciation, the situation is that Spanish is a very poor language in terms of vowel sounds and phonemes, it has only 5 vowel sound and 35 phonemes, making it the poorest language of the Latin derived languages, while Portuguese is a much richer language, it has 14 Vowel sounds and 54 phonemes. So that's why Spanish have problems understanding any other language at all, even English, while in Portugal people speak English very well and are able to understand and easily learn other languages.

I am an English teacher in Japan, and I have taught hundreds of kids like this. In my eyes, this boy is a hero. For Europeans or non-Americans, knowing multiple languages is common and even necessary as a result of living in an environment with many countries with different cultures and languages. But Japan is an island nation with a mostly homogenous population and a very distinct culture and language different from anywhere else. Many Japanese people consider speaking and understanding a foreign language to be an immense challenge. Even students from top schools struggle with everyday conversation in English. (And Portuguese is pretty much unheard of here) But despite that, this kid got up there in front of the world… and spoke to his hero in a foreign language. 95% of students here in Japan do not have the level of confidence and passion to do something this. Much respect Mr. Ronaldo for his grace and respect in this situation!

He was classy, kind, and very socially adept here. Not only did he defend the boy but he did it in a positive manner and without aggression towards the audience. This is an example of subtle but strong leadership.
Legend for a reason ❤ I followed soccer for 10 years supporting barca and following real madrid from 2008 to 2018 and every weekend ronaldo gave a stellar performance . A combination of hard work and excellence ❤❤❤❤
This young man understands respect and he choose the more difficult path, because that made a difference. Bet if you ask Ronaldo today about the Japanese boy who spoke to him in Portuguese, he will remember.
Slightly unrelated to the video, but I highly recommend you to learn Portuguese. It's an incredibly beautiful and hugely underrated language, with over 260 million speakers. Big props to this kid for trying, I'm also learning Portuguese and I understood everything he said até sem subtítulos.
Been wondering for years which latin language to learn. Are Portuguese and spanish close to each other? In the sense that learning one will automatically mean that you can speak the other?
@@mlooky1221 Portuguese and Spanish look very similar when written, but the spoken forms are actually quite different. Portuguese has many sounds that Spanish doesn't. A Spanish speaker would have some trouble understanding Portuguese spoken, but Portuguese speakers seem to understand Spanish speakers much better. Case in point: My friend is an Argentinian married to a Brazilian and she has trouble following her husband's conversations when he speaks Portuguese. If you want to learn a language that is very useful, go for Spanish (there are half a billion Spanish speakers in the world). But Portuguese is no lightweight either in terms of number of speakers, and I chose it because I love Lusophone culture and music. It depends what you like and what motivates you. Good luck in your language learning, let me know how it goes! :)
@@bag3lmonst3r72 I’m actually dying to learn Spanish since I’m a die hard Real Madrid fan and I would love to watch and understand programs like El Chiringuito without subtitles.

Thank you very much for the information by the way.

He tried to speak another language. Learning and self taught on this it seems. Very well done young man and respect to Ronaldo for seeing this. The man came from nothing
The translator should have been placed next to the boy, and while speaking, Ronaldo was supposed to be looking straight at the boy. In such cases, the translator is disregarded. Instead he had to turn away and speak to the translator in the opposite end of the room, while the boy seemed ignored. Oher than that, a breathtaking experience for a young kid.
As a native Portuguese speaker, I can say that the boy spoke well. His reading is perfectly understandable. There are great phonetic differences between Japanese and Portuguese, I can only imagine the efforts he has made to meet CR. These people should be ashamed of themselves for laughing at him.
I don't think most ppl were laughing to be mean and discouraging, I think they were laughing in endearment. It is cute and heart-warming to see this boy. To see him struggling and yet still succeeding to talk to his idol. I had a chuckle myself. You don't see things this amazing often.
Im always amazed by how well educated children in Eastern Asia are. I dont know Christiano but from bits like that and anecdotes I hear he comes across like a genuinely cool guy 🤍
Start learning language. When you are young you can remember so easily. Use this time to memorize useful things. You can be memorizing for your future career right now.
Pretty sure that hit Ronaldo personally because I still remember when he came to England he didnt speak a word of English so everyone used to laugh at him! But look at him! Now hes more fluent in English than many people in the world!
I wish more people would act like this child; It shows huge respect speaking to him in Portuguese , he is showing respect not only to Ronaldo but to the country and if more people did this , imagine the world we could live in. Respect to both him and Ronaldo. Lovely interaction.
Cristiano and Messi marked their generation not only by being great players with great skill, but also because of their humility, God bless their hearts
I don’t think people were laughing at him speaking his language. I think they found it adorable so they laughed it off, but regardless, Ronaldo most likely understood the room and wanted to reassure the boy who probably had no idea what was happening. Bravo to him.
Ok. Cristiano Ronaldo not only won me over for sticking up for a young boy but brought tears to my eyes for being one of the greatest athletes ever and still be so humble.
People didn't laugh out of disrespect, they laughed because it was cute how this boy wanted to play with his idol. It's still not right to laugh, because the boy was extremely nervous and uncomfortable. It's difficult to speak a foreign language in front of other people. You feel small and stupid. Only people who lived in foreign countries will understand this feeling.
If this happened in Japan, the audience was not laughing at the kid. It's something Japanese people do...laugh to relieve some of the tensity. It's more like an "awww that's so sweet. You're doing a good job. Ganbare." However I did this when someone fell off a chair and laughed to express my surprise but ended up pissing off the person...cultural difference is so hard man...
The child must have been extremely nervous. I’m happy he came to his defense.

How about the British? Australia? China? Japan? New Zealand? Mexico? Brazil? France?Nicaragua? Argentina? Uruguay? Paraguay? Chile? Saudi Arabia? Yemen? Qatar? UAE? Why do people always single out America as the only country where monolingualism is common? Especially since this happened in Japan. What does america even have to do with it?
He is the true sigma, he humbled them by being wholesome
That's exactly the reason why he's the true goat.
The greatest lesson ever taught in so little time. Kudos CR.
Such a brave child
Yep
He was classy, kind, and very socially adept here. Not only did he defend the boy but he did it in a positive manner and without aggression towards the audience. This is an example of subtle but strong leadership.
respect to CR7 for defending that kid
He appreciate that kid who is trying hard to speak his (portuguese) language.. respect
Imagine getting a motivational speech from your favourite athlete.
I'm glad Ronaldo stood by his side
That kid speaks Portuguese so well
Só de um Homem como Cristiano Ronaldo, orgulho de Portugal. 🇵🇹
This is why you will continue to see more and more of the current stars pay homage to CR7. They grew up watching him do stuff like this.
Legend for a reason ❤ I followed soccer for 10 years supporting barca and following real madrid from 2008 to 2018 and every weekend ronaldo gave a stellar performance . A combination of hard work and excellence ❤❤❤❤
I speak portuguese and I agree with Ronaldo, the kid spoke it in a broken but totally understandable way. Cheers! God Bless!
Cristiano is really an awesome person..he got great values!!❤
What that kid is doing is super nice, and super brave.
Very disrespectful crowd. This kid has spent time and effort practicing his questions in Portuguese.
Racism as usual
The sheeple start clapping after Ronaldo calls them out.
😂🤦♂️
😂😂😂 exactly
What a good guy
This kid ten years from now he will laugh at those people when he plays in Europe
This young man understands respect and he choose the more difficult path, because that made a difference.
Bet if you ask Ronaldo today about the Japanese boy who spoke to him in Portuguese, he will remember.
such a humble man
Slightly unrelated to the video, but I highly recommend you to learn Portuguese. It's an incredibly beautiful and hugely underrated language, with over 260 million speakers. Big props to this kid for trying, I'm also learning Portuguese and I understood everything he said até sem subtítulos.
Been wondering for years which latin language to learn. Are Portuguese and spanish close to each other? In the sense that learning one will automatically mean that you can speak the other?
@@mlooky1221 Portuguese and Spanish look very similar when written, but the spoken forms are actually quite different. Portuguese has many sounds that Spanish doesn't. A Spanish speaker would have some trouble understanding Portuguese spoken, but Portuguese speakers seem to understand Spanish speakers much better. Case in point: My friend is an Argentinian married to a Brazilian and she has trouble following her husband's conversations when he speaks Portuguese.
If you want to learn a language that is very useful, go for Spanish (there are half a billion Spanish speakers in the world). But Portuguese is no lightweight either in terms of number of speakers, and I chose it because I love Lusophone culture and music. It depends what you like and what motivates you.
Good luck in your language learning, let me know how it goes! :)
@@bag3lmonst3r72 I’m actually dying to learn Spanish since I’m a die hard Real Madrid fan and I would love to watch and understand programs like El Chiringuito without subtitles. I can already follow the context of some conversations from the english sounding words that are thrown around but I really want to learn the full language. Thank you very much for the information by the way.
Agradeço o elogio a minha língua, normalmente as pessoas falam mais do espanhol até por ser uma das línguas mais faladas no mundo, então agradeço o seu elogio a minha língua
@@esquel_astronaut imagina! Amo muito a música bossa nova, então isso me motiva a continuar falando sua linda língua sempre que eu puder. Graças ao seu país por fornecernos este presente maravilhoso. "A última flor do Lácio, inculta e bela" ;)
He tried to speak another language. Learning and self taught on this it seems. Very well done young man and respect to Ronaldo for seeing this. The man came from nothing
This is what setting an excellent example looks like. Cristiano is the GOAT.
Greatest of all time ❤😊
Cr7 the goat
This kid grew up to become Levi Ackermann
KENNNNNYYYYYYYYY
Nah, he will be himsagi

Man more ive seeen this mans videos on net, hes actually gets more respect bcz of his actions, i am just glad we have players like him
Cristiano is a class act, shows respect for others and defends children, a good man who is humble and hardworking.
The translator should have been placed next to the boy, and while speaking, Ronaldo was supposed to be looking straight at the boy. In such cases, the translator is disregarded. Instead he had to turn away and speak to the translator in the opposite end of the room, while the boy seemed ignored. Oher than that, a breathtaking experience for a young kid.
Ronaldo zawsze ma ojcowskie podejście do dzieci. Prawdziwy z niego ojciec i świetny profesjonalista.
As a native Portuguese speaker, I can say that the boy spoke well. His reading is perfectly understandable. There are great phonetic differences between Japanese and Portuguese, I can only imagine the efforts he has made to meet CR. These people should be ashamed of themselves for laughing at him.
The kid tried his best. He has my respect! I wish him good luck in his career!
That is what respect looks like. Both of them are honorable people!
I am brazilian and the boy speaks portuguese very well. I look up him for his effort
00:24 lady he is not a dumb HE UNDERSTAND IT .........that look :D
She just double checking geez
Ronaldo is a beautiful soul.
Cristiano is a Nice person with kids. Bravo
This is the diversity i believe in. Across language barriers, across cultures. When the effort is made, people appreciate that a lot.
I don't think most ppl were laughing to be mean and discouraging, I think they were laughing in endearment. It is cute and heart-warming to see this boy. To see him struggling and yet still succeeding to talk to his idol. I had a chuckle myself. You don't see things this amazing often.
1:05 Hes talking nervously in a different language probably akso talking slow because it's hard for him he was good to me. Wtf is everyone laughing
Probably because they have that stupid bullying culture that's worse than in US.
The audacity of the audience to clap. 😑
Fr most shameless people
Strong people show their strength supporting people around them.
Im always amazed by how well educated children in Eastern Asia are. I dont know Christiano but from bits like that and anecdotes I hear he comes across like a genuinely cool guy 🤍
Ronaldo truly the goat
Messi better
@@CHAlVlELEOlVpessi ,loser Ronaldo better
Respect for this kid and Ronaldo!
O garoto mandou bem pra quem aparentemente nunca falou português na vida,ficou bem explícito a fala.
That's why he is CR7 .. ❤ very humble footballer...
as a Brazilian, it is actually very accurate. i’m using translate to talk to you right now.
Start learning language. When you are young you can remember so easily. Use this time to memorize useful things. You can be memorizing for your future career right now.
how do you know me young?
I just assumed honestly. because of your profile picture. @@CareerJr
@@humanbean3😂😂😂😂😂
O cara está certo, aproveita e aprenda enquanto está bem fresco e novo na sua memória e veja a magia acontecer ao aprender a falar e ler em inglês
sticking up for that kid shows CR7 has class.
What a great role model!
Pretty sure that hit Ronaldo personally because I still remember when he came to England he didnt speak a word of English so everyone used to laugh at him! But look at him! Now hes more fluent in English than many people in the world!
I wish more people would act like this child; It shows huge respect speaking to him in Portuguese , he is showing respect not only to Ronaldo but to the country and if more people did this , imagine the world we could live in. Respect to both him and Ronaldo. Lovely interaction.
Respect respect….leading by example. Nicely done Ronaldo.
buncha grown adults laughing at him like they're in a high school classroom. embarrassing. lil man did great
Cristiano and Messi marked their generation not only by being great players with great skill, but also because of their humility, God bless their hearts
Now this is what i love and admire about cristiano. Man respects any person being who's trying hard to achieve a goal.
I'm Brazilian and he speaks Portuguese very well
I don’t think people were laughing at him speaking his language. I think they found it adorable so they laughed it off, but regardless, Ronaldo most likely understood the room and wanted to reassure the boy who probably had no idea what was happening. Bravo to him.
At some point ronaldo was also in the exact position, nobody will understand that kid better than ronaldo
CR7 with his one sentence change the mindset of people & also motivtes the child. Gr8 respect to him.
Ok. Cristiano Ronaldo not only won me over for sticking up for a young boy but brought tears to my eyes for being one of the greatest athletes ever and still be so humble.
People didn't laugh out of disrespect, they laughed because it was cute how this boy wanted to play with his idol.
It's still not right to laugh, because the boy was extremely nervous and uncomfortable.
It's difficult to speak a foreign language in front of other people. You feel small and stupid. Only people who lived in foreign countries will understand this feeling.
The fact is that lyto actually became a footballer
Really? That is nice!
Where does he play?
If this happened in Japan, the audience was not laughing at the kid. It's something Japanese people do...laugh to relieve some of the tensity. It's more like an "awww that's so sweet. You're doing a good job. Ganbare."
However I did this when someone fell off a chair and laughed to express my surprise but ended up pissing off the person...cultural difference is so hard man...
