I ask strangers in Vancouver what languages they speak. As you can see, Vancouver is a very multicultural city full of languages from all around the world. Hope you enjoy, and you may support my work if you chose to :)

#Vancouver #Canada #languages
That men from Africa who is carrying a book. Respect 👍👍👍
I love when people are humble and honest about their language skills. Understanding and being able to speak a language are two very different things.
yes a lot of people point their language skills out bigger than they actually are youtube comments are also rife this type of people.
Dan, I like how you added the Wikipedia page on Luhya language. It made that gentleman you interviewed even more relatable and interesting. Hope you will continue adding more background info for other interviewees e.g. their language, food, music, culture, etc.
A lot of people claim to speak french. Frankly, I do not believe that is true. I am French. I have been to Vancouver. One or two people were capable of speaking french…
People cap they speak French in canada so hard it's embarrassing
You might have had better opportunity to meet French speakers in Montreal. I was there years ago and multiple places had employees that only spoke french. I only got by because at the time I could read Spanish and was able to understand the menus. Ive noticed that Vancouver and Toronto Canadians don’t speak French. Well the people that I have met.
They probably all had to take a few classes in elementary school and they’re counting that
yes it s true they re lying about their language skill knowing 5 sentences doesnt mean u speak that language
To be fair, the majority of people in this video didn’t claim to speak French either. It’s an international city, as seen in this video, a lot of people in Vancouver were born abroad.
Прекрасные такие разные люди! МИРНЫЕ люди! Живущие своей жизнью, не стремящиеся завоевать чужие территории, уничтожить других людей😢, как делаем это мы.... Мирного неба! ❤
Dan, the joy you bring to the world is a wonderful thing! Happy Holidays to you and your viewers.
Thank you Romazone8101! Happy Holidays to you too)

Hello Dan! Thanks for another interesting video. I have been looking forward to seeing them for a few months now. Keep up the good work. :)
Really good videos, man. Congratulations for your channel, you're doing a great job.
Love this concept! Keep it up Dan!
Dan, this was a really beautiful video and I especially like the end where you talked about how grateful you are for everything that we and you have done, never give up your dreams! 🐢
Love your channel,keep the amazing work. Regards from Mexico
Merry Christmas, Daniel, and keep up providing us with this amazing and meaningful content! I am from the Azores (S. Miguel Island), but I am passionate about meeting new cultures, and strangers. Fortunately enough, working in Tourism makes it possible, and with the current and growing influx, we manage to see people from around the world. Apart from that, I've always been curious about Canada. Perhaps because it's always been portrayed to be like a multicultural environment (My uncle used to live in Montréal for about 30 years,; he moved there without speaking a single word of neither French or English), even if the current situation is becoming rougher (with rent prices going up in Montréal, and with violence increasing among public schools).
Darn it’s really neat seeing sights I pass by daily on KZhead. Keep up the neat content!
Loved this one, Dan, and what you said at the end is inspirational and warm. So are are you and most of the people in your videos. As other viewers commented, your content is actually about people, learning and connecting. Something the human kind needs desperately in order to survive in this ever-changing world. Thank you.
Dan, you narrate a story and a message that is so important, and very much needed in this world. I’m always hoping that when I log into KZhead that you’ll have a new video to share with us. You’re doing some great work. Keep at it! Grazie mille il mio amico. 🐢
Great video and amazing story behind your work behind it. Keep it all up :)
First time I have seen one of your vids and I loved it. I loved how people open up when you ask questions about them. Brilliant.
Thank you 🐢 love your videos and seeing all the people you meet!
Thank you so much for making this content. Much love from Stockholm
I've been following your channel for a long time and I love how you show how important it is to speak more than one language. I was also hoping you would do a Vancouver chapter, I moved to Vancouver a few months ago and you just interviewed in the Commercial Drive area, a few blocks from where I'm living, if I had seen you I would have invited you for a coffee. See you next time, cheers!
🐢every time I watch one of these videos, I get amazed by how many languages exist and motivated to learn them!! good content, as always. thank you Dan!!
Hi bro, just wanted to let you know that i really enjoy your content and how you interact with everyone. keep it up
Such a nice video and Vancouver is such a beautiful city! I live here as well and I find this video inspirational, great work.
I’ve recently discovered your channel and your “project” is simply but amazing. It’s more than languages, it’s about people, cultures, feelings and connections. It’s a reminder, as you said, about how beautiful and various it’s our world. Keep exploring and learning! Ciao e grazie per ciò che fai! 🇮🇹🐢
I love your interviews so much, thanks. 谢谢。
Lovely channel, thanks for your thoughts at the end of the video. Happy holiday season 🤗
Thank you so much for your content, it's amazing !
Spanish, English, French, Italian and lil bit German. Im in Vanocuver!
I visited Vancouver this summer for just two days and I fell in love! I really wanna go back next summer! :)) also I’ve been watching you for years. Glad you never quit KZhead. Best of luck! Happy holidays.
Dan, thank you! Somehow this simple recipe of asking strangers about their linguistic abilities works fantastically each time and always makes me cheer a little. That is a huge achievement given I've barely found myself cheerful in the past few (if not many) years. Whenever you come across these cool, versatile characters and thoughtful convos on the street, it makes a deep, enriching impression. Like the other Dan from this episode and many other people before him in all your videos. Hope your circumstances won't ever force you to quit doing these vids. Live long and prosper ✌
🐢 Love your videos Dan! I enjoy all of the human connections that you make.
Thank you, Dan, for this nice video with so beautiful and interesting people 💫
I really enjoy watching your videos because somehow they motivate me to learn other languages.
I'm from Vancouver and I love how multicultural it is! Especially attending university here, there are so many international students who speak so many different languages and it is so fun to learn about different cultures and languages. I have had so many conversations with friends here comparing features in languages, teaching each other words etc. And as for the languages I speak: English and French, and 0.25 Korean
French ? I think that some of you pretend to speak french because of the few phrases you have learned . 😂
@@neofils Exactly! Because they are afraid to be regarded as ignorant , to put it simply,. many of the persons in this footage are lying. As for multiculturalism, many have already paid the ultimate price because of it!
@@neofils i did immersion so from kindergarten to grade 12 French was the primary language my school was taught in. Did science in French fill grade 10, social studies in French till grade 11
Multiculturalism is an identity-less low trust society full of people who stick to and vouch for their own kind, with no spiritual ties to the land they occupy. 50 years ago Immigrants used to denounce their citizen ship for a Canadian passport. They dedicated themselves to this country. They rarely flew back where they came from and never sent money back. Today, they only want permanent residence status (something like 75% of them) so they can legally occupy two countries and without giving full loyalty to Canada, because what is Canada to them? It’s nothing to them other than a place to make money, they don’t see Canadian culture or all the other ethnicities in Canada as “theirs”. They fly back and forth multiple times a year, they send money back home, they bombard our social services and they all have one foot out the door.
0,25 Korean lol someone has been watching a lot of K-Dramas 👀
Thank you Dan for your videos! Good luck! I am learning English and always watch your chanel.
when i saw ur community post that u were almost done ur last "WLDYS" video, i had the suspicion that it would be vancouver haha. its awesome that ur final city is my hometown, and that its conveniently also the longest in ur series!! now i got a better idea of what everyone in my city speaks.
Thank you for ur work u do! Wish you luck
loved this video. To me it illuminated the beauty of individuals. and the common desire we have to understand one another and interact with strangers
I'm a fan of your videos and excited to hear that you have big plans for 2024! Keep up the good work Dan!
The video made me notice how beautiful Vancouver is and I questioned myself how I was not aware of this hehe. Thanks for the video!
🐢 Thank you for your videos. They make me realize there are still good, kind people in the world.
Congratulations for you Dan! I'm Brazilian and i see all your videos! Good luck for you!
🐢Pretty amazing, man! Love your videos!
Dan, thank you for bring us and know a lot of cities. I discovered your channel because I wamted to learn English and with each video. I can learn a little bit expressions maybe my English level is not so good but I keep trying. I hope that someday I can speak at least two languages.
Love to see the interviews ... go on its so interesting.
🐢 Dan, you've been making interesting videos and I absolutely love following your amazing content which includes meeting new people around the world through this platform, knowing how many languages people can speak as well as a few of them I didn't even know they existed, exploring wonderful spots virtually whenever I watch your videos and so on. There are fantastic, meaningful things to engage with like those stories behind the nice job you've done. Language connects people from all kinds of backgrounds, and your hard work on your channel has paid off. I appreciate the good results. I have English and Spanish as my primary languages by the way. Thanks a lot for bringing this kind of content.
Some great ideas for future videos would be, asking speakers of Icelandic from Reykjavik how many languages can they speak, and speakers of Welsh from Wales, and speakers of Dutch from Limburg, and speakers of Norwegian from Olso, and also, speakers of Breton from Brittany which is in France - I am learning many languages, including the prettiest languages ever created, namely Icelandic + Norse / Dutch / Norwegian etc, which are as pretty / refined / poetic as English, way too pretty not to know, and the nature is also amazing in all the Nordic countries, and the languages are so heavenly, I cannot even describe how pretty the words and sounds are, they are a real work of art, so I enjoy learning them all, and many other gorgeous languages as well, and it’s also a lot of fun watching this type of videos and anything language-related!
By the way, my current levels are... - writer level in English and native speaker level in Spanish - advanced level in Dutch and close to advanced level in Norwegian - very close to intermediate level in Old Norse / Icelandic / Welsh - intermediate level in German / Swedish / Portuguese / French / Italian - beginner level in Breton / Hungarian / Gothic / Latin / Faroese / Galician / Danish / Slovene - total beginner in Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic / Aranese / Elfdalian / Gallo / Limburgish / Occitan / Luxembourgish / Catalan / East Norse / Ripuarian / Swiss German / Alemanic / Austrian German / PlatDeitsch / Greenlandic Norse / Friulian / Pretarolo / Sardinian / Neapolitan / Sicilian / Venetian / Esperanto / Walloon / Ladin / Guernsey / Norn / Burgundian / West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian / Finnish / Latvian / Estonian etc (and the other languages based on Dutch / German / Norwegian / Italian / French that are referred to as ‘dialects’ but are usually a different language with different spelling etc) (This list isn’t complete tho!) These languages are all super pretty, with Dutch / Norse / English / Norwegian / Icelandic / Gothic / Welsh / Breton being in my top favorites, so I highly recommend learning them / any of them / some of them etc, especially Dutch / Icelandic + Norse / Norwegian (and at least one Celtic languages like Breton or Welsh, and at least one Latin language like Galician or Portuguese or Gallo etc) as they are so magical and so poetic, they are a lot of fun to learn and pronounce and see and hear etc, and I’ve been learning a lot of new words in the Norse languages lately, so I have seen so many thousands of gorgeous words, I cannot recommend them enough, these languages are a work of art!
Old Norse is one of the prettiest languages I’ve ever seen, it has real gorgeous words like erfiði / yfir / haf / vindr / dyn / skegg / dróttinn / veit / drengr / fjall / hǫnd / fisksins / lengr / hvassir / rauðr / hvarr / grænn / hvat / líkligr / hǫss / afi / frændi / heitir / veð / hráka / þó / kvern / mælti / hét / setja / hinn / kveða / sinn / leið / brott / knerri / við / dýr / með / heyra / eða / veiðir etc, and the word endings (like nir and inn and sins etc) and the letter combinations are so pretty, just like the word endings and letter combinations in English and Dutch and Norwegian, and Icelandic is very similar, and Faroese also, and Icelandic also has mostly gorgeous words like efne / verða / fer / eyra / nafni / leita / hef / logn / hafið / drekka / líf / dreki / samviska / vindinn / hæna / viska / garðinn / sófn / nef etc, and Dutch has gorgeous words such as verdween / links / veld / adem / renner / trekt / heen / deksel / voorheen / avond / weefsel etc, and Norwegian has gorgeous words like flyvertinne / sett / aviser / lære / grassker / lys / sølv / flyplass / heksen / eplet / ved etc, and Welsh has gorgeous words like helygen / afon / treth / ffeil / heddiw / boldyn / derwen / ffinnon / ers / fynwent / enaid etc, and they are also the coolest looking, just like English, the letters are gorgeous, the overall aspect is so pretty and cool, and the pronunciation rules are wonderful and they sound so modern and so cool, and to think most ppl have never heard of most of these languages as they are very unknown - I can’t stop learning new pretty words in Old Norse and Icelandic (and the other pretty languages) and they are really áddìctive to look at and read and hear in lyrics etc, I’ve been listening to Skáld songs in Old Norse and Icelandic since I found the first song in Old Norse (Troll Kalla Mik) and I’ve memorized most of those lyrics!
Norse is one of the prettiest languages I’ve ever seen, it has real gorgeous words like erfiði / yfir / haf / vindr / dyn / skegg / dróttinn / veit / drengr / fjall / hǫnd / fisksins / lengr / hvassir / rauðr / hvarr / grænn / hvat / líkligr / hǫss / afi / frændi / heitir / veð / hráka / þó / kvern / mælti / hét / setja / hinn / kveða / sinn / leið / brott / knerri / við / dýr / með / heyra / eða / veiðir etc, and the word endings (like nir and inn and sins etc) and the letter combinations are so pretty, just like the word endings and letter combinations in English and Dutch and Norwegian, and Icelandic is very similar, and Faroese also, and Icelandic also has almost only gorgeous words like efne / verða / fer / eyra / nafni / leita / hef / logn / hafið / drekka / líf / dreki / samviska / vindinn / hæna / viska / garðinn / sófn / nef etc!
Dutch words are also just too pretty not to know, and 83 of the prettiest words in Dutch are - ver, vlinder, verloren, feest, adem, vaste, veel, verdween, heel, het, heen, voorbij, vandaan, verven, domein, verwaald, drijfzand, lief, leegte, liefde, heerst, einde, zonder, weet, avond, vult, gekomen, centrum, moment, pad, loop, overheerst, vallen, twijfel, vinden, kelde, wald, ter, geweest, vrees, grenzen, verleg, rein, van, stellen, wilde, steeds, verstreken, evenbeeld, bleef, steile, vrede, stem, wens, net, tijd, stille, verwenst, zalig, ochtend, zilverreiger, weer, overwint, heerlijk, zin, hart, beweert, vanaf, kwijt, wolken, mes, verliezen, dwaling, verlaten, rede, trek, tuinhek, brand, verdien, blikje, vertellen, verder, vertrek...
Great video again! Спасибо!
Your videos are all awesome. It's amazing to know so many people without leaving my house. Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you Daniel! Me gusta mucho tu contenido
🐢 cool to see you in places I have been to myself. love the people, love Vancouver
🐢 Really enjoyed visiting Vancouver, great place for meeting so many cultures.
We've been watching your videos for a while now; I wish my wife and I had met you while you were filming this here in Vancouver. She can speak 5 languages. Keep the great videos coming.
Can you please tell us what the 5 languages are
@@anires1195 english, tagalog, fookien/hokkien, mandarin, & spanish
🐢Love your videos, you expand my world! I'm somewhat of a (taal-purist) language-purist, always noticing spelling/grammar mistakes, which if you point it out, most people don't like to hear it. I'm Dutch, and I speak 5 languages, to be: Dutch (Nederlands) German (Duits) French (Frans) English (Engels) and a little Portugese (Portugees).
I really like your videos, greetings from Brazil.
I'm from Brazil and always when I want to improve my listening or comprehension , I come to your KZhead channel and that help me a lot because I feel like them and you on the videos ,In Vancouver asking questions , answering the questions and feeling happy meeting new people .
Me too 🇧🇷
greetings to you my brazilian friend I love brazil 😊
Thanks for this fun series on languages, Dan. I only speak English fluently, am so-so in French and German, and am currently learning Turkish. Looking forward to your new content in 2024 :) - I live in Victoria.
Sp so french .... french is a canadian langage part of your herritage ....it is even on your passport
@@jeanbolduc5818 ok most canadians don't speak it fluently though lol it's not necessary in daily life unless you're in quebec or a french community
amazing channel i have ever seen thanks
Daniel seems like such a cool guy!
Man, I'm Ukrainian 🇺🇦 and always waiting for your new videos! Your content is just amazing! You really motivate me to learn more and more new languages ✊🏻

Glory to Ukraine, bro! I am your countryman! Слава Україні!
I like this channel - I've always been interested in learning other languages but never got beyond the beginner stage except for Mandarin. would be great to see you visit Australia. Muticultural cities but mostly monoglot regions.
Very cool! Thanks!
🐢Dan: I'm not sure how I missed this vid. I haven't been to Vancouver in many years although I did visit some friends in Victoria in 2019. This video showed once again your talent in engaging strangers in informative, humorous, gentle discussions. The only thing that made me laugh out loud was that you left in THAT word in québécois when the young man said it. So vulgar, so stereotypical. I loved it.
🐢 thank for your videos!
Great video. Thx
Thanks for mentioning the other side of youtube - viewers, us! The great privilege of human is ability to communicate. Great job, man. Good luck!
Delightful channel. Your inspiring message at the end cheered me up. Good times ahead. I'm Flemish, a Dutch speaking Belgian. Other languages: French, English, German, Swedish, Norwegian, little Spanish and tiny bit of Japanese. And two 'dead languages': Latin and ancient Greek.
Hi I am from Turkey we are waiting for you in Turkey 💪
canal simples, mas super interessante. parabéns
Thank you for ur videos bro
Great videos bud
I love your channel Dan, how many languages do you speak, it's the best part of your channel, I've been following you for two years, hugs and go to Africa, it would be really good for your channel to make how many languages do you speak in Africa 🎉🌟🤝🏽
The weather looks like Melbourne in June. Gloomy, grey. Brings me back to Melbourne in early winter. Everyone walks around with a depressed look on their face. 5pm and it's dark. Everyone incorporates the weather into their mood.
I see comments criticizing people who have said they know a bit of a language a few words. I wouldn't mock people who yearn to speak another language or even speak just a few words of one. Imagine the USA where people with the mere hint of an accent may be subjected to hate from strangers. Encourage any level of language learning even if it's a single word.
Nice!! Welcome to Vancouver!
Dan, you mean a lot for us too! ☺❤
I miss Vancouver. I lived in Seattle during The Great Recession. So, it was a strange reversal: The US dollar was at its rock bottom against Canadian dollar. It was always an expensive trip. But I loved the largeness of the city. And the amazing landscape in the surrounds. The sheer variety of East Asian foods was super nice.
I really do like the videos. -Marc
I'm studying English and I like your channel because I hear many English pronunciations and that makes me get used to different intonations
I speak 4 languages(Ukrainian , English, Dutch and Russian) pretty much fluent, and now learning French. Warm wishes from Ukraine ❤️
Really? wow
Good luck ❤
@@jeongbun2386 thanks❤️
Good job, keep going 👍
The Filipino guy w/the history lesson about the many old & new islands was a nice treat.
amazing content🤗🤗🤗
thank you for your very entertaining channel
Hello Dan, I think I remember your face from long time ago although we have personally met before. I live in Vancouver and it's been already 30 years since I came here from Japan. I'm so glad to see you became a successful KZheadr now and still growing so congratulations to that! Please keep doing a great job and I do appreciate your kind & warm heart that definitely brings peace to people around you.
Un autre bon vidéo… tout le monde à l’air très sympa 😊 J’aime Vancouver
Love your videos ❤ I speak kurdish,English and arabic 😊
I like your videos a lot, because I'm lerning English, and then, I use to whatch them for to improve my English and my listening, in the moment, my level is B1, and I could watch this video without legend, and I forgot to say, I'm Brazilian.
I love this series. Hopefully you can come to Houston one day; we’re the most diverse city in America.
🐢 your videos make me happier
Hi Dan!!
The Irish accent is so good. Very underrated.
16:13 I’m happy to see Japanese guys because I’m also Japanese and we rarely appear in this channel.
