How can you study multiple languages and not get them mixed up? Today we are going to Kobe Chinatown to speak Chinese, Japanese, and English to multilingual people and switch languages back and forth flawlessly. I'll teach you how you can do it too.

  • I only recommend things that I actually used and spent my own money on. If I didn't use it to get to this point, I don't recommend it to you. These street videos are simple and give you a realistic idea of what you could get to without having to leave your country. You can reach the level of conversation shown in the video without spending years abroad. For anyone that wants to get started, here is a FREE 7 DAY Trial for audio lessons I used for Japanese and am now using for Korean: imp.i271380.net/c/2397166/1117678/11472

    • 💖💗💖. I think at this point you might as well learn Russian too since everyone.thinks you are from there!!. I switch from English to Spanish and back sometimes without even realizing it.. My roommates are both Mexican.and don't speak English so I speak.Spanish more than English. (I am American). Do you still think in English or do you sometimes find yourself thinking in another language too?

  • My son grew up as a bilingual (Chinese/German). Nevertheless as an infant it was difficult for him to switch quickly between these two languages and it was impossible for him to translate. That changed when he was around 6 years old. A funny experience was a visit to the U.S. when he was five. He tried to speak German to his US/Chinese cousin and she tried to speak English to him. It took me quite a while to convince both children that they need to speak Chinese to each other. Finally they switched to Chinese and I was no longer part of this conversation.

  • It's not your incredible ability to switch between languages that makes these videos so compelling (as utterly impressive as it is), but your natural and sincere ability to connect with and converse with people on a relatable level. You're unflappable and a talented conversationalist. I am just beyond impressed. In a world where isolation, introversion and misanthropy (mainly here in he West) are increasing in normality, it's refreshing to see someone go out of their way to connect.

    • I believe it very much depends on people and it´s an individual skill, it´s not just about sheer will. I am an extrovert, it´s inherited and always found it easy to connect with people, also find it very easy to gain trust which is at times a bit unsettling, believe it or not. My best friend tries hard and although we share many of the same traits people just don´t respond that well to him, he often gets the "cold shoulder". To add to the mystery I am never polite, I often just speak my mind and will not lie under any circumstances just to please. Not rude either, I just have found this sweet balance of just being me without a mask. Anyway, happy New Year.

    • I live in the Uk and I can’t even speak to my family In Korean because my brothers are a bit racist if that’s the right word and at my old school it’d bring my gears when we watched a video on China and people were pulling the eyes and just speaking nonsense no even understanding that it’s the same sort of foreign sounds that they will hear to listen to someone speak English or Spanish or even Korean so I always would just sweat from second hand embarrassment for the people that don’t know that this sort of thing happens in school still and the teachers did nothing even though everyone was silent but the people joking about it, I just wish western secondary schools would invest in teaching us Asian languages because you can’t combat racism with people being ignorant to the importance of language and all my school taught us was Spanish because it was “easiest” and so I would often write some simple Korean sentences in my book such as “안녕 만나서 반가워.” Meaning “Hello it’s nice to meet you” and my teacher would ask how and why I’m learning 2 languages as Korean isn’t on the GCSE list so I just replied with “I want to understand different languages and be able to help people in need that can only speak a certain language and my plan is to learn Korean, Japanese, and, Chinese and move to Korea.” I also asked why the school never did education on this topic as without knowledgeof this then you’ll never know that what you and other people are doing wrong and as a quiet “weird” person because I was learning an Asian language so I spent my time speaking to people in the yard just expressing what I liked and my views on the topics and because I moved to a UTC school this year I asked them to continue what I wanted and to say and tell people why it’s important to learn about Asian language and culture as I’m 13 and this happened when I was twelve, I can currently speak half fluent Korean though I can’t pronounce some characters right because I have some lisp type thing so i can’t speak properly. I just hope one day when my grandchildren are in school I can see a circle of different ethnicities all together and there be no racism in sight, even though currently with how the world pans out right now it could be a fantasy but my hopes are there and they will forever be there. Sorry it was so long I just am passionate about this and had to get it off my chest.

  • In my beginning years in Germany I worked for a German moving company that did moving and transporting for the US military. I barely spoke German when I first started at the job. However having to communicate between German co-workers and American customers helped tremendously to improve my language capabilities and allow me to become fluid in speaking and understanding German. That along with reading and writting as much as possible in the language one wants to learn will increase ones vocabulary automatically. The brain is truely amazing with the speed at which it can function without mistakes when it has been trained properly. I must say Anming makes me a bit jealous with her Chinese & Japanese abilities though. I guess When she has mastered Korean she will move on to Thai or Vietnamese. 🤔

    • Bon chance! I studied French in high school, I think you’ll find it much easier than Japanese because it is more closely associated with English. Lol, I still remember this one sentence in a worksheet that was silly. The whole class latched onto it as a joke and unfortunately it’s one of few things I still can recite: Oh la la, J’ai en rendez-vous avec David dans vingt minutes! Have fun translating. That silly sentence is so catchy.

I still find it so strange that when speaking a mix of English and Spanish we still understand eachother perfectly and the sentences somehow make sense grammaticaly. For example, “Puedes pasar me the thing over there?” I think it’s really cool to be able to switch between languages and I want to be able to add Japanese into the mix one day :3

I technically know double-talk, something I learned as a kid with my brother. LOL! My sister-in-law is Salvadorian and has a two and a half year old with my brother. I admire her so much for teaching my nephew two different languages as he grows. I think I will start my journey with Spanish and work my way to Japanese.
