What I find most interesting is the difference in people's perceptions about "speaking", "half speaking", or "a little speaking" a language. In Europe, I noticed people would never say they speak a foreign language even though they do. Whereas Americans usually claim to speak or "speak some" Spanish or German. I met Americans who claimed to speak either of the two, but they only could say, "Hello, my name is". I would never even mention that I know a language unless I can sustain a conversation in this language. Speaking "a little XXXX", to me means I can ask for direction, and I am able to reconfirm and interact, even though it is grammatically incorrect. Speaking "some XXXX" means to me being able to communicate and express myself in mostly one particular way. Being fluent, I consider what I am in English. It's not my native language, but I can fluently speak and express myself in different ways. Knowing Gracias or Ni hao and claiming to speak "a little" Spanish or Chinese is like saying to play the piano a little but only being able to hammer Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in C-Major with one hand in the keys.

I’m Romanian and what that Roma (Gypsy) gentleman wanted to say was that the Gypsy language and the Romanian language are so different, that even the few Romanian words the Gypsies introduced as neologisms into their language in about 800-1000 years since they arrived in the Romanian territories, count under 100 words altogether… and the Roma/Gypsies cannot communicate with the Romanians in their Gypsy language at all, because the languages are totally different; what he wasn’t able to clarify because his English wasn’t perfect, was that the Romanian language it’s one half very similar to Italian and the other half it’s probably inherited from the Dacian ancestors of the Romanians, called “Daci” in Romanian language. Because he did not know how to say Dacians in English, he said Daci, in Romanian meaning “Dacians”. To the English speaking world that sounds like Dutch - which would create even a bigger confusion 😂😂😂 that’s why I’m trying to explain it here 😂 Long story short, he was trying to explain that the Gypsy language comes from India and it’s related to some Indian dialects not to the Romanian language.

The world speaking English is not actually the problem since majority of them don’t even use it on a daily basis, they just use it coz they know you’re a foreigner. The main problem is that majority of the people from English-speaking countries do not exert enough effort to go out of their Anglo-centric cultural sphere and experience other cultures and traditions, even if they’re just visiting. American tourists for example rarely immerse themselves with the cultures of the places they visit. Many of them stay in “Westernized” areas with fast food and stuff and they just expect you to speak English to them but they do not bother learning the languages of the places they go to.

I'm from the same era and agree with you and not agree at the same time. It is incredible tool, but many youngsters use it just for playing games, spending most time at home. They are completly useless to do anything with hands. Whatever they do, they must check it in the phone. Try to cut them of from internet for one day, then you'll se what i'm talking about. We still remember how it was at our old fashion era and we would survive. But they don't know life without it. I'm worried about future. What will it be when we will need help from them when we got old. Or how expesive will be to find anyone to fix something on the roof, when our generation will go off from labour market. If your house need some maintenance don't wait with that. Do it now, cause it will be more and more expensive.

The only instance that went against this was when that guy explained the difference between Romanian and Roma, which was entertaining since we're re learning something new, nothing bad here. Bringing awareness to a cultural difference when possible is nothing comparable to 'simplistic entertainment' and if it is, then in this case it wasn't disrespectful and you're just too sensitive.

Your English is very fluent, I also want to improve my English like you and try to improve myself every day.

I was born and bred in the north of England, unfortunately the chances of learning foreign languages for an Englishmann ist basically null. Most people aren't interested because "everyone speaks English", but for those who want to learn, the barriers are that when you go abroad most people want to speak to you in English. I then decided to move to Germany with 23 years old, since living there I have also learnt French and Spanish which I frequently use in daily life. I can definitely say, learning new languages opens your mind in so many ways, it is much better to learn a culture through language than just visiting places or reading about different cultures.....communicating with people in their native language takes understanding their culture to a new level, incredible!! Maybe one day we English will be forced to learn a new world language, would be good for us I think, actually!

For me "speaking fluently" is when your personality gets through the language barrier, "speaking" is being able to communicate or participate in different conversations, and "speak a little" is basic phrases that would help you survive, if you only know how to say some words or one phrase it doesn't count imo (accent is not important in any of these cases). I would count the first 2 scenarios as speaking and the 3rd would be half as they say in this video.

I work in exhibition design and management and travelled the world working in 44 countries. I'm Scottish and only speak English (with a Scottish accent), and when I started travelling I found it very embarrassing (and typically British) that I could only speak English and in every other country I was amazed how well everyone spoke English. I made it my mission to at least try to learn to at least enough of each language to say hello, good morning/afternoon/evening, nice to meet you, how are you, I'm fine, no problem, see you tomorrow and a few other phrases. I can now speak most of these in around 15 languages and just a basic hello and thank you in many others. These include many of the main European languages and then Arabic, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Albanian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Polish. It's often just nice to be able to put a smile on people's faces when I speak a little of their language. I was a wedding photographer at a Tamil wedding in Germany four years ago and learned only one word of Tamil - Seringa = smile!! That was enough to do the job.
