I love that Continent. Hope to be there soon and forever. I'm from the US. I started my University studies at l'Université Laval (Saint-Foy Québec). I lived in a couple of Countries in Europe, as a Teen. Mexico (Puerto Peñaco) is a gem too. Love it there.

I speak Cantonese at home, used to speak to my wife, who's now my ex-wife, in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Vietnamese. I also used three of the four languages/dialects as part of my previous job. I used to interpret in Spanish for Chinese coworkers. I learned some Norwegian Bokmål as part of my trip to Norway. I learned Greek and Spanish in high school. I also learned some French while apartment -sitting for my grandparents and saw my grandfather's French grammar books. I was also somehow able to connect to a French music channel from Canada on my grandparents' TV way back when. I also learned some Tagalog when a high school classmate brought a Tagalog grammar book and showed me in school, so l learned some words. I also learned some Russian as part of some jobs. Had one high school substitute teacher who taught us Russian and another high school substitute teacher who taught us French. I also learned some African words from some people I worked with from Ghana.

Brilliant video! I am a native New Yorker, grew up only speaking English, though I can read some Hebrew, and studied Latin in high school. In college, I started learning Russian and have worked many years in Central Asia in the former Soviet Union (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan). Therefore, besides Russian, I learned intermediate Farsi (Persian)/Dari/Tajik (all very similar) and at one point I spoke intermediate Uzbek (Turkic language). When I was first learning Russian years ago, I used to stop people on the street in Manhattan if I heard them speaking Russian, so as to practice. Now, you can hear Russian on every street. However, I do stop people if I hear them speaking Tajik or Farsi, and if Uzbek or Turkish.

About 35 years ago, before I started traveling the world, I visited NYC with a friend from rural North Carolina. I was amazed by the many languages we could hear while riding the subways and that no one looked up as all the different words, and tones and rhythms came out. It was cleary nothing out of the ordinary for anyone. BUT WHEN my deeply Southern accented friend spoke up everyone on the train looked up from their newspapers & books (this was a pre-cellphone era) to see who was talking this strange language.

growing up in the NYC area i never realized how linguistically diverse it was relative to the rest of the USA. It was only when I went away to university out of state and used certain slang words that are quite common back home that I found that out, as many of them weren't necessarily slang words but just loan words from other language groups in the NY area that became slang words.

If so then yes, do your best to learn some said country’s language.

The Brooklyn accent has drastically declined, but if you go to certain parts of southern Brooklyn like Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, Bay Ridge, Bath Beach, and Dyker Heights, you can still come across the Brooklyn accent speakers especially the Italian and Jewish communities. Northern Brooklyn, forget about it, the Brooklyn accent is all totally gone in those sections as they were replaced largely by African American, Caribbean, Latino, and Hipster populations; except in some parts of Williamsburg you may still come across some Brooklyn accent speakers from some of the remaining Italian and Jewish populations.

These videos are so interesting. I feel like an American outlier. I spoke French with my mom’s side of the family, German with my dad’s side, and obviously English in school and public. French helps to understand Spanish and Portuguese. I had a long term roommate from South Africa so learned some Afrikaans that helped with the bridge with German for understanding Dutch. My grandfather was stationed in Japan and taught me some Japanese. I took 1.5 years of mandarin. And had many Korean friends in high school that taught me some Korean. And tried to learn some Russian with DuoLingo. And I know some expressions in Arabic.

Chicago has the 2nd largest Polish Community outside of Warsaw. There's Ukrainian Village. Roger's Park and West Roger's Park has Indians, Ethiopians, many West African Country Men/Women. I lived in Chicago for 33 years.

During the 2020-2021 school year, ELLs in NYC public schools communicated in 151 languages other than English. Over 61% of ELLs are Spanish speakers, followed by students who speak Chinese, Arabic, Bengali, Russian, Urdu, Haitian Creole, Uzbek, French, and Tadzhik.

@@youtubeuserzzzz "Chicago has the 2nd largest Polish Community outside of Warsaw." No way! That cliché is totally archaic. Just stop it.
Being able to read and understand a new language feels great. I can read and understand Portuguese, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Catalan. I know the very basics of German, as well. With the exception of German and Catalan, I can speak all the aforementioned languages if I'm allowed to commit lots of mistakes. 😂
Thank you so much for showing everyday people making the US great! I will simply leave it at that!
Superb video! Congratulations. Congratulazioni. Parabéns. Felicidades. Keep ut the good work
4:16 - I watched this video just because of the thumbnail with this beautiful girl! I can identify these beauties from my country easily (:

I really love this video ❤
🐢!! Thank you for the video
The guy from Brooklyn is so funny, he still has the Brooklyn/NYC accent, and he thinks he lost it...
You managed to get a good cross section of NYC. Besides English and Spanish i would say that Hebrew, French, Chinese, and Polish were the next most common. If you would have gone to Brooklyn you would have found many Russian speakers too.
Enjoyed all of the video
What a great city! And I like the way people dressed and are, love you New York ❤
🐢 Oh I miss NYC! But I think Montreal will be my next destination :p
I loved this video! It shows that - if the people who spoke are typical - Americans are primarily and exclusively English speakers (no surprise given the dominance of English in most of the world). Great program!

That's myth. I don't live in NY and speak 3. What confuses people is that we can travel 2,500 Km and only use English. However, we speak more languages than people know.

I like the sound of Hebrew
New York City is so fascinating to me because it's the molting pot of people from all around the world in just one small area
Nice video!, I stumbled as a lot of my channel viewers seeing this channel: )

Are you English fluent if yess can we friends i badly need English native friend😁
It’s unbelievable how we people are similar and how we are different
As a truck driver who grew up in Germany, I love speaking the French I learned whenever in Quebec or Louisiana. I learned Spanish from two cooks I used to work with in California who were Puerto Rican and from my Mexican friends in Texas. I don't get to speak much German here, but I love listening in on the Dutch Amish when I get a chance because it's so similar. I tried to learn Finnish because it was Tolkiens inspiration for the Elvish language in Lord of the Rings and its so melodic. As a teen I did a school exchange with Denmark so I do appreciate the other Scandinavian languages. Ofcourse anime will kind of get your foot in the door with Japanese. I had a lot of turkish and Italian class mates and Italo pop was popular in Germany in the 80ies growing up which played into learning Latin from 7th to 10th grade. I barely graduated because Latin was so difficult. Ofcourse I understand more than I can speak, but I love the instant connection you can achieve by just displaying a few phrases to a native speaker of whatever language. Last week I sang a Turkish song with someone from turkey in Wisconsin 😆. Lots of Slavic people and Russians in Chicago. I feel being a truckdriver plays right into my sense of adventure and connection even if they are brief and superficial, but I always get surprised looks because of the stereotype that truck drivers are uneducated or something. Due to the recession of 2008 there were a lot of highly educated people who had lost jobs and resorted to driving a truck for various reasons. Even met a rocket scientist once 😆. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to drive a truck tho.

@@TheNewTravel Agreed, however, I was referring to polyglots, id est: 3 or more languages spoken. Bilingualism here is practically the norm, in the greater Mtl area, so.... I may of course have a differing optic due to not being present, consequently, unable to assess all the facts.
