    I said it on the original video and I'll say it again: The older Irishman's eyes, when you started speaking Gaelic, betrayed how he really felt about you. THEN, he was so thoroughly impressed that he HAD to test you with an insult like "Go back to America!" Quickly insulting him back in his own language secured you that high five which was basically a public display of affection from an "Old Irishman"... UNHEARD-OF!!

When he started speaking Maasai and everyone instantly just warms up to him and starts smiling you can just see how much they appreciate him speaking their language.

    Hearing someone actually speak Pennsylvanian Dutch was awesome. I live right by Lancaster and always knew of the language but never what they were saying

    me personally, when i hear someone speaking a different language, and then switch up to perfect English as if it were their native lingo, it impresses me.

    I'd like to see you learn Basque. It predates any language in the indo-European tree. I'd like to see how difficult it would be to grasp something unchanged and uninfluenced by its neighbours for thousands and thousand of years

    But they were influenced. In fact, 4500 years ago invaders from Germany repopulated all of Iberia and the British Isles, but for some reason the invaders continued to use Basque, just like as the Etruscans, that are Indo Europeans but speak the language of the natives before them. This explains why several Indo-European toponyms existed in Iberia even before the arrival of the Celts. The true Basque without any Indo European influence is the "proto Aquitanian ", which is a language reconstruction that shows that words in Basque were much longer and today's version is a shortening version.
