The Matrix Glitched when I Suddenly Spoke their Language

People on the street had a seizure when they suddenly heard me speak their language. I went to Taiwan and talked to people on the streets in different Asian languages and you won't believe this actually happened.

    I know everyone wants to do everything on their own with no help, but it won't work well with learning Asian languages. If I only self-studied, I wouldn't even be half as good as I am today. Start taking this seriously with a tutor and learn to read and write here: Japanese: www.japanesepod101.com/member/go.php?r=810124&l=%2F Chinese: www.chineseclass101.com/member/go.php?r=453861&l=%2F Korean: www.koreanclass101.com/member/go.php?r=2794890&l=%2F

One day we were helping them move and her friend was spinning in circles talking to her husband in japanese, my wife in tagalog and me in english. I was just in awe that she could do that.

    When you're learning languages, your brain starts making connections between them. The first extra language you learn is a bit more difficult than the subsequent languages, because technically you have to "rewire" your brain into it. But after that it becomes a bit easier. Of course it's easier learning related languages, so if for example you learn spanish, it'll be a piece of cake to learn italian/portuguese/romanian/french etc. If you learn a germanic language, like swedish for example, you'll easily jump to danish/norwegian/dutch afterwards. There is a challenge learning a language that is completely unrelated to the ones you speak, but then you just do a bit of rewiring again. I have only taken japanese lessons a few years ago, and it didn't seem that difficult. What was difficult with it, is that I had to shake off the mentality of other languages. Like, in my native language, there are tenses for almost every single moment in time that you might be talking about, while in japanese they only have 2 tenses, and their continuous forms. It was hard to get my mind around the fact that I don't have to be too specific. Once you get that mentality working though, it becomes easier. Writing was a bitch, but oh well ;) Polyglots don't have super powers, they have discipline, curiosity and determination. Everyone can do it, at their own pace. Don't get discouraged about learning a new language, it's always very rewarding when you get to use it - even if it is to shock the people around you :P

I never knew so many Japanese visited and even went to University in Taiwan. I hope he’s successful on his studies and the girl too in Seattle. It’s interesting how you always seem to find language learners like you wherever you go. The law of attraction I suppose? 😅 I hope you enjoyed your trip and all the memories you made along the way 💜

    @@stevenhull5025 I've lost at least 3 channels in the last 6 months that just stopped making content without warning.. Pearl is actually the most transparent youtuber i've seen when I did a binge watch of her videos when i became fan earlier last year (i think) and she actually explained how the revenue works - this is why so many YTubers are doing patreon or doing the donate buttons nowadays. She is in no way hitting those numbers and that was when she was doing the "its so shocking" videos, and had more viewers. Most ppl hate YT and use Ad Blockers and some of us have subscriptions. The only reason I started subscribing to channels and making sure i watched an entire YT all the way through was because Pearl explained the ins/outs on one of her vids. KZread doesnt pay if the entire vid isnt watched; or sometimes if an ad is skipped; or if the people watch but aren't subscribed; you get a diff amt if your watch number vs subscribed and watched ratio is different;-- BASICALLY anything for google to not pay. I rarely donate, but I've done it like 4 or 5 times in the last 2 yrs after noticing my faves have less content or not coming back at all. (and even when one of my favorite KZreadrs was getting 3 mill views 8 yrs ago, he would show his check, it was only about 1400-2000)

    Study Old English and German so you can get a feel for how similar all the Germanic languages really are. Here's a quick and dirty trick. The Normans invaded England in 1066. Think of all the things that already existed in England at that time. Those words will be pretty much the same in all the Germanic languages today. Also, sometimes less common English words will be the more common ones in the other languages. Example. You don't live in a place, you DWELL in a place. another word for bottle is flask. Start reading the history of the English language. Try reading Shakespeare. Another tactic is to look up Anglish, that's English with all the Latin borrowings removed.

This perfectly coincides with my basic Icelandic that I have learnt from my wife. Words like "kald" = cold and "fisk" = fish etc. I find English an easy language to learn as I studied it in school in Japan, when I finished university, I worked abroad in Australia and UK (England), I guess the birthplace of the English language. Thank you for the advice, I shall try reading more old English as a precursor. I really envy people that can speak multiple languages so easily, such as Oriental Pearl and most likely, yourself.

    You're so amazing. My husband speaks 4 languages, and after all of these years, I still only speak my native tongue. Some people got it, some people don't. You have a super power! Love you videos! Love how you spread the joy of reaching across cultures.

    ​@@James_zai_dongbeithat's just not true. I've been trying to learn Spanish for years and I still can't get the hang of it. Some people learn quicker than others.
