    I studied both (Biblical Hebrew first and modern Arabic second). The “Benyanim” of Hebrew was invaluable to helping me understand the Arabic verb measure system. I am also amazed at how many overlapping roots there are.

    In my opinion, the EU should consider making it the official language of the EU. Neutral and easy to learn for Europeans.

    Gratuliere für die hervorragende Erklärung !!!! As a native German speaker, for me, at the beginning, it was almost impossible to catch a single word. After more than two years in Switzerland, I am just starting to understand 20% of it. But it is probably because I use telepathy. Sincerely, I had to deal with Dutch (Holland) people, when I was living in Spain and I could understand 50% of what they spoke. But in Switzerland they even don't understand the challenge that means for German native speakers and also students to even understand a simple sentence : phonetically and grammatically it is so far away and they have NO WRITTEN RULES, that I will learn Russian or Chinese easier than Berndeutsch (it is even stranger than Zürcher Deutsch)....

    I'm portuguese from Portugal, but I live in France now for more than 10years. When I lived in Portugal I had some brazilian friends and I remember I had to speak really slow for them to understand me, I got what they were saying just fine though and even learned some different words they use. Here in France I noticed if someone learns or speaks portuguese it's the brazilian one and I do agree for foreign people it's way easier to learn that one cuz it's the easiest to understand, we portugal folks cut too much of what we speaking, even tho I prefer my portuguese of course, but its hard for ppl to understand xD

    As a Bavarian speaker from the Alps, my brain is used to dialectal changes in grammar and pronunciation, and Luxembourgish is really easy to understand for me (at least the examples shown here). I know from experience though that people who only know modern standard German and no dialect are less flexible and probably would have a lot more trouble.

    Thanks for this installment! I’ll answer the second of your two questions: I began learning German in my early teens in high school and had the opportunity to spend a few months near Hannover one summer, and again a couple of years later… Fortunately, the local dialect is the same as ‘newscaster German,’ so that helped! Fast forward: many years later I had a a couple of older German immigrant gents ask me where in Germany I was from and how long I’d been in the US…😁👍

    If I had enough money i would bay a car dos'nt translate into german >Wenn ich genug Geld hätte, würde ich mir ein Auto kaufen< , 'cause there is no "myself" in the english phrase!! instead, the same phrase you used in Dutch is to use in german too!! otherwise it would mean "If I had enough money I woukd bay ' Myself' a car" don't overcomplicate things . And, as a west-gerrman, i can understand dutch nearly as my native dialect from the river Mosel region.

    Some things you say are not all that acurate. For example you say we Flemish don't use 'studeren' but 'blokken' to say 'to study', however we use both words. Studeren is the most used word. Blokken however is mostly used by university (or the slightly easier 'hogeschool') students because it refers to a very intense studying session or period.

    First of all, thank you for this video, which reveals a lot of historical and linguistic information But the political issue cannot be ignored here, so I say to foreigners so that they understand the issue: Chinese, Indians, and Latinos live now in America, and they enjoy most rights, but would an American accept that any foreigner transfer his country's flag, laws, and property? Of course not, but living in it is acceptable. This is what is happening in Palestine. The Jews have been and are still living there for centuries under Islamic rule, and they have all rights as citizens, but when their concept changed and they wanted another flag, other laws, and the property of others, the indigenous population rose up and defended their rights. This is what is happening in Palestine from an Islamic perspective. You may reject this view, but it is confirmed historically and legally. Therefore, standing with the oppressed is a humanitarian duty, and not supporting the oppressor is a moral duty, and no Muslim will seek to reject the life or existence of a Jew. This is what they promote.
