2:21 -- it should be "but history written by who for whom" This can't be undone in this great video I feel like crying 😭😭😭
Comment from : @Sam-u2o5s

Studying foreign languages is an interesting and useful endeavor It is a way to kick down linguistic walls and expand ones Universe It stimulates the mind I have never thought it to be painful 😊
Comment from : @timdavis7845

very beautifull; thanks ❤
Comment from : @MarcoLucad

What a great video not only are you encouraging me to become more culturally aware that you said everything so eloquently
Comment from : @LindaFabuloso

it seems like your title is sarcastic foreign languages have broadened your horizon, even if your petty neighbors think fondness of learning foreign languages could make you an enemy brdescartes wrote a book called On the Improvement of the Understanding, and he reasoned that when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and learn Italian This is why Italy is teeming with multilingual people, who not so much by missionary zeal, but by delighting in seeing as much as they can, have learned so muchbrthere is a well-known quote, by someone, that the world is like a book, and those who never traveled read only one page i think you could generalize it and say that the other pages are in different languages, and those who never learned another language wouldn't even be able to read the other pages that must make them feel ignorant

Learn to draw instead brA global language for lifebrAnd far more impressive skill than speaking all the languages together

I am a learner of English as a foreign language and want to share the following about pronunciation of the words masochist and masochism with you:brmasochist /ˈmasəkɪst/,brmasochism /ˈmasəkɪz(ə)m/brAs you might notice both of them do not have the ch /tʃ/ sound, as in chair /tʃɛ(ə)r/ Their ch is pronouced in a way similar to scheme /skiːm/, Christ /krʌɪst/, and schizophrenia /ˌskɪtsə(ʊ)ˈfriːniə/

Comment from : @cyberbublik2005

Most of the people, I suppose, do not care about poetry, history and so onThe just want to communicate with some friends, family or buisiness partners Their interest in other cultures is usually very superficial like most of the tourist perhaps now, as the digital translators are more and more efficient, common and cheap the deeper dimension of learning will become more appreciated

Often I feel anxious spending all that time learning languages because I feel like it’s pointless, so thank you for reminding me why i love it and why I do it
Comment from : @PRINCENOIR-t2c

I'm glad other people find meaning in this To me it sounds like a long, unnecessarily dramatic emo rant I'm fluent in four languages, can read in another two, and am in the process of learning two more I love to learn and discover new questions, new uncertainties, new confusion "Cultural schizophrenia?" Nothing of the sort I choose to be syncretism embodied I relish being an outsider, yet I also know how to find belonging It is as close as one can get, I think, to spiritual fulfillment -- to be on a journey of discovery that you know you will never complete
Comment from : @fikatrouvaille3670

Nah gotta disagree Too dramatic approach looking at learning process lol you're only a "masochist" because you DEFINE it so 🙄

Learn the speech not reading
Comment from : @mohammadChristian

What a beautiful & accurate delivery Knowledge & overcoming cultural barriers is even more important when politicians & media sell lies & division, especially in the West On the other hand, country’s leadership can spread the message of “Liberté, égalité, fraternité" (“liberty, equality, fraternity") like we had in Yugoslavia That’s why Yugoslavia was a thorn in the side of the West

Comment from : @pellesvansl

I just embarked into a new language learning odyssey weeks ago and this video was so perfectly timed, so on point I needed these words to feel brave and be aware of the challenge I just summoned into my life I will do this not just for personal gain but to expand myself and be able to help and understand how humanity has evolved and self-destructed at the same time Thank you

This is the type of internet that I want to see more in my feed that my parents paid for!
Comment from : @Dushi_Sushi

It could be nice if there were only 3 languages in the world In this way, that would increase our productivity, because we can learn other skills instead, like programming languages, for example What do you think?

Once, »passion« meant »suffering« It still is defined as something that's looking in the other direction than reason This is the way

The phenomenon of cultural schizophrenia isn't just limited to language learning I think it's become a characteristic quality of the modern society living in a hyper globalised world

Stop it Learning languages is for training your brain and for the sake ok knowing Knowledge doesn't match the sense of life

Comment from : @NatureSycho

Comment from : @buzzy5244

Haha, people who don’t want to take the time or make the effort to learn a new language clicked on this, looking for an excuse to excuse their laziness

Comment from : @Halalhit

The idea that you become a tribe of each language you learn is absolutely profound, and so true that it's almost uncanny to an experience I have felt yet not been able to qualify
Comment from : @thebeezkneez7559

I’m assuming I’m not the only one feeling reassured and validated by all the comments that the other language masters have written here

Comment from : @jinewen3858

this made me tear up well said <3
Comment from : @mahny

Personally, I find the pursuit of knowledge and learning other languages to be a net positive Of course, you can choose the so called bliss of ignorance, but do you really want to be ignorant and risk insensitivity to others? For me, learning that my ideas about the world might be wrong excites me because there is more to be known The end game isn't to know everything, but have a basic understanding That makes you a more worldly and cultured person

i live in Redmond btw, learning languages and traveling has been a big part of my life since around 1997 at this point i see everything completely differently than americans and that has separated and isolated me from almost all the americans that i know

Tangentially related but I wanted to share thisbrI am 19 years old and I speak four languages I lived in threee different countries, and interacted with four different cultures for most of my first 18 years of life And I feel like I don't belong to any of thembrCurrently, I live in my mother's country I had traveled here a couple of times before moving in, and I'm fluent in the language Most locals assume I'm a local as well, without question brBut I'm not brAt the same time, I'm also not a foreigner I fit in the country, but I don't belong to it, and it doesn't belong to mebrAnd while this is not what this video is about, it still speaks to mebrI never knew how to put my feelings to word until I head the term "cultural schizophrenia"
Comment from : @yumenotambourin

I come back and watch this video a few times a year I first saw it back in 2021 One thing I noticed when etudying another language is that it forced me to dial back and study my own native language as well By the time I gained fluency in my second language, I actually gained a greater passion and interest in my first language too Now I love every language I speak and treat them with great respect
