New York City, how many languages do you speak?

Drop a comment with what city you'd like me to visit next 🐢

Everyone feels like a main charecter in NYC.

I remember when I first moved to NYC, walking down Canal St, I heard primarily English, then Italian & Spanish, then Mandarin & Cantonese, all in the span of 1 mile. So many different languages and cultures; very much shows how special it is here

I can speak Belarusian, Russian, Polish, English and I learn Swedish. It's so cool to be able to understand and speak different languages, it's like living several lives in one

Incredible how Spanish is much more important than I thought in New York. Even that it is my native language.

As a native French speaker, I'm very surprised by the fact that so many people can speak French in NYC, it's very interesting

8:00 I think Danielle is the type of person who says I don't speak language X but then is able to hold a conversation in that language just fine.

It's amazing how all these people is very articulate with great social communication skill

i am a native New Yorker and am a professional translator. I am fluent in 5 languages and speak bits and pieces of another 10 or 12. That said, I have all the local merchants in my neighborhood (Brooklyn Heights) trained to teach me new phrases in their languages (when they are other than English). I do the same at my gym where I work out every day and which is exceptionally diverse. I love the linguistic diversity of NYC!

I think you make people feel heard, which helps bring out their voice in these short clips. Some cities I'd recommend : Beirut, Marseille, Sarajevo

slavic languages are so underrated...if you knew one of them, you would understand all other slavic languages 70-80%

Back in the 1930's you would have heard alot of Yiddish spoken in NYC like you hear Spanish today.

sou do Brasil,muito bom ver um brasileiro nos representando !

The NY accent is alive & well buddy.. Come thru to Staten Island. We're holdin it down 🇮🇹 🇺🇲

Your channel is so simple in nature, but it becomes quite interesting to watch, and see all the different people going about the cities on any given day. I like it.

I’m so grateful to share earth with these people. So many different cultures that I get to experience, so cool

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.

This is easily my favourite video about New York on YouTube. So easy-going and smooth, I feel like it really represents what the city is about

I made it to the end and really love this video. The things these people say that they love about New York are the things I also love about it, especially the diversity. As someone who grew up hearing two languages, it was my goal as I grew up to learn as many as I could. Like the lady toward the end, unfortunately I don't have a chance to practice so I've lost much of the languages I learned. It was great to see this. Thank you for making this video!

Love this series! Keep up the good work!
