I ask strangers in Toronto what languages they speak. As you can see, Toronto is a very multicultural city full of languages from all around the world. Hope you enjoy, and you may support my work if you chose to :)

    Speaking another language is a gift. Don't ever let someone talk down on you, just because you can speak a different language. We all should learn more than just our own language, there is a whole world out there to explore.
  • I like that the last person asked "how fluently"? That makes a huge difference in how many languages a person "really" speaks. Also, a person can read more languages than he speaks, since when one reads, one does not have to form the language's phonology, just understand it. Good video.

    Sadly in "Toronto" Is Native Mohawk (Tkaronto) For : "Where there are trees standing in the water" And yet you will not find many Native people in Toronto And even fewer that still speak the tribe's languages. Gives you a grasp of people that speak other foreign languages from either being from another country Or having parents of a country that speak it at home. I speak English, Français, Nehiyawok. - Cree. I am Metis which also has its own blended language that also forms a dialect with Acadian French

    In Belgium we have 3 national languages (dutch, french and german) so everyone learns at least 4 in school (including english). So most people here know at least 2-3 pretty well. People with an immigration background will often add one to that (arabic, greek, italian, turkish etc.) Always wonderful to be in a place where such a diversity is possible.

    The lady at the final of the video was really impresive. She's just enjoying learning.
  • @earendel8873
    the last lady, it's so comforting to look at her 💚
  • @hjazimi
    So oddly satisfying to watch this video . I for sure have forgotten how good it feels to talk to a stranger and learn something about their life . Thank you for sharing this

    the woman who spoke latin at the end seemed really interesting I wanted you to ask more question hahaha, good video
  • @bormotun
    The old lady at the end of the video is very cool. So humble and down to earth when she mentions she's reading The Hobbit in Latin.
  • It's nice to see the older woman at the end of the video use her mind to still learn and not be giving up on life hope to be the same at her age.
  • @KyleRoth
    I love that you do this kind of on-the-street investigative reporting. It really gives the feel for a place.

    I also live in Toronto, and I think it's interesting that you didn't find any person who speaks Portuguese and English considering that there are many Brazilians here.

    3:44 this guy is adorable. I can't help but smile looking at him.

    I'm not from Canada, but everyone shares their experience, so I'll do it too :)) I speak only two languages ​​- Russian (native) and English. But I also speak some French (from school), Spanish and Latin (from university). I'm currently learning Japanese at a Japanese language school so I can speak it too but I'm far from being fluent lol I really like to learn foreign languages. I noticed that when switch between them, the personality slightly changes haha ​​at least it happens to me all the time. When I speak my native language I’m harsh and quite serious, when I speak English I’m more talkative and friendly, when I speak Japanese I get a little shy and very polite haha
  • Personally I speak 3 languages (Uzbek, English, Korean) fluently and two others (Russian and Turkish) at an elementary level. Speaking another language is a huge gift and I benefited from it a lot.
  • The woman at 4:47 seems like such a joyful, kind person! These videos are nice- it's cool to see a look into strangers' lives. Very human and reflective.

    8:06 - What a lovely lady! I dont know do you do this intentionally, but you edit these videos in a way that they touch a person who watches it. You always put some landscape scene in between and you always put right persons in right places in a vids. There is no heavy editing here, like adding background music, effects, some special faetures...we just see people, hear them speaking, background sounds coming from cars, nature, etc, and yet all your videos feels like they have a soul. I really enjoy watching it cuz of that. Keep up the good work. Cheers :)
