#Medellin #Colombia #languages
Amazing to see how dedicated Caroline is to her job that she learnt bits and phrases of all the major languages. Impressive.

come to brazil!!!
If my country wasn't the mess that it is now, I would tell you to go to Ecuador but skip it for now. Try in another year or two when things hopefully improve, God willing.
If you come to Montevideo, don't forget to write to me, I like to show the capital of Uruguay and share any popular food..
They do not speak Spanish, they speak Colombian
Genial video! Felicitaciones!! - Te recomiendo venir a Cusco, en Perú! La parte de la ciudad (downtown) es cosmopolita!! Hay gente de todas partes del mundo, y se habla varias lenguas cada día; pero, principalmente, español e inglés. - Most of people there, as a matter of fact, speak English very well :)
Hi Daniel!! Thank you so much for visiting Colombia, and specifically Medellin! I am a first generation American, both of my parents are Colombian, though I’ve only visited Colombia a few times in my life. I’ve been wanting to visit and experience Medellin, so thank you for providing this “preview” of the city. I would so want to connect with the lady who is a tour guide, that may be something I would like to pursue doing!!
Me I guess 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Probably one of my favorite videos so far! Great job. The tour guide woman was awesome. The art was beautiful and the people seems so wonderful and inviting. The roster had beautiful colors. I watched this video at the end of the work day and it totally gave me a smile!!!! I 'm always so excited when you post a new video.
What a great guy Jake is! I could feel his energy through the screen! Incredible! 🙏
Mexican here, it’s nice to see people from Colombia, they are a always very friendly, they are always smiling, talking, even dancing! Great people, and regarding to their language, their accent is very interesting and easy to recognize, very different to the accent we have here in Mexico, I’d love to know more people from there and visit their country in the future! Saludos amigos colombianos, vengan a mi país, aquí siempre serán bienvenidos ! 👋🏻
As a Mexican American student, idk about friendly lol. The columbian immigrants are VERY rowdy and bad mouthed. Not only that but some are even getting into drugs at my school. We should deport them lol
You're on of those huh? Sad human. Also, at least spell Colombian correctly. What is columbian??@@localmilfchaser6938
Yo soy Italiano en mi sueno eres de visitar Mexico y Colombia, me encanta mucho la cultura y la jente..muy similar con la cultura italiana
Los colombianos y los mexicanos nos queremos mucho. Hay un cariño auténtico y eso es muy bonito ❤.
@@kurtwild9323 ciao amico! Io posso parlare la tua lingua, secondo me, la piu bella do Tutto il mondo, é anche per me un sogno conoscere Italia, spero andare a Milano il prossimo anno! Sei benvenuto in Mexico, ci sono tantissimi belli posti e cittá per conoscere.. Ci vediamo qui! Saludos desde Queretaro, México! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
You need come to Brazil, the people here as many friendly as Colombian people.
I never visited Colombia but the people and the country looks Amazing, I wanna visit there one day. Nice video! Congratulation!
I would like to film that video but might need some help as I don't speak Portuguese
@@TheNewTravel I see, but as I said the people here it’s friendly and will try to understand you, and you know a little bit of spanish it’s very similar to Portuguese and of course the people will understand you if you speak slowly, It’s good to learn some phrases and word before come, but don’t worry about don’t speak Portuguese very well.
@@TheNewTravel you should stay here in colombia for the carnival but specifically in barranquilla city, is a blast and always come many ppl from differents countries around the world coudl be nice content for u channel, :)
No no, don’t go to Brazil. Very ignorant country.
canada here, 🇨🇦 i’m just so shocked at how friendly the people are there, medellin looks like a very nice place
Omg this artist guy is so talented!
His painting of 'León' from the movie 'The Professional' is marvelous 😍✨
🐢 What a beautiful, vibrant place! As always, you do a great job conveying the feeling of the place through your filming.
Hey Dan! Great to see that you are finally venturing out to Latin American cities. Jake and Carilyn were really impressive! Jake also seems like a super stand-up guy. Greetings from NYC!
The best video that I ever seen so far in this channel!!!
keep going Spanish videos
graciasss
Hi, nice video, I loved how you show the real people. Colombia 🇨🇴 is a great country with so many good things to show. Thank you for doing that.
Lived in Medellin for half the year in 2018, visited Comuna 13 too. I came back a few months ago and missed it. It's a beautiful city. Go to La Migueria - the best bakery there!
Lovely country and people💛
As you might noticed it, people in Colombia don't use to speak another language but Spanish, this is related to all countries close to us speak Spanish as well. It's not necessary like it is in Europe, for example. Few days ago, I just saw your video talking about your experience in Medellín, what an amazing video. I'm glad you came back, always welcome to the best coffee land.
Yo soy de España y aquí tampoco se necesita hablar inglés. La gente que lo habla es porque ha dado clases privadas, intercambios en el extranjero o cursos bilingües o de enfoque internacional.
Si vas a visitar lugares muy turísticos de mi país, puedes manejarte solo con inglés. Pero si pretendes comunicarte con la gente o visitar bien el país, necesitas aprender español. Incluso en los lugares turísticas la gente encuentra necesario aprender español (por los restaurantes, el transporte...)
Los Hispanos tienden a solo ser monolingues ya que el español ya es un idioma internacional y que se habla en muchas partes por mucha gente. Es el tercer idioma más hablado del mundo y en Hispanoamérica todos lo hablamos. No es necesario aprender otro a menos que so esté en frontera con EEUU o Brasil
Well done bro, great video, keep making such beautiful videos, showing the real world from every single country you visit.
Thanks again from Bulgaria.
First gen Colombian American here- love that you went to Medellin! beautiful city and lovely people. From my experience visiting there (numerous times throughout my life) it seems majority of Colombians are monolingual, but regardless I think this video shows such a great glimpse of the beauty of its people and how welcoming they are. Was just there last month. Love it! Thank you for this.
They seem like nice good people:)
A lot of beautiful women in your country too 🙌🏽
Respect to Colombia from bottom of my heart.... They know to make a foreigner make feel at home... With the language that they know..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love these videos. Really gives you a glimpse into people's lives there.
We appreciate your effort and time making this video. I’m experiencing and learning about different cultures of different people.
This might be one of your best videos yet! Loved meeting these people through your lens, Colombia looks like a truly amazing place.
Dan might’ve fallen in love at 6:05 🐢
Wow so nice people! Gotta go to Medellin some day! The kindness of the people is similar to Costa Rica ❤
Great video Daniel, greetings from Panama🇵🇦
ended with such a beautiful message!
I speak kurdish English Arabic. I love your content ❤ keep going
Wow , thought i was the only kurdish person here!
Where are you from?
Nice interviews!
🐢 loved the video, dan!! hope you can come and visit more south american countries. greetings from manta, ecuador 😊🇪🇨
We love these videos! So cool that you are in South America now🙂
man this video makes me want to visit Colombia even more
That was phenomenal, young man! :)
esta ciudad se ve bellísima... tengo muchas ganas de visitarla
🐢 Iwent to Medellin 15 years ago with my exes family. I spent time visiting an all girls school where they asked if American schools were really like how it was portrayed in the movies: cliques and Americans don’t care as much about school/study. In the 2000s a lot of movies geared towards a younger teen/young adult demographic put a lot of emphasis on the social structures and hierarchies of attending high school. I loved visiting Medellin even though at the time I was unaware of the dangers in those days (many shops and places like McDonalds had militia with guns stand at the door). But I was struck by how friendly the people were and how the parks were filled with entire families (grandparents, parents, kids) spending time together and picnicking… something you rarely see in America. Also, the sheer beauty of the mountainous city was unforgettable. My grandmother was born in Panama and grew up in Bogata before she married at 15y.o. In America. It was nice to see Medellin as a glimpse into Colombian life even though I couldn’t go to Bogata. When dancing in Medellin an older man in the family I was staying at referred to me as “costeña”. Maybe someday I will get the chance to go back and visit.
Hoy en día Medellín está muy cambiada desde hace 15 años para acá se ha visto más progreso y seguridad, no vas a ver personas armadas por las calles a menos que sean policías, delincuencia común siempre existirá en todas partes del mundo es de tener cuidado. Saludos de Medellin
Awesome, thank you so much for your hard work and motivating me to work on my Spanish more haha 💜 I admire your confidence because it really takes a lot of courage, I would probably be so scared to actually talk with native speakers lol
Dan you have some great people in this video. The tour guide was amazing with her language skills.
I taught English in Mexico for many years. Latin America is not Europe when it comes to knowing languages. (Though it may be a step above the US.) Most people speak only one language. But you'll find many people who speak some English.
As you know I'm living in Brazil. A good Brazilian friend (who speaks English quite well) told me that 10% of Brazilians can speak English. 5% speak Spanish. And 2% speak another language.
lets be realistic. despite the stereotype you have in the US much more ppl speaking other languages than in Latin America. Spain and Portugal were also shit (like France btw.) in the 20. century but since then (especially Portugal which is now under the best 10 non-native English speaking countries in the world) the are evolving fast (France sucks still (as every online gamer knows, in fact it get surpassed by one other european country after the other). Anyway, in Latin America most people didnt travel abroad, if anything just get more about their neighboring countries. The situation is also a bit similar to the US. On one side the US has Canada, another big country and wherever you go there is English except little French or other language enclaves) - on the other side Mexico with Spanish. In the Latin American world there is mostly Spanish (in Brasil of course Portuguese). Ordinary ppl just usually speak one language. The stereotypes about the US vs. Europa are in reality the stereotypes between the most developed western countries. Also other stereotypes. Do you really believe that if one travels around most parts of the world and ask people that you get eloquent answers? are you aware that most ppl in most less developed countries even often dont know from which countries Berlin, London or Paris are the capital? even if this was far more worse in the 20. century you still have many people who even dont know the own country they live in (and this without rigging some videos for clickbait like some fake videos about the 'dumb' us). Mexico should also be much better with English with US and Canada as neighbor - AND English as the global language. It is worse if a Non-English-speaking country does not know English than the other way around, because only English is realistically relevant. Thats why i dont blame UK or the US etc. for learning less other languages than for instance Europeans (because also in Europe basically all talk in reality with English to each other nowadays. People who dont know that are idiots). And thats also the reason why Latin America is still far behind - most live still in a Spanish speaking bubble without much outer contact. But really to blame are countries like France, being already since a longer time evolved with a high education system but performing so bad (see English proficiency ranking). To long to self-centric. In the 20. century most of central western/northern Europe traveled already a lot (Germany was travel master of the world for a long time and maybe is still - likeminded countries imilar) - while France stayed mostly at home. This changed now with the younger generation (but still many only reach Spain). Such things and stupid language laws (ideology) had let France fall back. Spain and Portugal were for similar reasons back but have at least the excuse of a) were much less developed (partly still under dictator ship) which also means poorer a worse education system etc... and b) now catching up much faster.
Thanks very informative Great content 👍
A lot better than my Spanish! 😂 I’m still only A1 though…
perfect, keep on rollin'🙂
Wonderful place, kind people
I hope that your trip here will be amazing enjoy my country buddy
medellin have many colors very beautiful city
Be the reason someone believes in good people. This is what your videos connotation on me.
I directly recognised The Bogotan Guy . His accent his soooo from Bogota Even in english. Love it !!
You have to go to Brazil. Rio de Janeiro and Florianópolis are good cities for videos. People speak Portuguese, but many understand Spanish. In some of these cities, English is spoken due to tourism, etc."
Beautiful video 🐢
great video :) visit Lima and Cusco too, and try to visit other south american cities, you will learn different spanish accents. Genial tu esfuerzo con el español, amo el estilo natural de tus entrevistas.
Hi Daniel,
I really like your projects. I think what you do is very valuable and gives us great insight into different cultures and places.
I wanted to give honest feedback specifically for this video, I guess you created it quickly and didn't take as much care as before.
Details like camera shaking, the frame moving a lot and not remaining stable, dust or stains in front of the camera sometimes, editing style (you used to add some cuts around that place) are slightly noticeable.
I hope you bring new videos like your old quality in the future, we love following you🍀
Wow, out of all your videos, this is the coolest. I'm canadian too and this video is really but really cool.
Thanks!
One of your best videos so far, Latin American people are always so friendly, it’s amazing to feel so close their culture and to their traditions, I invite you to visit Queretaro city, is a city in the middle of Mexico which has had an enormous growth in the last decade, I think you will love it, and if you do, feel free to tell me, I can help you with the logistics and lodging (I work in a hotel), amazing video Dan, greetings from Queretaro, Mexico, saludos y mis mejores deseo amigo! 👋🏻
🇦🇷🇪🇸🇺🇸🇺🇾❤
Nice video 👍🏼 greetings from Indonesia 🙏🏽🇮🇩
Nice vídeo Dan, come to brazil one time
if you visit Bolivia on region called Chapare (Villa Tunari, Shinahota, Chimore) places where the population are between 10 - 50 thousand, the people talk around 3.5 languages on average. Commonly they talk Spanish and two native languages (Aymara, Quechua) and a litle bit of english.
Thanks for come to my country ❤and share a little bit of Medellin greetings 🫡 dude ❤I love your Channel enchante

Great job!! Visiting perú too ❤️🇵🇪

Carolyn is amazing 👍🏻
Great video. I'm also making videos in Medellin and it's good get inspired by others.
Such simple and wonderful people, looks like a fantastic place. Curious about the famous cuisine :)
I'm sure it was intended as a compliment but referring to a group of people as "simple" is extremely insulting and pretty ignorant on your part; just because you're not able to see the complexities and intricasies of their culture for whatever reason does not in any way make them simple.
@@Mofudos I'm Colombian. Yes, "simple" can have your meaning. But, simple can also mean uncomplicated.
The word used by the lady is "sencilla". The translation he wrote is literally accurate: simple.
He also offered the sinonim she offered: humble / "humilde".
I trust you're able to get the context.
@@Anil18834 thanks for the response; I don’t have any problem with the translation provided by Daniel but I was actually referring to the comment from the user above.
Aunque sí, hablo español para me es un poco raro llamar a alguien sencillo porque esa palabra jamás es un cumplido en inglés pero prefiero verlo del lado positivo como tú.
of ourse it was a compliment! bad choice of word(s), didn't mean to offend@@Mofudos
@@DeepeyeLV no worries at all; apologies for my snarky response as well
La gente muy amable y preciosa. Saludos de Inglaterra :o)
I'd like to see you try it in our country, Azerbaijan, nevertheless great video as always Dan

Will you marry me???
¿Visitas Colombia y esperas que la gente te hable en inglés?
Si no quieres molestarte en aprender otros idiomas, puedes quedarte y visitar el norte de Europa, seguro que allí vas a ser bien servido con tu querido idioma inglés.
Esperar que los demás te hablen inglés para no hacer ningún esfuerzo en mejorar tu dominio de un idioma tan importante como el español es una de las cosas más irrespetuosas que he visto en la vida.
¡Me encanta que algunos de ellos no hablan inglés! Los estadounidenses no aprenden el español, así que no tenemos que aprender lo suyo.
que los europeos aprendan ahora español JAJA , saben que la joda está aquí en latam
Faz no Brasil 🇧🇷
Go to Brazill

Carilyn spoke Cantonese Chinese, so she must have worked with Southern Chinese travellers like those from Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia etc.
Pourq tu est de retour rn colombie si tu as peur tout le temps.... ?
No he empezado a ver el vídeo, pero seguro la mayoría solo habla castellano
Thats true people only speak spanish there

Come to Dominican Republic
По-моему, это очень странно, простые люди на улице в разных городах мира говорят, то есть якобы владеют сразу несколькими языками, при этом в сети есть ролики, в которых как удивительное чудо показывают как звёзды голливуда едва едва, с запинками дают интервью или произносят короткую речь на одном иностранном для них языке, и то потому что часто это был язык их предков.

colombia seem nice at least if you avoid the scopamine scams, most latin americans can learn french so they fit easily into montreal imho. i met some venezuelans too.
