I had a conversation with my Grandma that included English, French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, (and we also touched on Arabic and Greek).
We spoke a little bit about what it's like moving to different countries, and adapting to a new culture or language. I hope you enjoy.

As a native Spanish speaker, I have to say… wow. That argentino accent it’s so clean and the idioms that you use too, it seems to me that your personality changes between all the languages? it’s pretty cool all the language variety in your whole family

ella habla 95% argento jajaj suena a cualquier abuela argentina, muchas de las cuales no tienen el castellano como su lenguaje nativo.
Él suena a un italiano que aprendió castellano en Argentina, pero pensándolo quizás su acento haya variado temporalmente por el tema ese de que justo al momento de hacer el video estaba aprendiendo italiano
@@licanueto Es lo que pasa cuando hablas 5 mas idiomas sabes
Im from the netherlands one politician here speaks also like 5 or 6 languages. She gave as advice to young people: learn a language, because everytime you do that you add a new personality, and ofc develop yourself.
realized the same abilities, he plays different personalities between languages
Justamente el acento del chico en español suena un poco raro, tiene un poco mas de tonada italiana que el nativo actual de la capital.
As an Argentinian person (especially one who hasn't lived there for over 8 years), hearing you speak Spanish in our dialect was so heartwarming. The second I heard your grandma say "la Argentina" instead of just Argentina I melted. Thank you so much for sharing this
Dialecto =/= jerga.
Where do you live? I'm starting to learn to speak Spanish (with a Latin accent) because I'm from Brazil and I think it's easier for me
jajajajja la jerga de un idioma no es un dialecto, estás diciendo que el español argentino es un dialecto por dios cuanta ignorancia.
@@Sarahlynn___ En vez de jactarte en tu conocimiento humillando a otro por una equivocación, es mejor enseñarle cómo se dice. Un ignorante no es quién no sabe sino quién no quiere saber, de ahí el "ignora-". No crees? Hay que tener más respeto por la gente. Ya que estamos, por qué no nos explicas la diferencia?

Totally on your side ❤️
Interesting how her parents, and the parents of her husband, died. Alone in Argentina and Italy? Whom has she respected then?
Exactamente eso estaba pensando. Respeto mucho a tu señora abuela. Un abrazo grande a la distancia.

It's impressive how she can just switch to Italian even though she hasn't lived in Italy for 55+ years! Great video
I don't know what I'm most jealous of... Their language skills or the enormous respect they have for one another. It's beautiful to watch.

Who wouldn't?....
She may double his age and still in total control of her comands ....
As a language lover, this is seriously a wonderful video.
Her hebrew has this old vibe that we barely hear today, I love it!

The fact that he said "genre" when he spoke French just shows how deep he went to learn the language
Complétement 😂
can I ask why? sorry, I just undestand french based of my spanish and italian lol
@@Gilarytta Because "genre" is usually used nowadays in french discussion.
the word "genre" assures the speaker that he is being listened to and responded to. It is a tic of language.
@@manon8169 ohhhhh thank you so much!
@@Gilarytta and I would add that "genre" is a sort of equivalent to "like" in sentences like this "c'est genre normal pour toi ?", in English it would be "its like normal to you?" don't know if im clear or not
I love your grandma! She is so natural on camera. Talking to wise elders so beautiful, its like a fine aged wine. Loveful Regards.
I am so impressed that she spoke with such good accents in each language so quickly. Whenever I try to start speaking in another language, it takes a few sentences to really get my brain switched over to how my voice should flow.

i love "to go backwards, you have to turn around". ive never heard anyone say that before but it makes so much sense. even in day to day life, you can't just rewind. our older members of society are full of such wisdom and amazing stories that always make me feel connected to the past --- in a way that makes me realize it wasn't that long ago at all! your grandma is phenomenal. :)
As someone who is fully EN - ES bilingual, grew up with Italian grandparents, and lived in France for a little bit… I’m so proud of myself for how much I was able to understand! This was beautiful to watch! Thank you for sharing this with us! Your grandma and her eternal wisdom is everything I aspire to be!
I’m bilingual but this just gave me the biggest push to learn even more languages

Muriël den Biesen Not me … her life it looks so hard to be handled....
Same! I should strive to learn more languages. Most of my relatives speak at least two languages and one of my cousins speak around 8 languages, mostly European, and I kind of envy her. I guess I need to step up my game on Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
Yes, I don’t think that many people understand it, but she didn’t just learn all those languages to be able to travel through Europe or to brag with friends, she did it because that was the best way to adapt to a new place as an immigrant and that is incredibly brave.
Incredible! I believe that this ability and smartness make this woman look more like a mother rather than a grandma.
Your grandmother is so intelligent and has a positive attitude. You inherited her love and aptitude for languages.

Love listening to you speak in multi-languages. Recently I sat down and made a list of the languages I am either fluent or know some basic words and phrases. It came to 16. I know it allows me to think in ways a mono speaker cannot. English is my third language and the one I am most comfortable in speaking. We are a multi-national family. I was born in Germany, took French and Spanish in school, can understand Dutch, Danish, and some Hebrew. I can also understand Gothic German, and Yiddish. What I learn from this is if you learn one language you can understand some of the associated languages.
Ulrich Semrau Don’t you get the languages mixed up, or forget words through lack of use? I would love to be multilingual. I know english (obviously) and dutch as I live in the Netherlands but I have forgotten most of the french and german I learnt at school. I tried to to teach myself Japanese over the course of several months a couple of years ago but I barely remember a word now. I think some people just have a better developed brain for languages. I have lived in the Netherlands for 18 years but still struggle with certain dutch phrases now and then.
Stranger ask what’s your accent?
Grandma: Yes
I feel like she have a slightly french accent in every language cause I was sure she was french even before she talked about her parents.

As a linguist and someone who speaks Swiss German, German, English and French (and learned Italian, learning Swedish on and off), I’m very impressed by both of you! These languages are all so different, and you sound great in all of them.
I think the phrase "of course" is a universal indicator that you have made a real effort to learn a language. It's a common and very easy phrase, but most people who are just learning or aren't quite conversational (most tourists and such, especially English speaking countries) haven't made that effort. And people REALLY appreciate that. I've studied Spanish from 6th grade all the way through college. And as soon as I say "claro" o "claro que sí" to someone who I'm pretty sure speaks Spanish, their demeanor immediately changes and they'll often start speaking in Spanish with me. I love it! 🙂❤️
Your grandma speaks English with an incredible Italian accent and speaks Italian with an incredible Spanish accent! She's wonderful!
Esatto ahahaha

Not only is he speaking 5 languages with his grandma, but he's also having a full conversation with her. I don't think I've ever sat down and had a full genuine conversation with my grandparents
unfortunately i'm in the same boat. grandmother developed dementia and passed years back. pretty sad i never got the chance to really ask her about her life, i would've loved to document it.
actually, learning an extra language helps prevent dementia and Alzheimer's.
Mine passed away from breast cancer when I was 1. So I never got to know her either. I hear we might not have gotten along though.
@@NNNN-yj7qz no, it's not appropriate for everyone and not fully proved. I know several people who knew many languages, learned throughout their life, were intellectually developed and were prominent figures in science and died from dementia. After I learned about this, I was really shocked. Unfortuantely, there is no known way to prevent dementia. It can happen to anyone.
@@flowerpower593 possible (as there are exceptions everywhere), however, that's what a lot of prominent language experts state among reasons to learn a language in the sense that it's not only the body that needs exercise but also the brain.
Alucinante. Me impresiona mucho tu acento argentino jeje. Tengo español nativo de centro america soy Venezolana pero viví 5 años en argentina y bueno me doy cuenta que tú español tiene ese acento, también es muy parecido a la acentuación del italiano y ya que muchos argentinos son hijos de italianos y por eso es más fácil combinar los idiomas y expresiones…. Yo estoy aprendiendo inglés 🥰 la amo a tu abuela
Impresionante el nivel y el acento de español totalmente definido de los dos, hablan como verdaderos hispanohablantes natales
I love when people have such respect for their grandparents.
It's beautiful!
cierto
Her accent in French is phenomenal. She sounds like she is a very highly educated Egyptian. Her accent in English though is very much French. But it’s perfect. Can you imagine how educated her kids must be, because her grandson sounds like an awesome person.
her accent in English sounds more Italian! french accents in English definitely sound way more harsh on "r"s than hers. she sounds exactly like an italian speaking english
@@jasmim6612 she sounds very Egyptian speaking Italian. The upper class in Egypt from her generation are super polyglots. Pronunciation was very strict and people focused very much on it. I know because my mother and aunts and cousins all sound just like her, speaking Italian or French. Before I even found out she speaks Arabic, I knew she did.
@I think... Even the son has an amazing French accent like wow
As a French person, if I didn't know he was English, I'd think he's French
Yeap she sounds a bit like my "pied noir" grandmother :)

Grandma got dat wisdom, doe. "If you like the place, learn the language." Yes, ma'am.
So true. And what an amazing lady.
So true. And not just that. Somebody told me once, that when you are talking to somebody in their second, third... language or whatever, you are talking to their brains, but, if you talk to somebody's mother tongue, you reach their hearts.
I'm catalan, and people just assume we speak spanish, so they just bother to learn spanish. When someone from Iceland, Poland, Germany... speaks my language, makes me feel appreciated you know... I speak five languages: catalan, spanish, english, italian and portuguese. And I learnt the last two languages cause I lived two months in Rome in 2016 and two months in Lisbon in 2018. Speaking spanish and catalan, and also english, to me it wasn't so difficult to make myself understood there, but I made the effort to learn their language, and now are mine as well.
😍
That's why Gareth Bale isn't good in Spanish 😅
@Marie P. I get that for some people that's a rational response, especially if you're only going to visit for a couple of days (or not at all). I still stand by learning the language if you like the place though. You can't appreciate a culture or a person fully until you speak with them in their native language, in my experience. If you like a place you are severely handicapped in how much you can truly experience if you don't learn the language.
I also feel very uncomfortable forcing someone else to speak english (my native language) in their own country because it would show that as a visitor I'd not taken any time or effort to even try to show some respect. Also in many English speaking countries the vast majority of tourists are forced to speak our language so I try to offer them the same courtesy when I'm travelling.
Despite the fact that I myself know 4 languages, 3 of which are ideal, I am amazed at the ability to remember so much, and so well. Your grandma is amazing, I wish you all the best.
As an Italian who has lived in Bulgaria, Ireland, Belgium, Indonesia, Uganda, England, Niger and Switzerland, I 100% align with the point of learning a new language as a means of integration. Speaking the local language is the first main step you need to take to begin understanding a new place. Love this content, Nathaniel!

@@juanarisso1704 JAJAJAJJAJA
I didn't, I speak five languages: catalan, spanish, english, italian and portuguese. And I put my finger on top of the subtitles when they spoke a language that I understood. Cause if I have subtitles I end up reading and loose focus of what they're saying.
When you live in Europe knowing at least 3 languages isn't surprising, it's when you know 5 or more where people start getting impressed
Why does literally everywhere in Europe learn 2 extra languages and then in Britain we just learn none :/
@@jameschandler127 xenophobia perhaps
@@jameschandler127 English speakers dont feel that they need to learn other languages since its the dominant language around the world. The same happens here in the U.S. Also its common for people in Europe to know multiple languages because Europe is comprised of various different countries that speak different languages all in close proximity to each other so it helps to know multiple languages if you want to travel across Europe and engage in trade an communication. I'm sure the European Union encourage cross-learning of languages as well.
@@smks8er I do think that I need to learn another language though? I am also (for now) in the European Union.
In Asia too, I'm from India and when i say i speak 2 languages, my friends would be like "you speak only 2?" 😆
Your grandmother is a wonderful lady, not only because of her language skills, but especially since she had to start from scratch in a new country several times over and did so with such a positive attitude! Most people would feel lost and disconnected after so many drastic changes. It does explain why both you and your parents are so prepared to start again in another country with an open mind.

At 48, I took time off and backpacked, with my son and 3 of his friends, for 5 months throughout Mexico and Central America. We traveled in remote areas (sometimes by canoe because there were no roads) and met many local people. Best experience, ever!
This video felt very wholesome. I like that you just kept switching to a different language whenever they became relevant to the story & especially when you said that there are good people everywhere. Beautiful 💚
Me: nativa de español -argentina-
Also me: *lee los subtítulos en inglés cuando están hablando en español*
Sí jajajaaj

This interview and part 2 with your abuela are still my favorite interviews on languages. I still love it. You both are amazing.❤
I just freacked out watching this video. It's just amazing to see you both changing languages during the chat. You made this feel so easy.
soy mexicana y puedo confirmar que su español es perfecto!!! claramente tienen el acento argentino, pero lo hablan como si fuera su primera lengua :0
Ese acento es más italiano, la señora tiene un acento más argentino
@@benjas7508 vivo en argentinja y estas equivocado
@@elpichichi8438 yo también vivo en Argentina jaja, su acento es italiano
Por favor dejemos de llamar "acento argentino" al acento rioplatense.
Soy argentina y confirmo que tiene bastante acento argentino!!!
La parte que más entendí fue la que hablaron en español JAJAJAJAJAJA
Sí, yo entendí la parte de español más bien también
Jjajajaa literal
jajajajajja me pasó lo mismo
Es increíble el acento que tiene
Lo unico que entendí
This is definitely amazing, thanks for sharing❤
Не хотела я смотреть...но посмотрела и не пожалела. Какая портясная женщина, с насыщенной жизнью, пожила не только в разных странах, но на разных материках. Очень вдохновляет на изучение других языков.
“ that’s crazy to me,” as he does it himself. This was great to watch
because she is an elderly woman .... agist misogyny at work.... grandmas are always butt of the joke to compare someone to someone stupid. 🤷🏽♂️
@@af.2198 what?
@@shiningshores4808 u don't get it
@@af.2198 no, ur comment is just stupid
Es increíble, manejan el español con tremendo acento argentino
Es por el italiano es similiar su acento al del español de argentina
Los Argentinos son los hermanos lejanos de los italianos
El chico no tiene acento argentino, tiene acento italiano que es más exagerado.
@@edumx2015 solo el italiano influenció el acento argentino
@@armandguillen6149 si ..Siempre pensé eso...Pero luego investigue y si era cierto. ..Por la inmensa migración Italiana de los siglos 19 y 20....
Your grandmother is such a lovely "citizen of the world"!
This is one of the gems in all of the internet. Definitly one of humanitys most important records.
Ok UA-cam, i watched it. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE
Come on just watch it 10000000 more times
right??? as soon as I started watching ND this was recommended a hundred times
😂😂😂😅
😂😂😂😂😂
SAME!
SAME!
SAME!
When you understand some of the languages they're speaking, and don't realize the switches between languages lol
same xD
it's so fun! for me it happens with spanish and english, cause i can understand both on a fluent level, while when they speak italian, which is my first language, their accent is much more recognizable to me than a "learnt language"
lol I was so confused because didn't notice a couple of the transitions and then was like, oh right...
Same hahahah
Hahaha same!
Watching this video was so inspirational for me. It reminds me an influence which my grandmother had on me. Greetings from Wroclaw Nathan.
Tu abuela es una verdadera inspiración, este video me ha motivado muchísimo 🎉
I’m confused as to why this video has 3K dislikes. Like are y’all that mad that you’re not Bilingual?
Technically Bilingual means some who knows 2 languages. The bi prefix means two. She's multilingual.
Why the dislikes? No idea.
Envy people
AyooitSofie I will tell you why the (already) 3,9 thousand dislikes... So many people cant understand this languages... Which is ok. But Sad, that nearly 4 thousand idiots cant even R E A D the subtitles. Best regards from a proud hungarian!
Dislike bots
Maybe because he doesn't allow her to speak. He says he wants to show us how she speaks fluently so many languages, and asks her a lot of questions about her life and stuff, but doesn't allow her to express her thoughts/experiences! Interrumpts her quite a lot. That's sooooo annoying!!
You: go to the comments section
Everyone: *flexing hard*
fr fr 😔
Oh lol
Yup, kinda annoying to be honest.
what a beautiful relationship you have with your grandma :)
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video. Your Grandmother is an absolute inspiration ❤
