I can believe you followed my suggestion 😅. I just left Portugal 4 days ago. As a Portuguese speaker I am proudly to say we do speak a lot of languages comparing with some other Europeans.🥳
I speak Portuguese
Inglês
Spanish
Italian
French
Criolo
Dialect from saint tome
I do understand Romanian /Lithuanian
and know a few words
I love learning new languages 🤗🤗😅😅😅
I agree with Oscar.Portuguese is definitely the most difficult one. But once you learn it you can understand easily Spanish ,Italian,French and English.
Your next destination should be our neighbours Spain🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Bruno is such an interesting person. And his English is a lot better than many who consider themselves to be fluent.
Because french people like many europeans underestimate their language skills .
@@joenroute9646 I think the more you know, the more you feel you need to improve. I speak Portuguese as my native language and English, and even though I know my English is very good, I always have the feeling that is not enough. And I've spent five months in England living with British people, and before there I had studied English for 11 years here in Brazil hahaha... I have some knowledge of Spanish because I took 3 years of classes in school but I usually wouldn't mention it.
Bruno didn't mention if he speaks Euskera (Basque), since he's from there. It's a very interesting isolated language with a curious grammar.
I agree
That’s right me too said that
When I was in Portugal for a short visit I had the impression they speak English quite well. I heard it is because they don't have dubbed films, they only have subtitles so English speaking movies are shown in the original language in TV and movie theatres. I don't know if it is true. But they speak English much better than in Spain, for example.
Yup. Movies are only dubbed if they're for kids. News, documentaries, everything has subtitles. For me it's weird to see dubbed things when I go to Germany for example. The people that dub dont have the same emotion as the people that original speak
We only dub movies or cartoons for children
@@SirCasticoo yep...but even those have the VO (Original Versoon) has choise
@@joanacaetanogomes yes this is what I meant, sorry - that they don't have dubbed films and have subtitles instead so they can pick up the language easily. This is one very effective way to learn a language.
What you say about Germany is true but since they teach English really well at school, they can speak English well.
@@SirCasticoo Back then we didn't even do that. I remember in the mid 2000s Cartoon Network not having subs and we just had to understand what was happening by just looking. Nowadays it's dubbed and it's weird.
The French guy nailed the Portuguese spirit
We are very critical and thought on ourselves
Esse francês me fez perceber que o brasileiro é a mesma coisa que o português: só fala de futebol, corrupção e do quanto (supostamente!) são uns merdas, apesar de terem muito potencial e incrível história, respectivamente. Além de serem amigáveis. Brasileiro é debochado e irônico, ainda que pra se divertir. Diferente dos franceses, que o são pra menosprezar mesmo.
Isso com certeza nós brasileiros herdamos de vocês huehuehueh
Abraços para Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤❤ 🇧🇷
Claro que nós herdamos. Eu mesmo sou brasileiro, mas falo português, sou descendente de portugueses e nasci e fui criado numa região de colonização portuguesa (Florianópolis). Como é que eu não vou ser também parecido com os portugueses se eu mesmo sou quase um português?
I think low key he was also saying we are not very sophisticated, in the sense that our interests are basically football. Which is unfortunately true. I am portuguese and I live abroad. Whenever I encounter people from my country it all revolves around very basic subjects of conversation like football.
@@HugoRodrigues1313 os pazes ricos sao muito mais corruptos que Portugal... agora o que graça por ca é a pobreza, sobretudo de espirito
Portuguese people were so nice when i visited lisbon and porto! Very soft-spoken and humble.
True 👍👍👍
We are not humble, we just act that way for people visiting
@@ritaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 🤣wtf?
@@ritaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu lmao wtf???
@@ritaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ???
the french guy really nailed the two main topics of conversation the portuguese have, football and corruption is all we know baby
in general he nailed the portuguese dead on
realmente é só disso q se fala haha temos de inovar os tópicos de conversa
O mesmo pode-se dizer dos brasileiros.
And food..
sounds like argentina
The french guy, Bruno, what a character!!! He really know the portuguese well! Indeed, for sure football and corruption in politics are the main topics between portuguese people 😂
By the way, I am portuguese, from Lisbon, and I speak Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. Fluent in all four languages.
Falo 5 linguas estrangeiras. Ingles, frances, italiano, espanhol e estou a estudar o portugues! A mais bonita! Beijinhos da Polonia!
Impressionante, força nisso
@@atorrres Obrigada!
Boa Izi. E fico feliz por estares a aprender Português de Portugal e não do Brasil.
@@motttta Prefiro o portugues de Portugal.
Que bom que prefere o de Portugal, 99% dos estrangeiros preferem o Português Brasileiro
Mon ami! Dan, I'm a Montrealer--born and raised in MTL by Portuguese parents--who just moved to Lisbon with the family. If you're still around, lemme know! We'll show you around. The family and I have been watching your videos since you started documenting your move to MTL. Salut!
I'm no longer in Lisbon but thanks for the kind offer 🙂
@@TheNewTravel Thanks for the reply. Keep making great content + we'll keep watching. Merci!
3:47 this older gentleman here is right on the money. I visited Lisbon for the first time exactly one month ago and this was my exact experience. The people of Lisbon are super chill and the city itself is super safe. One of the residents even bragged about how a woman could be out by herself at 3 in the morning and no one would touch her. It was a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to open myself up to a whole new world across the Atlantic and I already look forward to me returning to Lisbon, Portugal.
Also, I noticed the multiple language thing on my first or second day in Lisbon too. It is a very English-friendly city, and of course they speak Portuguese. But I did run into waiters that also spoke French
Bruno looks like he has many stories to tell and his English is excellent :)
Im amazed you actually found Portuguese people in Lisbon
O facto de ele ter encontrado mais monhés vindos das Índias do que portugueses diz tudo sobre o estado em que Lisboa tá
I'm an American who can speak Portuguese, although not fluently, and I arrived home 3 days ago after 2 weeks in Portugal. One thing I enjoyed is that I insisted on speaking Portuguese to the Indian shop keepers and the restaurant nags on Rua Augusta. Yes, they figured out I was American and kept addressing me in English, and I would keep answering in Portuguese. One of them actually got angry, and finally I told him that my Portuguese speaking won't improve if I'm in Portugal speaking English all the time.
Bear in mind that your Portuguese skills are probably better than theirs.
@@Quidproquo1143 Afonso Henriques, volta… isto do Roberto Martínez não pode ficar assim… faz justiça neste país
That’s great the way you chose to learning the language.
The contact that you have with the people is the most efficient method to truly learn.
An American speaking Portuguese !!! WOW !!! Awesome !!! I'm really impressed the way you chose to speak in Portuguese instead of English. The guy at the store must have been really surprised😁. That's the way it is. That's exactly the best way you will learn a new language... talking to others in their own language. It was an Indian store but the official language in the country is Portuguese. You're right. I'd do the same as you if I were in an English speaking country. Great job, dude!!!
I enjoyed your comment. Believe it, you'll become fluent faster than you can figure out.
Congrats !!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don't think the got angry because you were speaking "not fluently" Portuguese... but because you insisted and they have a hard time understanding. I'm Portuguese and if I go to some Indian Store in Lisbon, they talk to me in English, because their Portuguese is not very good, so yeah, I'm Portuguese, living in Portugal and sometimes I have to speak English in those types of shops.
The old french man has my heart
Bruno is absolutely right the portuguese themselves are very critic with their own country. We love our country but before someone criticise Portugal the portuguese people also tells always advance the bad side of Portugal. Portuguese are very honest
Mainada
Bruno vive em PT há 33 anos,é mais tuga que freench
Very honest and also very whiney! As a proud Portuguese it irritates the crap out of me hearing my co-citizens whining constantly about anything, but doing nothing, to change the status quo! And lately, in addition to politicians abd football, the new pet peeve is foreigners! On top of everything else, we are not as nice as we used to be, although Bruno was quite right on his views! 🙈 😩
I liked a lot this episode 😍 the best part for me is when you connect with the people and ask a bit about their story and how they learnt the languages or if they like the city.
Ι'm from Greece, I love Portugal and portuguese people, I speak a B2 level portuguese but last summer that I visited the country for second time I was annoyed that some portuguese people that I spoke to switched to english when I was trying to talk to them in their language. I speak also B2 spanish, never had a problem in Spain maybe because few spaniards speak english or because I find easier for me to speak in spanish because their fonology is similar to modern greek. I live in Corfu, a greek island full of tourism and when I meet a foreign person trying to talk to me in greek I always respond to him/her in slow greek and not in english to help him practice the language.
Don’t get annoyed by that. I understand your point and generally portuguese appreciate when foreigners speak or try to speak the language, but at the same time they will try to simplify things by speaking english. Alla, parakalo poli
Your English is good. 😊👍
@@julianneheindorf5757 thank you! :)
Wow, you’re a smart person ah!! Regards from Mexico.
Me alegra escuchar a alguien que dice lo mismo que vengo diciendo desde hace ya muchas décadas: que el español hablado en España y el griego moderno son muy similares (sino casi idénticos) en la fonética.
My English is not enough to express how much I like this channel. God bless you! From Brazil.
As a portuguese living in Lisbon, I'm a bit sad that you couldn't find more Portuguese people to talk with...
It’s not really their fault…
Are they shy?
@@PunPryde
There's a gentification process going on in Lisbon.
The real native people from Lisbon are being pushed away by the high rent prices and house prices.
And those price hikes are being provoked by the large influx of foreigners with money.
Na próxima, busca
Cidade Universitária ! Erasmus...
@@guleiro And those without money but that don't mind living 2 or more per room so they can afford rent.
Amazing channel! Loved it.
I adore your videos, honestly! Thanks>3
Portuguese people are very beautiful, elegant,polite and friendly❤💜🧡
Love Portugal from China🇨🇳💚❤️🇵🇹
As a Portuguese, Bruno is absolutely right, we mostly only talk about football and the government, and we are the biggest critics of Portugal 😂 but let me tell you, although we criticize our country a lot we will not tolerate and will get very defensive if we hear foreigners talking bad about us and our country 😅 we are very proud people! 🇵🇹
Esquisito, hein?
Exactly! It's like "only we can say bad things and criticize our country" 🤣
Um grande abraço daqui do Brasil a Portugal ♥️♥️
@@glockiyana2591 no need
Dear Dan, great and super interesting video nicely produced as always!!!!
i'm from Brazil and I really like this video because show me the real side about learn new languages. I'm using this video to improve my listening and is very important for me. Thank you soo much!
I've visited Lisbon regularly over the last 20 years and it's changed a lot. In the summer there are definitely way too many tourists, and that is a bit annoying. The city, although still uniquely beautiful, hast lost part of its soul. There are some beautiful small cities near Lisbon though, which feel more authentic.
Well when the house prices drive the native people away from their cities that will happen.
Tu también eres extranjero, ¿sabes?
@@Marshblocker Sí, lo sé. Pero un turista puede hacer comentarios sobre otros turistas. De la misma manera que te puedes atorar en un atasco sabiendo que estás parte del problema.
So nice to see one of your videos in my hometown ❤️
Hey man I'm also from Montreal but been living in Lisboa for a year now. I love your video format! Keep those videos coming 😁!
thank you for questions like "how is like to live here?" Interested in relocation so it helps a lot to feel the vibe of a country. Also want my children to speak a lot of languages so very interested in your channel and countries you travel to.
I like your videos they're calm,entertaining and friendly!
Very nice video! Congratulation! Hugs from Brazil!👏🇧🇷
Thanks for sharing with us this great Video
I've been to Portugal three times and enjoy the country quite a lot. As I'm living in Spain, it's not further away than many places within the same country. I quite enjoy the fact that most people speak English and a lot Spanish, too. I wouldn't mind if we spoke French or German either. When I hear Portuguese, I can guess quite a lot. A conversation between Spanish and Portuguese works somehow but bits and pieces get lost.
Amazing video
Welcome to Lisboa and Portugal!
Hope you have the best time here
Great video!
I like this kind of videos I'm from Mexico and I can speak Spanish and English and I am studying french but I can barely understand the basic words, greetings from Mexico
You should learn Portuguese! It's easy for Spanish speakers, and it is one of the most spoken languages in the world! Try to understand this: Tente o português brasileiro, para iniciantes é mais fácil de entender o sotaque.
I live in Montréal and I loved visiting Lisboa very beautiful and safe city❤
i love ur videos!
I'm in love with your vidéos ❤
very interesting Dan!
Thanks, hope you're having a good start to your year :)
@@TheNewTravel So far so good! Heading to Cuba on Friday! Rewatching your Havana videos as I write this! Cheers brother!
Buen viaje!
9:50 I like how she naturally switched to Mandarin for the translation, saying 大家好 (da jia hao), before correcting herself and speaking English 😂👍🏾
In the pronunciation borrowed from China (onyomi), Japanese would read 大家好 as dai ka kou which is closer to hakka. Usually Mandarin is the least similar to Japanese onyomi.
@@igorjee interesting. I agree with the reading but "大家好" is not actually a word in Japanese is it?
@@mrsoikawa Right, it isn't, but 大家 as taika means expert or master and as ooya it is 'landlord'. 好 kou is not used by itself, but it carries the meaning of 'good' or 'to like', like in 大好き daisuki, 'like a lot'.
@@igorjee cheers, yeah didn't think so but I had to check, I lived in Japan for a few years. "ooya" rings a bell but I don't think I'd heard of "taika". They would often just use "expert" or "master" in katakana
4:50 le maitre il a tout dit. and i'm portuguese, from Lisboa.
nice videos and nice manner to start a conversation with someone :) nice work!
Parabens pelo video, gostei muito. Tens que visitar mais vezes Portugal é muito lindo.👍🏽
This new year I'm going to learn the basic in Japanese and Korean 😊 Saludos Dan
Did you keep your promise?
Young people in the end were so adorable, also 'go away' haha :)
Made it to the end. 🐢😅
Great videos! 👌
Probably, this video is the most beautiful ❤)) -
I loved not only people and their answers, but also the city-views ..
- very lovely city-environment - 🤗🙏🏻 - 👍🏻
Super interesting! I especially enjoyed the gentleman from Gascony. When he was talking about Alfacinhas who are very kind but are very critical of themselves, I thought he might have been talking about us Japanese. I didn’t expect a similarity there!
The people in Lisbon are so chill. Loved the city, hope to visit again.
It was so interesting. Muito obrigado.
That Bruno fellow is a character. He is welcome anytime in the north of the country. Come to Porto, and you will see that people are even nicer (in general and according to my opinion, as a native). OP, thank you for your effort to show this little yet great piece of Southwestern Europe to a wider public.
As a Portuguese myself, this video was really moving and heart-touching!🇵🇹🇵🇹❤❤
my mom's from Lisbon, such a cool place! I hope to visit again someday
Such a interest video!!! Keep going!
Me gustan sus videos! Très intéressant. I watched until the end. Дякую!
Adoro Lisboa, o comida la ta muito boa. Gosto muito la, espero viajar a os Açores algum-dia 🙏🏻
That man who was from Gascony was super interesting to listen to. I would have loved to hear him speak Portuguese as well.
Awesome videos! I love them. You have to come to Istanbul, Turkey for making videos like that.
Bruno is one hell of a man. I completely agree with him about the portuguese spirit and way of being. He's spot on. From a an astrenged portuguese that does not like football and love his country history...
I really like this kind of videos. I believe that some people are embarrassed to say that only speak one language. You can tell that are not fluent or limited English proficiency.
Me gustan este tipo de vídeos. Creo que algunas personas tienen vergüenza de decir que solo hablan un idioma. Se puede saber cuando alguien habla poco inglés o es limitado.
thanks for information
I'm completely in love with your videos, I think I can practice the oral comprehension, btw I want to improve French, my native language is Spanish ❤
🐢 loved the boy at the end joking with u to go away
Love these videos. The Nepali guy has an air of calmness aroound him.
Great video!!
knowing Portuguese Italian and Spanish at the same time is realy hard because they are very similar and you can mixe when you are speaking
Não es possivel che pueda pasar cualcosa di questa natureza. Es muito facile mantener separati os linguaggi.
@@ivanmolero7829 :-)
Thanks a lot. 謝謝你的付出，太酷了愛了🌸🌸🌸。Gracias mil para esta video.
O meu país favorito na Europa. Espero poder visitá-lo em breve.
boa sorte aprendendo o português de portugal! eu sinceramente acho mais difícil no entendimento da fala, mas ainda assim eles têm um bom sotaque.
Var är du nu?🤔
@@dbouca não existe sotaque original, cada um tem o seu
@@dbouca você está fazendo preconceito linguístico agora
eu gosto muito do sotaque inglês britânico, mas isso não significa que eu diga que ele é "original", até porque você vê mais sotaque americano que britânico, e muito menos isso faz eu desvalorizar, até porque cada um tem seu jeito de falar.
@@dptm404 se a língua nasceu em Portugal, é de lá o sotaque original! É assim tão difícil perceber/aceitar isso?
I'm Portuguese. When my oldest turned nine , I made him played PS or Wi only in English. Subliminar learning as I call it. It worked. And I recommend all parents do do that. Get them familiar with other languages in a way they enjoy it. Also introduce new languages after a year
I loved this video, Im from Portugal to, I know Portuguese, English and Spanish I understand a little of France and Italian Linguage
03:58 - 🤗❤️🤗❤️❤️! Very interesting part of interview!❤️🙏🏻
This dude has great heart. He give shout outs for Free, ❤
That older dude is flexing so hard. Speaks better English than a lot of native speakers, and knows the grammar rules too. And he's humblebragging about it lol. Big it up Bruno!
I enjoyed this video, I speak 4 Languages some of them I do have more confidence in speaking, but here are my languages I do speak. Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and now I'm learning Italian. I need to practice more so I don't forget the vocabulary.
Nice vid
🐢ok these videos are great and I think this one was the most interesting for me, watching this guy Bruno talking about the people and the other guys saying that there are not many flats available, I mean these are the kind of things that really demonstrate the actual situation. And watching people from all over the world, the culture and the city right now, it's all so interesting. Other than that, the more weal your mother tongue is, the more languages you speak. So come to Athens, we seak many languages here and you are most welcomed to visit!
When I went to Portugal, it felt like everyone could speak or understand French, even in small villages :)
French is very close to Portuguese so its very easy to Portuguese people to understand. When I went to Italy for the first time, I had no difficulty understanding everything even without speaking Italian.
Only when you guys speak slowly. Spanish and Italian are easier to understand.
Bare in mind that many of elderly used to live / work in france /switzerland and went back to Portugal
Nice video.
🐢 Haha. I do just like what you require. I finish till the end.
Thanks for making interesting video. I kind of hook up with this video because I also love speaking foreign languages.
Im 16 and from Portugal. Most of my classmates and friends speak 3 langages, and some of them even speak 4. I got a little surprised when the first 3 girls didnt spoke more than 2, since in Portugal we learn Portuguese, English and Spanish or French
I don't know a person that retained anything from French class
Stop lying you must be in a private school or sum cause there's no way that an entire classroom or a group of friends at the age of 16 can speak 3/4 languages fluently
@@DjaBuSabi he is not lying, we do study either french, Spanish or German in middle school for three years. After that, in high school, we can also choose again which language we would like to speak from Spanish, french or German. This all in public schools... While English is mandatory alongside Portuguese since primary school.
If people do not retain the language and cannot speak it, then it's just because they didn't pay attention in class.
@@maomi1852 I'm 21. In general, people older than me did all that and can't even speak English. The ones my age, all around, speak pt and english. So yeah, you and your friends must be a whole new more attentive and intelligent generation 😂
@@maomi1852 Not really, most people who have French or German or whatever that isn't English will get out of school and never study those languages again, so they'll end up forgetting it.
I know 4 languages soon to be 5
1. Portuguese (native)
2. English (fluent, started learning since I was 4)
3. Spanish (not so fluent, but cartoons in spanish helped :D)
4. French (not so fluent either, but having a french father helps :P)
5. Swedish (moved to Sweden recently, started learning) Wish me luck, i'ts kinda similar to english somehow, seems easy only the writing is weird af
I hope that one day you can do the same video but in the north! I recommend you to visit both Porto and Braga! 😊
Impressionante! Em Portugal, mantiveram o arco do triunfo, agora na 4ª maior cidade do mundo, tiraram-na. Eu curto muito linguas estrangeiras, graças ao ensino, também a um cantor poliglota, posso dizer hoje que falo 7 idiomas com diferentes níveis de fluência: Português, Espanhol, Inglês, Italiano, Alemão, Francês, Coreano, Japonês e atualmente estou aprendendo Polonês que é muito interessante e mais fácil de aprender que o Russo. Agora mandarim é muito difícil kkkk Valeu pelo vídeo!
Polaco* xD
I'm living in Lisbon but, I was born in Argentina. I speak Spanish, Portuguese, and English. I need to be better at my English. Furthermore, the next year I wanna learn Italian
Lisbon is a nice place to live. People here is amazing!!!!
I love you Dan
i like yours videos . greetings from guatemala
@TheNewTravelVlog what is that 😂
fake account just ignore
Adorei o francês, mt preciso na sua visão acerca dos tugas. Só futebol mesmo...
A piece of advice from a teacher- if you want to learn proper Spanish pronunciation, listen to songs, watch movies, telenovelas (Spanish language soaps), and if you have a chance, speak to native speakers.
Bruno is spot on, as a Portuguese myself I share the same view wiuld love to hear more from him or have a nice coffee with him
For people who want to learn languages, my best advice (although I'm not a polyglot myself, so take this with a grain of salt), is input. I am also from Montreal, native French speaker, and my mom couldn't speak a word of English. My dad had an okay English.
Learning a language from scratch is overwhelming. What made me learn English is through music first. I had some tapes and CD which had the lyrics in the little booklet. This was before we had internet at home XD. I would ask my dad to translate the lyrics of my favourite songs. From there I started playing video games, most of which were only in English back then, so that was my "level 2" input, where I would read the text on screen, and try not to bother my dad too often to ask what they meant.
By the time I started saying a single word out loud, I would already understand a LOT of English. From there, it was just a matter of putting it together to form my own sentences. By that time we had internet hahah so I started chatting in chatrooms with people from everywhere in the world in English. By the time I got to the last year of high school, I was better at English than my French-native English teacher.
With technology today we have things like duolingo and all the other apps. but as good as they are, I find them a bit dauting because they kinda force-feed you stuff, because you are being tested on your learning as they give you input, which is all well and good, but I feel like it is missing some types of mode where you can just get input after input, without being tested, where you learn semi-passively, just by receiving more and more input. I wonder if that types of apps exist...To be honest, writing this message, I have just realised what is missing in these apps...
His English was better than admitted. Its all about practice. 65 years old and looking good!
I’m a native speaker of English, Danish and Swedish. I can manage a basic conversation in German, I understand a little French and Greenlandic and I’m currently learning Persian.
Impressive
@@bb1786, not really, I know plenty of folks who are fluent in several languages. Where I live most people speak two or three languages or more.
I would love to help u with Persian😺❤️
I would have never though that a Gasconian man would appear in this video !
A famous theater masterpiece is made by a Gasconian in France and very well known; thank you to have added him.
Belle video
Great experiences shared thru your videos, really enjoy your travels, btw, (lol) I speak 3 languages: Spanish, English, and Armenian, and understand a little Portuguese, which would love to learn and travel to Portugal and Spain...soon... in the future
See, Portugal I believe them when they say they speak 2 or 3 languages because often times they do. In fact, I think most Portuguese people passively understand Spanish as well since it’s very similar to their own language but don’t count it as a language they know since most can’t speak it properly and speak Portuñol instead. The guy from Northern Portugal I automatically knew he spoke Spanish since he is from basically next door to Spain.
Portuguese understand a bit of Spanish and Italian because of the similarity but very few people really speak it and making you understand don't count as knowing a language. Probably the same about Dutch and Germans.
You make it sound like only the northern people speak Spanish. There are probably more people who speak Spanish in Beira Alta, Beira Baixa and Alentejo than in the north.
being from the north does not exactly mean you speak spanish better. In fact, its actually that people from the northern part of spain (galicia) will be able to hold a conversation in portuguese because of the origins of the language coming from the north of portugal.
@@module79l28 Those parts of Portugal weren’t mentioned. I’m aware the country is bordered by Spain on the North and East. Relax, bud.
@@antoniorl7549 Galician and Portuguese are almost the same language and outside the major cities like Vigo or La Corunna people still speak Galician as a majority language. That guys seems to ignore that...
Thank you for this video reminding me my trip to Portugal. If you ask me how many languages I speak, I will be confused saying I don't know exactly. I believe I speak Russian, English, Esperanto, studying French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and others...
❤Oh,what nice and intelligent people!What a kindly interviewer!What an awesome city!My dream!💜🧡💛💚💙Thanks for inspiration to learn languages!💝
