      One time, in college, we were doing a thing for a class and they specifically told us not to speak in English and just use our mother tongue because we were being recorded and the video was going to be shown to beginners. All of our classes were in English tho, because we were learning the language to become ESL teachers and we were in advanced classes already, so we were used to communicate mostly in English. When it was my turn to speak, I said everything I had to say in English without realizing what I was doing and when I finished, everyone was looking at me like I was from Mars. It took me a whole 30 seconds to realize what I had done. I freaking ruined the recording lol

    Stuff like this is the real reason to learn other languages. Not to be a superspy and listen in on foreign conversations, but to connect with people from different cultures on a level you can only get from their native language. People get so happy when you speak to them in their language in a country where they probably get little chance to use it.

      Interesting - I was wondering since I don't speak Korean at all what actual Koreans thought about it - I've learned Chinese for years and I can tell that a lot of hollywood movies where the actors "speak Chinese" it's really horrible and sometimes (like in the show 'Firefly') you can barely if at all understand a single thing they are trying to say it's that bad - I wonder though, is it the same with Korean where Korean speakers will compliment a foreigner's Korean skills even if you are being totally honest they're not very good compared to a native speaker? Because with Chinese it is like that - take Mark Zuckerberg. There's a video of him "speaking fluent Chinese" on youtube and his Chinese is really, really bad - but native speakers always compliment it just because at least he's trying to learn it and speak it - I feel like Chinese speakers are way too nice about it and need to be more honest with it. My wife is at least more honest (she is Chinese) but even she is nicer about it than I would be if someone were claiming to speak my language (Estonian) "fluently" when it was very poor in reality!

    I’m a native Korean speaker and from what I saw in interviews, he actually went and got a tutor to learn Korean for these scenes. It wasn’t just him reading phonetic sounds off a script, those few lines in Korean are actually digested by Carrey. You can see that he understands the construct of the language by listening to where he breaks the words and sentences. Instead of saying, “Ia m ad og”, he knows to break it up into, “I am a dog.”

I'm also very impressed by how well he got the 어 and 으 vowels, those took me a very long time. English does not have vowels like those. And that he said "hwaiting" with a great Korean accent, instead of a very English "fighting!" I think he should be proud, he did a great job.

    I don't think I've seen any Hollywood actor speak a longer line in Korean with the camera in their face. Jim did an excellent job with in this scene. Jim is a perfectionist and did the whole scene on one continuous take. He did have the option of cutting in half, but he refused. The dialog was also changed numerous times but he rocked it. Yes, his pronunciation wasn't perfect. Although I can read, write and even speak Greek, Hebrew and German and am fluent in Korean and English, my pronunciation is not perfect when I speak German. I'm so proud of Jim for taking on this challenge.

      In Hollywood there are dialog coaches that help actors speak foreign lines. Usually it's only 1 or 2 sentences but Carrey speaks a lot of lines here. They're all memorized. Anyway the dialog coach may have been a Japanese who spoke Korean as a second language. The movie business is very sloppy in this regard. I speak Russian and French and I have never understood American actors speaking those languages in movies (unless they use native speakers)

      I think it's just jarring to hear such advanced syntax in a beginner's accent. Generally, if you get far enough to converse like that, you also learn along the way how to shape your mouth to form the words more naturally. It really doesn't feel like a failure on his part, but on the part of the language coach and the creative team. There didn't have to be a disconnect there, but there was, and that's why we're all here talking about it. I really enjoyed this movie and this scene, but I think there was some untapped potential for an even smoother portrayal there.

    외국인으로서는 한국어를 배우는 거 어려워요!! 근데 2-3년 동안 한국어를 배우고 있고 제 실력이 놀랍게도 좋아지고 있습니다! 솔직히 한국어가 정말 아름다운 거 같습니다. 하지만 한국어 문법 정말 어렵습니다.... 제가 가장 좋아하는 취미는 한국어를 배우는 거예요! 원래 스타크래프트 때문에 한국어를 배우기 시작했어요. 제가 한국어를 배우기 시작했을 때 한국어는 (한글) 한자랑 비슷할 거라고 생각했습니다. 정말 놀랐습니다! 나에게 어렵지 않았습니다. 근데 한국어 문법 정말 복잡한 거 같아요. ㄷㄷ

    When I first saw this movie I wasn't the biggest fan of it cause it just felt like a different version of Liar Liar
    But over the years this film has really grown on me as one of my favorite Jon Carey films.
    The message this movie sends is just so palpable and rather really important about opening yourself up to the world more often.
    Because there's so much joy out there in the world to find but you can only find it by saying "yes" to things, and you don't have to yes to everything but the opportunities that can come from saying yes can be endless.
    This movie is perhaps on of Jim Carey's most underrated gems in his entire filmography!

I once asked an Austrian girl, who a friend was dating at the time (who surprisingly loved speaking German with me), why people seemed to allergic to speaking German. She said backpackers, especially from Europe, are trying to spend a few years escaping their culture before they return to it for good. Hearing their mother tounge spoken to them kills the illusion of escapism and reminds them that their real lives are still waiting for them back in Germany, or wherever they come from.

But, to your point, when foreigners do speak properly or at least as well as native born Americans / British / Aussies, etc., then THAT can be pretty embarrassing! LoL.

When someone on a social platform like UA-cam truly constructs articulate sentences in conveying their thoughts I almost cannot believe it. )
