I just got these flashbacks of people being gunned down in an airport. I bet you're excited for the new COD game if you're a fan of the level No Russian.
lol i have a good one once me and my fiance were having dinner and these old women passed by us and spoke in my native language saying "oh look how nowadays these young people get to walk around together and go outside without any engagement attached" she said it in such a rude tone so i turned and flashed her the ring and winked at them and the look on their faces was such a beautiful sight.
Sushi trash, I know what you mean but the English expression is « native language » (although you can also say « mother tongue » but that sounds a bit too ‘fancy’).
I was in my car and this guy asks me if the car is for sale and say no. Then he tells me "every b***h has a price" in russian. So i reply : "not this b***h" you know the rest
I'm half Afrikaans and half English. My Afrikaans side of the family is aware that I have been raised in English, but because of this they assume that I understand little to no Afrikaans, I cant speak it very well but I can understand almost everything. So an Afrikaans family member (I don't know the relation, this was a family reunion and I had no choice but to go) she started talking shit about me and my dad(who is English) about how he forced my mom to raise me in English and that he is going to force my mom to raise my little sister in English (who was a few months old at the time) this woman then proceeded to call my father many rude names and said that "this English kid" might as well not be here, that because I didn't speak her language, I wasn't even a part of her family. I tugged the woman's sleeve and she turned to look at me with a innocent face and said in English "Hello sweetie, can I help you?" I proceeded to say "First off, I can understand Afrikaans perfectly well, second, my mom is the one who chose to raise my sister and I in my father's mother tounge and lastly, I wouldn't want to be related to a woman like you who can trash talk a kid and her family." she turned red and stomped off like she was my age at the time;10 years old. I'm now 17 and I still laugh when I think about her face 😂
SpearRegins no but I was curious what it was is it less expensive?!?! or is it for emergency situations. I've never heard of it before so I'm fascinated
Was at a chinese nail salon, I was a freshman at the time and had taken chinese classes since kindergarten. So I’d say I was pretty fluent. Now the thing is, I’m Mexican. But I’m very pale. So I literally look pasty white. Getting my nails done, this group of chinese people come in WITH THEIR DOG(???) into the salon, they’re waiting and they’re making comments about me in chinese since I was the only one in the salon at the time. I get done, pay, and as I walk out, I look over to them and say “ I like your dog, he’s cute” in fluent chinese. The look on their face was p r I c e l e ss
她很胖。一点点可爱，但是胖。she is fat, a little cute, but fat. I’m like 5’3” and 140 pounds aha, I’m not even overweight, but I’m chinese culture it’s not as big as an insult to call someone fat than it is here lol
I also have a funny one so I grew up speaking 2 languages, Latvian as my native and Russian as a second language cause here about 30% of the population is Russian so a pretty needed language. this happened about 2 years ago when my looks were quite "emo" and I was wearing dark heavy makeup. one day when I was on a bus, there were two old Russian ladies sitting right in front of me. a minute before I was speaking with my friend on the phone who doesn't know Russian so I didn't use any Russian words with her in the conversation which I usually do a lot. so after that, they both assumed that since I was speaking without an accent I must not know Russian since the younger generation doesn't really bother learning it. they started to comment on my looks. how badly dressed I was, how I am ruining my hair with hair dye (pink), how my makeup made me look like a prostitute etc. all this time I was looking out of the window trying to think of a way to make them feel embarrassed. so I just called my mum and started to ask her about that day and her plans. when they heard me speaking (mind that I don't have an accent either) they just looked at each other embarrassed and tbh it made me feel good. I got off at the next stop and almost burst out laughing.
I’m not Russian but the language is in my opinion beautiful and I’m learning but it isn’t that good so let write something and if it is wrong plz correct me Я не язык Русский.
I don't speak multiple languages (I can recognize the language based on pronunciation though), but I had a writing teacher that insulted me in Spanish. I asked her why she was saying that about me, but she switched to a different language instead. She knew English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Russian. Each time I asked her why kept insulting me; she finally switched back to English before asking how did I know what she was saying. I told her that since I couldn't hangout with friends, I had been studying other languages to pass time; and the first thing I studied was curse words and insults. She didn't insult me or anyone in my class in front of me and my 2 friends again.
A groub of Korean teenagers came into the restraint my family was in, I'm a Russian Amrican girl and don't look like I would ever know Korean. Well they were making fun of my mother for not knowing how to use chopsticks. I said hello in korean and then flipped them off. *Don't make fun of my mother.* Edit: I've been thought Korean since I was in the first grade.
Not my story but it's about a friend of mine. He and his big brother(and family) went to Japan for his 15th birthday as a surprise because he and his brother were huge weebs. Because they watched so much anime they both picked up some Japanese. His brother pretty much spoke it normally at that point but my friend spoke with a heavy Israeli accent so no could understand what he was saying(basically could understand the language but couldn't really speak it properly). So 2 teenaged girls walk by them and talk about how my friend is cute. When they were about to part ways his brother said in Japanese something among the lines like "my brother is single call him" and both the girls and my friend were bright red and when my friend came back he was floating with confidence for a month until he stalled down. Probably the funniest month of my life. Also just realised that a lot of those stories are from Israeli people. Guess my nation is good at picking up languages
@@richpolite my friend watched it for 5 years and his brother for 10. I believes them. Also they used those weird language learning apps Like duolingo but older
@@richpolite Yes you can. I've been watching anime for a long time now and although I can't really speak it I understand quite a lot of Japanese. I imagine if someone was actually trying to learn or was just better at picking up languages than me, he/she could manage to become fluent in it.
I have a story: ( not me but my dad) So we all speak Malay in my family. My dad was buying some food when two girls (speaking Malay) were talking about him rudely ( he is American) and he turned around and told them in Malay: "Americans can hear you." They were shook.
I am from Norway and once I was at the colosseum in Rome. Then some people said that they wish people would move out of the way (in norwegian). They didnt expect anyone to understand, but I did. So I answered (still in norwegian), that I will gladly move. That made them laugh so hard
My mum studied un Israel for a long time,so she knows how to Talk the lenguage.We were on our vacations on the argentine south and some israelí said to us "good morning" so my mum responded "good morning to you" (in their lenguage) and they transformed their faces.Then they started to talk like they were friends.I'm still surprised
Me and my dad were in a Hispanic store in NY, my dad's Chinese my mom is Black&Spanish *B U T* I look like your typical blasian so they didnt know I was also [half] Hispanic, so they're sitting there talking [in Spanish ofc] some heavy inappropriate shit about me, like shit you'd only say to your bestfriend about your crush. Taking their precious time ringing us up and they keep talking about things they'd do to me, im letting it slide until one guy laughs and is telling his friend that they can't scam my dad since "He's an Asian boy, he knows his math." So then I join in also speaking in my second mother [Spanish] "So how much all together will this be, or are you gonna sit there and try to charge extra?"
@@ynslander3717 im black and asian and i can only speak english lmao my dad never taught me Chinese. I wanna learn Spanish and Chinese but i don’t know how to actually learn. Im so jealous that you know the two languages I wanna learn. Were you taught them as a kid? How does it feel to speak more than one language? I deadass be so mad that my parents never taught me another language so i gotta learn
We was in Paris on a school trip when this man comes up to us and asks us a question. My friend then goes "sorry we speak English." The man then walks off. He spoke to us in English...
Chinese players in pubg said "let's kill that guy and take his loot." His friend's said "yeah, sure" I killed them first. Edit: I meant friend, other guy joined due to random matchmaking
This is brilliant. I kill my teammate while playing with my friends. But we played pubg mobile and we were next to each other irl so we didnt have to use voice chat 8)
When I was staying in Las Vegas at Circus circus, I was in the elevators with my mom, with a huge Hispanic family shoved in with us. I don’t personally know much Spanish, but my mom grew up in Mexico for a few years. Keep in mind we are white, like COMPLETELY white. One of the Hispanic ladies said in Spanish, “Look at those crackers. They probably think they’re better than everyone because they’re white.” And one of the younger ladies said “I agree” so then my mom laughed, (I had no idea why) and as we were about to walk out, my mom said, “I don’t think I’m better than you because I’m white, I think I’m better than you because I don’t talk shit about people I don’t know.” In Spanish. The lady was in shock, looked over at the younger girl, and said “omg..” and that’s it. When we left I asked my mom what they said and we started laughing for hours because of the ladies face afterwards! 😂
When you're multi-lingual story: Pre-note: probably badly told My first language is English, but I was born in Thailand, so I understand it really well it can't speak it without sounding like a child. At this point in time, I was in either 4th or 5th grade. My best friend, who is thai, and I would talk to each other in thai sometimes, but otherwise, the other people at my table group didn't know I understood it. Ok, so, I'm here sitting at our lunch table at school, casually eating my soup while listening in to the current drama that's going on. They switch to Thai, and continue on with the conversation. So far so normal. At one point, one of them starts talking about the non-thai speakers at our table, and how we're all idiots who probably up working as factory workers. Ok, could be worse, right? I continue eating my noodles in my soup. They continue to get worse, with the friend starting to accuse my Indian friend of being marked by a demon because of the marking on her forehead (very common for her religion) I was about to tell them off before they mentioned my mother, so I decided to listen in on this comment before leaving. My mom has a rare condition that causes pressure to build up behind her eyes, and even with treatment, she will gradually become blind, or if it spreads, bedridden early. "You know how this dumb American girl-" I'm european "probably has lied about her mom too, her mom seems just fine. She probably just wants us to care about her with her interesting made up stories and pay for her stuff all the time. So what if her mom dies or something" another friend nodded, but the others we're abit bothered. I on the other hand, was FURIOUS. I stood up with my empty bowl, took my Indian friend by the hand, and told the girl (in english) "I'd like to hear more about this dumb American girl, huh? I'd love to see you trying to go blind for a day though. Wouldn't you?" Then in thai I said, "you female dog" (อีเหี้ย) and left with my Indian friend. Later I heard from my Thai bestie that the girl badmouthing us was shocked, and didn't realize what I said until my bestie told her I understood everything. That girl never sat at our table again, and everyone was happy because she made everyone uncomfortable. I still haven't told my Indian friend what they said about her though. If you read here, congratulations!
I was in the Dominican. I know how to speak Spanish. 2 employees at the Breathless Resort in Punta Cana called me and my friend "Fat Cows" in Spanish. Long story short, I got them fired. 🙃 I am Canadian so they just assumed I didn't know Spanish. Joke's on them.... eh!
My mum got on a bus. (We live in England) There was a woman sitting on a seat with a free seat next to her that she put her bag on and all the other seats in the bus were taken. My mum asked her to move her bag so she could sit politely and, looking very angry the woman did. She then started ranting in German (My mums first language) about how rude and annoying my mother was, etc. The next stop were my mother got off she told the woman, in German “It’s not that hard to take your bag off a damn chair” and left
A.k.a the “the other person was speaking in a different language that they didn’t know I knew, but then I spoke in that language and they get surprised and embarrassed” subreddit.
I have a great one, I can start off by saying I am from Norway so I ofc speak Norwegian and as most Norwegians, we understand Swedish and Danish to some extent, it works both ways, well I also happen to understand Russian to some Not fluently but I can get around, I Was eating out with my Father and my sister, and some Russians walked into the Resturant, They were in their early 30s late 20s, They where From a ship that had docked in our town port, and they were talking on their table about how great my sister looked, My sister, is a great looking 20 years old at the time, and found it funny, my dad that knows I can understand Russian asked me what they where up to, and I said it was about how they liked my sister, he laughed thought it was funny too, I manage to pick up during your stay at the restaurant that one of the sailors (or whatever) was a fiance to a sister to another man at their table and they were out eating and celebrating for the occasion, so when I left with my father and my sister, I when over to the Fiance at the table and congratulated him in Russian and had to break the news my sister was taken to the other men there, and they all died laughing.
My story: I live in a country that speaks French as a native language. Since my perants and I are English I go to a international school to learn in English. In this school there's a mix of locals and foreigners. Since I lived here my whole life I speak french. So at the beginning of the year there was two new girls that came to the school. The were natives and I could tell they didn't really like me for some reason. Then for the next three months every time I walked by them they talked shit and insulted me in French thinking I didn't understand,they called me all sorts of thing. After three months of this I had had enough. So one day i spoke to my friends in French right in front of them, the look on there faces were priceless. They said in shock "wait you speak frnech" and I said "oui"😂. From that day they always avoid me in the corridor.
We were in Austria last year, came to our Hotel's dinner, and this lady (who probably thought that I'm from Austria/Germany, since I learned like one sentence and managed to have a somewhat believable accent) started talking shit about us- meaning me, mom and dad- for bringing our dog with us. The waitress and even one of the cooks were 100% ok with us having our dog as long as she doesn't make a mess, since she's really small and behaves good (we met the cook last day and he spent about 10 minutes patting the dog, so he knew she had no problem around strangers). Anyway, this giant whale with clothing that wouldn't fit even me at a table next to us starts complaining about us (mainly me, since I was the one holding the dog). She starts using curse words and spends about 5 minutes ranting about it. About a meter from us. I have been learning English for 5 years at that point and my dad was an English teacher a few years back. We weren't even that mad, we just started laughing our asses off after the first few seconds, and had to explain everything to my mom, who didn't understand them.
My aunt, the classic blonde hair and blue eyes, was given up for adoption as a baby due to an unwanted pregnancy. She was adopted by a Hispanic family so Spanish was her first language. She also married my uncle who has a very cushy income. So her language skills have come into play on several occasions
My uncle worked in the military in France, so he was required to speak French as well as English. One day he was celebrating his birthday at a restaurant and my aunt asked the waitress for some small dessert so they could sing him happy birthday. The waitress came out with a huge cake and after they finished singing happy birthday, some people nearby called him a “greedy and fat American” in French. He turned around and in perfect French he asked them if they wanted a slice
On a holiday in Gran Canaria, British family but I took spanish in school and loved it so I kept it on till fluency, I’m talking English with my mum and we put a euro on the side of the pool table to reserve a space, spanish couple asks us in English if they can go next, we explain in English that we’ve reserved a spot cus we wanna sleep. Next 20 mins of just talking sh*t about us in Spanish, once we finish I tell them in Spanish “yeah you can go now we’re finished” i just liked the look on her face
I learned Dutch as a second language and for fun. So there was a girl in my class who had emigrated from the Netherlands and as soon as everybody found out that she was from another country they asked her to speak something in Dutch. She then said something along the lines of "well since you bitches want me to say something fuck you" in Dutch. Everybody smiled and though it was cool but I just waited till after class, called her over, and in Dutch told her "that was rude"
Okay I’m irish I live in Ireland and speak both English and Irish.This man came up to me pulled out his phone and put in google translate English to irish he typed in “Where is the shop?” and it came out in Irish in said in English “oh it’s just down there” and he just looked so embarrassed because he didn’t know I could speak English lol
This doesn’t have to do with other languages but it’s similar to these situations. My dog was born with a missing growth plate, it doesn’t hurt him. He could get surgery, but the odds of it working are very small, so he just has a bent leg. Well once we were standing line for something, my sister was holding scouts (our dog) leash. He was happy sniffing all the new people and things, and the lady’s behind us grew very fond of scout. But then later we herd one say to the other, “they must not take very good care of their dog. The poor things leg is broken.” Then my sister turns around and says, “actually, he was born with a missing growth plate in is left leg and there is nothing we can do. But it doesn’t hurt him.” The lady turned red from embarrassment, but it was really funny.😂
My italian grandparents were in france and they were talking shit on a couple with goth makeup. The couple stood up and said to each other in italian "lets go". My dad always reminds my grandparents of that lmao
I have a Story like that. I'm french and i was at the moment in the camping where my mom works and i'm playing ping pong (table tennis) with a Guy and a girl from the Netherlands around my age (15) and they were talking and joking around about me. But it so happens that as you can see, i'm one of those french guys who can actualy talk english.... So i switched to english and started talking with them. We're now friends.
You would think the more languages you speak the better chance of having an experience like this right? Well no actually, I speak 4 languages and nothing like this has ever come close to happening
both of my parents are bengali and i can understand and speak bangla. so one day my mom was facetiming her friend and her friend said in bangla that i’m getting fat. she didn’t realize that i understood her so i replied in bangla “i can’t hear you, can you repeat yourself?” and the look on her face was hilarious.
Mine is this I was in class (I’m pale and look extremely American) behind me I hear snickering and decide to listen in and there speakin in Spanish about ME and there talking about how I’m so pale I probably am super dumb and I have no clue what they are saying so I turn around (here is the fun part) I gave them this look of like “you talking about me?” And they look at me like ‘?’ And I decide to turn back around and continue my work and they start talking again! So I turn around and in Spanish I tell them “can you guys shut up I’m trying to do my work and also just cause I look like I only speak English doesn’t mean I don’t understand you” and they looked at me like * oh shit*
One of my classmates in college talked about a time she took a trip to France with her mother. While she didn't speak French her mother was fluent. They went to a restaurant, and during their visit two waitresses stood by their table talking to each other in French. The classmate didn't think anything of it until her mother suddenly spoke to them politely in French, and the waitresses looked mortified. Her mother later told her that the waitresses were talking about them very negatively in French, but were so confident that the classmate and her mother, as American tourists, couldn't understand them that they stood beside their table to make their negative remarks.
I have a story... So we were on vacation in Vietnam to visit relatives. My mom told everyone that I understood Vietnamese I just didn’t say anything, and the adults got the point. However, two kids for some reason didn’t believe it... They said my butt smelled good...
"But I bought my ticket with the SJ (Statens Jarnvagar) AKA Society of Jesus AHAHAHA the voice translate cracks me up as much as the actual language faux pas...
I went to Iceland one Summer, and we came across these Hungarian tourists. My family was pure Hungarian, but grew up in the u.s. My sister and I knew only a few phrases, but our dad was fluent. This was around our last day, after we had used a crappy tour bus. He volunteer to yell not to use this company in hungarian. We told him to, and we got a lot of heads turning. Point is, it was hilarious.
I've got a story like this happen to me, it's kind of the opposite of one of these, but it's still pretty funny. A few years back in school, we were starting to learn mandarin, chinese. It was the beginning of the year and the mandarin teacher called me back after school. I don't think I look very asain, but apparently, I do, a lot of people think i'm from china, at first glance. Anyway, teacher called me back in, and started talking about the extension program, the school offers for student who already know mandarin. I was really confused, and asked her, what? She replied, with no evidence that I spoke this language, "you speak mandarin, don't you?". I said no, and she kind of embarrassingly laughed it off and said I looked asian. I didn't really take offense to it, it was just kind of funny.
I speak russian and once I overheard two boys calling me stuff that were quite offensive. I shot back in russian and left as they were embarassed at what they did since I understood.
So I’m mixed white/Asian/ black and I’m either a. Mistaken for an Asian or b. Mistaken for a Latina. I can speak BOTH Spanish and Chinese.... this will be fun..... *Story 1* I’m at the Chinese supermarket and i ask in English for the price of the portable charger. I hear one ask the other in Chinese ,” how much was this again?” And the presumably owner says,” it’s supposed to be ¥70 but charge the dumb Mexican ¥120” the worker nods and turns back and says,” ¥120” I say,” one sec in English and pretend to answer the phone. Then I say,” she me? Ni yi Jin dao le? Wo Chong Dian bao ha mei mai ne!” Aka what? Your already here? I haven’t bought the portable charger yet! Then I hung up and promptly said in perfect chinese,” ¥55 take it or leave it” They took it. *story 2* I was hanging out with a friend when two elder Latina ladies bumped into us and knocked down my bag and stalked off saying,” estupido putas” which means stupid bitches when I went to get my bag I realized that one had dropped her phone. An idea popped into my head. I ran up with her phone and handed it to her saying in perfect Spanish,” you left this. I’m returning it even after you called me a stupid bitch. Don’t judge a book by its cover.” And walked off with my friend. The look on their faces...... *priceless*
It would have served her right if you just broke it and left it somewhere, but honestly I would have done the same thing... except without the "don't judge a book by its cover" part
I am from Brazil and I was in Portugal, so same language. This old lady was talking shit about tourists and I was listening to it, completely quiet, because I knew it was about me (me and my grandma, when we are together, we look like German or Italian, so apparently we don't speak portuguese). When it was almost her time to be helped (it was the line for the help in the train station), I started to speak to my grandma in Portuguese, our language. That old lady's face was totally priceless
Some British girls from next door said “Her dog is so ugly,it has to be ugly bc we don’t have one” I heard from outside (like the front yard thingy) and I walked up to them and said “my dog is a very ugly *mirror* right?” They just said “WHAT MOM!?” And went in their house when their mom didn’t even call them 😂😂😂
I thought that too, my parents are Hungarian and even though I was born in Australia, Hungarian was my first language. I can still understand Hungarian but I can't speak that well.
When I went to Japan, my family took a train from Kyoto to Wakayama. Our seats were a little behind these two old men, but it was still close enough that I could hear. My father doesn't dress well even for work, and he wasn't dress here either with khaki shorts, tube socks, exercise shoes, and a t-shirt. We pass the old men while speaking English about where our seat are and then one says: 「なんか変な爺来たったね」(some weird old man came). When we arrive, we get off the train, and then I let them know that I understood them by telling them「我父が変なったら、お前等死ねばいいや」(if my dad's weird, then you can just die). Neither of them got a heart attack, but their faces said otherwise.
I have short hair and I’m biologically a girl, as I’m walking down the stairs of my old school, minding my own fucking business, I hear a Lithuanian girl say, “Do you think that’s a girl or a boy?!” And then proceed to laugh obnoxiously. Without even realising, I stopped in the middle of the very busy stairs turned to the two Lithuanian kids and said IN LITHUANIAN, “I’m Lithuanian.” And then proceeded to walk away... I’ll never forget how she giggled right after I said that... Yeah my anger issues would’ve flipped their shit if this happened like 2 years ago End of story, don’t talk behind someone’s back (quite literally) and don’t question someone’s gender.
I'm from the States and live in Argentina. One day I was riding the city bus and a group of 4 or 5 Mormon missionaries got on. All were from the US, and as they sat in the back I could overhear their conversation, which was in English. Basically they were roasting every person that got on or off the bus, calling one a disgusting, fat cow, ridiculing the way people were dressed, making fun of their hair, laughing about how poor people are here, etc. When my stop came I stood up, walked over to them and in English cheerfully said "Hi! I overheard all of your conversation! I'm from the States too. Northeast Ohio. Hope you enjoy your stay here, have a nice day." Their jaws DROPPED. One got all red in the face. But none of them said a word back. I got off the bus and walked away laughing.
I have one, i used to be an exchange student in france. Around 4 months after i arrived, i went to this bakery-coffee shop with the other exchange student in my town and her french friends (they hated me because when i had just met them i couldn't speak french at all so i would communicate in English with this girl but by the time this happened my french was pretty good, they just didn't know because they would never talk to me). One girl asks something about me along the lines of "does she even speak french" and this other girl says (in a really rude way) "i have no idea, I'm sure she doesn't even understands us", so i answer with a really good accent "yeah, i speak french and i understand, i just don't bother talking to y'all" (they had been really rude and mean with me for the past four months)
Happened when I was in middle school Im Latino so I can speak both english and spanish well, but I don't look Mexican. I was playing tennis after school with my friend (who is American but had taken spanish since he was in first grade) and some group of 7th graders (my friend and I were in 8th) asked if they would borrow our ball. After a while, we were going to go home, so I ask them if I could have my ball back but they just toss it back and forth to each other not letting us have it. One of them says in spanish "No dejes que agarre la pelota" (dont let him take the ball) and at this I get mad and tell him, "Y porque no si esa pelota es mia?" (and why not, if that ball is mine?) Then my friend also in spanish says, "Denle su pelota" (give him his ball) the look on their faces were hilarious. In the end, I went up to the one that had the ball and took it from him. A few feet away, we walked away laughing. They didn't talk to us for the rest of the school year.
I live in South Florida and the amount of times I get a surprised “You can speak/ understand SPANISH?!” Or “does she understand Spanish?” honestly makes my day 😂
While walking to the train station I didn’t realise that there was a man on a scooter behind me, he yelled at me then I heard two Vietnamese ladies talk about how impolite and how unmannered I was... And I took that to heart.
I'm Vietnamese by descent, and my aunts and uncles are all as such. I was in California visiting my aunt and uncle with my brother and two cousins. None of us all distinguishingly Vietnamese, though. We all get seated a table near the cash register stand (you go up to pay after you eat your fill in this restaurant, nothing special for Vietnamese restaurants), and my uncle's the closest to the register. My brother orders a drink that's essentially sprite and fermented lemon. One women says that they don't have anymore sprite, so they would just use the sprite can they one of them was drinking. My uncle heard all this and scolded them for horrible service, and left, with us trailing behind, and the women looking shocked (and on the verge of tears due to the scolding). My uncle is not like this on a daily basis, but his family is family.
I always here things in the three languages I know. Since the people talking are strangers and are not addressing me anyway, even if they are talking about me, I just ignore them. Why would I care what complete strangers say about me in any language? They are nothing to me.
Me and my dad where driving down the road buy our house and this middle Eastern guy cut us off and went 20 under the speed limit, we passed them. They drove next to us in the emergency lane and started cursing us out in Arabic, My dad (I had no idea he spoke Arabic) screams get out of the Emergency lane you pig fucker in aribic , the guy made a u-turn and drove away.
A couple days ago, while I was in South Spain for holidays (still am) it was so hot they had to water the grass every damn day. Well once I was walking over the grass (there was a hidden muddle,) and I stepped in it. I then proceeded to signal to a Spanish couple that did not speak English for tissue. They looked at me as if they thought I Shit myself, as the mud was on my ass area 😂😂😂
I have one too: I recently shifted schools and ppl weren’t the nicest. I was in English class sitting with a girl who likes to rather speak my native than English (everyone knows English very well) and I am more comfortable speaking in English even tho I can speak pretty good in my native, so I was just sitting and I heard her say something rude I don’t remember what .

A group of three people were inside one of the shops at a mall. I was in my weeb phase and had been taking classes to learn Japanese. The group were making fun of the store and the people in it in japanese. when they started mocking my friend who was with me, I looked at them and remember thinking something like "They think we're stupid don't they?" before I muttered "shut up." in Japanese. I had just learned it that week and me being the 12 year old weeb i was at the time wanted to show off. They seemed embarrassed and left soon after. I have more with other languages, but i feel like thats one people would enjoy since I actually said something, and that I was a completely cringe worthy child at the time.
i have a beautiful one so I’ve learnt finnish from one of my best friends who lives in Finland for about three years now. last year we met. best experience of my life, but i have a stereotypically british face shape and of course my accent. i went to a store and I was talking to that friend in English, and then a group of guys said(in Finnish): “fucking british tourists, they probably drink tea!” i could only pick out about half of it and my friend told me the rest. so i replied with saying the first ten lines of the bee movie script in Finnish. the most beautiful moment of my entire life. me and my friend immediately told the rest of our online friend group as soon as we got back to their apartment. they were proud of us.
Funny enough my story is someone not thinking I spoke English. I was in France and they were making fun of my shoes in English. I turned around with a smirk and said “thanks”
Too many but what feels worse is when I am in my country and people still start with talking with me in English, then I have to think for a moment to talk in my fist language and make it awkward or English and move on....

once me and my fiance were having dinner and these old women passed by us and spoke in my native language saying "oh look how nowadays these young people get to walk around together and go outside without any engagement attached" she said it in such a rude tone so i turned and flashed her the ring and winked at them and the look on their faces was such a beautiful sight.
That was very rude of her to say. also just so you know you wrote "my mother language" instead of "another language".
Jasmine London yes I meant in my mother’s tongue
Sushi trash, I know what you mean but the English expression is « native language » (although you can also say « mother tongue » but that sounds a bit too ‘fancy’).

I'm half Afrikaans and half English. My Afrikaans side of the family is aware that I have been raised in English, but because of this they assume that I understand little to no Afrikaans, I cant speak it very well but I can understand almost everything. So an Afrikaans family member (I don't know the relation, this was a family reunion and I had no choice but to go) she started talking shit about me and my dad(who is English) about how he forced my mom to raise me in English and that he is going to force my mom to raise my little sister in English (who was a few months old at the time) this woman then proceeded to call my father many rude names and said that "this English kid" might as well not be here, that because I didn't speak her language, I wasn't even a part of her family. I tugged the woman's sleeve and she turned to look at me with a innocent face and said in English "Hello sweetie, can I help you?" I proceeded to say "First off, I can understand Afrikaans perfectly well, second, my mom is the one who chose to raise my sister and I in my father's mother tounge and lastly, I wouldn't want to be related to a woman like you who can trash talk a kid and her family." she turned red and stomped off like she was my age at the time;10 years old. I'm now 17 and I still laugh when I think about her face 😂

Was at a chinese nail salon, I was a freshman at the time and had taken chinese classes since kindergarten. So I’d say I was pretty fluent. Now the thing is, I’m Mexican. But I’m very pale. So I literally look pasty white. Getting my nails done, this group of chinese people come in WITH THEIR DOG(???) into the salon, they’re waiting and they’re making comments about me in chinese since I was the only one in the salon at the time. I get done, pay, and as I walk out, I look over to them and say “ I like your dog, he’s cute” in fluent chinese. The look on their face was p r I c e l e ss
What were they even saying?
她很胖。一点点可爱，但是胖。she is fat, a little cute, but fat. I’m like 5’3” and 140 pounds aha, I’m not even overweight, but I’m chinese culture it’s not as big as an insult to call someone fat than it is here lol

so I grew up speaking 2 languages, Latvian as my native and Russian as a second language cause here about 30% of the population is Russian so a pretty needed language.
this happened about 2 years ago when my looks were quite "emo" and I was wearing dark heavy makeup. one day when I was on a bus, there were two old Russian ladies sitting right in front of me. a minute before I was speaking with my friend on the phone who doesn't know Russian so I didn't use any Russian words with her in the conversation which I usually do a lot. so after that, they both assumed that since I was speaking without an accent I must not know Russian since the younger generation doesn't really bother learning it. they started to comment on my looks. how badly dressed I was, how I am ruining my hair with hair dye (pink), how my makeup made me look like a prostitute etc. all this time I was looking out of the window trying to think of a way to make them feel embarrassed. so I just called my mum and started to ask her about that day and her plans. when they heard me speaking (mind that I don't have an accent either) they just looked at each other embarrassed and tbh it made me feel good. I got off at the next stop and almost burst out laughing.
Haha, greetings from a half Russian latvian too!!
Idc but k

I’m not Russian but the language is in my opinion beautiful and I’m learning but it isn’t that good so let write something and if it is wrong plz correct me

I don't speak multiple languages (I can recognize the language based on pronunciation though), but I had a writing teacher that insulted me in Spanish. I asked her why she was saying that about me, but she switched to a different language instead. She knew English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Russian. Each time I asked her why kept insulting me; she finally switched back to English before asking how did I know what she was saying. I told her that since I couldn't hangout with friends, I had been studying other languages to pass time; and the first thing I studied was curse words and insults. She didn't insult me or anyone in my class in front of me and my 2 friends again.
Did the whole class stand up and clap while you were carried out of the school and given a national holiday?

Not my story but it's about a friend of mine.
He and his big brother(and family) went to Japan for his 15th birthday as a surprise because he and his brother were huge weebs. Because they watched so much anime they both picked up some Japanese. His brother pretty much spoke it normally at that point but my friend spoke with a heavy Israeli accent so no could understand what he was saying(basically could understand the language but couldn't really speak it properly).
So 2 teenaged girls walk by them and talk about how my friend is cute. When they were about to part ways his brother said in Japanese something among the lines like "my brother is single call him" and both the girls and my friend were bright red and when my friend came back he was floating with confidence for a month until he stalled down. Probably the funniest month of my life.
Also just realised that a lot of those stories are from Israeli people. Guess my nation is good at picking up languages
Awwww this is so cute!

Yes you can. I've been watching anime for a long time now and although I can't really speak it I understand quite a lot of Japanese. I imagine if someone was actually trying to learn or was just better at picking up languages than me, he/she could manage to become fluent in it.

When I was staying in Las Vegas at Circus circus, I was in the elevators with my mom, with a huge Hispanic family shoved in with us. I don’t personally know much Spanish, but my mom grew up in Mexico for a few years. Keep in mind we are white, like COMPLETELY white. One of the Hispanic ladies said in Spanish, “Look at those crackers. They probably think they’re better than everyone because they’re white.” And one of the younger ladies said “I agree” so then my mom laughed, (I had no idea why) and as we were about to walk out, my mom said, “I don’t think I’m better than you because I’m white, I think I’m better than you because I don’t talk shit about people I don’t know.” In Spanish. The lady was in shock, looked over at the younger girl, and said “omg..” and that’s it. When we left I asked my mom what they said and we started laughing for hours because of the ladies face afterwards! 😂
When you're multi-lingual story:
Pre-note: probably badly told
My first language is English, but I was born in Thailand, so I understand it really well it can't speak it without sounding like a child. At this point in time, I was in either 4th or 5th grade. My best friend, who is thai, and I would talk to each other in thai sometimes, but otherwise, the other people at my table group didn't know I understood it.
Ok, so, I'm here sitting at our lunch table at school, casually eating my soup while listening in to the current drama that's going on. They switch to Thai, and continue on with the conversation. So far so normal. At one point, one of them starts talking about the non-thai speakers at our table, and how we're all idiots who probably up working as factory workers. Ok, could be worse, right? I continue eating my noodles in my soup. They continue to get worse, with the friend starting to accuse my Indian friend of being marked by a demon because of the marking on her forehead (very common for her religion) I was about to tell them off before they mentioned my mother, so I decided to listen in on this comment before leaving. My mom has a rare condition that causes pressure to build up behind her eyes, and even with treatment, she will gradually become blind, or if it spreads, bedridden early. "You know how this dumb American girl-" I'm european "probably has lied about her mom too, her mom seems just fine. She probably just wants us to care about her with her interesting made up stories and pay for her stuff all the time. So what if her mom dies or something" another friend nodded, but the others we're abit bothered. I on the other hand, was FURIOUS. I stood up with my empty bowl, took my Indian friend by the hand, and told the girl (in english) "I'd like to hear more about this dumb American girl, huh? I'd love to see you trying to go blind for a day though. Wouldn't you?" Then in thai I said, "you female dog" (อีเหี้ย) and left with my Indian friend.
Later I heard from my Thai bestie that the girl badmouthing us was shocked, and didn't realize what I said until my bestie told her I understood everything.
That girl never sat at our table again, and everyone was happy because she made everyone uncomfortable. I still haven't told my Indian friend what they said about her though.

My story: I live in a country that speaks French as a native language. Since my perants and I are English I go to a international school to learn in English. In this school there's a mix of locals and foreigners. Since I lived here my whole life I speak french. So at the beginning of the year there was two new girls that came to the school. The were natives and I could tell they didn't really like me for some reason. Then for the next three months every time I walked by them they talked shit and insulted me in French thinking I didn't understand,they called me all sorts of thing. After three months of this I had had enough. So one day i spoke to my friends in French right in front of them, the look on there faces were priceless. They said in shock "wait you speak frnech" and I said "oui"😂. From that day they always avoid me in the corridor.

We were in Austria last year, came to our Hotel's dinner, and this lady (who probably thought that I'm from Austria/Germany, since I learned like one sentence and managed to have a somewhat believable accent) started talking shit about us- meaning me, mom and dad- for bringing our dog with us. The waitress and even one of the cooks were 100% ok with us having our dog as long as she doesn't make a mess, since she's really small and behaves good (we met the cook last day and he spent about 10 minutes patting the dog, so he knew she had no problem around strangers).
Anyway, this giant whale with clothing that wouldn't fit even me at a table next to us starts complaining about us (mainly me, since I was the one holding the dog). She starts using curse words and spends about 5 minutes ranting about it. About a meter from us. I have been learning English for 5 years at that point and my dad was an English teacher a few years back.
We weren't even that mad, we just started laughing our asses off after the first few seconds, and had to explain everything to my mom, who didn't understand them.

Speaking multiple languages is fun.
I learned Dutch as a second language and for fun. So there was a girl in my class who had emigrated from the Netherlands and as soon as everybody found out that she was from another country they asked her to speak something in Dutch. She then said something along the lines of "well since you bitches want me to say something fuck you" in Dutch. Everybody smiled and though it was cool but I just waited till after class, called her over, and in Dutch told her "that was rude"

I went to Iceland one Summer, and we came across these Hungarian tourists. My family was pure Hungarian, but grew up in the u.s. My sister and I knew only a few phrases, but our dad was fluent. This was around our last day, after we had used a crappy tour bus. He volunteer to yell not to use this company in hungarian. We told him to, and we got a lot of heads turning. Point is, it was hilarious.
I've got a story like this happen to me, it's kind of the opposite of one of these, but it's still pretty funny.
A few years back in school, we were starting to learn mandarin, chinese. It was the beginning of the year and the mandarin teacher called me back after school. I don't think I look very asain, but apparently, I do, a lot of people think i'm from china, at first glance. Anyway, teacher called me back in, and started talking about the extension program, the school offers for student who already know mandarin. I was really confused, and asked her, what? She replied, with no evidence that I spoke this language, "you speak mandarin, don't you?". I said no, and she kind of embarrassingly laughed it off and said I looked asian. I didn't really take offense to it, it was just kind of funny.
WAIT, AT THE BEGINNING DID THAT SAY....

Wonder if there the same stories
Man, I love to buy my tickets at the society of jesus

Super Kitty I would probably get beat up Vietnamese people are mean.

Thats the best one i've heard in a long time!🤣
So I’m mixed white/Asian/ black and I’m either a. Mistaken for an Asian or b. Mistaken for a Latina. I can speak BOTH Spanish and Chinese.... this will be fun.....
*Story 1*
I’m at the Chinese supermarket and i ask in English for the price of the portable charger. I hear one ask the other in Chinese ,” how much was this again?” And the presumably owner says,” it’s supposed to be ¥70 but charge the dumb Mexican ¥120” the worker nods and turns back and says,” ¥120” I say,” one sec in English and pretend to answer the phone. Then I say,” she me? Ni yi Jin dao le? Wo Chong Dian bao ha mei mai ne!” Aka what? Your already here? I haven’t bought the portable charger yet! Then I hung up and promptly said in perfect chinese,” ¥55 take it or leave it”
They took it.
*story 2* I was hanging out with a friend when two elder Latina ladies bumped into us and knocked down my bag and stalked off saying,” estupido putas” which means stupid bitches when I went to get my bag I realized that one had dropped her phone. An idea popped into my head. I ran up with her phone and handed it to her saying in perfect Spanish,” you left this. I’m returning it even after you called me a stupid bitch. Don’t judge a book by its cover.” And walked off with my friend. The look on their faces......
*priceless*
It would have served her right if you just broke it and left it somewhere, but honestly I would have done the same thing... except without the "don't judge a book by its cover" part
I am from Brazil and I was in Portugal, so same language. This old lady was talking shit about tourists and I was listening to it, completely quiet, because I knew it was about me (me and my grandma, when we are together, we look like German or Italian, so apparently we don't speak portuguese). When it was almost her time to be helped (it was the line for the help in the train station), I started to speak to my grandma in Portuguese, our language. That old lady's face was totally priceless
Pure embodiment of "Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover"
Pretty much.
Some British girls from next door said “Her dog is so ugly,it has to be ugly bc we don’t have one” I heard from outside (like the front yard thingy) and I walked up to them and said “my dog is a very ugly *mirror* right?” They just said “WHAT MOM!?” And went in their house when their mom didn’t even call them 😂😂😂

1:06 this is the first story I’ve seen/heard about a Hungarian. Kinda made me happy.
(I’m Hungarian too)
I thought that too, my parents are Hungarian and even though I was born in Australia, Hungarian was my first language. I can still understand Hungarian but I can't speak that well.
When I went to Japan, my family took a train from Kyoto to Wakayama. Our seats were a little behind these two old men, but it was still close enough that I could hear. My father doesn't dress well even for work, and he wasn't dress here either with khaki shorts, tube socks, exercise shoes, and a t-shirt. We pass the old men while speaking English about where our seat are and then one says: 「なんか変な爺来たったね」(some weird old man came). When we arrive, we get off the train, and then I let them know that I understood them by telling them「我父が変なったら、お前等死ねばいいや」(if my dad's weird, then you can just die). Neither of them got a heart attack, but their faces said otherwise.
I have short hair and I’m biologically a girl, as I’m walking down the stairs of my old school, minding my own fucking business, I hear a Lithuanian girl say, “Do you think that’s a girl or a boy?!” And then proceed to laugh obnoxiously. Without even realising, I stopped in the middle of the very busy stairs turned to the two Lithuanian kids and said IN LITHUANIAN, “I’m Lithuanian.” And then proceeded to walk away... I’ll never forget how she giggled right after I said that... Yeah my anger issues would’ve flipped their shit if this happened like 2 years ago
End of story, don’t talk behind someone’s back (quite literally) and don’t question someone’s gender.
I'm from the States and live in Argentina. One day I was riding the city bus and a group of 4 or 5 Mormon missionaries got on. All were from the US, and as they sat in the back I could overhear their conversation, which was in English. Basically they were roasting every person that got on or off the bus, calling one a disgusting, fat cow, ridiculing the way people were dressed, making fun of their hair, laughing about how poor people are here, etc. When my stop came I stood up, walked over to them and in English cheerfully said "Hi! I overheard all of your conversation! I'm from the States too. Northeast Ohio. Hope you enjoy your stay here, have a nice day." Their jaws DROPPED. One got all red in the face. But none of them said a word back. I got off the bus and walked away laughing.

" With the company *society of Jesus* "
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I have one, i used to be an exchange student in france. Around 4 months after i arrived, i went to this bakery-coffee shop with the other exchange student in my town and her french friends (they hated me because when i had just met them i couldn't speak french at all so i would communicate in English with this girl but by the time this happened my french was pretty good, they just didn't know because they would never talk to me). One girl asks something about me along the lines of "does she even speak french" and this other girl says (in a really rude way) "i have no idea, I'm sure she doesn't even understands us", so i answer with a really good accent "yeah, i speak french and i understand, i just don't bother talking to y'all" (they had been really rude and mean with me for the past four months)
Happened when I was in middle school
Im Latino so I can speak both english and spanish well, but I don't look Mexican. I was playing tennis after school with my friend (who is American but had taken spanish since he was in first grade) and some group of 7th graders (my friend and I were in 8th) asked if they would borrow our ball. After a while, we were going to go home, so I ask them if I could have my ball back but they just toss it back and forth to each other not letting us have it. One of them says in spanish "No dejes que agarre la pelota" (dont let him take the ball) and at this I get mad and tell him, "Y porque no si esa pelota es mia?" (and why not, if that ball is mine?) Then my friend also in spanish says, "Denle su pelota" (give him his ball) the look on their faces were hilarious. In the end, I went up to the one that had the ball and took it from him. A few feet away, we walked away laughing. They didn't talk to us for the rest of the school year.
I live in South Florida and the amount of times I get a surprised “You can speak/ understand SPANISH?!” Or “does she understand Spanish?” honestly makes my day 😂
While walking to the train station I didn’t realise that there was a man on a scooter behind me, he yelled at me then I heard two Vietnamese ladies talk about how impolite and how unmannered I was... And I took that to heart.
I'm Vietnamese by descent, and my aunts and uncles are all as such.
I was in California visiting my aunt and uncle with my brother and two cousins. None of us all distinguishingly Vietnamese, though. We all get seated a table near the cash register stand (you go up to pay after you eat your fill in this restaurant, nothing special for Vietnamese restaurants), and my uncle's the closest to the register. My brother orders a drink that's essentially sprite and fermented lemon. One women says that they don't have anymore sprite, so they would just use the sprite can they one of them was drinking. My uncle heard all this and scolded them for horrible service, and left, with us trailing behind, and the women looking shocked (and on the verge of tears due to the scolding).
My uncle is not like this on a daily basis, but his family is family.
Wee Woo Wee woo🚨🚨🚨🚨
Stolen content
bruh
Bruh it’s yt
how is it stolen content? people who post on reddit are putting there posts into the public and probably know it can be used in these types of videos.
Idek Where I am wow two people responding with bruh. We truly live in a society
TheGalacticFlamingo apparently he stole content from “brainydude”.
I read ahead with these and I read Lebanese guys as lesbian guys and I started laughing so damn hard
When I heard the story of the Indian aunt, my head remade the whole convo in gujarati 😂😂🤣🤣😅
I always here things in the three languages I know. Since the people talking are strangers and are not addressing me anyway, even if they are talking about me, I just ignore them. Why would I care what complete strangers say about me in any language? They are nothing to me.
Me and my dad where driving down the road buy our house and this middle Eastern guy cut us off and went 20 under the speed limit, we passed them.
They drove next to us in the emergency lane and started cursing us out in Arabic, My dad (I had no idea he spoke Arabic) screams get out of the Emergency lane you pig fucker in aribic , the guy made a u-turn and drove away.
Wow-
You popped up in my recommended so here i am. Subscribed buddy!
xLXLimpNoodleXDx -_- slasher stole this from another channel lmao
A couple days ago, while I was in South Spain for holidays (still am) it was so hot they had to water the grass every damn day. Well once I was walking over the grass (there was a hidden muddle,) and I stepped in it. I then proceeded to signal to a Spanish couple that did not speak English for tissue. They looked at me as if they thought I Shit myself, as the mud was on my ass area 😂😂😂
Me having Duolingo but the owl is not comingIng for me
Me: is something wrong (in intense scared voice)
I have one too:
I recently shifted schools and ppl weren’t the nicest. I was in English class sitting with a girl who likes to rather speak my native than English (everyone knows English very well) and I am more comfortable speaking in English even tho I can speak pretty good in my native, so I was just sitting and I heard her say something rude I don’t remember what . And then I said in English “u realise I speak *native* right?” She kinda blushed and was making excuses and was like “what u do know?.” I was like in my native “uh yea”
9:39 The sister was probably like “Wow how nice of them to give us free food!”
When I went into my school everyone was speaking English and Spanish and i was just speaking english even though I’m Dominican, I finally spoke Spanish and people were surprised that I could even speak Spanish
was in a brittish restaurant in london, they probably heard us speaking dutch. they came to take our order trying their best to articulate everything loudly. i cleared my throat and in my best brittish accent i gave her our orders. the flustered face made it worth it.
A group of three people were inside one of the shops at a mall. I was in my weeb phase and had been taking classes to learn Japanese. The group were making fun of the store and the people in it in japanese. when they started mocking my friend who was with me, I looked at them and remember thinking something like "They think we're stupid don't they?" before I muttered "shut up." in Japanese. I had just learned it that week and me being the 12 year old weeb i was at the time wanted to show off. They seemed embarrassed and left soon after.
I have more with other languages, but i feel like thats one people would enjoy since I actually said something, and that I was a completely cringe worthy child at the time.
thought that i already watch this & later realized that i already have read it on reddit lmao
i have a beautiful one
so I’ve learnt finnish from one of my best friends who lives in Finland for about three years now. last year we met. best experience of my life, but i have a stereotypically british face shape and of course my accent. i went to a store and I was talking to that friend in English, and then a group of guys said(in Finnish): “fucking british tourists, they probably drink tea!”
i could only pick out about half of it and my friend told me the rest.
so i replied with saying the first ten lines of the bee movie script in Finnish. the most beautiful moment of my entire life. me and my friend immediately told the rest of our online friend group as soon as we got back to their apartment. they were proud of us.
Part 2 PLEASEEEE
Funny enough my story is someone not thinking I spoke English. I was in France and they were making fun of my shoes in English. I turned around with a smirk and said “thanks”
10:27 i burst out laughing when it said: society of Jesus.
And then proceeded to pronounce Statens Järnvägar as: Statens Jaernveggr. 🤣
Too many but what feels worse is when I am in my country and people still start with talking with me in English, then I have to think for a moment to talk in my fist language and make it awkward or English and move on....
Me and my very Latino looking *fin a cay*
Anybody else notice that 😂
Edit: Its at 5:04
