    • @Zzmora
      @Zzmora 6 років тому +11

      Have you ever thought that the fact that there are no direct translations to a word means that one society gave so much importance to that meaning that they made up a word for it while the other society didn't and so language carries the culture's way of thinking? I read it somewhere and thought it was interesting enough to share here :)

    I love how they're speaking, cause it's exactly how I talk most of the time. Especially when I have to talk in Persian, there's always some Dutch infused in it.. Sometimes it's not practical, for example with relatives from Iran, who aren't able to understand that one Dutch word you can't remember the Persian translation for. But most of the time this type of talking comes very handy, it's multi cultural and sounds very international to the ears.. I love being raised bilingual and I for most love seeing other immigrants talk in their mother language. We should always be proud of our origin and share our multi-cultural nurture into the western society, so that they're educated and aware of the story of how our parents raised us in an unknown country.

    Now I understand and speak 6 languages and and I’m 17 years old. I know now that I have better travel experiences because i can adapt quicker than others. I have learned to accept my differences from the people and the culture.

My son is treated like a K pop star in his school now because he just came from Korea and resembles a bit one of the members from BTS. My daughter sometimes has unwanted favor asked if she can take them over to my home and watch K pop together or eat kimbap or ddukppokki.

      Great language combination. English is practical for obvious reasons, German is all around a great language in terms of phonetic and culture is beautiful, and Korean is regarded as one of the only pleasant sounding Asian languages along with Japanese. I recommend you learn Japanese or a Latin based language because the romantic languages of Europe are beautiful.
      Btw Caribbean culture is dope as hell. Music and cultural diversity of creole European mixed with West African tradition is amazing.

    I had a Korean friend in Middle school and he Invited me to have Korean BBQ with his family. I remember being soooo excited about eating Korean BBQ because I had heard so much about it and I had never tried it. So he sends me the address where to meet him and it is in a park, my mom drops me off and he is there with some of his family and they are Barbecuing at a grill like hot dogs, burgers, and chicken. I asked him kind of confused, "this is Korean BBQ , it's just hotdogs and burgers this is American BBQ" he laughed, pointed at his mom barbecuing and said "Yeah, Korean's barbecuing." -_- Well that was 10 years ago and I have yet had an actual authentic Korean BBQ...

    I would think one of the major differences would be the hierarchy. Addressing older and younger people with appropriate tone and honorifics. That's not really a thing in America. We are all taught to honor our elders. And I think that's something we all stick to. Our elders are important no matter which ethnicity you come from. But we don't usually use formal speaking when around schoolmates or coworkers who are older. We generally tend to see each other on equal terms if we have the same job titles or are only a few years older. Most of the people I work with on night shift are young. Barely out of high school or about to graduate. But I don't see a point in having them address me formally even if I'm 10 years older. However, I will use formal tone when its appropriate. My boss or customers "Yes sir/ma'am."

      It depends on where you live. Like one of them said, he didn't experience that kind of disrespect until he moved to a school in Boston where he suddenly became one of the only Asians out of 400 students.
      A lot of minorities experience this when they're one of the only kids of their ethnicity in a school. However, there are also a lot of schools where minorities are part of a tightly knit community, and their population is much higher.
      The schools I went to had a pretty balanced mix of minorities, so harassment was rare. On the other hand, I knew people from other schools only a few miles away, and they were very isolated.

    I live in an area where there aren’t a lot of Koreans in Michigan, so there’s little to no other Koreans in my area. I’m in high school right now, and I’m not very social, so when one of my friends told me there were one or two other Koreans in our school, I was kind of excited. However, they were different from me because I have Korean parents, while they were adopted by a white family. And not only were we influenced differently with culture, I am the only female Korean in my high school and we are in different grades. I don’t know the boys at all, so it’d be kinda weird to try to be friends with them. I really wish there was someone in my grade that was Korean and maybe have the same classes together.

      Northern California’s Union City is about like 65% Asian! It’s crazy the Bay Area is filled with Asians

    I'm not grew up anywhere else. Just living in Borneo, Malaysia. We native especially mix speak 2 languages at home. As we go to school, we learn Malay and English. Some go for Mandarin or Tamil Class. Then, in university, we learn either Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French and etc. So I think, its good to know more languages.
