Speaking 5+ Languages with my Polyglot Grandma (Part I)

I had a conversation with my Grandma that included English, French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, (and we also touched on Arabic and Greek).

We spoke a little bit about what it's like moving to different countries, and adapting to a new culture or language. I hope you enjoy.

Nathaniel : How many languages can you speak?
Grandma : Yes.

I respect her. She is literally the person I wanna be in the future.

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

She literally lives to respect people. She learned languages out of respect. Beautiful vibes.

As a guy who lived in Egypt and Italy, born in Tunisia going to a french school for my whole life and now living in London, I felt very touched by this <3

As an Argentinian person (especially one who hasn't lived there for over 8 years), hearing you speak Spanish in our dialect was so heartwarming. The second I heard your grandma say "la Argentina" instead of just Argentina I melted. Thank you so much for sharing this

I’m bilingual but this just gave me the biggest push to learn even more languages

[Ste_bo]

Your grandma speaks English with an incredible Italian accent and speaks Italian with an incredible Spanish accent! She's wonderful!

This woman is everything I aspire to be.

Your grandmother is such an inspiration ❤️

Grandma got dat wisdom, doe. "If you like the place, learn the language." Yes, ma'am.

[Simon-tcmc]

I'm more impressed that he's speaking all the languages too

[swwinsqmepl]

Me: waiting for polish
The guy: dokładnie

[enzobt]

It's impressive how she can just switch to Italian even though she hasn't lived in Italy for 55+ years! Great video

Her accent in French is phenomenal. She sounds like she is a very highly educated Egyptian. Her accent in English though is very much French. But it’s perfect. Can you imagine how educated her kids must be, because her grandson sounds like an awesome person.

Me: speaks English, French, Spanish, Arab and italian
Also me: read subtitles just to make sure

Nacio en Egipto, se fue a Italia, hablaba Francés, vino a Argentina y habla mejor que yo lpm.

As someone who is fully EN - ES bilingual, grew up with Italian grandparents, and lived in France for a little bit… I’m so proud of myself for how much I was able to understand! This was beautiful to watch! Thank you for sharing this with us! Your grandma and her eternal wisdom is everything I aspire to be!
