The Matrix Broke when I Suddenly Switched Languages

What happens when I speak 5 languages to girls on the streets of Japan? I go up to strangers in Tokyo and code switch between different languages mid-conversation.

These interactions are just MAGICAL. They immediately break the ice for having a friendly conversation!

My impression is that people are mostly surprised to encounter a complete stranger confidently initiating a conversation as this is not a common thing (especially from a lady) in Asia.

*Of course I made it to the end of the video - that's just what your #1 fan in Seattle does!* 🤗

Such a sweet video! I just love the genuine reactions from people when you speak their language with such skill! As a life-long language learner, myself, I've enjoyed watching your channel grow. Congrats on one and a quarter million subs! Warm regards from Atlanta, GA. USA!

I absolutely love this video! You bring so much joy, not only to the people you interact with on the streets, but your audience as well. I feel completely comfortable watching the conversation unfold as if I'm a participant. You do a great job with this channel!

When i saw you speaking Cantonese, I was like "Oh this must be one of those practice in person" days. And I was right! I admittingly haven't started Pimsleur but I truly think watching your videos over the last 4 years has given me strangely the courage to start therapy and figure out how to be more outgoing and do social activities outside of my comfort zone. AND to speak more in Spanish when I have a customer (I took so many years, I still cant reply back well, but I understand it LOL).

You are like a diplomat, an ambassador, the best one ever! When I was in Africa, I remember getting a lot of attention but not always loving it. I remember the reaction of kids, mostly curiosity but sometimes even fear. But when I felt overwhelmed at times, I would stop myself to remind myself, YOU ARE HERE. I was blessed to be there and see the world from a new perspective and learn other languages. We don't need to be afraid, even with huge differences in culture, we find our common ground. We're all people doing our best and wanting the best for our children.

I love your videos!! Just wonderful to watch you connect with people through language, they open up right away. We should all speak several languages if only to create more connection with one another.
