Well I have heard of Afrikaans but what's that other one?

Sounds like some ancient Greek language from thousands of years ago.

Xhosa for short. It's the language of the African people in this province of South Africa.

You can see that there are other videos there with the same people
showing you different phrases in Japanese. It's educational
but it's also very funny. I think the girl Remi is really very funny.

My aunt and uncle speak Japanese. It's the second hardest language to learn.

What's the hardest?

Mandarin.

Swedish

In spite of having a Greek-born father, and many language studies in French, German and Italian, I still can't communicate in anything except English. 🙁

I think Sichuan is harder, Mandarin is like Thai, 5 separate tones. Sich and some other similar languages has 9 tones that you have to differentiate.

Personally, I have a hole in my head where languages could go. I love linguistics but am decidedly monolingual in spite of living in Thailand for 3 years, Israel for 4 and a couple of years on Andros Island in the bahamas, where they speak English but with a heavy island accent. I can count to ten in Thai and Hebrew but that is about it, oh, Leo Qua, Leo Sigh, turn left, turn right in Thai🙂 Tali Baht Cop (how much does that cost?) Sigh. I should have spent those years in a thai class. At least I know what Guiteo Nam Ganja is (totally mis-spelled for sure)
