123

I love how you're always so humble.

124

Like, people, when we learn other languages,

125

we're like, Oh, I'm fluent in Spanish, but barely speak Spanish.

126

When other people learn English,

127

they're like, I know a little bit,

128

and they're really good at English.

129

I am mediocre with Spanish.

Oh, that's hard.

171

One more time.

172

Gong jiao chu.

173

Gong jiao chu.

174

Yeah.

175

If something is beautiful or if you say something is pretty like bonita,

176

I think that's one of my favorite words.

177

Hello in Turkish.

178

Oh, let us know.

179

Let us know.

180

181

182

Merhaba.

183

Yeah.

184

What about yours?

185

I learned how to say kiss kiss for like Italian.

186

It's like bachi bachi or something like that.

187

Very cool.

188

You ready to travel?

189

We're ready.

190

We're ready.

191

Do you remember any German words?

192

Speak in German.

193

You're a little bit older.

194

You're a little bit older.

195

Pequeñita in Spanish.

196

It means like little but in an endearing way.

197

My word is fubutsushi, which is like objects and environmental surroundings that make you feel the seasons.

198

Japanese?

199

In Japanese, fubutsushi.

200

My word would be shogunai ne.

201

Shogunai ne.

202

Which means it cannot be helped.

203

Shahumoru.

204

Shahumoru.

205

Like, hi, how are you?

206

Nice, nice.

207

I would love for you to teach me a word in one of the languages that you know that's not English.

208

Let's say apple in Chinese is...

209

Okay, how is it?

210

Pianguo.

211

Pianguo.

212

That's good.

213

Nice!

214

Last one.

215

Do you think it's still important to learn languages?

216

Now that we have tech and all that stuff that can translate for us?

217

I mean, absolutely.

218

You gotta speak.

219

You can't just walk to people and be like,

220

here's my cell phone and I'm going to let my cell phone talk to you.

221

I think it's very disrespectful and very inefficient in conversation. Of course.

222

Like to learn different cultures and to be able to interact with other people, of course.

223

And do you think that it's still important for people to learn languages now

224

that we have tech that can translate for us?

225

You still need to learn basics because I was working in multiple languages.

226

So sometimes you need translator who can't speak it very much.

227

Like even a little that's still good.

228

You still impress that people can speak that language.

229

100% it's a lot easier now to call it in.

230

You'll just go from anywhere,

231

even from your own world.

232

If I didn't speak Japanese,

233

I would have never met any of these people.

234

Yeah, yeah, of course, for sure.

235

If I don't speak English,

236

I can't do anything here, I think.

237

I think learning other people's language helps you not only to communicate,

238

but also to understand the way they think.

239

You really need to learn the language to fully understand.

240

Translation is never fully enough to truly understand a culture.

241

Yeah, for sure, because I just think it helps you connect with people, right?

242

We speak a different language, they appreciate it more.

243

Instead of always having to rely on your phone or something, for sure.

244

Do you think it's still valuable or important for people to learn languages now

245

that we have technology that can do it all for us?

246

100% yeah.

247

Why do you think so?

248

Like human connection and like I mean

249

if you talk as a man they pull out their phone like wait let me translate it's gonna ruin the vibe.

250

Sure I think language is such an authentic part of being human

251

and being able to speak more than one is just a beautiful gift

252

that people should take advantage of in order to connect more authentically with others.

253

Yeah, I think so.

254

Because you can't replace like communicating with a person and not in person.

255

So like in conversations and stuff.

256

I think it's important to learn and communicate with other people instead of just typing it in your phone and translate.

257

Yes, first of all, English is the most important thing

258

because we have to communicate with many people who are from another country.

259

So it's very important to learn English.

260

Do you think that it's still important for people to learn other languages now

261

that we have tech that can translate for us?

262

You want to go anywhere.

263

It's just like there's going to be other languages.

264

And I feel like you're not going to want to be the type of person

265

that looks like you're just pulling out your phone to like communicate with others.

266

So I do think learning new languages is important.

267

Because sometimes there's places like I want to go and like things I want to see.

268

And it can be kind of intimidating like when you travel outside the U.S and you can't really like communicate.

269

But I feel like like,

270

you know, if we learn languages like a younger age,

271

especially it can like take some of that stigma like fear out of the way.

272

That's so true, that's so true.

273

Oh yeah definitely.

274

You think so?

275

Yeah.

276

Why?

277

Well it's really good for your brain first of all

278

and then I think that it's also just a sign of like respect and appreciation for other people.

279

I like that.

280

It's also the association that you have with words so the way we interpret them as well as use them.

281

The way someone might just say something is red versus maroon.

282

And also there is a barrier between us and a computer when someone and translate it.

283

That's the AI's version, so that's someone else's interpretation.

284

Last question is, do you think people should still learn languages now that we have technology that can translate for us?

285

Yes.

286

It opens like a whole new college church for you.

287

I think it's just like nice to be able to expand your mind with languages and I don't know,

288

New York City is a very good city to do it in.

289

You find people from all around the world and you can

290

definitely learn new languages and I think it's really nice to do that.

291

Want to say anything?

292

Yeah, like we bonded over speaking multiple languages.

293

That's awesome.

294

Here's the place to do it.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
