I ask strangers at Harvard University what languages they speak. As you can see, Harvard is a very multicultural place full of languages from all around the world. Hope you enjoy, and you may support my work if you chose to :)

If you speak two languages, you’re bilingual. Three languages? You’re trilingual. Only one language? Congratulations! You’re American 😂

Foreign students are the only speaking other languages 😂

Being Harvard students, I was expecting way more people to speak in at least another language. The only ones speaking two or more were the foreigners.

First generations not speaking their parents' maternal language always bogles my mind. This is the stupidest thing a parent can do to their child. Being bilingual is not only a useful tool in life but it basically builds a child's brain, helping them with concentration, memory and creativity.

If you go to the polyglot conference and ask them "how many languages do you speak?", it would be very interesting :)

The fact that the guy at 1:28 started learning English at the age of 16-17 and still made it to Harvard is crazy.

I speak three languages: Argentinian, Peruvian and Uruguayan. And sometimes I understand Chilean, but it is very difficult.

i'm surprised about the lack of variety of languages. it seemed to be mostly Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German. i thought i'd see a lot more Chinese languages

It surprises me how many Harvard students speak only one language or just "one and a half". I mean, in Spain you cant graduate from University without a B2 level (upper-intermediate) in a second language, and Im talking about every University in the country. I thought for Harvard you would need at least 3.

I can’t believe I’ve been in Montreal for 1.5 years now and Dan still haven’t asked me how many languages I speak 😢

É incrível saber quando uma pessoa é brasileira antes mesmo dela falar que sabe português😂

To the girl who spook Arabic. That was amazing! Both in grammar and pronunciation!
Btw she also said "Good morning" but forgot to translate it haha. Good luck to everyone wishing and is learning any language. It is tough, but the result is just beautiful and satisfying :)

I speak six languages: English, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and a year of French in college. Covid allowed me the chance to spend three hours a day on three languages and I haven’t missed a day since!
