Well i would say to all speak spanish if you wish for one global language.
Because it's just as easy as italian to learn and they sound are verry much alike.
It's the number 3 of the world (if you would like a link to the source i can give it to you just message me).
But at that point Wade Davis would also disagree and i would recommend you to see the TED talk that he gave. i hope/think you would find it verry inspiring his subject is: cultures at the edge of the world.
I'm Sicilian as well, I understand but I'm not able to speak Sicilian, I speak only the official Italian, both my parents are from Messina, but I live now in Milan in the last 30 years.
We do have an extremely complex grammatical structure, that hardly anyone uses it anymore in daily speaking. It’s true that it’s one of the most musical languages because nearly all words mix due to vocals in the end of each word, and there are no strange sounds like in dutch or russian.
@saintpine Thank you. I very much enjoy visiting Sicily, especially to see its architectural remains from the Greeks, although the wine and food are also very attractive!
If I were to pick one thing to make the world a better place it would be education. If everyone had a well rounded education and understood how/why things work as they do then they'd be less likely to screw things up.
From a native Italian speaker, schooled and brought up in the UK and like you, I fear, now speaks Italian with an English accent, I say un grande Ben Fatto! :-)
@tenneral It's very easy for children to learn any language, so if you wanted to make everyone in the world speak one language, the difficulty of it would fade after a while.
Besides, English isn't even that hard a language. You don't need the subjective, you can use "you" as both singular and plural,... It's easier than Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Latin,.... And if it's still too difficult, just make a pidgin!
If people want to communicate, they'll always find a way.
@tenneral the UK is farther along with radical feminism and misandry, than north america. the way you say that almost all evil people were men, you imply that their maleness is what made them evil. the fact of the matter is that men have had more chances to do evil things (and even then, often the reason is to protect wifes/daughters/mothers ect)
Just because more people die from car crashes then lying in a bed of rustynails doesn't mean doing so isnt dangerous. women can be just as evil
want learn a difficult language, try finnish. there is no prepositions. you have to learn to bend every word to make up for it. and there is more exceptions to the rules than there are rules of how each word is modified to make up for the missing prepositions. just learning a word isnt enough, you have to learn how each word is bend which means that there is different version of the core word to every preposition there is.
I so enjoy your videos, it is as if I am listening to my beloved dad. It is uncanny how much you resemble each other, well he isn't with me anymore sadly. I wonder if there is some familial connection as the resemblance and mannerisms are so alike.
I am sure you will do very well on your essays. Enjoy your Winter Holiday Season.
I would write that I wish children were not born with birth defects and I have selfish reasons for that wish.
I think that a world where everyone had their basic needs covered, where population was maintained at a stable number and where inquiry and culture were valued highly would be a very nice place to live.
I don't know that I agree about a common language. I can see the advantages, but on the other hand no single language is complete. I speak English and Spanish and there are concepts that have words in one but not the other. A common language would eliminate many useful words in other languages.
While a universal language would be a blessing, I am fair confident that within 50-100-200 years, that dialects and different spellings would arise, and we'd be in the same old mess again :)
@TheSpazzofMuffins Always prepared to be proved wrong. But the truly evil people in history seem to me to be almost always men. Queen Isabella or Lucretia Borgia are scarcely on the same level as Stalin, Pol Pot and all the rest of them. Let me know your thoughts.
Long time no videos, tenneral. Merry Christmas to you! When you started describing the 2nd essay I was going to suggest you write something like "the world would be better if the pope were an atheist"... I'd love to see your teacher's and classmates' reactions when you read it out!
You know, I hadn't given it much thought. A universal language would make things, hopefully, better. But try getting the US on board with that. We've got an amazingly high number of residents who actively fear the imagined consequences of a one-world government with "free thinkers" (who really aren't, once you get to know them) being rounded up into camps and whatnot. They would oppose such a thing.
And the world has a universal language, but almost nobody uses it. Esperanto, isn't it?
@hgryphon Very true. Am I right in thinking that only by a small margin of votes German was not chosen as the dominant / preferred language in the earliest days of the USA? Or is that a historical myth?
@tenneral I don't recall anything about German, but I do know that during the early colonial period, the majority of the colonists spoke Dutch. That may be what you were remembering. And honestly, the only reason I know that is because of my mother's family (being of Dutch descent) and her family's genealogy work. It's quite fascinating tracing one's lineage through the brave explorers who chose, again and again, to push the boundaries of the frontier.
@nekotenma Probably bloody hard to learn though, which, I imagine, is why Tenneral didn't say we should all speak Latin. He did used to teach it after all.
@a11m0n More than two cents in value - this is a very wise observation. I've always said that if more of the world's leaders were women, we might get things sorted out. But another comment on this video says that the misandrists have got to me: so I say no more on this topic!!
Interesting as always. Personally, I found French and German much harder to learn than English (my native language is Dutch), though I suspect that's mostly due to the fact that English language movies and television programs (subtitled in Dutch - we don't really do dubbing) are very common in the Netherlands. Spelling and pronunciation can still be annoying, though - I read and write a lot of English and hardly a day goes by without having to look up this or that word.
I was quite similar at school, when I started learning Norwegian (My second language, odd considering I'm Norwegian) at school I hated it, but since I left school I went on to love languages and learned several.
@geyser The correct pronunciation is how it is spelled. "ou" is kind of like "ow" except with a single-u not a double -u and "gh" is pronounced like "ch" in the German "nacht" but softer and light the scottish "gh" as in "broa' bright moonlight night t'night". The spelling is correct - the modern pronunciation is wrong.
English is not hard at all, or at least it wasn't for me to learn. Spanish seems to be harder for english speakers than english for us since I haven't heard any english speaker than do justice to our language... This is better ilustrated when Hollywood producers cast an american "spanish" speaker on a spanish role. They always sound dreadful.
@nyarlotep It is most likely that English speakers do not start learning Spanish as early in life as you do English. But I agree... as a native English speaker, with a love of many languages, I can recognize when someone is totally butchering Spanish, Italian, French, or German in a movie, and it makes me cringe!
Interesting. I was never particularly good with languages, but english I found to be quite easy to learn (I'm german by the way). Latin on the other hand... I was horrible at that. Whenever I watch "The Life of Brian", and Brian is forced to conjugate the verb "to go" by the roman centurion but fails dreadfully... Yep, that's me alright.
Ciao Michele, stai facendo un ottimo lavoro! Let us keep, kicking gluteus maximus', and helping to wake the millions of sleeping zombies from religionism.
Happy xmas! I am learning Latin here on you tube with TuTubusLatinus. I find it incredible how much I am learning about the roots of so many English words. I think I will try some other languages, probably a living one when I am further down the road.
You make a good point about everyone using the same language. I was recently on a study abroad programme and there were 25 exchange students from various countries, all of whom spoke fluent English and I was a bit embarassed as I didn't speak any of their languages fluently. It annoys me that many British people expect everyone to speak English and don't bother to learn other languages. Having said that it is a failure of the education system too as I wasn't taught another language until age 12
@DishonestSkeptic I have never understood this : you are completely correct of course. When I think of the years I spent learning French only to emerge from school unable to hold a simple conversation in the language but with a detailed knowledge of irregular verbs instead! Our wish to learn other languages is not helped by the fact that others learn and speak English so quickly and so well.
I have always felt a little poorer for not being able to speak another language. I am making a lame attempt on German however. Also I always feel a little "negatively gratified" when someone else has taken the time and trouble to learn english to be able to communicate with me. Well done.
Disagree with only one point: While it has its peculiarities, English can't be overly difficult to learn, otherwise fewer people would be using it as their second, third and even fourth language.
Have you ever tried speaking Italian and trying to keep your hands still? Thanks for some wonderful videos this year, looking forward to more next year and best wishes for the festive season.
I have never found English exceptionally hard. I have also studied some Swedish, Russian, Italian, French and Latin, but English is the only foreign language I managed to master properly (well enough to become a translator). Maybe it's because I started learning it first, at the age of 10.
Perhaps you can help me with a question that has plagued me since 1983 when I came to the UK. Why is it that the English people, in their thousands of years of history, have never noticed that it gets cold in the winter? That snow and ice will cause the roads to become slippery death traps? That these conditions are likely to occur every single year? But it's always the same old story - "Unheard of conditions cause chaos!", which are exactly the same conditions we had last year.
@colourmegone I think we do notice this but our newspapers, having nothing else to print at this time of year, like to trot out the same stories each time. There are equal problems on the continent about which we are never told : and, as you know, the Russians - who have rather longer experience of appalling winters - have been badly affected this year by harsh conditions. So blame lazy journalists!
Happy Holiday to you too tenneral. I enjoyed your video, as always. Everything you said made sense. I'm sure you will receive high scores on your essays.
Don't burn the house down. Read your book in the kitchen.
I an someone, who has had to learn English as a foreign language. I must admit I'm still studying it. It can never become like a native language to me.
I found that it is your classmates which make for a good evening class. I once took an 'express' introductory Spanish class, which compressed the first year of regular adult classes into six weeks, and it was fabulously fun, but when I tried to continue the following year with the regular classes it was unbearable with slow-coaches derailing every.lesson .
I have a similar passion for French. For a long time, I went to French language meetups in London. It was fun to try to get a long well enough in French to communicate about complex ideas.
About the Sky box I have one too, and I have the same problems with supporting Murdoch. There is a great channel add on though--Cine Moi, and I can watch films in French every night. There might a channel for Italian too?
Great to see one of your videos on a very cold day in Cambridge.
I think if I could go back in a time machine i'd kill Abraham. That would set at least some of this right.
