all right guys im on the streets of spain , barcelona specifically and today the goal
is to see can i survive a spanish-speaking country speaking the other romance languages
which are french portuguese and italian
think of them as modern dialects of the latin language
they are all very similar
learning one one will help you understand the other one
so i'm curious how understandable are they compared to one another in spanish speaking spain 0:01:30.000,1193:02:47.295 alright guys made it to the sagrada familia
it looks like people are actually able to understand italian that is really cool
obviously the similarities in the languages really help out but yo i didn't speak to them in their
language in catalan or in spanish and they were able to really give me a response immediately so
yeah we're here we're going to explore a bit but yeah let's see another language
so we're going to ask glenn a couple phrases
in the catalan language since he was born and raised here in barcelona
you do not speak portuguese, french and italian?
all right guys so he doesn't speak french italian or portuguese so i'm going to start speaking into
him a little bit more in a different language to see if he's able to keep up with me and understand
all right guys end of challenge
to sum up i was really surprised with the end result
yes the languages are a similar origin but yo they were able to rapidly
answer any question i gave them in a different language if you guys liked this video please
like subscribe and comment in the video for any suggestions
how about we try this in a different country next
how do we try france or italy maybe the results might be different
