they were speaking GA..
and this boy was a policeman who'd been all over the country
so he's been all over the country
so he undersood GA
the people were saying..
''let's just give him the injection''
and when he looked at them
when he looked at them, one of them said
''I think the guy understood''

((SPANISH)) To chat it up here..
I learned 6 months of Spanish..
then I quit..because...
verbs..
((MANDARIN)) Verbs
((MANDARIN)) Verbs
very hard
((MANDARIN)) But I think if you already speak English, learning Spanish wouldn't be a problem
((MANDARIN)) The grammar..
((MANDARIN)) The verbs..
each one has 16 different forms
((MANDARIN)) Right, right..
((MANDARIN)) You're right to me it looks like different words..
((MANDARIN)) I agree
((MANDARIN)) different words

((MANDARIN)) Korean
((MANDARIN)) Cantonese

''Adios''
''A pronto''
((MANDARIN)) You can also say 'A pronto' ''See you soon''
((JAPANESE)) Goodbye

((MANDARIN)) It wouldn't make me confused

((MANDARIN)) Right,right,right...
((MANDARIN)) Has very deep meanings
there's a story behind it..
((MANDARIN)) Right
there's a history
((MANDARIN)) A very long story
in English though...
((MANDARIN)) You can't..it's impossible..
lost in translation..
((MANDARIN)) For example, that story called...
((MANDARIN)) ''Waiting for the rabbit by the tree trunk''
ahahahhahahhahaha
((MANDARIN)) There's a long story
the best one is Maodun ''Contradiction''
He said ''I have the best shield''
then he also said ''I have the best spear''
((MANDARIN)) Right
that's contradicting...
((MANDARIN)) I'm very familiar with this one
((MANDARIN)) ''The frog at the bottom of the well''
hahahaha
yea, we have a lot of them. Maodun is good..
***I WAS TRYING TO RECALL THE FULL IDIOM***

Vietnam?

oh, Cambodia?

oh, Cambodia?
Cambodia
((KHMER)) Hello
that's men's too
yea
I might get this one, I don't know..
I ask you because I study different languages
that's why I was wondering if you were from Vietnam or Cambodia
oh, that's good
Cambodia?
no
no?
one more guess..
Panama
oh, you're from Panama,too?
yea
((SPANISH)) Then you speak Spanish?
((SPANISH)) Yes
((SPANISH)) I apologize
((SPANISH)) I believed that you were from Asia
oh
((SPANISH)) I want to know because what I'm learning are Asian languages
((SPANISH)) You seemed to be from Asia
yea
((SPANISH)) Yes. Many are the same..
((SPANISH)) The same
((SPANISH)) Yes
((SPANISH)) I'm sorry
hahahhaha
No problem
((SPANISH)) Your Spanish is good
((SPANISH)) It's good?
((SPANISH)) It's....
hahhahhahahhaha
((SPANISH)) **I studied Spanish for a year** is what I should've said
((SPANISH)) But lately, I haven't had very many opportunities
((SPANISH)) Accent
((SPANISH)) Accent?
((SPANISH)) My accent?
no
((SPANISH)) What do you mean?
((SPANISH)) The vocabulary has accents
((SPANISH)) Yes
((SPANISH)) How to say it..
((SPANISH)) The vocabulary word with the accent
((SPANISH)) Yes
((SPANISH)) Like mamA
((SPANISH)) The a has an accent over it
((SPANISH)) Yes
((SPANISH)) If there isn't an accent then you say Mama
((SPANISH)) If there's no accent, you would say Mama
((SPANISH)) But with the accent, you say MamA
((SPANISH)) I got it
((SPANISH)) Like PapA
((SPANISH) If there's no accent, then you will say PapA
((SPANISH)) It isn't the same
((SPANISH)) That makes sense
((SPANISH)) It doesn't make sense
((SPANISH)) It doesn't make sense?
hahhahahhahahhaha
((SPANISH)) Because papa is a food..
((SPANISH)) for eating
((SPANISH)) Oh, it's food?
((SPANISH)) Have you seen a papa?
Papaya?
Potato
oh,OK
potato
((SPANISH))In Spanish it's Papa
((SPANISH)) But if you put the accent on it, it willbe PapA
((SPANISH)) That's father
((SPANISH)) Father,yes
((SPANISH)) I understand
((SPANISH)) But if you don't put on the accent, you would say Papa
((SPANISH)) It's different
((SPANISH)) It's different, yes..
((SPANISH)) I agree
hahahhaha
((SPANISH)) Nice to meet you
((SPANISH)) There aren't any accents in English
((SPANISH)) No there isn't..
((SPANISH)) None
((SPANISH)) Like the word maNYAna.
((SPANISH)) The NYA doesn't exist
((SPANISH)) But English doesn't need to use it
((SPANISH)) No, it doesn't need it
((SPANISH))No accents in English
((SPANISH)) Therefore..there's no accent in English
((SPANISH)) Therefore, you think English is easier than Spanish?
hahahhahahhaha
((SPANISH)) Because in English, the words don't have a lot of things/meanings
((SPANISH)) Yes
((SPANISH)) But in Spanish, different words..different letters..
((SPANISH)) right?
((SPANISH)) Right
((SPANISH)) But English..there's a lot of things..
((SPANISH)) The pronunciation is also a bit different
((SPANISH)) Yes, the pronunciation is very...
((SPANISH)) Like..door
((SPANISH)) The o is...
((SPANISH)) Sometimes pronunciation of the letters is close
((SPANISH)) Very interesting
((SPANISH)) Languages are very interesting to learn
