This is a food mart/gas station on Ohio State's campus.
It's kind of nippy out here today.

Guy from Senegal.
From where?
He was from Senegal. African guy.
Dunno..
That was like 5 months ago..
Yea, he was from Senegal, when I came in here at that time, but that was a long time ago.
It's not 5 months. It's more than that..
Oh, probably. It's been a while.
Where're you guys from?
Me?
Yea.
I'm from Morrocco.
Morrocco?
And you?
I'm from Jordan
((Arabic)) How are you?
((Arabic)) I'm good, thanks to god.
((Arabic)) I study Arabic as well, but...
it's been a while..
((Arabic)) But I think my Arabic is strange..
I don't know, it's been a while.
What do you want to say?
3jib is like ''Strange'' isn't it?
((Arabic))What's your name?
Itha
((Arabic)) My name is Moses. Nice to meet you.
((Arabic)) OK..What's your name?
((Arabic)) My name is Muhammad.
((Arabic)) My name is Moses
((Arabic)) Moses?
((Arabic)) Yes.
((Arabic)) I want to speak Arabic, because I think Arabic is very beautiful.
Oh yea?
((Arabic)) Very beautiful.
((Arabic)) Where did you learn Arabic?
((Arabic)) At home
((Arabic)) At home?
((Arabic)) Yes
((Arabic)) How did you learn at home?
((Arabic))Because,I have many books and I have a friend that speaks Arabic also..so...
((Arabic)) So I speak it a bit.
((Arabic)) A little bit, eh
((Arabic)) You speak Fusha
((Arabic)) Yep
We speak a dialect, but you speak Fusha.
((Arabic)) Egyptian Arabic?
If I talk to you in our dialect, you won't understand
Like, I'm talking to you in Fusha. If I talk to you in our dialect, you won't understand.
This dialect is mixed with French.You're not going to understand..
((Arabic)) You won't understand
((Arabic)) That's right.But, god willing.....man...
What do you want to say?
What is it? Say it in English
Nah, I know how to say it, I just...Oh
((Arabic)) I will....
You want to go somewhere?
((Arabic)) I want to go to Egypt..
((Arabic)) You want to go to Egypt?
((Arabic)) God willing..
When you go to Egypt and come back, they're going to stop you at the airport and ask why you went to Egypt.
((Arabic)) Why?
That's the problem now.
If you go to Egypt, when you come back, they'll stop you at the customs and ask a lot of questions.
Even if you go there to just have fun, they will stop you.
That's what they're doing with everyone now.
What is it?
I have a gas card from CFN. I'm going to my dad's funeral. And I need to use my gas card.
My truck got stolen here in Ohio.I had to pay for that on a credit card

He's driving and he's drinking.
Yea
He can't even drive because he's drunk.
Yea, I smell it.
See, if the police stops him, he'll be in trouble.
Yea
I've never heard of these names he was saying.
((French)) I don't now either.
((French)) He's drunk.
((French)) He drank a lot.
((French)) What is this?
He drank too much.
Oh
((French)) I don't like to drink. I don't do that.
((French)) It's not good.
((French)) It's not good for your health nor your pockets.
You know what I mean?
It's not good for your health nor your pockets.
((Arabic)) It's not good for your health nor your pockets.
In Arabic.
((French)) Many languages.
((French)) I like to study many languages. French, Arabic,Chinese, Japanese, etc..
Spanish?
((French)) I speak that too.
((Spanish)) You speak Spanish, too?
((Spanish)) I speak Spanish, too.You speak Spanish, too?
((Spanish)) Yes, of course.
((Spanish)) Of course.
Spanish is our third language back in Morocco.
((French)) Oh, really?
We got French, Arabic and Spanish.
((Spanish)) Then we can speak in Spanish now.
You speak German too?
((German)) Just a little bit. I speak a bit of German, but now my German is really bad ((French/Spanish))
((Spanish)) Because I don't study it much these days.
Oh
((Spanish)) I'm studying other languages such as, Japanese, Chinese..etc..
What about Italian?
((Spanish)) I was studying Italian a long time ago, too, but as this city has many people that
((Spanish)) speak Spanish, I've made an effort to learn more Spanish.
((Spanish))It's very important in this city, right?
((French)) That's good.
((Spanish)) Very very important.
((Spanish)) Very important.
((Spanish)) Yes.
((Spanish)) But a long time ago,I didn't like it that much.
((Spanish)) Because to me the most interesting are Asian languages.
Oh,ok.
((Spanish)) But it's important to study more Spanish...so...
((Spanish)) Wow, I didn't know that they spoke Spanish in Morocco as well. I didn't know that.
Yep.
In Morocco..
((Spanish)) I want you to speak in Spanish right now. Don't speak English.
((Spanish)) In my country we study Arabic and French in primary school.
((Spanish)) However, in secondary school, we have other languages.There's, if you want, Spanish..
((Spanish)) English, German and Italian..
Oh
((Spanish)) Well then..
((Spanish)) Then there are more languages in the university.
((Spanish)) Wow, and can you speak as well?
No, he doesn't speak
((Spanish)) Just English and Arabic
Oh
((Spanish)) I see.
He's from Jordan. I'm from Morocco.
((Spanish)) Oh, I see. He already told me...lol
((Spanish)) That's good.
((Spanish)) Well then, you can teach him Spanish.
((Spanish)) Yea, but not enough time here.Will need the time..
((Spanish)) But he works here with you..
((Spanish)) Yes, but I only work here here 3-4 hours.I work over on Hamilton RD.
((Spanish)) Oh, I see.
((Spanish)) There are many Spanish people over there. Many friends over there.
((Spanish)) Of course. Especially here in the U.S. there are many Mexicans.
((Spanish)) I lived in New York for 17 years?
((Spanish)) That's good.
Yea..
((Spanish)) It's important to practice language as much as possible.
In New York there's a lot of them.Everywhere you go, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Salvadorians,Nicaruaga..all of them..
((Spanish)) The most are Puerto Ricans
Do you know what Boricua means? Puerto Ricans
((Spanish)) I didn't know
Puerto Ricans in Spanishm they call them Boricua.
''Boricua'' ((Spanish)) Thanks a lot.
Yea. Dominicans, they call them Dominicanos.
((Spanish)) Yes, I know that one.
Puerto Rican, you don't say ''I'm Puerto Rican. You say I'm Boricua''
((Spanish)) Boricua. ''I'm Puerto Rican''
Yea
((Spanish)) This is a new word for me. Thanks a lot.
((Spanish)) Actually, I must say that the reason I've come here is to practice langages with you guys.
((Spanish)) A long time ago as I've said,There was a guy from Africa. Moreover, he spoke Wolof, French and other languages so..
((Spanish)) At that time, I practiced a lot with him.
Oh, OK
I was telling him, this is the reason why I've come here. I cam here to practice languages
Where are you from originally?
((Spanish)) I'm American.
Where? I know you're American, but where? Which city/state? Are you from Ohio?
((Spanish)) I've here in Columbus for 10 years already.
((Spanish)) My city is Akron
Oh, you're from Akron, Ohio?
((Spanish)) Yes
Oh, so you're from Ohio State then
((Spanish)) Yes
((Spanish)) So now I live here. I have a family..
((Spanish))Are you studying at the University?
((Spanish)) Not now
oh,OK
((Spanish)) Before...
((Spanish)) That's good.
((Spanish)) I'm already married.
((French)) Married?
((French)) Yes. I'm married already.
((French)) Do you have any children?
Huh?
((French)) Do you have any children?
((French)) Oh of course!Two kids.
((Spanish)) They're twins.
((French)) Two girls. That means girls.You got boys or girls?
((Spanish)) Girls
Girls
((Spanish)) But..
((French)) They're girls?
((Spanish)) Twins
((French)) They're twins
((Spanish)) Jumeaux is twins?
Yes, in French.
It's the same thing it's just the pronunciation.In Spanish they say ''Gemelas''
Because the ''G'' they call it ''kheer'' in Spanish, right? French is ''Jumeaux''
It's just a little different.
If you speak French, it'svery easy to learn Spanish quickly.
((French)) Really?
Because they are the same.
((Spanish)) Almost the same.
Yea, the same. The same words.But it's just mixed.
You know. Spanish words are like French words.In Italian too.
It's the same with a slight difference.
When you speak French, you learn Spanish quickly.
Less than three months, you will fly in Spanish.
((Spanish)) I agree.
Yep.
But if you speak Spanish and want to speak French then it's very hard.
((Spanish)) It's very different
Yea, it's very hard. Especially with the pronunciation. But if you speak French,then you get Spanish quick and easy.
((Spanish)) I see.
That's why,the people in my country that's?? Because they are close to Spain.
All of them since they were young, they speak Spanish.
Then when they go to school they learn Spanish and French.
((Spanish)) I see.
Yea, so that's why in the South, everyone speaks French.
((Spanish)) So you speak German fluently?
((Spanish)) A little bit.
I used to, but I forgot most of it. Because I lived in Germany for two years.
Oh
I used to speak it fluently.I forgot. I didn't practice so I lost it.
I still understand it, anything you say
((German)) Practice, practice..
Yea, and I lost a lot of it.
((Spanish)) As you know, language is a living thing.
Yea
((Spanish)) When you begin learning a language, it's necessary to practice it as much as possible.
((Spanish)) Normally on the weekends,I like to practice like this..
When you speak Spanish, you speak it with Spain.
((Spanish))Castillian Spanish
Because when you go to Spain, when you speak..
((Spanish)) I want you to speak in Spanish
((Spanish)) OK, when you go to Spain,they speak with the Spanish accent?
((Spanish)) This is the first time I've heard this word.
''Spain people''
Do you know what Gayo is in Spanish?
((Spanish)) I don't know. What is it?
It's a rooster. You know rooster?
((Spanish)) Yes
And gayena is a chicken
Oh
the female of the rooster is a chicken, right?
Uh huh
So Spain, we call them gayegos because they talk like a rooster.
When you go to Spain,even if you speak Spanish from here like Mexico or anywhere in South America
they talk very fast. And they use the tongue.
The tongue, yes.
When they talk to you, they talk very fast.
((Spanish)) Very fast.
((Spanish)) I can't understand what they're saying.
Because I've been to Spain many times since it's close to my country.
First time I went there, I went to France because I have brothers and sisters in Europe
And a lot of cousins you know.So I went to France to see my brother and went to Germany. I bought a car from Germany.
It was a Mercedes? They have Mercedes over there for very cheap in Germany.
Oh
I was going to Morrocco, we went to..
((Spanish)) When we were in Luandania?? They were speaking so fast.
((Spanish)) During that time, could you understand what they were saying?
((Spanish)) Yes, now I can. But the first time I went there, it was just too fast. They would ask me...
Oh..
((Spanish)) Since I lived in New York....
Oh
((Spanish)) They would speak to me and then say that they wanted to speak English.
((Spanish)) I told them that I couldn't speak English.
((Arabic)) I understand.
((Arabic)) You understand?
((Spanish)) Even in Spain, if they speak other languages, they don't want to speak them. Just Spanish.
((Spanish)) Why?
Because they say that they like their language.
Ah
They don't care, they say you came to our country so you gotta learn our language.
((Spanish)) That correct. I agree.If...
((Spanish)) I don't want to go to another country if I can't speak the language.
When you go to Spain and you ask them for something,you tell them like..
((Spanish)) Do you speak English?
They'll say, no.
((Spanish)) I don't know, I don't know..
Oh, with an S?
They call it ''no the''
Yea
Oh..
When you talk to them, they don't wantto show you nothing..
They're very racist.
((Spanish)) Racist?
Yea, Spain they like their language. They say, you came to Spain, so you gotta learn our language.
I don't care, you gotta learn our language.
Oh
If you talk to them in their language, Spanish, then they will be very happy.
Especially when you're a foreigner and you want to go there and talk to them they'll show you whatever you want.
but if you don't speak Spanish then they won't..
((Spanish)) But I think that it should be like this, no?
((Spanish)) Well, no, but you gotta help the people, no?
You gotta help people.If you go their as a tourist, you gotta help them
Oh, I see.
They say no, they don't care.
((Spanish)) ''It's not my problema if you can't speak Spanish''
and if you don't speak Spanish, anywhere you go, restaurant, hotel, they're thieves.
They'll steal money from you.They're not honest.
If they know you don't know the language and the money, they'll rip you off.
((Spanish)) That's a problem
Yea
((Spanish)) Theives
((Spanish) Well then, I still have plans to go to other places to practice languages
OK
((Spanish)) Now I'm going to a Mexican restaurant.
When Mexicans talk to you, they call you guey. Do you know what a guey is?
((Spanish)) What's up,man ''Bull''
Oh yea! I know.
You know what guey is?
((Spanish)) I know.
What is it?
It's like ''Dude'' or ''Man''
Yea, but what is it? What does it mean?
((Spanish)) It's like, man?
No..
Like when you go to New York, they say ''What's up, dog?''
Oh
Now dog is a dog, it's an animal. What is guey? It's an animal.
Guey is....Which animal is it?
You know what ''la baka'' is?
Oh, baka is like a sheep or goat?
Baka is a cow
a cow, yea
now, what's the male of the cow?
the male of the cow is a guey
They say,''what's up, bull?''
like Chicago bulls?
((Spanish)) Yea, I know
The bull is a guey. Like in New York how they say ''What's up, dogg?'' They call each other ''guey''
((Spanish)) What's up, bull?
((Spanish)) How do you say that in Arabic?
Oh now, we don't have that in Arabic.
Like when you go to New York, they call you ''What up, dog?''
You can't say to people in Arabic''What's up, Dog''
((Arabic)) Isn't it?
Like if you go up to a girl and say ''What's up, bitch'' you can't do that.
((Arabic)) Bitch?
You can't do that in Arabic language.
You can't call somebody a dog.
((Arabic)) Is she Arab?
You can't say ''what up, dog'' to someone in Arabic.
((Spanish)) Alrighty, I'm going to leave now. Nice to meet you.
OK, when you go over to the Mexican restaurant say to them ''What's up, bull?''
((Spanish)) What's up, bull? OK, take care.
((Spanish)) OK, see you again.
((Arabic)) See you later.
((Arabic)) See you later.
((PHONE)) Yea, I don't know. It's like a different place.
Hi
Hello.
Hi.
I just saw this place and thought it was interesting. I saw the Korean.
Yea.
So you guys sell antiques?
No, I'm selling Korean cosmetics.

((Korean)) It's better to learn the polite language
((Korean)) Yes
((Korean)) Well, right now I can't use the impolite talk.
((Korean)) That's right. You use that with your friends.
((Korean)) Yes, yes..
((Korean)) I can use less polite talk with someone who's younger than I. You understand what I mean?
I can use that speech with someone younger than me.
((Korean)) Yes, I understand.
I'm older than you, therefore you would use more polite speech.
((Korean))Yes. Great job!
((Korean)) Where did you learn from?
((Korean)) I'm self-taught.
((Korean)) Self-taught? Oh, good good!Where did you learn from? Youtube or?

So you can go. They're not charging.
((Korean)) Oh really?

((Korean)) It's free?
((Korean)) Yes, it's free.
((Korean)) I don't have that much time now so I can't learn Korean in that way.
((Korean)) Good
((Korean)) So I will continue like this.
((Korean)) Right,there're so many Korean stores
((Korean)) I see
There's Mina restaurant over there, then the Bamboo cafe. Their owner is Korean, too.
And over there the bakery, next door to the Microcenter, there's a Korean place
((Korean)) Oh yes, I've been there before with my wife.
((Korean)) The owner there is Korean

When they went to College they learned because at that time, they knew that I'm Korean.
But now they think they're Americans. They only speak English.You are very good.
((Korean)) They can't speak anything outside of English?
((Korean)) Just English...They speak Korean, too, but....
They speak Korean too, but, you're better than them
((Korean)) You must be kidding..
((Korean)) Now, I'm not.
You're doing a good job.
((Korean)) It's just because I think it would be great if I could speak like the Koreans.
((Korean)) I want to speak like a Korean, so lately I've been working on it deligintly.
OK, good job. If you want, are you going to Church?
((Korean)) No, but a long time ago when I was still a young child, I always went to church.
If you want to go to the Korean Church, you can so that you can make a lot of Korean friends there.
((Korean)) OK. Which Church?
Snow Polaris
((Korean)) I haven't heard of it before.
((Korean)) You haven't heard of it before?
Oh here, I'm going to give it to you.
((Korean)) OK.
There's a lot of Americans there, too.
Oh
((Korean)) Now I have kids so,I'm always at home.

((Korean)) Oh, I see
Our Church name, number. Sunday service is 10am.If you want to come, come at 10:30.

((Korean)) Different levels of politeness, etc..
Many words that are similar as well..

I'm from Seoul
Oh
Close to Seoul. Not exactly in Seoul.
Oh, ok
I was working in Seoul
((Korean)) I want to go to Korea in the future.

the communication is very important so..
have you brought them back to Taiwan yet?
((Mandarin)) Actually, we went back last year in December to see the family
They're identical, right?

I was born in Saigon, but you have to have-??-from the North

((French)) Languages are apart of the culture
When you learn the language and culture, it's beautiful. And the food..beautiful
((French)) Of course
When you go there you say ''Indosheen'' not ''Indoshine'' you know French
If you ask them if they have lamb pho, they'll jump up and down. That's not Vietnamese. That Laotian
They haven't been to Vietnam lately. Vietnam now has a lot of lamb. If you know the history of Vietnam
I came here in 75
((French)) Interesting.
((French)) I want to come here with my wife and kids
((French))You have children? two?
((French)) Two
Very interesting
Yea, we're very different, kind of Vietnamese, you know, so..
You will see. Most Vietnamese restaurants around here are Laotian, Chinese, Korean.
back here is Cambodian so..oh yea..You'll taste a big difference. Taste it then you will see.
((French)) OK
So..what side of town you live on?
Easton
Easton? Yea, you will see the difference. Indochine is not even Vietnamese. The guy is Laotian.
So his food is very sweet, very...you know
((Vietnamese)) Really
Yea, so..we're very different here.

((Vietnamese)) My name is Thang
And yours?
((Vietnamese)) My name is mouse
((Vietnamese)) Mouse?
((Vietnamese)) My nickname..
((Vietnamese)) Nickname?
((French)) Mouse
Oh mouse, yea
((Vietnamese)) Just a nickname
OK, then you must have many Vietnamese friends
((Vietnamese)) No, I don't have many
((Vietnamese)) No friends?
So, where did you learn the language?
((Vietnamese)) I'm learning and home, because I have many books
Oh
Very interesting
((Vietnamese)) I can use the computer...to speak in order to understand about this country
OK
Very interesting. Next is the food. After the language.
((Vietnamese)) Food? ''To eat food''
((Vietnamese)) Food
No Thuc an means food, but Thuc pham means ((French)) ''Food''
I don't make Pho like everybody else
So, you will see
((French)) Nice to meet you!
((French)) Nice to meet you!
((French)) See you again next time..mouse..
Nice to meet you
((Mandarin)) Nice to meet you
Oh she's Chinese. You're from Hong Kong?
No, I was born in Taiwan
Oh, born in Taiwan so she's Taiwanese. So you speak Mandarin, isn't it?
Yea
So you speak Mandarin too?
Oh, very talented. For self-taught, that's very good, man
((French)) Your French is very good. Your accent.
Most Americans, when they speak French..it's...
((French)) Very bad?
((French)) Very bad
So, your accent is OK. The first thing you want to find out is the accent.
The rest you don't expect much because..that's a foreign language
Accent is very important, especially French, man
He's funny lol
When you go to France,Paris,when you speak French to them, they don't want to talk to you if you have an accent
The French, they're very very....
So, you're not interested in Chinese?
Oh yea, I'm interested. It's finding the time
The time
I'll get there eventually
You know, you should try..I don't know if you've heard of it or not..
have you ever heard of Chinesepod?
No
It's really..If you go to Chinesepod.com, they have a lot of good content that you can use
Like, I'll show you, for example...
this is just MP3
See they have the uh..
English and the Chinese
This is more advance, but they have the beginner stuff as well for you
That's cool. Yea, I'll check that out
and it's easy because, if you're busy, all you would need to do is listen to it and you'll pick it up quickly
and then she can speak some to you..
that would be good. I would like that because her parents speak some English, but..
Yea, I know...
have you been over there?
Yea, I've been over there twice ''Actually three times''
It's fun isn't it
Yea, I love it there. I can see myself living there
When we go over there, they speak more Taiwanese than Mandarin
Like at home, so when we I first went there, of course they spoke Mandarin with me
but when you're sitting around listening to everyone speak, it's all Taiwanese
right, right
so it's like ooh...
so I started taking Taiwanese more serious. I'm not as good with it as I am with Cantonese or Mandarin
but, I'm picking up a lot
I have some friends who're learning Mandarin, because there's a bible study that they're having
because there're so many Mandarin speaking people in the area
Oh yea So they learn and help out during bible study
yea, most definitely
it's cool
so, like I said, if you're busy, all you would need to do is listen to it..
when you listen to it...it's just like a child
right
when we were children, we just listened to the language, then eventually piece things together
uhhuh
next thing you know, you're putting sentences together than you're like ''wait, how did this happen?''
what's your name?
Dan
Moses. Or my Chinese name is ''Mouse''
well..
Nice to meet you
I'm Helen
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you. You guys take care.
You have a good one
you too, take care
