In this video, I react to Americans trying (and failing) to speak European Languages. One of my biggest culture shocks while living abroad as an American in Europe was realizing that nearly everyone was bilingual--except for me. This inspired me to kickstart my language learning journey, but I had no idea of the challenges I'd face along the way. And evidently, neither did these Americans.
