Found Conan’s discussion of his family inventing words interesting. I was watching a clip of a documentary yesterday about the vernacular in Appalachia. And the elders were talking about how they invented words all the time and how it’s part of their culture. They also talked about how their lineage is mostly from Irish settlers. Very cool.
ReplyYo Team Coco YT audio guy, why the audio level is inconsistent between clips. Some of them like this one are not loud enough while some other are fine. I can help if you need an audio engineer.
ReplyJesus, Mary and Joseph, is nothing sacred” was the full phrase in my house. LOL
Replyanush means sweet. Shes not very good at armenian. I speak 2 dialects and lived there for 6 years.. also got a bit of russian language in it lol
ReplyConan do the show . What is this now. Miss old days
ReplyJust let them learn English in school like most kids who grew up speaking their native tongue.
ReplyAnyone who hasn’t seen The Promise with Oscar Isaac about the Armenian genocide by the Turks in WWI needs to see it. Invaluable, suppressed history lesson.
ReplyEvery single Armo in the world reverts to Armenian when they have children. I am born and live in Canada. No need for Armenian. As soon as my wife gave birth we instantly reverted to speaking Armenian to our kids. They are now tri-lingual.
ReplyI love that they are raising their kids bilingual! I wish my parents had spoken a second language.
ReplyIs there any platform where they upload the video version of the podcast?
ReplyOnly Americans think it would be a problem learning a non-English language at home.
Replyi think one of the keys to Conan’s success, he constantly surrounds himself with funny people, and knows how to bring the humor out of them
ReplyI grow up speaking Portuguese, German, English and later on Castilian, French and some Italian, the only thing it did was make it easy for me to learn other languages, currently I am trying Mandarin. Teach your kids other languages, its a tool.
ReplySona’s right! Teach them the language that is not taught in schools. The children will learn English in school, from friends, and from televison/internet. I wish my mother taught me her language when I was a baby, but she was afraid that I would develop an accent! It’s not true! Now I’m too old to pick up the second language now and speak fluently.
