- Hi my name is Sean.

- Hi my name is Ayaka.

- And today we will be building some Legos.

- I've been speaking japanese for 28 years.

- [Crew] And how comfortable are you speaking Japanese?

- 100% comfortable in my own language.

- [Crew] You okay?

- Why'd you let her go first?

(everyone laughing)

I've been speaking Korean probably all my life.

I used to be way more comfortable

but at a certain point my Korean proficiency

just started dipping down.

Back when I used to live home,

I would always speak it with my parents

but now that I've moved out and I live on my own,

I'm a little rusty but hopefully, you know,

hopefully I don't get chewed out today.

(both laughing)

Language is always a barrier but you can make it work,

we can make it work.

- Yeah, I feel it, yeah. - Yeah, we can make it work.

- [Crew] Legos that you'll be using.

- [Ayaka] Oh my God!

- Y'all gave us a hard one on purpose.

I don't know all these words in Korean.

(both laughing)

Fun fact, tape in Korean is still tape, so.

- Same, same to Japanese culture.

- [Crew] Five.

- What you're counting down now?

- [Crew] Four.

- No English at all, afterwards.

- [Crew] Three.

- A'ight, just find all the pieces

then give it to me. - Two.

- Yeah, let's spread it out, - One.

open it, yeah.

(upbeat music)

- [Crew] How is this so far?

Since you're two minutes in.

So we started doing individual work.

- [Sean] Yeah.

- At first. - You know.

So there was no unity.

- [Crew] You have 10 minutes and 50 seconds.

Okay, I think.

(buzzer beeping) - I think, I think.

- [Crew] It seemed like there was this moment

where you guys were trying to help each other

learn the language, what was that like?

- I think it was just, we realized there's certain words

that kind of like floated across.

I don't know, I don't know what was going on,

we're just in the vibe.

We're just grooving. - Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

- He took this textbook away,

so I was like, okay.

- I was looking out for the both of us.

- [Crew] Two minutes.

So I felt like if we just pushed for something to be made,

you know, we would look a little bit better.

And we did. - Right.

We did, that's not bad.

- [Crew] One minute.

- [Crew] 10 seconds.

- [Crew] And time.

- Wait, I feel like it's justified that I put this on

'cause I made it.

- [Crew] Okay, go ahead.

- Yeah, let me just, let me just,

I feel like this is the final touches I need.

- That his pride.

- Yeah, this is my pride, this is all I was working on so.

Well I feel like this is the general gist

of what they were asking for.

Be careful, be careful.

- [Crew] Yeah, be careful.

- I know, I know.

- Piece of art, piece of art right here.

You wanna zoom in?

We even gave him a pitchfork.

We had the time for detail.

- We even put a sticker.

- Yeah. (Lego thumping)

Oh.

That's part of the design.

So what you think?

- No bad, no bad at all.

- Not bad.

- Yeah, not bad.

- Yeah, like, you'd think it would be harder

but I feel like at a certain point,

you just kind of know what the other person was saying.

- Right, right.

- We're not speaking the same langauge

but we're on the same wavelength.

I'm not an expert on history of Asian languages

but I do know that some of them overlap.

So like for example, promise is Japanese,

is (speaks in foreign language).

- Yeah, (speaks in foreign language).

- Yeah and that's the exact same word for Korean.

So I kinda knew that going in

and I was like a little bit less worried.

Yeah it was cool, it was a fun experience.

I wouldn't do it again but.

- Yeah, for sure, for sure.

- It was cool.

- Yeah, now we know.

- Yeah, I would do.

- Wait you said you would do?

- I would, I would.

- I said I wouldn't (laughing).

- You wouldn't?

Excuse me?

- Not with you, not with you. - Excuse me?

- I thought we had a nice time.

- We did.

All those kids who think they're way better

than us right now,

you guys speak two languages to each other, huh?

- That's right. - We'll see, yeah.

Try it then let us know.

- Let us know.
