Studied abroad in Italy after only taking a year of it in school. I had previously been taking Spanish for several years. Went to a Chinese restaurant were they only spoke broken Italian. Between that and my average conversational Italian, with random Spanish added in accidentally, ordering food was not easy. The food was great though and thr restaurant was near to where i was living. I ended up going back with a new study abroad friend who spoke great Mandarin. The restaurant owners/staff were so happy and friendly. Great memory of the trials and tribulations of communication/language adventures.
My sister is fluent in Mandarin Chinese. Once, while working fast food she was getting off her shift when a Chinese man walked in and was trying to order. He was struggling with English and understanding the cashier. She walked up and quietly asked him if he spoke Chinese in Chinese because some Koreans look Chinese and she has gotten them mixed up before. His face lit up and he said that he did. She then helped him understand the menu and the cashier. He was so happy to have someone understand him that he started chatting with her. Her coworkers thought it was funny how he lit up just from a little help. You never know how it feels until you are the one in unfamiliar surroundings trying to understand a language that you only know marginally.
That's so cool! I'm a healthcare student, but when I graduate I want to learn ASL and be officially bilingual in another language so that I can help a wider range of patients.

Chinese people are the sweetest when you speak their language!! Even if you speak pretty poorly or don’t know much they get very excited and tell you how amazing you’ve done haha 😂 they really appreciate the effort. my fiancé is from China so I have gone to many Chinese places and they all get SO excited if my little son or I speak mandarin to them. Once a grumpy old man at a shop transformed so quickly when my son said 你好大哥! (Nihaodage)😄he wasn’t sure how to address the older man and said hi big brother which is a way of calling like a slightly older friend or something like that so a 5 yr old saying it to a elderly stranger was hilarious and we both laughed while my son was confused. The man was so happy and gave him tons of candies and told me how I was doing a good job with him 😂 I’ll always remember the way that man lit up from a small little interaction🥰 I’ve had many similar reactions over the years. It’s always so sweet :)
On the other hand, native english speakers dont make the minimum effort to even understand Foreigners trying to speak english with a foreign accent. I experienced this in Canada, UK and Ireland. The British are the worse. Thats why I love asians in general😊😊😊
@@isaiasnascimento7026 bro, u know that isn’t true, guaranteed in both countries, depending on where, who & what circumstances you will meet good and bad reactions to a foreign accent. Chinese can be every bit a rude or kind as English speaking countries. It often can depend on the accent u have and the history between the two countries as well for example. A Brit may not like a French accent but like Swedish.
I have mixed feelings on that statement because I watch alot of people who make content on China and all of them talk about how no matter how long they live in the country or even if they were born there if they don't match the skin color people will comment on their skill in speaking Mandarin. And if you don't think there might be something wrong with that, imagine being surprised and commenting on how good an asian person is at speaking English, albeit there is a small difference there admittedly.
Language and food are two things that bring people together. I love learning languages, and this is so awesome ❤ I wish that more kids were taught multiple languages. Its such a wonderful thing to be able to communicate with people in different languages/ countries. ❤
as a chinese person, i can confirm the happiness we feel when we see someone from a different netionality speaking chinese. I legit go wild and i start spewing chinese until its like- ayo can you slow down a bit your a bit fast
my favorite part of everyone of these kind of videos is how humble they act towards people who compliment them. its seems like a great sign of respect.

Someone else mentioned it was edited to show that way but wasn’t the original conversation the let us eat was to the lady asking if she wanted more food. Sometimes people don’t do the best job when editing.
Amazing. My mom is Indian but born in Singapore. She speaks mandarin and Cantonese so fluently that everyone’s jaw drops. This Sikh Punjabi woman just engaging in a few languages that all. I was too young when we moved to Canada so I didn’t get a chance to learn.
I've noticed this in every one of Xiaoma's videos and also Anming's (Oriental Pearl channel--she also explores culture and things others may not). It must be a cultural thing. Most Americans who speak a second language will say "thank you," I think...though come to think of it, when I get complimented on my Spanish I do say Gracias," but also I tend to ask what something or other means so they can teach me. A case of showing you're not too big for your britches, maybe?
@@5GburnI think its common for people learning another language to be shy and/or very humble about it probably because we think we’re fumbling it somehow when in reality we’re doing quite fine. I feel the same with spanish, I’m learning it and somehow always feel like I’m saying something wrong.😅
About 20 years ago I visited Beijing (Peking then). We were at a restaurant and next to our table were 3 white and 1 black men. They were eating chicken feet, century eggs, etc....and having a lively conversation in perfect Mandarin. I was blown away.
It was the same for me when I tried to speak in elementary Italian while visiting Rome. People appreciate the effort. The waiter at one restaurant served me a free dessert just for my effort!
I love Portuguese! Learned it when Dad was stationed in Rio for almost 5 years.. I was age 8 to almost 13 and went to a Catholic school where English was spoken but Portuguese lesson was every day. Living in Orlando FL for many years, I often hear Portuguese when out shopping (Brazilian women are world class shoppers), I listen for awhile then walk up to them and ask in Portuguese if they're Brazilian. The look on their faces is priceless and ALWAYS they immediately ask me E VOCE TAMBEM?.. ("and you too?") My accent is so good they're surprised I'm American! Thanks, Dad and Mom! Just love it...such a beautiful language. And it IS such a surprise to others too. My psy development students didn't know I spoke Portuguese until a Brazilian girl showed up to class and I started speaking to her in Portuguese. Always fun to be able to use the education of another language.
I think that's with everyone besides maybe the French 😂 I know if I was in another country where very few people speak English, I'd be ecstatic to run into someone that does.
As a grade school student we took French and Spanish. I still sometimes talk to myself in simplistic french at 76. The Spanish helped me with my widowed mother's grief after my Dad died. We lived in Minnesota, but within 2 weeks in Mexico, I could navigate, and we spent a full year, where I became pretty fluent. Asian languages are beyond me but I love the poetry sound of Spanish.
I took 4 yrs of French in high school and 1 yr of French Literature in college. My high school teacher said "When you start dreaming in French, you'll know you've got it!" And I did!
I started dating a man who didn't speak English & I didn't speak French but after 5yrs I Understood everything he and his friends n family were talking about but when I went to speak it because my accent wasn't perfect they used to kinda make fun of me so I just stopped trying!!!! I'm sorry but Persian French is snobby if your pronunciation isn't spot on!!!! Of course he picked up English quickly (he spoke 5 other languages fluently) but he basically learned from me so it was a lot of slang Not Proper English per say..... But if we got into an argument he would start trying to cuss me out in English but would automatically switch to French when he was really angry with me which would make me laugh cos he'd be stumbling over the English but he def knew what he wanted to say!!! You have to speak it to keep it, so Kudos to them 4 going places where ppl speak the languages he speaks or is trying to learn!!!! Unfortunately I can't understand French anymore.... A few things but NOT like when I was dating him & my Dad's side is Canadian French but his parents never spoke it to my Dad n his sisters because they were in America so they wanted them to speak English and plus they would talk so the kids wouldn't understand what they were saying!!! I Soooo Wish they would have spoken it to my Dad and n turn him speak it n the house to me n my brother n sister!!!! I don't speak French or Native (Blackfoot) cos both my great grandmothers on my Dad's side were full blooded native Blackfoot. But I can understand n speak some Spanish... Because of my Spanish friends and there are a lot of Puerto Rican n Dominican's that live in Rhode Island especially South Providence. I think it's Great when someone can speak another language and I'm intrigued when they speak several. This young man starting at 18yrs old & speaks several languages in Inspiring!!!!
I always make an attempt to help those around me, regardless of language. I’m from the US and speak English, but I’m fluent in Spanish and have often encountered Spanish-speaking customers in line ahead or behind me who I’m able to assist. I wish I spoke more languages. (Definitely on my to-do list!). Sometimes just compassion and patience can help, as well ❤❤❤
I visited Russia a few days ago and the best part is even a translation app can help break boundaries and bias. I had beautiful conversations with random strangers without knowing the language. They were amused to see an Indian mama trying to navigate the countryside and the streets of Russia. Much love from India❤️❤️🇷🇺🇮🇳and isn’t that the best part of humans? You speak their language and you get accepted ❤️
If I remember correctly she lives there and only speaks 3 languages. Xio adds languages every few months. Last he listed he was at 8-9. I know he added an Inuit language and a Lakota language at the very least
This is so wholesome. Learning another persons language makes them feel happy that you took the effort to communicate with them in THEIR mother tongue rather than expecting them to communicate in yours. Kudos.
Years ago in Australia, while I was eating a late lunch in an almost empty Chinese restaurant, two young Caucasian girls in matching school uniforms, who looked to be sisters in their early teens, sat down at the next table. As both girls studied the long menu, I was wondering how were they able to navigate around the complex choices as this was a sophisticated fine dining restaurant not your typical local suburban Chinese establishment. When the waitress returned to take their order, to her surprise and mine, the girls spoke in perfect Mandarin asking knowledgeable and intelligent questions. While they waited the girls chatted in English with a pronounced English accent rather than Australian. After their dishes arrived they ate their lunch with gusto, handling their chopsticks with the dexterity of native born Chinese. I left soon after, feeling inadequate because of my own poor command of Chinese which happened to be my mother tongue. The two girls were impressive!
@@himynameis1696 could be but their accents had a pronounced clip typical of Londoners. I’ve lived in UK as well as Australia to be able to hear the subtle, and not so subtle, differences.
Why is it more impressive that they speak Chinese just because they're white? It's like tons of people speak other languages, I think we need to stop putting white people up on a pedestal for learning a popular language as it's a really common thing to do. I say this as a white person.
@@davidlang1125 If I may ask, Sir, would you mind expanding on why you felt you had to leave? I'm from the West, and I don't understand your perspective.
facts!! Growing up, I remember seeing, what I didn't know then but now do, these Morman's speak Hmong (my native language and not Mongolian) PERFECTLY! If I were to close my eyes and listen, I would have thought he was Hmong.
@@icy5982 The west has been the victim of mass immigration for generations, the east has not. The west as been plagued by anti-native-european propaganda for a century, the east has not. That is why one is common and the other is not. Also the spread of english ofc, Hong Kong was an english city.

LOL LEGIT Lol I swear some asian women have some animosity towards white women … This lady is like NO REALLY … HOW are you speaking our language so wonderfully 😂 my ex’s Filipino side of the family … man they were always poking fun at me and just criticising everything I did … but ALWAYS in a ‘complimentary’ way with a smile on their faces
@@r.coffman1431 I know basics but they have gone to childcare since the age of 6 months and been spoken to in English and mandarin. Everyone knows it’s easy for them to learn. I went to office of an international bank where nobody spoke it. In Singapore English is the first language. Many of my ethnic Chinese friends can’t speak good mandarin, let alone write it
Move to a different country and don’t study grammar(first), just go with the flow in interaction with the locals and you’ll find yourself speaking it in no time. I know, most of us can’t afford to move out drastically like that but if you’re one of those who can then you should 🫶🏻.
The women were amazed that she could speak the language. The First Lady with her mouth wide open was like ohhh. The little lady is good at speaking the language
Absolutely… Navajo is known as one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn.. just because SO many words change depending on the context! Also the pronunciations can be very difficult! So just for those 2 reasons alone it’s one of the most difficult!
Imagine how nice it is to see someone take the time to learn your own language in a separate country. I'd feel so honored that my culture is being spread and respected.
@@Anonymous-uw4sr I'm from America. Never really had to experience it. Had to imagine I worked in China for a few years. Struggled to learn the language then a nice Chinese couple comes in and speaks perfect English to me. It'd be a bright point for sure.
Well sadly it is expected for others to know English but not expected for English speakers to be fluent other languages. So it becomes a shocker when someone travels to your country and speaks to you in your language
While serving in the U.S. Navy, my friend was a Asian linguist and we used to love going into Asian restaurants. He would listen to the dialect being spoken, and then order our food in that dialect.❤😂🎉 man I miss those days….
Now that is COOL! Would love to see that. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸 My youngest son is in the Navy, stationed in Yokosuka Japan & on the USS Ronald Regan. ❤😊
Sounds better than the Russian language linguists I picked up around Annapolis and DC in my past life as an Uber driver. Half couldn't even hold a basic B1 level conversation, and most of them had awful accents and syntactical artefacts.
I'm glad I'm teaching my kids different languages and it's encouraging them to want to learn more. The job opportunities, that special someone they meet won't be restricted cause they only speak one language life will be brighter for them
He doesn’t lol. It sounds good to you because you don’t speak the languages so you don’t know what it sounds like properly. As a Persian I’ve seen a lot of people “speak Farsi” but I could barely understand what they are saying. To a non Persian they would look fluent. Not saying it’s for every language he has learned but yea
Ok, but that’s ‘lots of people,’ this person was talking about THAT guy in the video and I’ve seen a few of his, which are pretty cool. He does dozens of languages, and I would hazard a guess that he CRAMS for however long to learn a little more than conversational level and then goes to talk about what he’s learned. Cuz you can probably guess what the other persons reaction is gonna be and you prepare your responses. Also gotta learn to listen tho.
@@Khaleesi_Jack what? I speak two of the languages he “knows” man, he’s not very good at them. Actually he’s terrible at them (Arabic especially) It takes about 10,000 hours to learn a language to fluency. At around 2-3k u can start accurately being able to understand the language. I would argue the level he was at was less than 50 hours in the languages except Chinese which of course he is very good at because he has more than 10,000 in it. I’m not hating on him, I’m just answering the comments question? “How does this guy learn languages so fast and accurately”. He doesn’t, as I explained in my comment above. There are real polyglots like Stephen krashen who has actually taken many languages to that 10,000 hour level of fluency. Ones a linguist and professional polyglot and ones just a content creator who likes learning new phrases and greeting in different languages. Two different things and nothing wrong with either, but there is a difference.
@@proddirtneckWow! very interesting. Even if I put in 10,000 hours my memory is so rubbish it would be a waste of time. I have tried to learn Spanish, can read a bit of it but find it hard to put the sentences into speech.
@@deborahhenderson149 you should only try to speak once you have become fluent in the language. If you can’t even read a newspaper or a book to completion then u should not even be thinking about communicating, that is way past your level. even at 10,000 of studying, it’s not going to be easy to form your thoughts like in your native language, and ur going to be making grammatical mistakes all over the place. To be honest you never actually get to that level of being able to speak like you can in your native language unless you spend another 10,000 just speaking or even more. It’s weird how our brains work. It would be impossible to study 10,000 hours and not understand the language. Seriously, even at 2k hours of studying you can start diving into things you enjoy and shows that you would watch in your native language instead of children’s books. By 10,000 you would be WAY past that point. I would look up Matt vs Japan. Even though he learned Japanese, the methods of studying he talks about can be applied to literally every language on earth, that is how I learned Japanese. With a language like Spanish, if u studied at least 4 hours a day you would become fluent in less than 3 years. For Japanese it would take you 6. So keep going, and don’t think ur not smart enough or anything because that doesn’t matter at all, the only thing that matters is how many hours you put into the language. u have a good foundation for becoming fluent 👌🏼
damn i love xiaomanyc's content and his mandarin is quite good but hers is on a whole other level holy shit. barely heard any accent like he's been speaking it all her life. thats amazing
So funny! All Asian are so welcoming when you spend the efforts to learn their language. And when Asian learn their language, the white people be like “you should speak better” 😅
Oh & what’s the white people language? Cause there are plenty of country’s that Caucasian’s make up most of the population who’s first language are not English lol
I would never say that to someone. Just saying stereotypes are very damaging. I am a white woman and would never criticize someone for that I would be applauding them because it’s impressive to learn other languages. I appreciate other people though and no matter the color of someone’s skin there are plenty of judge mental people out there. Not just white people, fyi
Go to Europe. They look at you with contempt if you have any accent from being a foreigner, let alone imperfect grammar/limited vocabulary. Toss a menu on the table and won't even come around for 15 minutes.
The fact that this guy spoke only English until 18 and has learned all these languages is so inspiring man
He did a video on why it's actually harder for kids to learn new languages as opposed to developed adults.

They're so happy and proud of how beautiful she talked in their language. It warms their heart in a respectful way. 🙌
*their
You could learn how to play the piano on that other ones teeth 😅
The first "their" should be *"they're"
I know right. Then she showed her rudeness when she dismissed them after they asked her about it???? Wtf
I have mixed feelings on that statement because I watch alot of people who make content on China and all of them talk about how no matter how long they live in the country or even if they were born there if they don't match the skin color people will comment on their skill in speaking Mandarin. And if you don't think there might be something wrong with that, imagine being surprised and commenting on how good an asian person is at speaking English, albeit there is a small difference there admittedly.
The genuine smile from the Chinese woman was awesome, you really made her day and mine too!
most chinese people are like that, not just her
It is so respectful to speak the language of the people. I’d love to learn more:
People appreciate when foreigners learn they language
@@hhtravel8942yes especially when you go to there workplace, chinese people are very welcoming and i find they go overboard to satisfy you.
Language and food are two things that bring people together. I love learning languages, and this is so awesome ❤ I wish that more kids were taught multiple languages. Its such a wonderful thing to be able to communicate with people in different languages/ countries. ❤
as a chinese person, i can confirm the happiness we feel when we see someone from a different netionality speaking chinese. I legit go wild and i start spewing chinese until its like- ayo can you slow down a bit your a bit fast
Korean here, it's the same for me when someone surprises me with Korean.
I think we all feel that way. I'm Hispanic and I love hearing people from different nationalities speak Spanish
Chinese, whether it’s Mandarin or Cantonese is a very hard language to learn, even for native speakers. You have to use it or lose it.
my favorite part of everyone of these kind of videos is how humble they act towards people who compliment them. its seems like a great sign of respect.
Wish could feed Alot Of Great people with this delicious food
Looks fantastic!💕🥡💕
That was the appropriate response to a compliment.
So much compliments to them and she didn't even say thank you. «Lets us eat»!!!!

PSA TO EVERYONE ABOUT THE RUDENESS:
This short is cut up from the original video. I have no idea why they did this, but it makes her look awful. This is not how the original interaction goes. Her "Let us eat first" is actually in response to the waitress asking if they want more food, but they cut that part out here.
Someone else mentioned it was edited to show that way but wasn’t the original conversation the let us eat was to the lady asking if she wanted more food. Sometimes people don’t do the best job when editing.
She did say thank you; you need to try harder when attempting to judge someone
@@TheAtomicDancerV2 it irritated me too how she dismissed them… take 60 seconds to answer or stop inviting conversations to shut them down
@@lisabeth2994She didn't dismiss her. Watch the whole video. Block this channel for a false edit. They are making money off her.

Many Chinese can speak impeccable English in the west and hardly get any compliment.

Amazing. My mom is Indian but born in Singapore. She speaks mandarin and Cantonese so fluently that everyone’s jaw drops. This Sikh Punjabi woman just engaging in a few languages that all. I was too young when we moved to Canada so I didn’t get a chance to learn.
You can still learn if you want to, it's never to late. I'm sixty two and just started learning Tagalog.
Theyre always like “no noo im really not that good haha im still learning” all humble after flawlessly speaking the language
I've noticed this in every one of Xiaoma's videos and also Anming's (Oriental Pearl channel--she also explores culture and things others may not). It must be a cultural thing. Most Americans who speak a second language will say "thank you," I think...though come to think of it, when I get complimented on my Spanish I do say Gracias," but also I tend to ask what something or other means so they can teach me. A case of showing you're not too big for your britches, maybe?
@@5GburnI think its common for people learning another language to be shy and/or very humble about it probably because we think we’re fumbling it somehow when in reality we’re doing quite fine. I feel the same with spanish, I’m learning it and somehow always feel like I’m saying something wrong.😅
This is one of a multitude of reasons why I choose to learn many languages. I'm a native Texan and Hispanic. 😁😁😁
Her Chinese is perfect 🥰 💞. Love ❤️ the reaction.
About 20 years ago I visited Beijing (Peking then). We were at a restaurant and next to our table were 3 white and 1 black men. They were eating chicken feet, century eggs, etc....and having a lively conversation in perfect Mandarin. I was blown away.
In Dutch we still call it Peking, I thought it was just a 'Dutchified' word for Beijing. 😂
The name in Chinese was the same 20 years ago. The English translation changed from Peiping & Peking to Beijing.
Ugh 😩 chicken 🐓 feet
Probably traitors selling our intelligence
@@hawkeyemaga3110 good for skin
These kinds of reactions are favorite when someone finds out I speak Portuguese. They’re always so kind and super supportive about it! I love it. ❤
That bridge between cultures disappears, people feel more connected, plus there’s respect for their culture to take time out n learn their language.
It was the same for me when I tried to speak in elementary Italian while visiting Rome. People appreciate the effort. The waiter at one restaurant served me a free dessert just for my effort!
I love Portuguese! Learned it when Dad was stationed in Rio for almost 5 years.. I was age 8 to almost 13 and went to a Catholic school where English was spoken but Portuguese lesson was every day. Living in Orlando FL for many years, I often hear Portuguese when out shopping (Brazilian women are world class shoppers), I listen for awhile then walk up to them and ask in Portuguese if they're Brazilian. The look on their faces is priceless and ALWAYS they immediately ask me E VOCE TAMBEM?.. ("and you too?")
My accent is so good they're surprised I'm American! Thanks, Dad and Mom! Just love it...such a beautiful language. And it IS such a surprise to others too. My psy development students didn't know I spoke Portuguese until a Brazilian girl showed up to class and I started speaking to her in Portuguese. Always fun to be able to use the education of another language.
I walked into a burger king and i ordered in perfect english..im proud of me
Did they answer back in Spanish? 😏
I did too! And they still screwed up my order!
Boo ! You want attention without doing anything spectacular
We do love it when foreigners speak our language fluently.
I think that's with everyone besides maybe the French 😂 I know if I was in another country where very few people speak English, I'd be ecstatic to run into someone that does.

As a grade school student we took French and Spanish. I still sometimes talk to myself in simplistic french at 76. The Spanish helped me with my widowed mother's grief after my Dad died. We lived in Minnesota, but within 2 weeks in Mexico, I could navigate, and we spent a full year, where I became pretty fluent. Asian languages are beyond me but I love the poetry sound of Spanish.
I took 4 yrs of French in high school and 1 yr of French Literature in college. My high school teacher said "When you start dreaming in French, you'll know you've got it!" And I did!
Same here , although it was 30yrs ago. I took 4yrs of French . its when you starting thinking or dreaming in the language is when you've got it.
I love languages period!!! I dont like to be left out of conversations! Its fun and challenging!
I started dating a man who didn't speak English & I didn't speak French but after 5yrs I Understood everything he and his friends n family were talking about but when I went to speak it because my accent wasn't perfect they used to kinda make fun of me so I just stopped trying!!!! I'm sorry but Persian French is snobby if your pronunciation isn't spot on!!!! Of course he picked up English quickly (he spoke 5 other languages fluently) but he basically learned from me so it was a lot of slang Not Proper English per say..... But if we got into an argument he would start trying to cuss me out in English but would automatically switch to French when he was really angry with me which would make me laugh cos he'd be stumbling over the English but he def knew what he wanted to say!!!
You have to speak it to keep it, so Kudos to them 4 going places where ppl speak the languages he speaks or is trying to learn!!!!
Unfortunately I can't understand French anymore.... A few things but NOT like when I was dating him & my Dad's side is Canadian French but his parents never spoke it to my Dad n his sisters because they were in America so they wanted them to speak English and plus they would talk so the kids wouldn't understand what they were saying!!! I Soooo Wish they would have spoken it to my Dad and n turn him speak it n the house to me n my brother n sister!!!! I don't speak French or Native (Blackfoot) cos both my great grandmothers on my Dad's side were full blooded native Blackfoot.
But I can understand n speak some Spanish... Because of my Spanish friends and there are a lot of Puerto Rican n Dominican's that live in Rhode Island especially South Providence.
I think it's Great when someone can speak another language and I'm intrigued when they speak several. This young man starting at 18yrs old & speaks several languages in Inspiring!!!!
I always make an attempt to help those around me, regardless of language. I’m from the US and speak English, but I’m fluent in Spanish and have often encountered Spanish-speaking customers in line ahead or behind me who I’m able to assist. I wish I spoke more languages. (Definitely on my to-do list!). Sometimes just compassion and patience can help, as well ❤❤❤
¡Muy bien dicho!👍🙋🏼♀️
Being humble and saying it's not good when it's clearly good - is an asian cultual trait

I am deeply moved to see many foreigners trying to learn how to speak Chinese, and I will continue to encourage them.
I visited Russia a few days ago and the best part is even a translation app can help break boundaries and bias. I had beautiful conversations with random strangers without knowing the language. They were amused to see an Indian mama trying to navigate the countryside and the streets of Russia. Much love from India❤️❤️🇷🇺🇮🇳and isn’t that the best part of humans?

If I remember correctly she lives there and only speaks 3 languages. Xio adds languages every few months. Last he listed he was at 8-9. I know he added an Inuit language and a Lakota language at the very least
Such a cute and sweet interaction!!!
I genuinely find that so sweet how surprised and happy she looked seeing someone who took the time to learn her language❤
This is so wholesome. Learning another persons language makes them feel happy that you took the effort to communicate with them in THEIR mother tongue rather than expecting them to communicate in yours. Kudos.
Years ago in Australia, while I was eating a late lunch in an almost empty Chinese restaurant, two young Caucasian girls in matching school uniforms, who looked to be sisters in their early teens, sat down at the next table. As both girls studied the long menu, I was wondering how were they able to navigate around the complex choices as this was a sophisticated fine dining restaurant not your typical local suburban Chinese establishment.
When the waitress returned to take their order, to her surprise and mine, the girls spoke in perfect Mandarin asking knowledgeable and intelligent questions. While they waited the girls chatted in English with a pronounced English accent rather than Australian. After their dishes arrived they ate their lunch with gusto, handling their chopsticks with the dexterity of native born Chinese. I left soon after, feeling inadequate because of my own poor command of Chinese which happened to be my mother tongue. The two girls were impressive!
r u sure they were not australian??
@@himynameis1696 could be but their accents had a pronounced clip typical of Londoners. I’ve lived in UK as well as Australia to be able to hear the subtle, and not so subtle, differences.
Why is it more impressive that they speak Chinese just because they're white? It's like tons of people speak other languages, I think we need to stop putting white people up on a pedestal for learning a popular language as it's a really common thing to do. I say this as a white person.
@@davidlang1125 Quite possibly a Cultivated Australian accent.

i’d say navajo is a really hard language as well because of the fact that there isn’t an official grammar rules and there a lot of factors for verbs
Absolutely… Navajo is known as one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn.. just because SO many words change depending on the context! Also the pronunciations can be very difficult! So just for those 2 reasons alone it’s one of the most difficult!
Really?! That's so interesting. I didn't know that.
The rules being “official” don’t matter. They exist if you like it or not

How does this guy learn languages so fast and accurately?
He doesn’t lol. It sounds good to you because you don’t speak the languages so you don’t know what it sounds like properly. As a Persian I’ve seen a lot of people “speak Farsi” but I could barely understand what they are saying. To a non Persian they would look fluent. Not saying it’s for every language he has learned but yea
Ok, but that’s ‘lots of people,’ this person was talking about THAT guy in the video and I’ve seen a few of his, which are pretty cool. He does dozens of languages, and I would hazard a guess that he CRAMS for however long to learn a little more than conversational level and then goes to talk about what he’s learned. Cuz you can probably guess what the other persons reaction is gonna be and you prepare your responses. Also gotta learn to listen tho.
@@Khaleesi_Jack what? I speak two of the languages he “knows” man, he’s not very good at them. Actually he’s terrible at them (Arabic especially) It takes about 10,000 hours to learn a language to fluency. At around 2-3k u can start accurately being able to understand the language. I would argue the level he was at was less than 50 hours in the languages except Chinese which of course he is very good at because he has more than 10,000 in it. I’m not hating on him, I’m just answering the comments question? “How does this guy learn languages so fast and accurately”. He doesn’t, as I explained in my comment above. There are real polyglots like Stephen krashen who has actually taken many languages to that 10,000 hour level of fluency. Ones a linguist and professional polyglot and ones just a content creator who likes learning new phrases and greeting in different languages. Two different things and nothing wrong with either, but there is a difference.
@@proddirtneckWow! very interesting. Even if I put in 10,000 hours my memory is so rubbish it would be a waste of time. I have tried to learn Spanish, can read a bit of it but find it hard to put the sentences into speech.
@@deborahhenderson149 you should only try to speak once you have become fluent in the language. If you can’t even read a newspaper or a book to completion then u should not even be thinking about communicating, that is way past your level. even at 10,000 of studying, it’s not going to be easy to form your thoughts like in your native language, and ur going to be making grammatical mistakes all over the place. To be honest you never actually get to that level of being able to speak like you can in your native language unless you spend another 10,000 just speaking or even more. It’s weird how our brains work. It would be impossible to study 10,000 hours and not understand the language. Seriously, even at 2k hours of studying you can start diving into things you enjoy and shows that you would watch in your native language instead of children’s books. By 10,000 you would be WAY past that point. I would look up Matt vs Japan. Even though he learned Japanese, the methods of studying he talks about can be applied to literally every language on earth, that is how I learned Japanese. With a language like Spanish, if u studied at least 4 hours a day you would become fluent in less than 3 years. For Japanese it would take you 6. So keep going, and don’t think ur not smart enough or anything because that doesn’t matter at all, the only thing that matters is how many hours you put into the language. u have a good foundation for becoming fluent 👌🏼
