- Thanks to Vessi for the sponsorship! Their shoes are genuinely amazing. Make sure you head to vessifootwear.com/xiaoma for $40 off your first pair!!! In this video I attempt to learn to speak as much Hindi as possible in 24 hours, and then go talk with total strangers in New York’s Indian / Pakistani / South Asian neighborhood of Jackson Heights. Obviously it’s not possible to learn a language to fluency in 24 hours, but I did learn how to have a basic conversation in 24 hours! As of the start of this video I knew absolutely nothing in Hindi - not the script, not how to say hello or goodbye, nothing. I also did not know any languages related to Hindi so it was a completely new language family for me.
I learned exclusively through tutors on Italki, a website that lets you book language tutors from around the globe. They’re not sponsoring the video or anything, I just like the platform ;-)
Hindi is written in the Devanagari script, which given my time constraints I did not learn for this challenge - instead, I’ll be working through my tutors with romanized transliterations of Hindi. In the future I hope to learn Devanagari!!!

this guy is a robot...how is he learning these languages so fast ? kudos to him im still struggling to learn spanish lol
He's not really learning the language, he's just memorizing key phrases.
John in 24 hours
Once you learn 3 it’s very easy to link then and learn others bc most are built from others.
Kudos that’s not even a word 😂
Wendy Combe yes it is wat
Xiaoma can't shock anyone with Mandarin and Spanish anymore in NY. He's too popular. So now he switched to Hindi lol
And yet he couldn't find an Indian who is shocked because of his Hindi. I guess, COVID brings this
Unfortunately for his channel, Indian people tend to hide shock towards strangers very well.
@@rahulr1305 it could also have something to do with how diverse india is .. i mean it's not uncommon to meet indians who don't speak hindi
@dave16332 I am an Indian. And I appreciate the effort that others put to learn Hindi.
Try Arabic 😌🤓
He learn so fast cause he's not afraid to speak in public
He's not afraid to make mistakes, either, he just uses what he knows and gratefully accepts corrections!
I’m the opposite
Yes spot on! I do the same, not afraid to jump right into it works like a charm all the time!
Oh my gosh you're SO AMAZING my mum is Sikh and spoke so many different Indian languages I spoke Hindi fluently as a child then lost it 😢 I found myself getting really emotional watching this, I would have loved to show this to my mum but I lost her to Cancer😢. She'd probably tell me off anyway for not learning her native tongue as an adult. 😁
Damn that's Sikh

The Indians were so much more chill than the Chinese lol! The Chinese are like, "WHAT!!!???!?? YOU SPEAK CHINESE?" and the Indians were like, "Chips are over there..."
I think it's because Chinese people are surprised to hear him speak fluently and have an accent like a native speaker. With Hindi they can tell he's still learning.
He looks West Indian. I didn't see culture shock
Some parts of india and China are both very busy but I found Indian shopping to be more rush rush
That's because he is speaking very broken Hindi so they all must be thinking that he has an Indian friend who is teaching him Hindi. Besides he learnt all that in just 2 days. That is just insane. Give him 2 months he can be near perfect.
Lol
Him: I speak Chinese and Hindi
Chinese People: WHAAAT??!?!
Indians: Understandable have a nice day
almost all indians speak more than 1 or 2 languages

@@ivlivsvalerivsmaiorianvs3884 'more than'
Also his Hindi is probably very broken so it's not as impressive as speaking Mandarin, Cantonese, and Fujianese fluently
If someone deserves a Nobel Price of Peace is this guy.
He's actually connecting a lot of people around the globe, and making us feel we are all the same human beings regardles cultures and languages.
I second that!
yes he is performing a valuable function.
He makes me feel inferior
This guy and loushu are reasons I'm going to learn a language. Probably Spanish because I can use it.
I like your comment! =)
Chinese people when you speak their language: Oh shit, you speak Mandarin?!
Indian people when you speak their language: huh okay, yeah I like the pistachios.
LOL... .what?
@@_Wai_Wai_ In his other videos there's a huge reaction when he speaks mandarin to native speakers in China town and this video where he speaks Hindi is rather underwhelming. Native speakers seemingly don't care that he speaks their language.
@@DeanFiend it’s because he only practiced for a day so it’s not very fluent and impressive as his Chinese, which he spent years practicing
Not true..we also got suprised when they speak Hindi
@@shubhamsaini4638 in the video there is like no reaction. They don't even comment on him speaking the language.

English is the official language in India xD Unless you're from rural places, almost every Indian knows English since childhood
@@Rittika19 india don't have any official language at all..its diverse..but since we are adopting more of a western culture now so literally 60% indians learn to speak hindi from early age, for education and conmection purposes
@@justadey_ no. India has 23 national/official languages. Out of which English is the most commonly known nation wide. Other languages usage depends on the state & they are mostly originated from that state - eng is an exception to that.
Either way, most Indians have perfect English. The accent varies state wise which makes Americans think that it's "not perfect " - but grammatically it is .

Underrated 🤣🤣🤣❤️
He speaks Hindi with a Chinese accent 😂❤️
Yes I agree with you
It is soooo hard to kick your first accent. My first foreign language was Spanish. I started learning Portuguese and Arabic, but I keep falling into a Spanish accent 🤣🤣🤣
@@JSRoman-nx1uw Where did you learn from?
@@12367kevin I picked up Spanish in the Marine Corps because I worked with soooo many Mexicans...so I speak with a strong Mexican accent (I've been told it's actually quite good, lol). I learned Arabic and Pashto overseas. I started Portuguese after being around Brazilians for the past few years.... so the short answer is: I learned it all from being around all these people 🤷♂️
Thank you for this insight. I can't hear the difference, but I love knowing it's there.

If u think that THIS Indian language is hard, you will have a nightmare learning tamil
Agreed.
THIS indian language is more common thats why
Tamil isn’t t universal right?
Well, he’s learning Mandarin which is by far the most difficult language in the world.
@@whatyouthinkyoubecome7 Mandarin grammar is much easier than Hindi.
I am a white guy immersed in a South Asian society (Brampton Ontario) and many other non South Asians fled the city when an influx of Punjabis moved into the area, I took it upon myself to learn Punjabi to communicate with the newcomers
That’s awesome- Punjabi
That's a real shame, very sad. When I lived in the area near where this video was made the only people who were nice to me there were mainly Sikhs and Hindus. I what really appreciated about Sikhs and Hindus was that they weren't haters. Well at least that was my experience.
Damn ur so nice, once I moved outta Brampton I realized how much ppl hated it. Lived there 15 years loved every second it's such a nice city I don't get why ppl hate it and the diversity only makes it better.
Thats awesome bro! I am actually from Hamilton!
I'm from Hamilton too I have friends from Brampton.
The Indians in NY don’t seem to be as impressed as the Chinese.
That's just because not all the Indians you find are Hindi speakers. So, it's quite justified if people don't get impressed by hearing a language that's not their native tongue.
There is a huge Bengali speaking population in Jackson Heights. The first restaurant he passed on the corner is the Kabab King, e.g. The owner is Pakistani and the majority of the wait staff are from Bangladesh. Not all are Hindi speakers.
Yeah india has languages in every region and in those regions there are even different dialects. It's crazy we don't have a *true* national language but Hindi is the most common as most indian languages are connected so you can understand it to some extent
Reaction could be cultural too. Chinese in general don’t give a f*ck and will say anything on their mind. Lol
You guys say this but even for most Chinese in the US, they are Cantonese or Fuzhuan (idk how to spell it) so their mother tongue isn't even Mandarin it's their local dialect. The reality is just that Indians take less shit lmao
The way the Hindi teacher acted like he was leaving so Xiaoma could say "where are you going?" Lol!
That Hindi teacher deserves a raise🤕😅👏🤗
Good god that tutoring schedule is insane. Xiaoma’s discipline is legendary. Sad that not one Hindi speaker is impressed he speaks Hindi 😂
"For really lazy people like me!"
Me: You're not lazy, you literally learned a whole new language in a day lol
Getting hold of both Chinese and Indian audience? Damn bro.
Id love to see him learn Tagalog or Thai
As well as the Spanish audience. Our man is speaking direct to the world.
English, Mandarin, and Spanish are the big 3. Hindi/ Urdu is top 10 though.
Absolutely, this guy is a beast.
T Doran not sure, I don’t speak it myself but think it’s a stunning language and would love to see how he would be able to pick it up :)
When you learn Hindi and they speak Punjabi :)
Most punjabi people can speak hindi
They’ll still reply don’t worry..! The script is different but spoken language has a lot of commonality
@@aks9350 most not everyone expect some old uncles bcz punjabi is too much simillar to hindi i m punjabi too.
If you speak Hindi you'll be able to understand Punjabi fine after a little bit of listening.
When you know hindi you will know 4 dialects cause they sound similar
I love Hindi so much! All the vowels and consonants are intimidating and the sentence structure is hard to get used to when you're coming from Germanic SVO languages, but it's really powerful once you learn it! ❤️
As an Indian I can confirm that even after 6 years of hindi lessons you speak better than me lol
😂
"even" 6 years...lol
To be fair, he's at least somewhat talented and also very experienced in language learning, so Xiaoma's got a lot going for him
Indians love it when a foreigners speak in Hindi. Hats off to your dedication bro. Keep up the good work

Hindi Learning TV do you have a website where one can sign up to be a student? Thank you
I think the only problem is that he is repeating words and craccking between words thats very normal in chinese and korean but not in hindi......
Very true, its probably a habit he learned from those languages but Hindi and a lot of other Indian languages are way more drawn out and less stuttery (not meant in a disrespectful way to those langauges, just what I've observed)
He learned it in 24 hrs......I mean give the guy a break.
If we ever get a visit from Aliens, can we all just agree and make sure this guy is front and centre so we know what the hell they be talking about...
👍 pure brilliance
Bro his Hindi after a day sounds like mine after 25 years LOL
From which part of india are you from?
Same, lol. My parents are native Indians but I grew up in the states and this guy already speaks better than me in 24 hours vs. 24 years. I really respect him trying to speak it to complete strangers, I get so nervous for sounding stupid.
I'm just starting to learn Hindi. The alphabet is kinda easy to understand to be honest. I just wish there were better resources for me to learn. Most language learning apps don't even have Hindi as an option. I want to learn because my boss is from Mumbai and he speaks it, so I want to surprise him by casually speaking in his native tongue
@@ChristopherTradeshow @choudharyvedant my insta id hit me up if you want to learn 👌
Lol
Him: take a 10 min break & get back to studying
Me: 10 min break turns into 2 hours of watching YT
Get back to work lol!
Ashly Chalupnik 😂
So true dude Haha
Relatable af
Doing that rn
His dedication to learning languages is impressive. Also, spending all day with tutors had to be pretty expensive. Private instruction when learning anything isn't cheap.
Don't forget when we're liking, commenting and subscribing were paying for it lool
Xiaoma: learns languages like Chinese, Mandarin, and Hindi in 3 minutes
Me who lives with a completely Ecuadorian and Puerto Rican family but can only say “gracias”: 👁👄👁
¡de verdad debes aprenderlo, español es el idioma más hermoso del mundo entero! lo he aprendido por los últimos años
si
Maybe u have no interest to learn it 😒
I just started immersion into learning spanish. Before I was same, only “gracias” for my whole life growing up in a latino household.
I just realized, if Xiaoma is able to learn more Hindi, he'll be able to speak in 4 of the most widely used languages in the world. Honestly, props to him for his amazing level of tenacity.

not that it wasnt cool before but now that you put it that way its so fucking cool baha
So how long have you been fluent in hindi?
Yesterday.
@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ no need to be rude man. Atleast he's trying and that's what matters.
@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ Alright then. Sorry for misunderstanding.
@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ thank you for pointing this out because sm1 that is not a Hindi speaker to me this seems incredibly impressive and I'm sure it still is but it does come across as if he's somewhat proficient but now that you've pointed it out it does seem like he's memorizing key phrases in kind of filling it in from there
शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ you're completely missing the point...
It is still hard task like to see you learn Chinese in 1 day do half as good as him
Young man, you have such a gift when it comes to languages. I only know English, and learning new languages just doesn't come naturally to me. You're amazing, and I love watching your videos. It shows so much respect when you speak to someone in their own language.
I love how you said learning languages and being able to use them help open other people up to you.
This guy: learning all the languages of the world
Me (born and raised American): failed my way through English class
To be fair, English class is more so the grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure rather than actual speaking. A lot of people struggle with that side of the language but can have a very wide vocabulary when it comes to speaking.
Atleast you'll get an A in School shooting
I can't believe I have all this free time but can't put myself to learn a new language
Well to be fair, you (born and raised American) do put far too many Z's in words and miss out U's where they are meant to be ;) to qualify as speaking English /s
@@ChuckFickens1972 look man. I can't help that most words are so much cooler when you add z's. Tell me that "Chuck Fickenz" isn't an order of magnitude cooler than Chuck Fickens! 🤣 I was gonna use z in my name but I couldn't pronounce it 😭💤
Anyone else with ADD find this level of attention unbelievable?!

Dude for real
How you connect us through languages in these hard times is inspiring! Keep going teaching us how to be one! Great life journey.
This fellow is amazing! Luv seeing how happy the people are when he begins speaking their language.
Why can’t I have 2% of the dedication he has...?
Start with 15 one day, do 15 minutes the next, and so on.... in six months how much will you have learned? 😊 If you miss a day, don't give up!
Because he earns lots of money for doing this
Don’t be too hard on yourself. You also don’t have 2.5 mil subscribers to do it for! (On second thought, not sure if that will make you feel better or worse lol...)
Because you're not focused or dedicated. Even in the mediums you consume like anime, marvel etc those fictional characters put in hours, blood sweat and tears to achieve what was written for them to get so if you want dedication and now in the other way you're going to have to work for it as gigi said above. You can't sit there and say "I wish I was him" and then move on the next minute and not make changes. As Sun tzu said: If the mind is willing, the flesh could go on and on without many things. Its just mental games dude. Keep strong
@@Khaymanssbm That's what I wanted to say, you did it before me. Thanks! :)
It took me 10 years to learn hindi, and I am indian. Damn dude 😂😂
Hindi is hard if you don't start when your kids are born. I learned Hindi before English even in America and that made it much easier because my brain was then wired to think in Hindi but learning English was easy because I could learn from the hundreds of natural English speakers around me in America. That is why I taught my kids Hindi and French before they turned 6 and started teaching them English at age 5 so they were wired in both Hindi and French while they learned English from their teachers and friends.
Very true agreed
In metric year I took Hindi tution but no English ,still ended up getting more marks in English(Hindi se jaan chutti hai class 11mai)
I learned Hindi just watching cartoons 😂😅😅 (btw Hindi isn't my mother tongue)
Lmao I've been learning Hindi for 12 years and I just pass my way through in all my exams😂😭
I speak punjabi and hindi and it's actually insane that you learned hindi that fast. Like it's honestly good and the fact that you did it in 2 days is unbelievable. Great job
Dude....I’m so impressed with you. You’re right...I see in you videos how people open up when you speak their language. Amazing and keep it up!

WOW! You have done great. I'm impressed with how quickly you picked it up, especially with the pronunciation. You learnt it and put it into practice.

Me, a native spanish speaker: “¿Qué?”
Same here LOL.
You definitely in the future have to go to new Delhi, India and see all the reactions you will get by speaking to the locals 😂
@Richi RIch He still sounds like a foreigner but Learning this much in 24Hrs is pretty impressive. It'll take years to master Proper Indian Hindi Accent exactly like he spent years on mastering Taiwanese, Cantonese And Fouzhounese In their regional accent. Love this guy :)
Up!
I like how in every language his first instinctive step is to learn the equivalent of "yes" and then use it multiple times as a filler between sentences like "yesyesyesyesyes"
that shit would not work in German LOL
just imagining someone interrupting a sentence with Ja Ja Ja
.... LOL
I freaking love this! I love learning languages and you’re an inspiration! No joke
You're a beautiful human being! You touch, connect and build trust with a multitude of different people and its inspiring and heart warming. God bless!
What it’s taken me all my 18 years to learn, my man will prolly learn in 48 hours. Now my entire life has come into question...
Remember, his job is to learn languages, and he’s putting himself under immense pressure to learn just the basic and simple rules, so don’t feel too bad that a professional language learner can do something better, it’s his job.
He's also learning simple phrases and common responses. He only knows key phrases where you have a more solid grasp of structure, grammar, and a more robust vocabulary. Don't feel bad.
I have some Indian relatives and i cant speak Hindi. I can only speak English. And he knows a lot of languages.
Well that's pathetic lol
Language learning is actually a skill you can master and get better at and he knows I’d say abt 3-4 so he’s pretty much mastered this skill, so don’t take it too hard my dude 🤣 😅
Edit ≈ 4:51 is another reason as well, when you learn another language that differs from your own ofc at first it will be hard to grasp but at some point you’ll be able to understand how it works, so when you learn another language that uses the same if not similar type of rules will be easier 😊
"If you're lazy like me"
~Hyper polyglot learning a new language in 24 hours.
came here to say this too lmao
HvyMetal4Ever he must mean physically lazy 😂.

And not all Indians speak Hindi 😂I’m indian and when people speak Hindi to me I just act like I understand and move on quick 🤣🤣
I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this to you, but I really appreciate having had an inside look as to how you go about learning a new language. Thank you!
Imagine someone walks up and says "hi there, how are you?" And you have a mental breakdown because someone else speaks your language

Really impressive. I’m a South Indian, and it took me 3 years to reach fluent pronounciation. Thanks a lot to my mom watching Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata hein more than Hindi taught from my school lmao.
@Houston Rockets nah. His name is in Tamil. So he definitely is from Tamil Nadu.
Nah. Malayali.
I mean for 24 hours sure it's amazing... My pet peeve is the hard 'D' sound he uses, but I guess for Americans it takes a long time to get rid of that. I hope he keeps it up though... Its way more interesting to me than his Chinese videos, for obvious reasons 😄
hes pretty good for someone who’s only learned tor 24 hours. however, it isnt perfect by any means. still really really REALLLY impressive.
he resembles the typical “foreigner who learned hindi” accent. you’ll be able to distinguish from a native speaker. still its awesome.
i wish i’d be able to learn languages that fast.

Underrated comment
I wish, google translate just translates everything literally and doesn’t rearrange the words to make sense in the other language’s grammar structure. It just makes it total gibberish.
@@evakeeslar1766 technically they’re helping you, if you had the literal translation, it would be total gibberish to the language you’re translating to. I’ve never heard of someone not wanting the grammar to be correct.
@@soccergoal818 you’re not making any sense. I’m saying I wish google translate would translate it SO THAT THE GRAMMAR IS CORRECT in the language being translated to. Instead it only translates literally, word after word, from the original language to the translated language, which is gibberish and makes no sense in the end language. Why would you want English sentence structure in a language that doesn’t follow English sentence structure?

Good work bro...
I love that this video explores in depth the process of you learning a new language!
Plot twist:
Xiaoma only learns languages so he can order the off menu specials at the local foreign restaurants.
It’s not languages he’s interested in, it’s the food.
Honestly that's why I learn languages too 🤣 food #1 priority
I mean, it's not the worst reason to learn a language. XD
He orders food in every video!
That is a completely valid reason everyone hides the good stuff
Honestly thats not a bad approach. I mean for these Indian places, everyone understands English pretty well so it wouldn't make much of a difference but if you went to Flushing or China Town, knowing the language can make a big difference where it feels sometimes like no one speaks English. Especially for someone like me or even Arieh/Xiaoma who can't eat everything because of religious diet restrictions.

same but gujarati, ill still understand tho bc of bollywood
& most of foreigners think India's national language is Hindi & all knows Hindi, I feel very angry...

You can keep your 'flying', your 'super strength' and your 'invisibility'
*THIS* is an actual genuine super-power. I am SO envious.
I like your mustache dadu
@@sibasishdutta9009 He probably can't speak hindi so won't understand. Now I bet he thinks you have a dad fetish lmao 😂😂
Agreed!
A super power I would love to have!

@QuestionMan I am from India bruh. where was that by the way. which city
Looks more Japanese to me but I get chu 😂
The tutor seemed so cool. Just impressive how you learned so fast.
Xiaomanyc, you show the people you relate to such respect I'm in awe of your desire for self education & progression is truly astounding to say the very least, thank you for sharing your gift!!! 🙏 ✌
So many languages within NYC's borders, one of the many things I love about the city
I am so happy you learnt Hindi...I also realised that Hindi can be difficult for foreigners...but Indians can speak Hindi fluently beacuse it's their language...thankyou for trying...lots of love from India
Indians can speak Hindi fluently because it’s their language. 🤦♀️
So glad you pointed that out.
But actually you mean SOME Indians can speak Hindi fluently, because there are parts of India such as Tamil Nadu, Hindi isnt widely spoken.
Love it so much!! ❤️❤️ You’re so smart
it is heartwarming to see you take out time to learn Hindi (and other languages). it will open up so much of the world literature and cultural experiences for you. I am sure you must have other friends, but feel free to get it touch with me if you ever want to talk in Hindi to brush up your conversation skills, and also talk about Hindi literature!
Pro tip: Indians don’t typically say “thank you” to each other. It’s used in formal situations
Is there a more common thing said? Or just assumed that you're thankful?
M K we just say namaste which means hi and bye
Yeah the 'dhanyawaad' sounded out of place. it's shukriya
No we say thanks bro Because we indians does not speak hindi we speak hinglish thats hindi + english. Only in formal scenarios either we speak hindi or mostly english. I bet 10 yrs from future our indian accent will be more like British or American. I hope so.
@Aman Kale, brah seriously? Honestly, how many times have you said “dhanyavad” like this guy in the video does to someone in the last year? “Thank you” or “Shukriya” I can believe. But ain’t no way you running around saying “dhanyavad”
Jesus, and I struggle to speak my native language...
I can barely enunciate my own name with clarity.
Same..
Me too
I can’t even English
I never bothered to learn my native language 😅
Just superb fella, a lesson to us all. How to connect, love and enjoy existence. Please keep up your work.
Very inspiring! Hope you get to practice more when you travel to India, it'll feel even more organic there
None of the people he spoke hindi to seemed fazed like the way the chinese people are 😂
Probably because his Hindi is nowhere near the level of his Chinese (Mandarin especially, but his knowledge of Cantonese and Fuzhounese are pretty solid too).
KitKatMeow I just feel like Asians are very sarcastic. Like if you say a joke they will laugh so hard even if the joke wasn't so good. They are very simple people.
It's probably because of his accent and how most of the Indian people here met didn't have Hindi as their main language. His Chinese accent sounds better
Well they mostly replied in English which means they can prob tell his level of Hindi isn’t good based on his vocab and accent.
Regardless that’s amazing for less than a day of studying
@@johnandevefoster3816 god level feedback!
This is so inspiring. I’ve been learning Portuguese for the past 7 months, your vids inspire me to keep going!
Interesting, but why Portuguese? É uma língua que não é muito útil, eu acho ahaha
That was so impressive! Kudos, man 👏👏
