- How do people react when they suddenly realize you can understand what they are saying in a foreign language? How about multiple languages? I went across the US and Japan speaking English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean to see how people would react.

I just finished all my Korean audio lessons while traveling across the world the last 2 months. I want to use them for Vietnamese next. Try them yourself in 50 different languages:
Anming, there are many TH-camrs speaking different languages, but NOBODY comes off as more natural and real as you. You impress everyone because you are not "trying". You actually speak the languages.
You know you master a language well when you can interpret from one language to the other. Even more impressive when it's from Japanese to Chinese!
I'm Japanese-Filipina and I'm fluent in Tagalog, Japanese, and a little Spanish and Cantonese. Everytime I visit Oahu (my moms hometown) my relatives are always so surprised that I'm able to switch languages whenever I'm interacting with tourists. My aunt even joke that I should've been a diplomat lool. I love seeing your videos!
Bringing people together and making others smile because you cannot only speak their language, but have explored their culture is simply beautiful.
Absolutely fascinating to watch you greet and talk with all these different languages. I'm so proud that you can represent the U.S. and so many other countries. Enjoy your travels.
I really liked the interactions in Hawaii. The Vietnamese woman was really sweet. You're one of the few humans on Earth who can communicate with such ease from language to language. Maybe in later years you can hit on some of the other major Chinese dialects like Cantonese and Shangheae, or Fuzhounese just for kicks.
You're amazing! My wife is first generation American from Guangdong and can't believe how well you speak. By the way, we both feel that you are such a sweet young lady. I'm 58 and my amazing wife is 60. Keep doing all good you're doing. God bless you and you family! I also have family in Michigan. Sister outside of Traverse City and their son and his wife and family in Grand Rapids.
I lived on Oahu for 22 years and completely embraced the multi cultural lifestyle. I love languages and try to at least learn polite phrases in the language of each country that I travel to. So far I have learned some Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian,Bahasa , Thai, and Swahili and a few more. My dream is to achieve fluency in at least one. Swahili is my favorite. I’m really inspired by your wonderful videos.
Only 0.8% subscribe? That's nuts. Come on people, this is such a great channel. Keep up the good work guys, love seeing the places you go and hearing you speak with people. It's so great to see their faces light up when you speak so fluently with them.
I'm a native English speaker who is very impressed (and a bit envious) when people can speak many languages. I've picked up a few words and phrases here and there over the years, but my brain doesn't seem to be able to handle the grammatical structure and flow of other languages. It always makes me laugh when some people think Anming is Russian 😁
Tommy is so adorable, like a kid in a Toy store. Its refreshing to film outside of Japan but still with Japanese culture . Looking forward to more videos from you both
I adored your interaction with the Chinese speaking group! It was a special moment of connection that felt very warm, and I admire your language skills immensely.
Yes, you speak each language so well. However, it's really impressive how seamlessly you transition from one to another. Hopefully I can be like that one day.
My mom was Korean, so I grew up learning the basics from her, and just from eavesdropping when she'd talk to friends and her family😆 I've always liked learning different languages and am learning ASL. It can be mentally draining trying to communicate in another language because it definitely requires extra attention to listening and remembering the formalities and correct pronunciation, but it is fun. I always enjoy your videos, Happy New Year!
Anming- promoting a more inclusive and diverse Japan on a daily basis. Thank you!🙌
Longtime subscriber here - this is amazing, and thank you for sharing your life's journey with us all! You inspire us to reach beyond our perceived limitations. All the best to You & Tommy!
I’m blown away not only by the ease in which you speak Chinese and Japanese, both very difficult languages for English speakers, but also by your humility when you constantly tell folks your Japanese or Chinese is “ok”. I’m sure it’s a whole lot better than ok. You’re awesome!
Haha its hilarious when they don't think you can speak their language but bust it out & they look confused
Genuinely love seeing you interact with everyone in their native languages it’s so impressive. I speak a few languages but none of them confidently but watching you speak like this made me revisit language studies
