So today we’re going to go undercover and see what Chinese people REALLY think about these tattoo fails, although because it’s winter I have a hoodie instead, it says “laowai” 老外 which means “foreigner”, which is a slangy way Chinese people often refer to non-Asian people. (Not in a negative way!) If you’d like to get one of these shirts or hoodies for yourself you can just head to merch.xiaomanyc.com/

When they call you "foreigner" that's probably polite. What about "white devil with long nose"? That's what two white professors of sinology got called on their walk in old Beijing

@@em.pxthetic , for real, she was still flirting when he left, lol
@@FumbleAIBO Also, within Chinese/Japanese social culture being as light-skinned as possible is considered as the highest form of beauty so that leads them to being attracted to white men/women more often. Quite interesting to say the least :)
@@mohammedmiah9553 Actually no. Because white face and Asian face are diffrent and no offense but most Asian don't like most white people's odor so most of them don't prefer white. So pls don't misunderstand. Sorry

This is so cool to see people being IMMEDIATLY more friendly and less shy once they speak your language
more like ass kissers lol. but i hear ya
@@banderas2000 I def don’t think they’re necessarily ass kissing, in the beginning maybe a bit, but mostly real amazement
So cool how people talk shit until they know you understand
Really! It inspires one to learn as many languages as possible, especially if you live in a large city like New York City!
@@samhouston5217 bruhhhhh pls tell me you're joking
I like how they assume he is a foreigner and probably doesn’t speak the language but they don’t say nasty things.
He doesn't give them time to. If he waited longer instead of revealing that he understood them in the first 90 seconds he'd hear a lot more trash talk.
He should go into a nail salon. Bet that would change LOL
Actually being how this is in America he’s the native and they’re the foreigners.
@@themotorhino1331 is this a joke with the punchline being he's already done it
Lmao I guarantee you they would have talked shit about him had he not intervened so quickly
What’s great to see is watching people become so much more expressive. without the burden of having to translate their thoughts and the potential embarrassment of saying the wrong thing in English, their personalities shine through. I can’t stop watching lol
That's so true
I always love when you break out the Fujianese to people who are already enjoying the fact that your Mandarin is so good. Their reactions are always priceless and this was one of the best ones yet.
Yeah, you can tell they really respect him for that.
100% agree, mandarin is impressive enough but when you break out into Fujianese they seem so excited...question, were they the first Chinese settlers in & around New York?
@@eckahesketh9789 could be wrong, but i believe so? there's a chinese-canadian youtuber who does videos on china's history and culture and i think she mentions this offhand in her video "Why American Chinese Food Deserves Respect (And Why the MSG Fear is a Hoax)" by Xiran Jay Zhao
Amazing talent, hard work and discipline
Reminds me of when Laoshu would break out the Cantonese or local dialects ❤️

This is an older video, but I'm so thrilled. My wife is Chinese (Hubei province), and I've been learning Mandarin a little at a time. It was amazing to me that I'm now beginning to understand the conversations Xiaoma is having with the vendors. I am also noticing that the translations are not exactly what is being said. So cool! I'm going to keep practicing. I've been learning spanish and chinese at the same time... seems to help some learning more than one language at once. not sure why, but that is my experience.
Yeah you are right xiaoma videos translation is not 100% exactly what they are talking
To help with your studies might I suggest Mandarin oranges?
@@dangeroustoothpaste lol. Naw, too much sugar. bad for the brain...
All the best in learning Chinese man! Takes time, but you can do it. 加油！
Could you imagine this?...A prank channel that's actually wholesome, instead of a complete fake garbage.
Loved the video, brought a huge smile in my face, keep it up.
yeah, mostly theyre staged but this one isnt and is very entertaining
Bots
still its kinda cringe.its not like their saying bad things
YESSSSSSSS PLEASE!!!!!
This is my favorite thing right now.
This is the only channel I know of that has "bait and switch" hilarity with zero toxicity.
I hope your channel grows and prospers.
I love this guy, well deserved 4,5M subs!
4.5 million subs. If that’s not grown and prospered I don’t know what is
@@hydropage2855 if his content stays non toxic, I hope he gets to 10 million
Has there been anyone who does this in toxic ways?
right?
It's actually true that most people will where whatever. My coworker came to work wearing a rave looking shirt with the Japanese writing "もっとトロ食べる"
And I started laughing. I'm like "do you know what it says?" He said he though it meant party hard cause he bought it at a rave shop.
But it means eat more toro.
I saw a really great Kanji tattoo I want. I dont have a kanji keyboard so can't write it, but the guy thought it said "lover of Asian beauty" it actually says "foreign pervert" ..it would fit me so well.. those Chikan gonna get it. 😏
God I had a similar experience. I was simply riding the bus one day, looked out the window and say somebody with a tote bag with big letters "TOKYO" on the top, and, the bottom, "私は日本語が話せません" (translation: I can't speak Japanese). It was so surreal I had to immediately tell everybody I knew.
@@IDontReallyWantATH-camHandle thats funny, just like how foreigners will wear shirts with random english words, people here are the same with random other languages haha
What the hell is toro
Hey, that's good advice!
There’s so much laughter in this video. That’s what I love about it. And, yes, your language skills are indeed impressive.
It always makes me laugh when they see you as a silly foreigner until you speak their language then they basically want to marry you 😂
Chinese sure is a language that it's hard to learn so it's remarkable imo to know it and maybe for them too

@@humanperson9443 omg is that german 😍😍
@@cleetus_ yes,
Reminds me of 50 years ago when I was teaching conversational English in Japan. I spoke little Japanese, but my boss was fluent. One day he accompanied me to a shipyard where I taught. Some of the students got there early and started gossiping about us. He was translating their comments for me, then when the session started , he stood up and addressed them in Japanese - a few red faces.
nice memories dalton thaks for sharing
You never know who's listening
@@Maja-gg9tc That's not nice to say.. (judging by "the tone" you're using)
People can easily think you're disrespecting the elders by saying this
@@Maja-gg9tc wait till you find out the world existed before you were born and people age since then 😱😱
@@Maja-gg9tc Oh, i see. But i have seen many on youtube, though i haven't seen much people that are 50+ years old.
"your wife has great taste" is so adorable compliment
The girl at the mall was so adorable, she didn't even think to gossip but instead right went out to try and tell you what the word on the sweater said in case you thought it meant something else, trying to make sure you don't get mocked or anything. Sweet woman.
I think that one store where the people were talking like: "his shirt says foreigner... Should we tell him?" And they actually told you. Those were the only genuinely nice ones. Because they were behaving nice and proper to you BEFORE you showed them that you could understand them.
Is that word a slur? Like are there negative connotations with it? Or does it really just mean "somebody from somewhere else"? I couldn't tell if the rest them were making fun of him or just kind of harmlessly giggling about the shirt. Well except the one lady tryna replace his wife
@@jayhop It is definitely somewhat of a slur depending on where you are in the world. Typically foreigners are seen as intrusive in some cultures. I think the main thing here is that he is walking around with a shirt that literally says he's a foreigner, and that most people might assume he bought it without knowing what it says.
He can speak Chinese but he can't put his fuvking NOSE IN HIS MASK!!!
@@jayhop During the pandemic so far I've seen videos of people traveling to Japan and a lot of stores there just simply wont sell to any foreigner. They have it posted on the door to the establishment. Not all of them are like that but there is a significant amount.

Honestly..this is such a gift. Even though as a Canadian I had to take French in school & even though I'm a child of immigrants..I just can't do other languages. It's such a great thing to be able to communicate with others.
Practice helps.
Discovered this channel very recently while learning japanese, and honestly this type of stuff is a big reason id like to learn new languages now. It just seems so positive and fun to be able to interact with people in this way. I live in Canada and contrary to popular belief, we are no where near as nice as people we see in video like this. Makes me really excited to one day be able to have an actual conversation in japanese, or even the other languages id eventually like to try learning (punjabi, mandarin, and norwegian).
I love how much they 'privately' enjoyed his shirt saying foreigner... and then when he's like, "what's wrong with foreigners?" And they're like, "nothing, your shirt is great!!" They were all so fun and kind, every last one of them was amazing. Extremely kind people, all of them.
I wonder if he has other less friendly encounters he doesn't show? I hope not.
@@shorey66 most definitely
@@shorey66 possible but highly unlikely honestly. I know how Chinese & fujianese ppl act & it’s a very “bow ur head & nod yes” type of deal. they usually do not interact with foreigners more than needed bc of the language barrier.
And the instant they find out he speaks their language, they’re amazed & compliment him heavily.
"Extremely kind people" ? Really.... imagine he didn't respond in their language what these "kind people" would have said.
@@taihenne2116 they would have said “wow I wonder if he knows what his shirt says, foreigners can be so foolish hahaha”
Idk what you expected them to say lol, some racist neo nazi profanity??
Relax bud, no need to be so cynical.
This guy just spreads joy and happiness. The world needs more people like him. 😀
Really? How?
@@jsl4228 seriously? Because every where he goes he makes people smile and laugh and in turn he films it and shares it with all of us and makes us smile and laugh.
If you don't at least crack a smile while watching this video then you may want to make an appointment with the doctor because you may be experiencing a bit of the blues, melancholy or depression and a doctor can definitely help you out with that.
Then you can come back and watch these videos and smile and laugh like we do.
Best wishes always ❤

agreed, the couple at the end lit up and the husband was bouncing around. it was breathtaking
and China spreads Viruses, we don't need more like them...
They are just embarrassed that he could understand them, that's why they were being nice
Oh my god this is so wholesome!!! And it's so nice they were laughing but complimented the shirt. Why is everyone so sweet!
I just LOVE this! My dad spoke fluent Japanese. He learned while he was stationed in Japan when he was in the army. When I was younger, we'd go to Japanese restaurants, and he would speak to the staff. They used to get the biggest smile on their faces when he would launch in to ordering and asking them about their families. He was Scandinavian and had a crew cut so they never suspected that he knew how to speak their language.
COOL!!
Niceee

I love Japanese.
I grew up around Japanese war brides as a child.
Love the culture and language.
Scandinavian? Is he Swedish?
This right here is the reason why I'd love to learn a new language. Having that instant positive connection with a stranger just because you speak their native tongue brings out much purer form of joy between humans. Life is great after all!
"Erasmus", you have the perfect name to say that 😂
I wish I could have the same experience. I learned Spanish out of necessity because like 80% of the people in my city speak Spanish. It's kind of expected and usually the first language that people go to. They are usually surprised that I am 100% Gringo, but I never really get to make any connections.
Life is not great at all, it is 50/50 in this life
I'd love to, but I'm 25 so it's way too late to learn
@@tyridge7714 Not at all. You just have to put in work
This kind of reaction is exactly why I would love to learn another language so fluently. I love meeting new people so this would be a great method to do that
The beauty of these videos is that Xioma invokes pure unfiltered joy from others! That is very hard to capture and he just does it over and over again.
This is the only "prank" I've seen where the whole situation is so non toxic it's so refreshing to see! Love the video hope to see more in the future!
I agree
Yeah the world is so toxic nowadays hurr durr. Just saying shit like that makes my pubes dandruff. Toughen up, cowboy.
they were being toxic to him tho
Be wary of people who use the term 'toxic'.
@@sxnses They're not being toxic, they're just laughing and/or confused by the shirt. It's sort of like going to Mexico with a shirt that says GRINGO in comic sans haha.
I had a French language teacher. He spoke about ten languages. Was a translator in the Army. He went on vacation in Canada and was on a bus in Quebec and a bunch of people were making nasty comments about him during the ride. When the bus pulled up to his stop, he told all the people on the bus to F off in French. He said they were so shocked that he knew what they had been saying about him.
Weird that people in Quebec would be shocked at somebody speaking French...

Nowadays, a lot of foreigners become multilingual. So, people need to stop badmouthing them or it will slap them back 😓
Your videos always make me smile. You are an amazing human being.
Everyone is so sweet!!!! I love that they’re so good natured even before they hear you speak - then they just get so excited!
This was soooo wholesome and I love how literally everyone immediately said “oh no, nothing, it’s great!” When you asked what was wrong with ‘foreigner’ haha
It clearly warms people's hearts when you suddenly speak in their less common language. The weight on them of not being at ease when talking is lifted unexpectedly and you compliment them deeply by your dedication to their culture. Beautiful!
Its not only that its less common but chinese is so much more difficult to learn than most other languages. This dudes chinese skills are incredible, especially for someone that wasnt raised there or lived there for a long period of time.
Everyone should learn to speak chinese because they are gonna take over the world soon enough
He can speak Chinese but he can't put his fuvking NOSE IN HIS MASK!!!
@@joshuataylor3550 I know right it’s not hard! Just cover your damn nose!
@@informant09 he has been learning for 10 years!
Such wholesome heartwarming goodness man, it brings me so much joy to see the connection!!
It happens to me all the time, but in reversal. I’m Italian, from the south, but I don’t quite look like your typical local. I got blonde hair, very pale skin, green eyes. So locals often assume I’m a foreigner, and start talking to me in [a very broken, most of the times] English. And I play along, then all of sudden I say something like “okay I had enough fun, let’s talk in Italian now” and they either look at me in disbelief or start laughing.
This has happened to me in elevators in my old university, back when my Chinese was at the lower advanced level (I could read 3000 characters and understood pretty well... I haven't practiced in eight years so a lot of that is now gone). They were talking about me, so when they got off the elevator, I made a snarky comment about how nice it was to meet other people that spoke Mandarin and ended it with a wave and a 再見！
I think it is very rude of people talking behind your back in another language. Tell alot about those people does'nt it? Tells a lot about there character.
@@andrewemery7459 Well LOL I would rather they do it where I can hear them than they do it after I've left.
Honestly, in my case, I don't really care what people say or think about me, so I was more amused.
i dont mean to be rude but why would one study 3000 characters and then quit a language. doesnt make any sense to me
@@johnny1max113 If you don’t use it, you lose it. I have a minor in Spanish but very few people in my area speak it and would want to practice with me. I also don’t have a great opportunity to use it in my job at the moment. I haven’t chosen to “quit” Spanish. I’ve had to put other things at a higher priority. Learning a language is a lifelong commitment that takes continual practice. It’s like a muscle - without consistent use, it will atrophy.
@@johnny1max113 It doesn't have to make sense to you, but here's the explanation: I was living in Canada, and then moved to Chile, where there are almost no Chinese language speakers, materials, or availability. As I didn't speak Spanish, the priority became learning Spanish instead of continuing on in Mandarin at the time: I had nobody to practice with. I also don't really like Mandarin (largely Taiwanese, as that's what I insisted on studying) entertainment, so I felt little inclination to get that listening component in by watching it.
Furthermore, my job is very demanding, and requires a lot of study constantly as is. I also have a severe and chronic autoimmune disorder that really leaves me drained and sometimes unable to function for months at a time.
Combine all those things, and I had higher priorities to fill the time I did have, fewer opportunities to maintain my skills, and a lack of energy due to severe and medication-resistant Crohn's Disease.
Now I have moved to a community with many east Asians and my disease is currently in remission, so I am picking back up my Mandarin (which is going very well), learning Japanese, and studying Classical Chinese for fun.
Really, I have no desire to learn Spanish and only got by with the basic minimums for communication, but it was a difficult time.
You'd be surprised how fast it comes back. I've only been going a few weeks and I'm probably back up to 1500 characters.
Also, I spend a great deal of time studying things not out of practicality, but because I have interests and enjoy challenging my mind. I also study, for example, many programming languages that I am vanishingly unlikely to use, because the experience of studying something quite different from what you are familiar with is one that broadens the mind and keeps it sharp: the process and not the end result is what is sometimes important.
At least Japanese will be very useful for me to know since I like a lot of Japanese entertainment, and knowing Chinese characters is a huge help to learning Japanese.
To anyone who might not understand, the ladies at the fish market weren’t making fun of him or his clothes, just pointing out that it had a funny saying on it. Just like if you saw someone with a picture of a dog on their shirt you would say “look at that cute dog on that shirt”.
I like the way he interrupts them before they can say anything self incriminating. He just gives them time to mention that it say’s ‘foreigner’ and then he wades on in there and makes friends with them. It keeps it all really positive and fun.
Unless you're one of them, there's no way at all for you to know that with any certainty. And it isn't like seeing a dog. It would be more like seeing someone who doesn't understand English with "I am stupid" on their shirt. They were all laughing at him, because they all assumed that he didn't know what it said. Not his shirt, him. For a reason.
@@mydogeatspuke Do you know Mandarin? I don't know Mandarin but i assume OP does and was explaining the "tone" of the conversation.

These videos always make me smile, the fact that most people would be offended if someone "talked" about them in another language but you just react normally is so wholesome.
I think that’s only because he understood what they were saying in that language. If someone suddenly changes languages to native tongue it’s generally so that the other person Can’t understand them.

Im a fan of him- but even if he was offended his cera is open
@@ExNatCloud yes exactly. Literally all of these people were denigrating him in their native tongue assuming he wouldn't understand them. That is insulting. They even try to pretend they were saying they liked it when they realise he understood every word. It's not wholesome, he's just making money off how predictably awful people are and more power to him.

This happened to my son while we were living in Germany. We lived there for 10 years, so he was very-much fluent in speaking, reading and writing German. One day, he was on a ropes course waiting his turn, and two German man behind him starting talking about him, (my son was maybe 14 or 15 at the time) and they even made a comment about his race. When he turned around and responded to their comments with ease, they were *shocked.* 😂 Making assumptions based solely on appearance truly can end up making you look like a fool.
@@gerhardschulzy "so calling BS on this story" 🤓
Germany(and whole western Europe) has long been full of foreigners. Nobody would've assumed your kid wasn't speaking German. Only in east Asia, that also has a lot of foreigners, you can hear such stupid remarks.
Oh boy you must have been in a really bad area because I can't imagine any german making racist remarks in public. We take that really serious here especially because of our history. There are so many different ethnic groups that live in germany and speak german, you would be hard pressed to find a german that actually thinks someone will not speak german because of the way they look. That just doesn't happen...we are very much used to seeing people that don't look "typically german" speaking perfect german with no accent at all or maybe just the slightest of accents.
Black's do that all the Time to Whites , so what point are you trying to make , I live in a Majority Black Country and Black's are always calling Whites names and been disrespectful to the White in their native tongue, but lots of Whites can speak and understand their native tongue and they forget that. Just be grateful your Black Son had that Priviledge to live and Study in Germany a White Country.

Lol actually it's not a gossip, it's just the title
They can get away with it 99% of the time.
I'll try with swiss german ;)
@@cosmasdhm Let's be honest 99% of the time it's not just "gossip". It's racism.
Keep in mind, many probably don’t care or don’t notice. This is edited to show the strongest reactions.
Can never get over their reactions of a American speaking their language. And those ladies gushing over him having a Asian wife was cute. I’m glad this dude gives them this experience
It's always cool to see an US person that doesn't behave like the rest of the world should bow to him/her and meets other nationalities halfway.
as a bilingual person speaking Chinese/English these videos are really funny
Love the way the older women react they react with laughter love watching you guys
I love these types of video

it’s even better when you can understand all of it

Nice
It’s great how he reveals another dimension to a culture that is often misunderstood by locals. So much playfulness. So willing to engage.
I like how he reveals the racist bullies
@@marknalbertaNahh 💀💀💀
What a great idea... You bring so much joy to people!
This guy makes me want to learn a new language 😊
Love this! It shows that despite the different languages, people are just people the world over. Things like this help break down barriers and blind prejudice. Keep them coming; there is a great deal of misunderstanding of Chinese people in America.
@sehhi vooty man I still can't believe he's gone.
@@Amatugold I miss him
@@Amatugold gone...? What happened?
Speaking English to random English speakers isn’t nearly as fun.
@@Qui-9 he passed from a heart condition....
Started learning Mandarin so I could transition into learning Cantonese because I made the mistake of not learning from my parents when I was younger. Trying to do my second semester of Mandarin and intro to Spanish this year thanks to you. Your videos made me want to learn languages, even if they aren't easy. I may not get the same reactions you do as I'm Chinese, but better than not trying.
I made the same mistake of not learning Mandarin as a child but im trying to learn
@@archgraljmellera . ¿ De dónde eres?
@@archgraljmellera .Soy sudafricano y aprendo español en mi tiempo libre. Es un lenguaje tan hermoso.
Siempre escucho a la gente decir que el acento argentino es el mejor.
@@archgraljmellera Gracias. Conozco bien la migración italiana a la Argentina. He leído que más del sesenta por ciento de los argentinos tienen ascendencia italiana, así que es comprensible.
Y no se deje engañar, estoy buscando las palabras más grandes en español (no hablo con fluidez).
@@archgraljmellera Hello there, can you teach me Spanish ?
I can't get enough of your videos! It has me laughing every time!
My favorite part about your content is that you’re spreading knowledge about how beautiful the language can be.
It's always great to see how everyone lights up as soon as you speak their language. Like instant connection I love it!
@eioshen boboi That's because everyone inherently knows that languages shape the way we think and feel and go about our daily lives. Knowing someone's language is a short route to knowing a person on a non-physical intimate level.
I was Commissioning a factory in the UK, the main part of it was French built and we was having all sorts of problems. The French engineers came in and found it was a problem with the machines they installed and they was not up to the job, lucky for me my colleague who was stood behind them spoke French. In a meeting we attended afterwards with the French engineers they blamed us for the issues, my colleague said that’s not what you said earlier, very embarrassing..
epic
Yeah the entire internet has adult videos, you ain't special
Similar experiences here. I speak a few European languages, though it was some naughty Spaniards for me, discussing how they could claim poor quality to pay less. I was a factory worker at the time and they were doing a walk around the factory floor with the bosses. I simply joined in their conversation 🤣
I read the exact same comment but it was for Japanese lol
@@jonsmith1162 I bet they fired you. Respect.
You are fantastic! Thank you for representing America so well❤
I love the … shall I call it pride/excitement/respect they have when you start to speech their language. And of course kudos to you… you’ve received many compliments of how well you speak! Impressive!
This video was really great, I LOVE when people talk shit about me in Spanish, and then when I laugh and respond to them right back they always change their tune so fast, you can just see the embarrassment of them realizing they're completely wrong about you. A lot of times they will immediately be genuinely friendly in acknowledging their mistake.

I understand and speak Spanish, too, and would respond back. It’s amazing how quickly they become friendly and amazed that you can speak their beautiful language!
Kinda trippy for a rabbit. I am impressed.
@Olog Hai you sound like a child
I cant get away with this. I look Mexican as hell, and ya spanish was my first language but I rarely use it. Now when I speak spanish, native speakers tell me i sound super american lol. Anyway, shop owners and vendors automatically speak to me in spanish just cuz they're pretty sure I speak it.
I love how so many people insinuate interest in becoming his wife after he impresses them with language! He's like, gosh guys i'm married *blushes & giggles"
Dude I LOVE this video. Made me smile the rest of the day. Thanks.
Xiaoma pls do more of these, these are great! Also the one where you have a kung pao chck tattoo even better🤣
“He speaks Fujianese, that’s impressive…” Xiaoma: “hold my green tea and let me really impress you with about 20 other languages…”
Hey hey thats Laoshus thing 😂
@@revertedrf978 RIP legend :(
This is just so wholesome! You’re respectful and polite and supporting many cultures. You are an amazing person, truly amazing.
Just too bad Asians can't do the same back. They cry racism in USA or anywhere abroad their homeland. But go to any Asian country and they will all stare at you and "gossip"
@@CosmicHarmony58 🤡🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@CosmicHarmony58 ur cringe
This channel makes me smile so much its crazy
These are always so much fun. Thanks for the video 🌞🌞🌞
I like how everyone's immediate response was: "We've been caught!"
Just imagine what is said to you without knowing
That’s what world is meant to be, exploring other cultures and being rewarded with smiles of ppl for that, not trying to benefit from each other. That’s so refreshing to see how much pure joy you can bring to ppl by just speaking their mother language.
P. S. Sorry for English, I’m Rus
Your English is really good! Don't apologise :D
@@SkittleStorm awww, thank you ❤️
Your thoughts came across beautifully. Thank you. Definitely no need to apologize.
Coming from a native english speaker, ur english is great! no need to apologize xx
The following will upset spineless liberals:
Oh wait. I arleady upset them.
Anyway: NOT ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL
Example: Nazis had a culture of racism.
So awesome they become insta friendly with you when you speak their language. Too cool. Definitely want to learn some new languages!
The ending was perfect, I am dying 🤣🤣🤣
Really shows us how language really is a barrier, social and cultural. Sure, everyone can learn English, but you can't express certain things exactly the same in English compared to your native language.
I have to change entire sentences just because i forgor 💀 one simple word.
Bilinguals would like a word with you
English is my third language, but I can still express myself as well in English, as I can in my native languages.
I love how their mood instantly changes once they know you can understand them, they feel heard and validated in a way native born Americans rarely acknowledge. I can barely speak one language so learning a second is out of my realm of possibility but im glad you are out there lifting their spirits even that small amount. Were all in this together.
Took 2 years of high school Spanish class passed both with at least a c or b grew up with basically all Mexican friends while my brother dated mexican girls and I'd go to her house with him alot to just chill with them..... I still dont know any Spanish
@@dankmoon949 try the pimsleur method I'm deciding on starting with german or italian as my second language next week and from what I've looked up it's the best method even the fbi uses it to help them.
@@cw-jh5wb buona fortuna!
@@wazzabi12 grazie amico.
Native born Americans?
Xiao this is so hilarious!!!! Love it
Love this! Love that everyone is laughhing too!
This made me smile so much... just shows that if you speak someone's language, you connect to them on another level 😀
I love that the one guy politely lets you do your thing and then asks for a picture!! You are famous!! And doing great things! Making great human connections! I wish all people were given the opportunity to learn multiple languages at an early age! I would kill for these types of interactions travelling!
Schools here in England (used to?) teach French and German, and I'm pretty sure American schools have Spanish classes. Most countries also teach English as a second language if it's not their native tongue. So there is opportunity for most people to be bilingual.
@@mydogeatspuke I’m Canadian and schools here “teach” French until grade 9 and if you have the space in your classes and the want you can take it throughout the rest of highschool until grade 12 but honestly it’s crap. I took it all the way through school and It’s not usable in actual conversation. It’s all grammar and structure/writing and just unrealistic lessons. We have a full French province here, Quebec, and they make fun of the rest of the country because after taking years and years of French we can’t even communicate with them lmao it’s a mess and waste of time. I have many québécois friends from attending college on the border of the province and I’ve learned more from them. The only thing I remember are a few songs, how to introduce myself, ask a few simple questions and say goodbye from the actual classes. You are not bilingual after them. I’ve talked to many people from the states because I was so close to the border aswell and there was a military base right there and it’s about the same thing with Spanish classes depending on where you live in the USA. More money, time and effort needs to be invested in second language classes. It’s such a skill and needs to be stressed here. I’m beyond jealous of other places lol.
@@mydogeatspuke also there are multiple different dialects of French so we’re just taught basically one that doesn’t exist lol just this weird textbook shit. Learning outside of school too is beyonddddd expensive here and unless you have the opportunity/access/means you just don’t learn another language groaning up.
@@soccerchick1 I had plenty of English classmates go on to take French speaking jobs after learning the fundamentals in school. Being able to speak a language doesn't mean you know the language. I don't find it useless to be able to understand a second language in the same ways we understand our own. Kids will make fun of anyone for anything so their opinions really aren't that interesting. You don't learn advanced algebraic equations in primary school math because you need to learn the basics first. That's what grade school is for.
@@soccerchick1 there are multiple dialects in England too but English is still universal..
It's so sad they are mean until they know you speak their language
Great job, love this!
Our commonalty is what connects us to one another. I commend you for taking the time to master different languages. It's awesome.

We need more people like you.. because then we could all see that people are essentially the same.. with all the same needs and loves and wants and desires. Bravo on your skill.
Nope. That's the problem. People are not the same and we should simply accept that. Stop pushing unity and accept diversity. It's so silly to see humans as the same because that's the cause of so many problems. Who decides what normal is if we are all the same? Because most people think they set the standard for normal and ultimately decides others are different when we should or basically are the same. I agree that it's a nice video though. But we should move on from that stuff. We already know what we SHOULD do and act, we already know what is wrong. We just need to focus on the good parts instead of distracting us with bs. Comfortable is not good. You watching a movie with popcorn isn't good while bad stuff happens in your country. People are just distracted, because it's more comfortable. Who told you I'm like you? A movie? A song? A politician? Your mom? Because I am NOT you, and I still want to be accepted.
@@Gnossiene369 we shouldn't always accept our differences. That means that we should accept the most cruel people and cultures as well
This makes me *smile* the entire time! ❤️
This was awesome! I got such a laugh. Seriously though, it makes me wonder how much better the world would get along if we all spoke the same language.
