Complete Beginner Tries Speaking ONLY Spanish for 24 Hours | Un gringo intenta hablar español...

- Can a complete beginner who’s only been learning Spanish for two weeks go through an entire 24 hours with only Spanish?! So it’s my second week of learning Spanish in my 30 day Spanish challenge, and I decided to undertake the impossible - trying to go through my day with ONLY Spanish, a true 24 hour challenge. It was full of activities like cooking (we made burritos!), playing video games (Minecraft), singing reggaeton (Ivy Queen!), watching movies in Spanish, and doing yoga in Spanish. What a fun day!!!

Learning Spanish through Stories?
The course I used initially to give me a good foundation in Spanish was called “Spanish Uncovered” by the polyglot Olly Richards, which is a way to learn Spanish naturally through stories. I really enjoyed it, and it seems to be an excellent way to get a good foundation in a new language. bit.ly/3pPB0we

I'm glad we could make a burrito together in Minecraft and real life XiaoMa!
Love you with all of my heart
I just knew you would comment
Nate's Adventures I literally just watched your video hahah
NATE! When’s the next upload??!! I’m waiting!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nate's Adventures y to videos son muyyy bueno para aprender espanol hahh, porque mi gramatica es may mal aja
Me sorprende no ver ningún comentario español diciendo: *SOY EL COMENTARIO EN ESPAÑOL QUE ESTABAS BUSCANDO*
Es verdad jajaja
Ya estas tu we UWU
Puros comentarios en Inglés
A HUEVO JAJAJA
Porque nadie lo anda buscando 😬🙄 ,
Pls like this so Xiaoma can read it,
Un problema is correct
Una problema is incorrect
You learn so fast wowwww
Si! Para eso tiene que aprender los "géneros" de cada sustantivo. Así podra saber cuando ocupar un o una, el o la, este o esta, etc.
The reason is that words ending in -ema come from Greek. Greek has three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter) and in Greek these -ema words are neuter, so in Spanish they become masculine. So we have 'el problema', 'el sistema', el cine(ma), el tema, etc.
Y él dicó "ustedes le gusta" y no es correcto. Pero sí, él aprende muyyyy rapido, su impresionante.

Hey Xiaoma, good stuff for only two weeks! Here's a tip: We spaniards don't actually use personal pronouns to start a phrase. For example: "Yo tengo hambre" is well said, but a native would just say "Tengo hambre". That's because we change the verb instead, being "tengo" for referring to me, "tienes" for referring to you, "tiene" for he/she, "tienen" for we, "tenéis" for you (plural)... So when I say "Tengo hambre" it already implies that I'm talking about me, no need to add "Yo" first. Hope it helps.
Keep up the good work! Greetings from Spain!
@Floris Aleska The first thing you should know about "vosotros" the pronoun that is used in the conjugation of "tenéis" is that it is mainly used in Spain's spanish. We Latinamericans practically never use it. Regarding the meaning, it is kind of an informal plural of you. The plural meaning that you are refering to more than one person in addition to the one you are directly speaking to. We Latinamericans use "ustedes" both in formal and informal conversations.
he is the only youtuber ive seen that does challenges where he needs to learn
Nick Wintrode it’s very true
There is another. Jack Edwards who does reading challenges and makes videos about them. His sense of humor is as great as Xiaoma’s
“Ayúdame por favor” con la cabeza hacia abajo en el piso -I felt that 🤣
It's entertaining to see you trying to speak Spanish. As a native I gotta tell you that your Spanish is really good so far.
Lmao casually stirring with a serrated knife
SentBy Adds I picked that up too !!! Xiaoma is otra cosa. Lo quiero un chingo. ☮️💚❤️❤️❤️🌻💪🏼
Why use the slotted spoon that's right there in the knife block (3:45)?
I'm over here hoping the pan doesn't scratch lol that's when gma comes in and swats you with the wooden spoon before handing it to you
I thought he was going to learn sign language in Spanish. I was thinking, "What is signing in Raggaeton?" Then I realized Xiaoman will be singing and not signing.
Singing = spelling was incorrect
I mean...technically he WAS signing in Spanish. We use our hands a lot when talking. 😂
Possibly the Spanish is going in and pushing the English out? Haha :p
Xioma, eres realmente un genio tu coeficiente intelectual debe ser de 160,eres realmente una maravilla!! Saludos, tus videos me motivan para seguir aprendiendo 😊😊😊👍
Jajaajaaja lei tu comentario imaginando al moreno hablandole a forest 🤣🤣🤣
Learning languages at school is a scam
rakusko33 In the US at least. Other countries do a better job of teaching second languages than we do (plus American students usually don't take it seriously either)
Kinda. Not really, tho.
Schools are leftovers from times when you couldn't effortlessly lookup any languages dictionary, video chat with people native in the language you're learning, and browse media in other languages with a click to immerse yourself.
It still works, but it's kind of the snail mail version of what we have now. Also, some people don't have the personality to do what Xiaoma does.
I learned a language in college. It's much better than high school / elementary because there are actually high levels and people are choosing to take classes which means they care.
Kyleigh Caicedo cap, it depends on what school you go to, and your teachers, I learned Spanish in public school for years, but it didn’t really do anything, I got a new teacher, has him for o my two years, and I one abroad trip from being fluent
I'd like to say I speak decent French after taking it in middle and high school and even one semester in college. Sure, my accent isn't amazing, but I can make my way through a conversation and I can read it perfectly fine (listening is a different story lol). I think it completely depends on how serious you are about learning the language and the amount of effort you put into the class itself. And all of my teachers were really passionate about it so I guess that also helped, but I think it is completely possible to learn a language at school.
Te sale muy tierno el acento español
Te lo dice una que habla coreano inglés y español 💜💫
Y me enseño
Yo conocí una coreana que hablaba español porque su papá trabajó en Costa Rica
Yo hablo Español and English
Hablo espanõl, portugues y inglés (También estoy aprendiendo japonés, pero es complicado) T^T
xiaoma's probably learned more Spanish in 2 weeks than anyone did in high school
Gregor McAuslan Facts
it´s probably because 90% of those students dont even think about spanish outside of school. in places like where i live (california) it´s mandatory to learn a second language, so students automatically put spanish into something that they have to do, instead of something they want to do
Te entendi y eso que no hablo english xd
@@TheCulturedCapy lucky
@@diegopaul5265 usas lingq ,no habla español muy bien ,pero puede poco ahora, yo utilizo lingq para cincos días ahora a aprender español, lingq es lento pero bueno, lingq aprender tú como leer libros primero, lo siento mi español es mal,pero si tú quieres aprender inglés usas lingq mi amigo

Xiaoma: *mezclando los ingredientes del sartén con un cuchillo*
Yo: *llorando de tristeza y poniendo F en el chat para las cocineras en casa*
😭
Tip: NUNCA UTILIZES UN CUCHILLO PARA MEZCLAR EN UN SARTÉN. Utiliza una cuchara de plastico u madera ya que el cuchillo, raspa el teflón. Cuando el teflón se raspa, estas no solo añadiendo quimicos toxicos a tu comida sino dañando el sartén cuando quieras cocinar algo en el futuro.
No sé si recomendar usar una cuchara de *plástico* sea una buena idea🤣🤣 De todas formas casi ni tocó el fondo del sartén, mezcló muy por encima.
@@anaissj9797 ¡Muchas gracias por tu sugerencia! Lo tendré en mente.
LoL, aver, como hispanohablantes, no sientes como si todos los extranjeros tienen un acento un poco raro? Haber, es normal pero no te resulta extraño? Creo que con practica se puede arreglar pero no conozco a nadie que lo haya conseguido.
Peace & Love en España sarten tiene género femenino, no decimos el sarten sino la sarten
sin mencionar el pedazote de cascara de cebolla rondando por ahí.
I was very confused about the "signing" part because I also didn't know what reggaeton meant. Then you starting singing and I realized the subs were just misspelled xD
i knew what he meant pretty quick, but for a second i thought he knew sign language and was going to sign the lyrics somehow which got me super confused.
XIAOMA! I remember in one of your videos you said your name meant "little pony", well in Spanish you would be called CABALLITO! jajaja sigue practicando mi amigo :)
he speaks better Spanish then me and I’m a senior in HS and have been in spanish class since 7th grade
Yes his great at it
He learns very wisely and spends his time grinding it iut
Wow then you suck
that just shows how terrible school is
He is still at a super beginner level (he didn't even know what "frijoles" meant). You probably have a way bigger vocabulary. The one difference is he has spent most of his time practicing speaking and listening where you have probably done very little of this. An easy way to start practicing this is to try watching Spanish language videos everyday (search for easy videos at first).
Why can’t Nate be my languages teacher
Xd
All Blacks! Let's go!!
You stirring stuff with a knife actually made me cry. Whyyyyyyyy
No one:
Nobody at all:
Xiaoma: *stirs veggies with a knife*
latin grandma became super mad about this.
Your spanish is really coming along!! I'm so impressed! Your accent is also better than a lot of gringos from my spanish classes in high school and college
Necesitamos hablar en español aquí en la sección de comentarios.
Si dice eso
@@dncovjsbeicj Correcto.
@@dncovjsbeicj sí
Peace & Love claro que si, yo necesito practicar jaja 😂
Chicos, recién descargué la aplicación Tandem que de hecho Xioma ha recomendado y es bastante buena. Estos vídeos me han inspirado un montón. Quiero seguir mejorando el Inglés y el italiano y ahora aprendiendo un poco de chino
Saludos.
Xiaoma, Ive been watching your vids for a while now and dont speak a word of Chinese. I do speak a little spanish and am so happy you are learning this beautiful language. I can relate and connect and enjoy and practice so much more now. Before it was sheer enjoyment from the entertainment. Now I can practice while watching your vids. Could not be happier! Keep up the spanish content! Speaking Chinese and Spanish and English means you can talk to a huge part of the global population. It really makes you vastly more accessible.
Anyone noticed that he lost weight since he isn't in Chinatown anymore? 😳😳😳
Nussbaum123YT Xiaoma always has that cake
He lives in Chinatown lol
my dude had a phat ass 😂
@@The.ShelbyExperience 😐 sus
Okay, the BT21 shirt though. Nice! xD
I’m really starting to dig these speak a language for 24hr challenges. Think I’m going try it in one of my upcoming videos! Great video amigo 😎👍
as spanish is my first language, this is very entertaining
WTH you left the onion skin in the pan that not good. It’s going to taste weird
También pone los pimientos sin cortar xd
Por lo menos no son tóxicos ... Lo quiero mucho !!!
@@donacatanguma Un error lo tiene cualquiera...
Es solo un poco de eso, no es si horrible
honestly was looking for this comment lol
I can read Spanish and write it, but I stink at speaking it.
You are really good for just learning. Wow!
Elizabeth Sulliman he learns so fast
Watching him stir with the knife was making me sweaty lol
Try going to Omegle and have the interests like "Spanish" , "learn spanish", "spanish practice" or simply "xiaomanyc" for us fans to talk to you :))
pls like this haha
Your spanish has bettered significantly since you started
@@jonaniz6625 bettered is also correct grammar in English. English is a strange language.
Bro Xia I have found your channel recently and have become MEZMORIZED each and every video, past and present. I am 1 language able. You videos entice and INSPIRE me. Thank YOU for your efforts and videos bud. Love from Midwest WI.
No hablo espanol (yes u can correct my wrongness)
My mans is gonna be so committed he finna be deported next week.
This is frickin’ hilarious!! I TOTALLY LOVE the way you’re putting yourself out there in this challenge of yours! It really shows how much fun you’re having. I’m also learning Spanish at the moment, although not in your pace. Keep it up, man... keep it up!
Nate's Adventures, you seem to have a blast teaching Xiaoma, for sure.
Me gustaría mucho ver a Xioma tratando de hablar con alguien que habla portugués de forma nativa en algún momento, ya que muchos de nosotros aquí en Brasil usamos una mezcla de portugués y español cuando visitamos un país vecino y somos capaces de comunicarnos sin mayores problemas. Me pregunto si Xioma ya ha llegado a este punto de comprensión.
don't speak spanish, but because i speak a few other languages, i can safely say that this is not a beginners level at all but higher, the way you easily picked up the accent is beyond me incredible just incredible
This gives me so much hope. PLEASE keep this up and going. There's so much to learn.
My wife and I enjoy your language videos. Between the various Chinese dialects and now the Spanish language experiment. My wife is language teacher, Spanish - Castillian, and we both like how positive you are in the videos. Remember there is no single languahe Español, hay muchas linguas de España. Standard Spanish is called Castellano just like standard Chinese is Mandarin. But there is Catalán (Cataluña - Barcelona) and Gallego (Galicia - Vigo) wich are distinctly separate Romance Languages, Euskara in the Basque country, plus multiple regional variations within Spain, Mexico, South America etc. Most people in North America just call it Spanish, but you are learning Castellano. Good luck and we enjoy the channel.
Lol funny how he added the onion skin as well 😂
Asalamualaikum
@@haseebibnwaseemp6307 peace be with you as well brother
Good one! I’m learning Spanish at the present time too. Been working on it two hours a day for the last five weeks. Making slow progress.
Pues no se rinda, a seguir practicando...
Paso por paso, no importa la velocidad de aprendizaje.
I discovered you through TikTok, glad I did. You're amazing
Hhah I've never seen someone cooking the outside of an onion 😂
AW I REALLY LIKE NATE! He’s so sweet and seems extremely nice, you guys are so great as friends!
I hope him & Nate become real friends and meet in person.
It’s amazing how I took 5 years of Spanish between middle and high school, it’s now been 7 years since I graduated, and I still have pretty fair basic understanding of many Spanish words and phrases. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the language and still hope to learn more (and I am thanks to you XiaoMa). ❤️
Tu español es el más cómico que he visto en mucho tiempo 😂😂
Felicitaciones Xiaoma! Tu español suena muy bien por el poco tiempo que llevas aprendiéndolo.
Te doy dos consejitos para mejorar tu pronunciación, y creo que con eso ya sonarías muchísimo mejor:
- Practica la pronunciación de las vocales (th-cam.com/video/95irjpn7CtM/w-d-xo.html)
- Practica la pronunciación de la "r" y la "rr" (th-cam.com/video/FEkXFPLdUJQ/w-d-xo.html)
Creo que con eso es suficiente, porque es el gran problema que tienen los angloparlantes al momento de hablar español.
Mucha suerte!
Que Chico tán valiente,a muchos nos dan mucho miedo las críticas , sigue así y pronto hablaras fluido el español.
I have been learning Spanish for 3 years and your Spanish is soo much better. Even though this video was made as a joke it’s really good
Love the Spanish videos!! Feliz Cinco De Mayo!
Inicie a seguirte porque me pareció curioso un estadounidense hablando chino , y justo ahora quieres aprender español jajaja lo estás haciendo bien sigue así
Not everyone who speaks Spanish is Mexican, just so you know.
Para la mayoria de norteamericanos como siempre ven mexicanos y tal pues se piensan que solo lo hablan ahi y en sudamerica xD
@@bnz8367 y para los asiáticos en gral, los que hablan español son de España. De América del Sur conocen poco y nada 😅
Exacto
En España hablamos Castellano.
@@bnz8367 A huevo
I'll continue my Spanish lesson. I understand most of the sentence.
Try south american spanish, it's a whole different language with the expressions and things we say
"Probá español de america latina, es un idioma completamente nuevos por las expresiones y cosas que decimos"
I don't think the language itself is very different. Only the occasional use of different pronouns like "vos" or "vosotros". Obviously the expressions are a whole different thing.
@@nicolaspalacios4189 Se dice "vos", pero no "vosotros", sino "ustedes"

I LOVE YOU FOR INFORMING OF IT
4:18 ¡Me mori de risa cuando sacó el gengibre! Gengibre = ginger
It’s so funny seeing english people speak spanish!!
And you are doing very well! Trust me, I’m española.
Hey Xiaoma, if you want to learn to speak Spanish you should try learning pop music in Spanish because reggaeton is the worst s*** ever! I'm a guatemalan dude.
You are so fun to watch! I know that Spanish its super difficult so respect to you!! keep up the good work Xiaoma!
🇪🇦 Tienes esto desde el primer día. ¡Eres una gran estrella y puedes realizar cualquier deseo que quieras! Bendiciones para ti Xiaoma y para todas aquellas personas que están alcanzando sus objetivos. Sigue brillando.

Estoy alucinando con como aprendes el idioma. Me gustaría preguntarte qué método sigues para aprender idiomas con tanta facilidad. Enhorabuena porque en dos meses, con ese progreso, dominarás perfectamente el idioma.
¿Sólo te centras en el idioma hablado? Quiero decir, ¿atiendes a la escritura?

My first language is spanish and u learned more than the vocabulary i know!! Good job
you should hold a zoom with people who know Spanish or are learning Spanish. It could be helpful and fun.
I can gladly help you with your Spanish. You seem to be a really cool guy my friend!!!
Wow you're learning very hard!!! Keep up the good work man
LOVE how his friend showed him Ivy Queen! The OG la caballota la diva la potra!
Xiaoma: the kind of guy to mix food with a knife 3:38
I am wondering, he should of used a wooden spoon or a spatula.
Of course not a plastic spatula.
That made me cringe so bad... He's scratching the bottom of the pan up! 😭

Sí, tu puede! Me siento muy inspirada por tus videos. Yo quiero algo similar en chino!
You're amazing! You've inspired me to learn Spanish, too 🤩
Aay la machinas!!! 😹
What you say when you're frustrated!
Muy bien XIAOMA, ¡sigo tu canal y lo disfruto mucho!
Soy Brasileiro, si quieres aprender portugués, ¡házmelo saber!
Good luck ! Your pronunciation is already pretty good . I am in shock because I've heard many non-native speakers speaking Spanish and it is easy to tell that it is not their first language due to the way the pronounce . But you are doing a really good job ! Keep working hard I know you will be able to speak it fluently in a couple of weeks. Greetings from Chile 😊 luv ur videos !!!!
Wow, it's crazy how you learned some much Spanish already!! So much determination. Keep up the great work.
Lol this si so impresive you have a really good pronunciation:)
I’m a mexican trying to learn chinese.... and I love your videos!!!
Dude mad props man you got me wanting to work on my Spanish
He is really funny, you are great speaking spanish ,I love your videos, following u from Peru
Jajaj no aprenderás español con regueton y mamá mía no decimos en latinoamerica. Igual mis más grandes respetos para ti, eres un genio. Fantásticos videos!!!
Tu español ha mejorado mucho! Saludos desde Perú!
Felicitaciones, he seguido tus videos de español y es increíble tu progreso.
Sigue adelante!
Bro your Spanish is better than mine 😂 glad to see your having fun with it 🤙
I've found your channel occasionally, that was just a magical recommendation by TH-cam. I've subscribed straight away!! Because I'm learning Spanish too. You've seized my russian heart ♥ 🇷🇺
learning basic words and terms in spanish is actually the easiest part in learning spanish.
It's spanish grammar and sentencing that is the hardest thing to learn, kind of like the english language, but with terms compacted into words.
Excelente avance Xioma!!! en menos de un mes creo que tendrás este reto superado!!
Desde España, enhorabuena por rapidez en aprender y utilizar el idioma.
Es normal, que haya muchos pequeños errores, pero se entiende de maravilla.
Mucho ánimo para seguir aprendiendo.
Un saludo.
New editing style? I dig it.
The simple fact that i could understand everything you said made me proud of you! :) soy de Perú 🇵🇪 no pares con el castellano. :) sigue así causita
That was fun! I like that you and Nate are such good friends now - look forward to seeing more video a with the two of you
A small correction: at 1:56 you were gonna say "A la mañana comen", and then changed it to "están comiendo". The first one, "comen" was the wrigth one, similar to the English: "eat", instead of "are eating" when talking about habits. Keep it up.
Hablas bastante bien el Español, para llevar tan poco tiempo, salvo por ahi algunos problemas con el género de las cosas (pero eso es difícil) así que muy bkn cómo vas. Muchos saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
I love how dramatic you make your Spanish sound. with the hand gestures and the "Oraleeee" cholo demeanor XD
Keep it up Amigo, you've got a talent for languages that doesn't really come easy to everyone.
