Yeah, that was touching. I feel like Haitians have a very strong sense of community. There was a time in my life when things got tough and I had to live in an old broken down RV in a trailer park for a couple years. I often didn’t have enough to eat. The trailer next to me was occupied by a Haitian man and his mother. The mother would check on me Every Single Night and bring me food if I hadn’t eaten, and it’s not like she was doing great financially. She was the biggest blessing during the hardest time of my life.
I've heard a story before somewhere, and the guy said something very similar in his broken English after doing an act of kindness: "Today you, tomorrow me". Same message.
Gave me a smile too! I'm working with mexicans trying to learn french and I'm trying to learn spanish. We often switch to english for convenience (They are all either "Spanish-french"(2) or "Spanish-english"(6).) We say that to each other EVERY DAY. They tell me to stop talking english and go french or I tell them to stop talking english and go spanish. It's a lot of fun!
@@tinyybiceps Not being worried about making mistake is very important. To learn, you gotta talk! Make all the mistake in the world, as long as you're trying to improve. If I may ask how many languages do you speak, and|or would like to speak?
@@todalio9238 I need to learn Spanish!! I work as a regional business development sales manager for construction, and I drive all over the city in my state of Texas, and most of the guys on the sites are Mexican! I want to learn so bad, (I was even raised almost my whole life by a Mexican, my ex step dad, and barely know any Spanish!) when I meet these guys, I try to listen and speak some Spanish words to them, and they help me, but i just don’t know the fastest way to learn or remember the words! Any advice?
Loved that part. Also kind of impressive by Xiaoma that he realised she said sleeping. Honestly shows that he does more than JUST learning prepared sentences
@@Fluxje A lot of it also comes down to recognizing latin roots, like in this case "dorm-" relates to "sleep/rest" in a lot of languages. Language is awesome!
@@buildintotrains exactly. Plus it sounds almost the same in French and in Creole so I’m not surprised at all Xiaoma would pick up on that considering the latin roots as you said.
At 4:15 what she refers to as "Haitian spice mix" are actually seasoning blocks that are commonly used to make traditional foods in Haiti, Dominican Republic, and presumably other Caribbean countries. It's not a Haitian product but what she means is that it is an important part of Haitian household cuisine
I loved that she asked if he was practicing Creole today? (in Creole) when he asked if she spoke English to clarify his understanding of what she said. She didn't let him revert back to English and kept him in her native tongue. She was awesome that was cool to work him like a good teacher would.
You’re right that other Caribbean countries use this. In Puerto Rico, we have cubitos de jamón o pollo or others (little cube of ham or chicken). Cubes of spices that can be directly added to dishes like soups or pan fries.
I want to shop at that store where they hooked him up and taught him all about Haitian food. Those are some world class people who know service, clearly.
You have such a gift, to not only connect with cultures over food, but language as well. Language has to be the number one barrier of comfort when interacting with people from other cultures, and your ability to break down that barrier is superhuman!
I teach people how to drive semi truck most of my students are Haitian and i learned creole working here, to be able to teach better for them and it been rewarded with love and just good vibes always.
As someone who speaks a decent amount myself, your Haitian Creole does sound good. You should keep it up, as it’s a relatively simply language and could open up a whole world of new connections for you. I must say I am surprised at how much you learned in such a short amount of time though. Wish my brain was that cooperative. Also almost cried when that lady bought you groceries and then the little speech that dude gave you about needing someone. And then giving her the $50. Ugh so wholesome. Also my Haitian friends speak so many languages. Most know English, creole, French and Spanish. Its crazy to me because a lot self-taught because they couldn’t afford school and yet they did an amazing job. Meanwhile I can only speak English and a “decent” amount of creole lol.
You might not know this but there are many Haitians who look like you. Nice that you finally visited little Haiti. It's really one of the easiest languages to learn. Poto'w byen.
Love your videos. I'm learning Chinese at the moment and you're an inspiration. How about a funny "out-takes" compilation video with the times that you've been misunderstood, or said things wrong. You can't speak all these languages and not get things wrong occasionally. Come on! Prove you're human! :)
Watch "Mutiny on the Bounty". They were attempting to bring Breadfruit back from Tahiti to the Jamaica/Haiti tropical Islands to grow it closer to England. It didn't grow well in Europe. That is why Jamaican and Haitian people eat them so much.
Ugh! I don't even eat meat & all that food looked so good! But did I hear Xiaoma correctly when he said he's not getting alot of sleep when he was buying that tea because of his new baby?👶🏻👶🏻 Did anyone else know he has a new little one?🤷🏽♀️
@4:15ish, that woman didn't let you use English, she kept it in Creole and helped you work it out like a good teacher may. She was awesome @6:30 The thought occurred to me that you would. Then you did, of course you did. You were awesome. Nothing like an act of Largesse so you repeat come the end. One of your best videos to date for me.
He does love to eat. That's another reason to learn different languages besides taking the time to bond with locals and people around the world. I love that he supports so many different communities.
English thrown in the mix, when, some decided it should, you know ... XD I'm main french, 2nd english learning spanish, and I understood around half of the conversation, just from that. Some words are just pronounciation difference, like "poisson" (fish) "Merci beaucoup" (thanks a lot) .. .etc
3:14 do they actually say "Dinero" in Creole? i was so surprise hearing Xiaoma saying "money" in spanish (or creole, but spanish for me) when most of what i heard was french
Wow! Your creole is better than some kids with Haitian parents :-D Please do another one in creole and keep practicing, you're doing great. I'm glad you went into Little Haiti also. Love it.
You really inspire me, but setting my expectation to becoming your level will only make me want to quit learning languages all together, so I decided to take it my own pace. But thanks for this really motivating channel! Without you, I wouldn't have thought it was possible to learn another language!!!
Couronne "fruit champagne" is colloquially known as "Gran Manje." Thanks for making this video. The people of Haiti are awesome and Kreyòl is a wonderful language. Viv Ayiti
2:49 "très bon!" ... I knew that the Creole language was French-based but I had no idea it could be *that* identical at times! And "merci", "dormir", "oui", "combien?" etc... all French but perhaps a different accent.
Oh man, I kinda was expecting to see you in Haitian territory, but still good! Living in a country neighbor to Haiti (DR) I hear creole every now and then, almost every day. But sadly, I've never been able to pick on it. I should really try to learn at least half of it, but that facility of learning languages is not as sharp as before, or simply not there anymore. There's so many languages that I wanna learn, but so much difficulty.
hi xiaoma. its so cool to watch that you started learning creole. I started to learn this when I was 9 years old and I personally believe that it is one of the most prettiest languages on earth. Very cool dude. keep it up
If you want to watch a great film about the breadfruit watch The Bounty. It is about Captain Bligh and Fletcher Christians voyage and the mutiny. Epic.
When you see people commenting (on other videos) about the world falling apart etc, tey should watch videos like this and they will realise that the world is full of good people. They are the majority in the world.
As a québécois (French Canadian) I am always amazed at how close the words that are the same in French and in Creole sound like they are said in a québécois accent to me. You can totally hear the old French link between them, and how France now pronounces things differently. It's "moé" or "mwé", not "moi" 😂 Makes me want to learn to speak it to see what's different and what's almost the same. They're a huge Haitian community in Montreal too, so I really have no excuses 😅
As a Haitian of pure French ancestry, I just love everything Francophilia. And, have a firm love and appreciation for our language, our culture and our community. 🇭🇹🇨🇦🇫🇷🌐
As somebody who is learning french, I could understand a good amount of what you guys were talking about and that was really cool, never know creole was so close to french :)
A very good friend of mine is Portuguese, I swear I never looked up where the dialect ever came from but now it makes sense that I somewhat had an idea after listening to you and I had to Google it to confirm the origin of Creole.
Lmao at the dude who just taught him like 4 cusses in a row! Thats one thing I remember growing up in Brooklyn. Being with all my friends in school teaching each other how to curse in our cultures language.
@1:17 I got all excited watching this video while using my raycon earbuds. No lie🤣🤣🤣 I actually accidentally washed them in the washer, put them in rice for 3 days...and they still work!!!
Man I’ve been following your channel for a while now and I couldn’t really relate to any language but this video hits different I don’t speak Haitian Creole but it’s super close to French and your pronunciation is amazing! Now I know what it feels like haha
@@PolntBlank Yes. Haitians are considered genetically African. As a race in the United States, they are considered part of the African American demographic .
I love the lady at the outdoor market. "Do you speak English?" *_"No, you are practicing Creole today"_* like "nah, you made this decision now stick with it, bucko" 😂
I'm Filipino American and grew up with a lot of Haitians. I was always invited to their family dinners and cookouts. They take you in like that. Lovely people.
I would say Filipinos are just the same. Perhaps it is because both our nations share hard comings and very similar immigrant mentality in North America. This is from a Haitian Canadian with his Filipino Canadian wife.
It’s funny you’re mentioning that ! I’m garish and one of my good boy is Filipino and he always invites me to family events and gatherings haha his family so chill . ☝️🙏🏾
It's not that he WANTS to eat so much, it's just that's the easiest way to find common ground, sharing culture through language and food :) Also food is delicious.
i’ve never actually heard anyone speak haitian creole before, it’s so cool how similar to french it is! i mean ofc i knew that it came from french, but i didn’t realize how many words i’d be able to understand. the grammar is definitely different, but a lot of it just sounds like accented french (it’s definitely easier for me to understand spoken out loud than seeing it written, which is kinda odd because it’s the other way round with standard french, but since the pronunciation is much closer to french than the writing it does make sense)
I would also add that although he did phenomenally, he mixed a lot of french words and french pronunciation in with it. For example he said "besoin" where in Creole it's "bezwen"
@@Graad if i would consider it french he had some accent for me, he spoke some words more like spanish, like "bien" or "parce-que" but french is not my main language. but since its not french maybe its how in creole those things are spoken. but i would say i understood 65-70% of it. but my french on the other hand is also a bit rusty, havent really used it in over 15 years.
@@grasgruen84 Yeah he has an accent but not a strong one. I am from the french speaking side in Belgium and I could understand easily many of the french words he spoke. :)
I have like low level conversational french two years highschool two years college only person that speaks it in my very small city so I go to vrchat to practice and I agree with you French for some reason is much harder for me to understand spoken than it is written.
I actually live a few blocks away from the bakery. Right next to the bakery is a nice Haitian owned cafe called Aunt et Uncles. If you’re back in the area I recommend it
Sorry to disappoint everyone but Aunts et Uncles is NOT Haitian. I literally just confirmed it with them. I knew if they were Haitian I would’ve known this by now lol
You mean creole? If you’re not going to respect the name of the language don’t f*cking talk about it. You must sound real stupid when you ask people “Do you speak Haitian?”

If you know how to speak French, you can learn Haitian Kreyol pretty quickly
I loved the Jamaican lady at the end, so grateful for the tip she forced healthy breadfruit on you and plenty blessings
I was going to say the same thing. What a precious person. Anyone would be proud to have her as their Aunty.
@@electronixTech absolutely. Breadfruit is horrible though
@@TheZombie001 breadfuit fye you buggin
Jerk chicken??? Xiaoma’s voice lit up quick when he heard and smelled that chicken!
Bro thts best when they be looking out for you like if u was family after talking with good vibes always go back to spots like tht
i’ve never actually heard anyone speak haitian creole before, it’s so cool how similar to french it is! i mean ofc i knew that it came from french, but i didn’t realize how many words i’d be able to understand. the grammar is definitely different, but a lot of it just sounds like accented french
(it’s definitely easier for me to understand spoken out loud than seeing it written, which is kinda odd because it’s the other way round with standard french, but since the pronunciation is much closer to french than the writing it does make sense)
I was thinking the same !
And I would add that I didn't hear a strong french accent from Xiaoma, the french words were very natural.
I would also add that although he did phenomenally, he mixed a lot of french words and french pronunciation in with it. For example he said "besoin" where in Creole it's "bezwen"
@@Graad if i would consider it french he had some accent for me, he spoke some words more like spanish, like "bien" or "parce-que" but french is not my main language. but since its not french maybe its how in creole those things are spoken. but i would say i understood 65-70% of it. but my french on the other hand is also a bit rusty, havent really used it in over 15 years.
@@grasgruen84 Yeah he has an accent but not a strong one. I am from the french speaking side in Belgium and I could understand easily many of the french words he spoke. :)
I have like low level conversational french two years highschool two years college only person that speaks it in my very small city so I go to vrchat to practice and I agree with you French for some reason is much harder for me to understand spoken than it is written.
Haha I’m happy you visited my hometown bro !
Frankie we need another Chinese video bro. In the hood lol. Get dat money my bruh.
flatbush represent
Bro why does it sound like french?
@@random_youtube_user afaik, haiti was a france colony back then
@@rhealize ty for the info
4:43 That lady is amazing."No, you are practicing Creole today!"
I actually live a few blocks away from the bakery. Right next to the bakery is a nice Haitian owned cafe called Aunt et Uncles. If you’re back in the area I recommend it
He walked right by it 9:17
@@cadillacflathead988 yeah I saw lol
+@@cadillacflathead988 Holyshit nice eye
Wait it’s Haitian owned???? I’ve been going there forever how did I not know this?
Sorry to disappoint everyone but Aunts et Uncles is NOT Haitian. I literally just confirmed it with them. I knew if they were Haitian I would’ve known this by now lol
I like "one love" guy. You gotta meet him more often and just have Creole conversations.
T
I second this i wosh he was my friend
Same!
Oh hell ya 🇭🇹
the way he said "let me hook you up brother" warmed my heart!
The store with the free water, and then giving them the $50 was so wholesome!!
6:48 my favorite part is his “slot machine jackpot 🎰 sound effect” when he gives her the $50 to keep and her eyes bug out 😂🤣
@@Syclone0044 I looked for this comment 😅
@@Nova_J hahahaha there’s a second one like 2 minutes later also!!
@@Nova_J I want someone to make a compilation highlight reel of all the times he’s used that sound effect!!
@@Syclone0044 that would be funny 😅😅
I love how the Jamaican lady smiled when he realized she didn’t speak Haitian and swapped to Jamaican Patois
That meant a lot to her, and I could feel that smile through the screen. Beautiful.
You mean creole? If you’re not going to respect the name of the language don’t f*cking talk about it. You must sound real stupid when you ask people “Do you speak Haitian?”
Haitian is not a language, people in Haiti speaks creole not “ Haitian “
Well many types of creole exist so calling it Haitian could be a shortcut
@@laiden1359 the f*ck, creole is creole,if you’re that dumb to need a shortcut just don’t talk about it.
