Hey dude. I find you absolutely amazing, and your videos are so cool. I am a private tutor in the UK. Many of my private students speak either Tamil or Urdu. Have you considered offering these language courses, and/or would you recommend the best place to learn these languages? I would so love to visit India and/or Pakistan in the future and speak with natives.
The reason why Xiaoma gets so far in his conversations is cause he’s respectful and not afraid to embarrass himself. If you don’t have the shame of being wrong in front of strangers then you can totally do this. Definitely a necessary quality for a second-language learner.
You are %1000 correct! My fluent language is English but I know Spanish also but I'm to nervous most of the time to speak it in front of my bfs family ect due to being embarrassed then corrected... I've got to defeat that fear and break that comfort zone !
@@bigoof929 omg yesss. Once we do it a couple times I think it will be way more easier. My bf has corrected me when I start to speak it then I get low key embarrassed and won't do it again.but I'm also super happy on the inside that he did correct me now I know how to say certain things properly
@@Indica.Enthusiast most of them are common Indian .Telugu food are much more but these can get rid of your home sick feeling and most of India accepts it.
I think it’s such a great sign of respect when you speak in the native language of the restaurant you go to. Of course most people will have a positive reaction to your patronage. Wonderful channel!
I've known of his channel for a while and he is excellent at learning languages, however, he is at a massive advantage living in NYC where MANY of the residents are 1st-2nd-3rd generation immigrants who still speak their native language regularly at home and in friend groups. Id personally love to learn some French, but I live in a rural area where nobody speaks anything but English unless you go to the local Chinese restaurant or see the migrant farm workers who are living here on visa. Being able to regularly immerse yourself in the language with others allows you to practice genuinely instead of just repeating it on a language course.
@@kylelyons1939 I don't think he has practiced Telegu with any native speakers before this video though. You can learn a lot online and join online discussion training groups for many languages
Hearing my dad's native tongue was awesome. Lost him in 2009. He came here to the U.S. when he was 18, and lost the ability to speak it. Thanks for making me smile. Rest in peace dad...
Speaking the locals’ native dialect/language speaks volumes about how you truly respect their cultures and traditions. Kudos to this man for doing his best effort in continuing to make huge differences in other peoples’ lives.
@@youtubeuser206 wow such an awful person. He decided to make money off of something that he spends hours upon hours upon, every day, not only studying but also filming and editing. Unbelievable to try that in a country where capitalism is king.
The restaurant owner at the end was so delighted to have you in his restaurant. Learning new languages really do allow for nuances of specific languages...and also it shows Xioma is respectful of cultures
dude could've just stopped at speaking chinese and getting their reactions but took it upon himself to expand his dialect. Much respect and you deserve every bit of recognition you earned.
He needs to expand his videos though. If he keeps on doing the same content people will get bored. Learning different languages helps his channel grow and getting new subscribers.
@@ryuno2097 Wrong. Just wrong. Doing what people are expecting is the best way to stay relevant in todays youtube economy. Especially when your one trick is incredibly impressive, like learning to speak languages and having good interactions.
Crazy that these folks will lose money and make u feel like family just for learning their language but we tell people to “learn english” or speak better. And then when they do, they are just another person. I love this channel. New subscriber
Such a good point! "Learn English! You're in OUR country!" Yet you think of all the countries Americans go as tourists, and expect everyone to speak their language. And mostly, these people they disdain DO.
@@Janeoncameraif it makes you feel any better at all i for one really appreciate when any non native knows english, and i love other languages and im born in america
I really wish I didn't have such limited energy. I can barely function with my 36 hr a week job. If I want to learn something new that is complex, I have to take time off from work.
I love that even someone as smart as him, able to speak so many different languages and appreciate cultures, can still get stumped by pulling on a push handle
@@LucasVenda Yes and no. The trait is called general intelligence for a reason - it plays a part in being good at just about every kind of mental task (and some less purely mental ones like pitch discrimination and reaction time, though the latter correlation is small). The thing is, intelligence is a lot like having a computer built from high end parts. Fast processor, lots of RAM etc, but still the same hardware architecture as anyone else, so subject to all the bugs and shoddy construction human brains are built with. Where the Einstein stuff comes from is that you can't do anything with raw hardware - you need a program. Photoshop to edit images, code editors for programming, etc. And you can't just install things into a human brain, every human has to build their own software, which takes a lot of work. Smarter people can do the construction work faster, sometimes a lot faster, and can run more complicated programs, but at some point in building any skill the quick wins just dry up and all you're left with is work and practice. And what we invest that work and practice into depends a lot on our circumstances and our personality, what we'e naturally interested in. Einstein and Shakespeare were both smart, but one was obsessed with math and physics, the other in writing stories and acting, so that's what they ended up being truly amazing at. Einstein wasn't intelligent at physics, he was *skilled* in it. His intelligence was what let him learn it at all, most people just can't even if they use much more time than he did.
I got a little emotional when you showed the chili uttapam and mango lassi. It was my beautiful kind mothers favorite every time we went to a South Indian restaurant. We lost her six months ago. I love you and miss you Mom ❤️
I don't know a thing about you, but I can feel your pain almost as my own. Moms are our reference for the moral and Love north in our life. A big hug, pal.
bless you did you see the smile in that guy's eyes when Xiaoma told him how good the food from Hyderabad was? I was thinking, deep down, we feel the food from our parts, is our own mother's milk. So somehow, it's as if Xiaoma said, "I admire and respect your mom, and this makes us brothers my friend."
Learning a language takes a lot of effort. I think that's why it's so endearing to hear someone speaking your tongue. It's like they've dedicated a huge amount of their time, trying to be closer to something that is dear to you. It's the ultimate way to respect a culture
Honestly after being on tiktok and seeing so much politics and fighting and bullshit its so refreshing to just watch people connect and share so much love. Never thought I'd feel this way its genuinely so heart warming
Agreed but you can watch tik tok without all the bs too....just ignore the bs and find some nice content....its there just buried lol ....Love the youtube algorithm keeps feeding me these as i watch more....keeps the channel recommends more positive than negative :)
As a North Indian (Punjabi), living in America, I got big respect for you Xiaoma. You have shown the whole world how diverse of a country India really is. We are much more than just Hindi or Gujarati speakers, actually over 400 languages are spoken in India's 29 states. We are much more than just the Doctors and 7-11 owners and cab drivers America thinks we are. With your language knowledge now, you are good to travel anywhere throughout the country. I speak Hindi, some Punjabi and Spanish, in addition to English, and you have even shown me more about South India and Gujarat and Bengali than I had ever seen. And I hope everybody sees how just making a small effort to learn a few words in someone else's language gets them to open their heart to you and connect on a level that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. Keep showcasing the languages of the world ! There is no substitute for face to face communication in this world. And I hope you remember the languages still even after you're done making the videos for them!!
Can I ask you a question. When you say 400 languages. Are they dialects like English, Scottish and Irish or actual languages like english, Spanish and German and share just some similarities. Do you understand people from different parts of the India, or are they just similar. I hope it‘s not impolite to ask.
@@Ydgrasil No, they're actual different languages. Some things may be similar, but they are all different. A person from the North speaking his regional language won't understand at all a person from the South of India unless he has studied that language.
@@Ydgrasil They are complete different languages, so your example of English, German and Spanish is accurate. It would be like the different ethnic groups of Europe such as , Germans, Spanish, Italians, Albanians, Bosnians, Croatians, Serbians, Hungarians etc all living together in a single country who speak their own respective languages.
@@ksmooth2671 thanks for the answer. Very interesting. How does it work as a nation, you you have one as we in Germany call it „high language“ wich is a Version anyone understands or do you use English or some other shared language?
@@brownie3454 I didn’t even say that he was pronouncing it badly. I said that many sounds in Telugu are very hard for white people to pronounce, which is a fact. Just like how many sounds in African languages are hard for Telugu people to pronounce. Don’t jump to conclusions.
As a Brazilian who has visited and lived in many different countries across the globe and was blessed enough to spend 5 years in India, all I can say is that Indians are the best --Jai Hind!
When they give you free food it's because they are showing there appreciation for respecting & learning there culture. You didn't have to learn it you wanted to learn it. So it's admired and makes them feel good to see a place where they moved to and had to learn to get by in life here, but a person who was born and raised in the U.S showed interest and took the time to learn about there's. It's about respect and just giving a little love back by giving food. It's comfort. It's very sweet ♥️
This channel makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. This approach of learning other people's language is phenomenal. People just feel a different level of respect and IMO is quite an honor. Keep up speading such a lovely message.
Learning basic conversational skills in a language is actually much easier than you'd think. Becoming fluent is very hard but learning stuff like "what do you do, where are you from, blah blah" is pretty simple. Most of the time that's like the first thing you learn in any language. I study Japanese at college and the first things I ever learned were how to talk about myself and how to hold rudimentary conversation.
@@DracoFire3000 I'm a bilingual with Japanese and English (with Japanese roots on my mother's side), so good to know that you are learning Japanese! Good luck with the studies! I could speak German from high school and from my dad's German background, and somewhat could hold a rudimentary conversation, and picked up Korean while living and working in Japan a few years back since the sentence structure is same as Japanese. I don't know all languages in the world, but I do know Japanese and English sentence structures are different, and I'd probably expect some middle Eastern and African languages have different sentence structures. I think once we get a hang of most common language spoken in the region, I'd think anybody could learn various languages around them. But also, we need to have love of learning languages like Xiaoma 🙂
That chef's special plate, THEY HOOKED YOU UP! That looked amazing & the presentation was outstanding. What a nice gesture of appreciation for learning their language, I love it! If you ever come to Alaska, it would be cool to see you learn Yupik Eskimo! I'm Siberian Yupik but the two languages are similar in sharing words. Yupik is the most spoken language here for Alaskan natives. Come eat some Eskimo food! 😃
@@கோபிசுதாகர் My family is from St Lawrence Island Alaska & is about 50 miles across the Bering Sea to Russia.. and of course we know the United States bought Alaska from Russia.. They look very similar to us but I'm sure the languages are different just like all Native languages in Alaska are different and there are many...
I'm turkish and live in NYC and whenever I feel homesick and can't find turkish food I go to this telugu restaurant, their cuisine is so similar and also top notch 🇹🇷💖🇮🇳
@@gulserensmsk Oh that's so cool! I've always wanted to visit Turkey. I saw Kara Sevda and fell in love with the country haha. What brought you to NYC? Was it for your career?
Türkiye güzel bir ülke! Gerçekten gitmek istiyorum :) I learned Turkish in the first lockdown, I've forgotten most of it by now... Need to find Turkish friends to speak to again!
@@ca6248 girl what's stopping you! you're always welcome to visit haha, also damn that show is a heavy love story even for a turkish soap opera lol glad you love it, the older women back in Turkey are obsessed with these shows oh and btw yes I did move to NYC for my career I work as a hand model :)
The wholesome reactions and joy in people's face when you speak their language makes me smile so much! You are such a great guy and an absolute blessing!
I dont speak Telugu but it's clear how xiaoma struggles speaking the language and i respect him so much for that! Usually when I try to speak chinese, I get laughed at and it makes me self conscious. Xiaoma just doesnt care and tries hard
@@josejoseph8725 no telugu is the 4th most spoken language in india and why are you stopping others to learn a new indian language other then hindi? by the way its Telugu not telgu
In HS / early College I realized I had an affinity for language and always took to it quickly. Never majored in it or kept going with it (regrettably) but been obsessing over your videos over the past couple months. I felt a 'higher calling' and I'm now registering for Arabic classes. THANK YOU, you are inspiring and you inspire me.
As a Telugu speaker it is absolutely fascinating to see the thought process that goes into this brilliant guys mind! Keep up the great work man! Huge fan 😁
DUDE!! It is so cool to see how language brings people closer in your videos! You're bringing out the best in people and setting a great example for all of us. 🎩off
I generally follow Xiaoma for his Chinese videos as someone who loves to surprise others when I speak their language too (I can speak about 5 languages, 3 fluently) but I didn't expect to see my native language here. In the interest of improving your pronunciation - a general rule of thumb for Telugu is that we have very few hard T and D sounds, most of them are th and dh respectively. So Telugu is actually pronounced Thelugu (don't stress the h too much though). And Telugu is generally a relaxed language without many vocal tricks, so you should be able to learn it quickly. Good going and I look forward to you busting this language out whenever you need another hyderabadi biryani.
Living out of your home country must make one feel so vulnerable, especially when your native language is completely different. I can't imagine how legitimizing it must feel to have a native speak to you in your language. So pure to watch
@@malfaroangel3896 white is native to European countries. Native doesn’t mean any race or ethnicity, it means someone who was born in the land they live in. I’m native to Canada. That does not mean the same thing as being a Native in the ethnic sense, which is why we now refer to those people as indigenous. It might do you some good to think about what someone means instead of being rude and belittling them when YOU in fact are wrong.
@@malfaroangel3896 you know, the modern Japanese aren’t native to there land or other words, Modern day Japanese most of their ancestors aren’t native to Japan, there was already an indigenous group on the islands. Well we still acknowledge modern day Japanese as native to the land as they where born there, so why you think white people can’t be native to America if they were born there? (This an assumption, but maybe bc you thought modern day Japanese people and most of there ancestors where indigenous to islands)
So beautiful to see the Indian culture of generosity and appreciation for an American learning their language. You must have gone in when they just Opened as the restaurant was empty. Glad you could meet them when the restaurant was not busy.
as person who regularly speaks telugu, i am amazed how well you can speak it. i have friends who’s parents are telugu, yet they can’t speak as well as you do!!
the man clearly has a gift, but watch enough videos and you start to see the trick. he learns very common phrases, repeats a lot of words (not sure if that's intentional), then tries it out at a handful of restaurants. one of the most common phrases is "I've never been to _____ but I'd love to go." this is easy to memorize and delights anyone who hears it. I can't stop watching. bravo
I mean of course. Theres no way he could be super fluent in as many languages as he has tried. The reason it's so fascinating is because so few ppl actually have the balls to do it. We are all afraid of looking stupid.
You speaking so many languages is breaking so many illusionary walls between us people. It's a form of respect, a form of showing we're all the same, one and just being here together to enjoy the ride. We're all in this together. You're a inspiring person and I appreciate the dedication you have in putting out this quality content. Still interested in what gear you're using, haha! No worries, I know you receive a lot of comment. New subscriber here. much love.
Although I’m not Telugu or even close to being Indian I’ve been introduced to Hinduism from my school in which we learned all about the deities, Diwali, seven tenets, and vedas. This was very educational for me so thank you! Loved seeing that statue of Ganesha
@@Lucky-zo8is I’ve learned so much about Hinduism and how amazing it is. One of our projects was to even make our own mandir in which my I thought was the best in the class! But so much to learn about and I wish I could be involved in a festival because it all looked so fun.
Xiaoma I just have to say that in this day and age of complete NON-SENSE on youtube and people who make videos either half naked or doing stupid pranks, your videos are WHOLESOME AND REFRESHING. To see how people treat you and respect you for going out of your way to learn their languages is truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work.
My favorite thing about this channel is just seeing how happy everyone is when they realize someone took the time to learn their language. The people are always so proud and excited in a way
The barriers that are broken with language is wild. I live in and around a Hasidic neighborhood all my life (not Brooklyn.... Monroe NY) and I communicate with them and picked up their language, learned customs, their history, their traditions. With this they have been so generous, polite, kind with me its crazy. We all are so much alike its insane. We sing similar songs, teach children the same way, follow similar behaviors but a lot is different which is really cool and interesting. We are all human in all cultures is what its taught me. The human condition.
Never ceases to amaze me, how you are able to speak Telugu and many other languages and dialects. You respect their customs and culture. You also speak fluently in their language and can understand a person who is native to their country or location. I studied French all the way from middle school to college. Today, I can't speak a lick of French. It is super cool to see you pick up languages so quickly. I love your content and your videos. Thank you for sharing with us.
School language classes are outdated and notoriously inefficient for actual learning. Go find some French/ Quebecois/ West African people to hang out and do fun stuff with and your French will come right back to you! :D
The perks of learning new languages lol. But seriously, this man bridging gaps by learning languages always brings the best. It's nice to know a little more about Telugu and the culture surrounding it (food looking good for real).
Welcome to Hyderabad...the city of very friendly people and amazing food variety. It doesn't really matter if you speak Telugu in Hyderabad, people are soo chilled, they'd try their best to help you get where you want and what you want, you are accepted no matter where you come from, Living in Germany, i miss Hyderabad soo much.
As someone from Andhra Pradesh, I would give this a 8/10 simply because he Pronounces the language as TEL- ugu when it’s closer to sounding like thel - ugu. for a foreigner he understands the language but his pronunciation of a lot of the words could use some work and his accent could use some work too. But language teaching aside I definitely think it does a good job of representing India, good work.
I've been watching your channel for years. One thing I'd really like to point out is how supportive your wife is. It must be amazing to be able to have the freedom to go out and make these videos while she holds down the fort (I'm assuming). Hats off to her and thanks for bringing such good content to the world.
I don't like to talk about my time in the military only because alot of vets use it for sympathy, but what he's doing is such a massive sign of respect for these cultures. When I was in the U.S Army, I leaned quite a bit of Arabic and pashtu prior to my deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and the civilians from those places took it as a massive compliment when a U.S citizen took time out of his/her day to learn their culture. Well done man!
I’ve never found an Indian dish that I haven’t liked (though I don’t eat lamb or goat) and these look amazing! I have memories going back to maybe aged 4 or 5 and going to my mum’s friends’ Indian restaurant to eat, back when we lived in Hamburg, Germany. Unfortunately I have to limit things now because my lactose intolerance has gotten worse as I’ve gotten older😢.
Like the other commenter said. You can always ask for a neutral oil instead of Ghee and any milk will likely be coconut milk or can at least be substituted.
Hey I speak only a tiny bit of this language, I live in America but I’m Indian (Telugu). This video helped me converse with people more in Telugu because I’m not very fluent at all, but your confidence to be able to talk at a very beginner level to others really surprises me. I would be too embarrassed to even try. So I just want to congratulate you on attempting to learn this language, and to thank you on making me at least a bit more confident and willing to talk to people In Telugu
Being a person who is from Andhra Pradesh who speaks Telugu . This brings joy to me I shall show this to my mom too , she will be shocked and I know she will be watching this with biggest smile along with me
Dude u are so impressive. You make the world a small friendly place and you singlehandedly show that we the human race are good. So much negatively out there for nothing. You deserve all the good in your life. Sorry for telling u to man up over the plane thing. I sincerely apologise to you.
My neighbors speak Telugu and they want me to see if I can pick it up. Also in regards to the free food people from India tend to be extremely hospitable to guests. I walked into my daughter's friends house and they fed me till I wasn't hungry anymore 🤣. I would say I'm full "Oh are you sure because we have more for you." I left heavier than when I arrived and they were very pleasant to be around.
As a telugu speaker im very impressed with his ability to form sentences especially went the subject and adjective are sometimes filled in Telugu for example in English people will say "What is your name?" in Telugu (direct translation word for word) it "your name is what?"
Man, I love the bond that occurs when people find out that you're interested in learning how to communicate with them in their native language. I've worked alongside some great people that have even taught me a few things when they found out I was interested in learning more.
Having seen you speak other languages, I can't tell you how surprised I was to see my own language spoken by you! Like those in the video, I think I would be amazed and impressed if I saw someone outside my own ethnic group speaking my language! Listening to you in the video and reading the translations, I will say that some of it is off - a few pronunciations, grammer strucure, and the meaning of a few words/sentences you used - BUT, it is definitely understandable and to achieve even that level of mastery is incredible! I love that you're doing this. It brought a big smile to my face. I hope to see more!!
I love how you bridge cultures by earnestly learning their languages, but I ALSO love that you showcase my ’hood, intentionally or not, in every video! Peace.
im not sure how i even found your channel ages ago..but im so glad that i did. i love these videos. the respect you have and show is heartwarming. and seeing your face light up over food never gets old
Never thought I'd see the day you speak Telugu! This is incredible ur actually the best - I've been watching for 3 years now and it put such a smile on my face to see this thank you
As an aspiring polyglot I always come to this channel to remind myself that I need to go out and just try to speak the language. Gotta throw my self-consciousness and perfectionism out the window and just try. The patient and joyful responses and connections always remind me that people are less critical than I think they'll be.
You should start telling them that you learned multiple languages because of head trauma. A city bus hit you and when you woke up you were able to speak dozens of languages.

Also: intelligence in an specific field don't mean you're Einstein all across the board xD
@@LucasVenda Yes and no. The trait is called general intelligence for a reason - it plays a part in being good at just about every kind of mental task (and some less purely mental ones like pitch discrimination and reaction time, though the latter correlation is small). The thing is, intelligence is a lot like having a computer built from high end parts. Fast processor, lots of RAM etc, but still the same hardware architecture as anyone else, so subject to all the bugs and shoddy construction human brains are built with.
Where the Einstein stuff comes from is that you can't do anything with raw hardware - you need a program. Photoshop to edit images, code editors for programming, etc. And you can't just install things into a human brain, every human has to build their own software, which takes a lot of work. Smarter people can do the construction work faster, sometimes a lot faster, and can run more complicated programs, but at some point in building any skill the quick wins just dry up and all you're left with is work and practice.
And what we invest that work and practice into depends a lot on our circumstances and our personality, what we'e naturally interested in. Einstein and Shakespeare were both smart, but one was obsessed with math and physics, the other in writing stories and acting, so that's what they ended up being truly amazing at. Einstein wasn't intelligent at physics, he was *skilled* in it. His intelligence was what let him learn it at all, most people just can't even if they use much more time than he did.
@Komatic well said!
Happens to us all at some point we are but human. Still kinda funny awesome he kept it in the video too..
I got a little emotional when you showed the chili uttapam and mango lassi. It was my beautiful kind mothers favorite every time we went to a South Indian restaurant. We lost her six months ago. I love you and miss you Mom ❤️
I don't know a thing about you, but I can feel your pain almost as my own. Moms are our reference for the moral and Love north in our life. A big hug, pal.
I felt that one too… so sorry❤️.
You made me tear up. I know this feeling too well. Hugs.
bless you
did you see the smile in that guy's eyes when Xiaoma told him how good the food from Hyderabad was?
I was thinking, deep down, we feel the food from our parts, is our own mother's milk.
So somehow, it's as if Xiaoma said, "I admire and respect your mom, and this makes us brothers my friend."
@@alexjohnsonjordan1331 thank you so much.
This guy is literally built different! One day, man’s gonna speak every language in the world 😂
Yeah. That day isn't far.
Nah this man gonna create his own language bro and gonna teach the world about it
He’s getting there
😂 I bet he retires in some hidden Chinese village, speaking the hardest language on earth.
My man's gonna die of heart disease because everyone keeps stuffing him with food
Learning a language takes a lot of effort. I think that's why it's so endearing to hear someone speaking your tongue. It's like they've dedicated a huge amount of their time, trying to be closer to something that is dear to you. It's the ultimate way to respect a culture
Honestly after being on tiktok and seeing so much politics and fighting and bullshit its so refreshing to just watch people connect and share so much love. Never thought I'd feel this way its genuinely so heart warming
Agreed on all accounts
Agreed but you can watch tik tok without all the bs too....just ignore the bs and find some nice content....its there just buried lol ....Love the youtube algorithm keeps feeding me these as i watch more....keeps the channel recommends more positive than negative :)

@@NeverComplyEver yeah eric you should
As a North Indian (Punjabi), living in America, I got big respect for you Xiaoma. You have shown the whole world how diverse of a country India really is. We are much more than just Hindi or Gujarati speakers, actually over 400 languages are spoken in India's 29 states. We are much more than just the Doctors and 7-11 owners and cab drivers America thinks we are. With your language knowledge now, you are good to travel anywhere throughout the country. I speak Hindi, some Punjabi and Spanish, in addition to English, and you have even shown me more about South India and Gujarat and Bengali than I had ever seen. And I hope everybody sees how just making a small effort to learn a few words in someone else's language gets them to open their heart to you and connect on a level that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. Keep showcasing the languages of the world ! There is no substitute for face to face communication in this world. And I hope you remember the languages still even after you're done making the videos for them!!
Can I ask you a question. When you say 400 languages. Are they dialects like English, Scottish and Irish or actual languages like english, Spanish and German and share just some similarities. Do you understand people from different parts of the India, or are they just similar. I hope it‘s not impolite to ask.
@@Ydgrasil No, they're actual different languages. Some things may be similar, but they are all different. A person from the North speaking his regional language won't understand at all a person from the South of India unless he has studied that language.
@@Ydgrasil in many states there are small tribes that speaks different languages..India is most diverse country
@@Ydgrasil They are complete different languages, so your example of English, German and Spanish is accurate. It would be like the different ethnic groups of Europe such as , Germans, Spanish, Italians, Albanians, Bosnians, Croatians, Serbians, Hungarians etc all living together in a single country who speak their own respective languages.
@@ksmooth2671 thanks for the answer. Very interesting. How does it work as a nation, you you have one as we in Germany call it „high language“ wich is a Version anyone understands or do you use English or some other shared language?

When they give you free food it's because they are showing there appreciation for respecting & learning there culture. You didn't have to learn it you wanted to learn it. So it's admired and makes them feel good to see a place where they moved to and had to learn to get by in life here, but a person who was born and raised in the U.S showed interest and took the time to learn about there's. It's about respect and just giving a little love back by giving food. It's comfort. It's very sweet ♥️
Also he's giving these restaurants some publicity. You can't put a price on that.
This channel makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. This approach of learning other people's language is phenomenal. People just feel a different level of respect and IMO is quite an honor.
Keep up speading such a lovely message.
I can only envy you in ability to learn languages quick and converse with the people. Also love the humility that you have, Xiaoma!
Learning basic conversational skills in a language is actually much easier than you'd think. Becoming fluent is very hard but learning stuff like "what do you do, where are you from, blah blah" is pretty simple. Most of the time that's like the first thing you learn in any language. I study Japanese at college and the first things I ever learned were how to talk about myself and how to hold rudimentary conversation.
@@DracoFire3000 I'm a bilingual with Japanese and English (with Japanese roots on my mother's side), so good to know that you are learning Japanese! Good luck with the studies! I could speak German from high school and from my dad's German background, and somewhat could hold a rudimentary conversation, and picked up Korean while living and working in Japan a few years back since the sentence structure is same as Japanese. I don't know all languages in the world, but I do know Japanese and English sentence structures are different, and I'd probably expect some middle Eastern and African languages have different sentence structures. I think once we get a hang of most common language spoken in the region, I'd think anybody could learn various languages around them. But also, we need to have love of learning languages like Xiaoma 🙂
He just learns like 10 phrases and heads out lol. It isn't that hard to do. Cool concept though
Ayy I’m learning Japanese too! Learning on my own
@@high-defRJ えええ、そうか？いいね！確かに、日本語と韓国語はめっちゃ似ているだな。中国語はちょっと違うだから、東のアジアの語で一番難しいと思う。
That chef's special plate, THEY HOOKED YOU UP! That looked amazing & the presentation was outstanding. What a nice gesture of appreciation for learning their language, I love it! If you ever come to Alaska, it would be cool to see you learn Yupik Eskimo! I'm Siberian Yupik but the two languages are similar in sharing words. Yupik is the most spoken language here for Alaskan natives. Come eat some Eskimo food! 😃

欧美和国内的媒体、欧美影视的宣传导致很多亚洲人以为白种人中只有新欧洲人种，而不知道白种人中人口最多的是白种人老欧洲人种，其次是老欧洲人种混新欧洲人种，新欧洲人种仅占白种人总人口不高的比例
同样的，韩国韩流(Kpop)输出世界，导致世界各地的各种人种中都出现很多韩粉、韩流脑残粉。韩流的脑残粉因为韩国韩流的宣传，以为东亚地区只有东亚人种，而没有东南亚人种和北亚人种。
2.能出国的欧美人都是欧美国家的中上层，广大底层人民没有多少出国的经济条件(欧美发达国家的人的生活水平实际上和中国一二线城市几乎一样，不要被那些公知和公众号骗了)，这导致来中国留学及工作的白种人有很大比例是新欧洲人种
同样的，去欧美留学的中国留学生也都是中国的中上层，所以中国南方的留学生的颜值也比中国南方平均颜值高很多。南方长江流域的留学生中，东南亚人种占比为40%左右。比南方的东南亚人种占比低多了
3.事实上，“白种人身材都好，身高都高，腿都长，长得都好看，长得都立体"这种谬论仅在中国南方流传较广;中国北方地区的人、北方藏区(康巴藏区和安多藏区)藏族、西藏阿里地区藏族、甘肃河西走廊东段和中段地区的人、朝鲜半岛(韩国南部沿海地区除外)的人内部没有这种说法(这一点，这些群体心里都清楚)
究其原因:东南亚人种因为外表水平不行，而容易对东亚人种和白种人新欧洲人种产生跪舔的心理。这也就是为什么中国的韩国男团(代表了东亚人种尤其是标准东亚人种的形象)脑残粉(注:这里的用词是脑残粉，不是粉丝)、欧美明星的脑残粉(代表了白种人新欧洲人种的形象)、媚白女基本上都是东南亚人种或北亚人种。大家可以去关注一下这一情况
注:外表水平，包括颜值、身高，身材类型，头身比腿身比这五点
而如果一个地区的东南亚人种占到一定比例，这个地方的人又错误地认为白种人中只有新欧洲人种，就会带动这个地区的风气，使这个地区的风气变得媚白。中国南方和日本就是这种情况。(但东亚人种则不一样，比如，东亚人种女性有绝对的倾向与同是东亚人种的男性配对，绝对地更喜欢东亚人种自己的东西(韩国的韩流欧巴帅哥、中国小鲜肉帅哥、中国军队帅哥)，绝对没有媚白的情况，比如中国北方)
先说日本，
日本国内有50%的人口是东南亚人种与北亚人种混血形成的萨摩类型(Satsuma)(前面介绍过)，剩下的人则是东南亚人种的底子混入各种血统的人种。东亚人种的占比非常低
这导致日本女性崇洋媚外，媚白倒贴风气严重，媚外程度和东南亚国家处于同一水平。不用说西欧、美国的白种人，就连东欧、东南欧、西亚穷国的新欧洲人种的白人屌丝甚至是白种人老欧洲人种，在日本照样是异性待遇的洋大人，到处都有萨摩类型的日本女性倒贴。现在，韩国留学生在日本也是洋大人，韩国人留学生在日本的异性待遇和白种人新欧洲人种差不多的，在日本，韩流影响很大。
之前的日本社会调查，有60%的日本女性不想当日本人，想当外国人，因为外国人身高长相好，完爆自己
注:这里的外国人指白种人新欧洲人种。因为多数日本人没去过欧美，同时，日本人也是出了名的不喜欢出国，日本每年的出国留学的学生人数也很少。所以大多数日本人只见到过日本国内的白种人上层阶级游和工作者，所以认为白种人中只有新欧洲人种。
所以，所谓的“国家强大，人民就有自信”在主体人种不行的情况下就是假话。
世界各国的发展是靠上层和精英阶层，而日本的上层和精英阶层中，东亚人种比例较高(看看日本的一部分科学家们、一部分皇族成员、一部分首相一部分议会议员就知道)，而日本广大人民尤其是底层的主体人种是东南亚人种
日本发展成一个世界大国，全靠东亚人种上层，但对国家影响最大的是东南亚人种的广大人民日本成为-极度崇洋媚外的国家就是因为东南亚人种的广大人民。在这种主体人种不行的情况下，无论国家多么发达，社会风气仍然是媚外自卑的
再谈谈中国南方:
在前面，我提到了北方人平均颜值和出现帅哥美女的几率比南方高得多，这一点，我将在这里叙述中国北方地区的人、北方藏区(即康巴藏区、安多藏区、拉萨林芝山南除外的卫藏藏区)的藏族、甘肃河西走廊东段和中段地区里的地区的人(几个回民区除外)、河北北部两个角、内蒙古人(包括内蒙古汉族和东部蒙古族，中西部蒙古族除外):
主体人种，是标准东亚人种(占比为60%以上)。【标准东亚人种黄河流域类型(Huanghoid)混入部分北亚人种血统形成的东亚人种中东亚类型(Middle Sinid)】、【东亚人种混入东南亚人种血统形成的东亚人种长江流域类型】、【北亚人种混入东亚人种血统形成的满洲朝鲜类型二型(Manchu-KoreanI)】，三者加起来占比为30%。北亚人种占比只有10%。东南亚人种的占比几乎为0%
2.南方的长江流域地区北部的大城市核心区的人、江淮人:
主体人种是东南亚人种的几种类型(北部类型为主，中南部类型为辅)，其次是北亚人种，这些加起来占比为50%，其次是【东亚人种混入东南亚人种血统形成的东亚人种长江流域类型】，占比为20%。【北亚人种混入东亚人种血统形成的满洲朝鲜类型二型(Manchu-KoreanI)】占比为20%。标准东亚人种和标准东亚人种黄河流域类型(Huanghoid)混入部分北亚人种血统形成的【东亚人种中东亚类型(Middle Sinid)】加起来占比不到10%
3.南方的长江流域地区北部的大城市郊区和下属的县与农村、长江流域北部的多数小城市和下属的县与农村:主体人种是东南亚人种的几种类型(北部类型为主，中南部类型为辅)和北亚人种
4.南方的长江流域地区南部、华南地区:大部分人口都是东南亚人种(中南部类型最多，其次是北部类型)
(东南亚人的主体人种是东南亚人种的南部类型
你要分清楚人种区：
在欧洲-北非人种区，和东亚人种区的对应关系是：
第一类：
欧洲南部内部的南部地区-北非：意大利南部、西班牙南部、北非土著柏柏尔人等，对应的是中国内部的南方地区：广东、广西、云南汉区、贵州、湖南、江西、浙江南部、福建。当地人，颜值不行（短鼻阔面）、身材短粗、身高不高，面部扁平，鼻突度小。
（注：北非有很大一部分人口是中世纪从阿拉伯半岛北部迁过去的人，而不是土著。这部分人除外）
第二类：
欧洲南部内部的北部部分地区：意大利北部中部、西班牙北部中部、西班牙南部的部分地区、法国的部分地区等，对应的是中国的四川。当地人颜值不错（狭鼻狭面），身材苗条，但是身高不高，鼻突度介于第一类和第三类之间，面部不扁平但也不够立体（虽然脸窄，但是鼻突度不够大）。
第三类：
欧洲北部的北德人、瑞典人对应的是中国北方人。当地人，颜值高（狭鼻狭面），身高高，身材苗条，面部立体。
土耳其西部、希腊、中东北部地区（比如阿拉伯半岛北部的叙利亚、黎巴嫩）、南斯拉夫地区，对应的是中国北方人。
第三类人种区的人群代表着世界上外表水平最高的那一批。第四类：
欧洲中部的人、英国人，对应的是中国南方内部的北部地区（长江流域北部）、福建的一部分地区的人、内蒙古中西部的蒙古族（察哈尔蒙古人）、外蒙古人（喀尔喀蒙古人）。当地人身材粗，面部宽，面部扁平，鼻突度较高但不是第一阶梯的。身高较高，但不是第一阶梯的。
至于土耳其，不是欧洲-北非人种区的。而是中东-东南欧人种区的。
在中东-东南欧人种区中：
土耳其西部、希腊、中东北部地区（比如阿拉伯半岛北部的叙利亚、黎巴嫩）、南斯拉夫地区，对应的是中国北方人。
对应中国四川的，是阿拉伯半岛的红海中北部沿岸的细长条地区、北非地区的地中海沿岸的细长条地区中的部分地区。
对应中国南方内部的北部地区（长江流域北部）、福建的一部分地区的人、内蒙古中西部的蒙古族（察哈尔蒙古人）、外蒙古人（喀尔喀蒙古人）的，是中东中部（比如埃及人）、土耳其中部东部的人。
对应中国南方内部的南方地区（长江流域南部、华南地区）的，是中东南部的人（比如也门人）。

I generally follow Xiaoma for his Chinese videos as someone who loves to surprise others when I speak their language too (I can speak about 5 languages, 3 fluently) but I didn't expect to see my native language here.
In the interest of improving your pronunciation - a general rule of thumb for Telugu is that we have very few hard T and D sounds, most of them are th and dh respectively. So Telugu is actually pronounced Thelugu (don't stress the h too much though). And Telugu is generally a relaxed language without many vocal tricks, so you should be able to learn it quickly.
Good going and I look forward to you busting this language out whenever you need another hyderabadi biryani.

欧美和国内的媒体、欧美影视的宣传导致很多亚洲人以为白种人中只有新欧洲人种，而不知道白种人中人口最多的是白种人老欧洲人种，其次是老欧洲人种混新欧洲人种，新欧洲人种仅占白种人总人口不高的比例
同样的，韩国韩流(Kpop)输出世界，导致世界各地的各种人种中都出现很多韩粉、韩流脑残粉。韩流的脑残粉因为韩国韩流的宣传，以为东亚地区只有东亚人种，而没有东南亚人种和北亚人种。
2.能出国的欧美人都是欧美国家的中上层，广大底层人民没有多少出国的经济条件(欧美发达国家的人的生活水平实际上和中国一二线城市几乎一样，不要被那些公知和公众号骗了)，这导致来中国留学及工作的白种人有很大比例是新欧洲人种
同样的，去欧美留学的中国留学生也都是中国的中上层，所以中国南方的留学生的颜值也比中国南方平均颜值高很多。南方长江流域的留学生中，东南亚人种占比为40%左右。比南方的东南亚人种占比低多了
3.事实上，“白种人身材都好，身高都高，腿都长，长得都好看，长得都立体"这种谬论仅在中国南方流传较广;中国北方地区的人、北方藏区(康巴藏区和安多藏区)藏族、西藏阿里地区藏族、甘肃河西走廊东段和中段地区的人、朝鲜半岛(韩国南部沿海地区除外)的人内部没有这种说法(这一点，这些群体心里都清楚)
究其原因:东南亚人种因为外表水平不行，而容易对东亚人种和白种人新欧洲人种产生跪舔的心理。这也就是为什么中国的韩国男团(代表了东亚人种尤其是标准东亚人种的形象)脑残粉(注:这里的用词是脑残粉，不是粉丝)、欧美明星的脑残粉(代表了白种人新欧洲人种的形象)、媚白女基本上都是东南亚人种或北亚人种。大家可以去关注一下这一情况
注:外表水平，包括颜值、身高，身材类型，头身比腿身比这五点
而如果一个地区的东南亚人种占到一定比例，这个地方的人又错误地认为白种人中只有新欧洲人种，就会带动这个地区的风气，使这个地区的风气变得媚白。中国南方和日本就是这种情况。(但东亚人种则不一样，比如，东亚人种女性有绝对的倾向与同是东亚人种的男性配对，绝对地更喜欢东亚人种自己的东西(韩国的韩流欧巴帅哥、中国小鲜肉帅哥、中国军队帅哥)，绝对没有媚白的情况，比如中国北方)
先说日本，
日本国内有50%的人口是东南亚人种与北亚人种混血形成的萨摩类型(Satsuma)(前面介绍过)，剩下的人则是东南亚人种的底子混入各种血统的人种。东亚人种的占比非常低
这导致日本女性崇洋媚外，媚白倒贴风气严重，媚外程度和东南亚国家处于同一水平。不用说西欧、美国的白种人，就连东欧、东南欧、西亚穷国的新欧洲人种的白人屌丝甚至是白种人老欧洲人种，在日本照样是异性待遇的洋大人，到处都有萨摩类型的日本女性倒贴。现在，韩国留学生在日本也是洋大人，韩国人留学生在日本的异性待遇和白种人新欧洲人种差不多的，在日本，韩流影响很大。
之前的日本社会调查，有60%的日本女性不想当日本人，想当外国人，因为外国人身高长相好，完爆自己
注:这里的外国人指白种人新欧洲人种。因为多数日本人没去过欧美，同时，日本人也是出了名的不喜欢出国，日本每年的出国留学的学生人数也很少。所以大多数日本人只见到过日本国内的白种人上层阶级游和工作者，所以认为白种人中只有新欧洲人种。
所以，所谓的“国家强大，人民就有自信”在主体人种不行的情况下就是假话。
世界各国的发展是靠上层和精英阶层，而日本的上层和精英阶层中，东亚人种比例较高(看看日本的一部分科学家们、一部分皇族成员、一部分首相一部分议会议员就知道)，而日本广大人民尤其是底层的主体人种是东南亚人种
日本发展成一个世界大国，全靠东亚人种上层，但对国家影响最大的是东南亚人种的广大人民日本成为-极度崇洋媚外的国家就是因为东南亚人种的广大人民。在这种主体人种不行的情况下，无论国家多么发达，社会风气仍然是媚外自卑的
再谈谈中国南方:
在前面，我提到了北方人平均颜值和出现帅哥美女的几率比南方高得多，这一点，我将在这里叙述中国北方地区的人、北方藏区(即康巴藏区、安多藏区、拉萨林芝山南除外的卫藏藏区)的藏族、甘肃河西走廊东段和中段地区里的地区的人(几个回民区除外)、河北北部两个角、内蒙古人(包括内蒙古汉族和东部蒙古族，中西部蒙古族除外):
主体人种，是标准东亚人种(占比为60%以上)。【标准东亚人种黄河流域类型(Huanghoid)混入部分北亚人种血统形成的东亚人种中东亚类型(Middle Sinid)】、【东亚人种混入东南亚人种血统形成的东亚人种长江流域类型】、【北亚人种混入东亚人种血统形成的满洲朝鲜类型二型(Manchu-KoreanI)】，三者加起来占比为30%。北亚人种占比只有10%。东南亚人种的占比几乎为0%
2.南方的长江流域地区北部的大城市核心区的人、江淮人:
主体人种是东南亚人种的几种类型(北部类型为主，中南部类型为辅)，其次是北亚人种，这些加起来占比为50%，其次是【东亚人种混入东南亚人种血统形成的东亚人种长江流域类型】，占比为20%。【北亚人种混入东亚人种血统形成的满洲朝鲜类型二型(Manchu-KoreanI)】占比为20%。标准东亚人种和标准东亚人种黄河流域类型(Huanghoid)混入部分北亚人种血统形成的【东亚人种中东亚类型(Middle Sinid)】加起来占比不到10%
3.南方的长江流域地区北部的大城市郊区和下属的县与农村、长江流域北部的多数小城市和下属的县与农村:主体人种是东南亚人种的几种类型(北部类型为主，中南部类型为辅)和北亚人种
4.南方的长江流域地区南部、华南地区:大部分人口都是东南亚人种(中南部类型最多，其次是北部类型)
(东南亚人的主体人种是东南亚人种的南部类型
你要分清楚人种区：
在欧洲-北非人种区，和东亚人种区的对应关系是：
第一类：
欧洲南部内部的南部地区-北非：意大利南部、西班牙南部、北非土著柏柏尔人等，对应的是中国内部的南方地区：广东、广西、云南汉区、贵州、湖南、江西、浙江南部、福建。当地人，颜值不行（短鼻阔面）、身材短粗、身高不高，面部扁平，鼻突度小。
（注：北非有很大一部分人口是中世纪从阿拉伯半岛北部迁过去的人，而不是土著。这部分人除外）
第二类：
欧洲南部内部的北部部分地区：意大利北部中部、西班牙北部中部、西班牙南部的部分地区、法国的部分地区等，对应的是中国的四川。当地人颜值不错（狭鼻狭面），身材苗条，但是身高不高，鼻突度介于第一类和第三类之间，面部不扁平但也不够立体（虽然脸窄，但是鼻突度不够大）。
第三类：
欧洲北部的北德人、瑞典人对应的是中国北方人。当地人，颜值高（狭鼻狭面），身高高，身材苗条，面部立体。
土耳其西部、希腊、中东北部地区（比如阿拉伯半岛北部的叙利亚、黎巴嫩）、南斯拉夫地区，对应的是中国北方人。
第三类人种区的人群代表着世界上外表水平最高的那一批。第四类：
欧洲中部的人、英国人，对应的是中国南方内部的北部地区（长江流域北部）、福建的一部分地区的人、内蒙古中西部的蒙古族（察哈尔蒙古人）、外蒙古人（喀尔喀蒙古人）。当地人身材粗，面部宽，面部扁平，鼻突度较高但不是第一阶梯的。身高较高，但不是第一阶梯的。
至于土耳其，不是欧洲-北非人种区的。而是中东-东南欧人种区的。
在中东-东南欧人种区中：
土耳其西部、希腊、中东北部地区（比如阿拉伯半岛北部的叙利亚、黎巴嫩）、南斯拉夫地区，对应的是中国北方人。
对应中国四川的，是阿拉伯半岛的红海中北部沿岸的细长条地区、北非地区的地中海沿岸的细长条地区中的部分地区。
对应中国南方内部的北部地区（长江流域北部）、福建的一部分地区的人、内蒙古中西部的蒙古族（察哈尔蒙古人）、外蒙古人（喀尔喀蒙古人）的，是中东中部（比如埃及人）、土耳其中部东部的人。
对应中国南方内部的南方地区（长江流域南部、华南地区）的，是中东南部的人（比如也门人）。
Living out of your home country must make one feel so vulnerable, especially when your native language is completely different. I can't imagine how legitimizing it must feel to have a native speak to you in your language. So pure to watch
White isn’t native 😂
@@malfaroangel3896 Sorry, I was unclear. I meant someone native to the area that you are currently in!
@@malfaroangel3896 white is native to European countries. Native doesn’t mean any race or ethnicity, it means someone who was born in the land they live in. I’m native to Canada. That does not mean the same thing as being a Native in the ethnic sense, which is why we now refer to those people as indigenous.
It might do you some good to think about what someone means instead of being rude and belittling them when YOU in fact are wrong.
@@indiedreamers1478 you were perfectly clear, people just like to be "right" lol
@@malfaroangel3896 you know, the modern Japanese aren’t native to there land or other words, Modern day Japanese most of their ancestors aren’t native to Japan, there was already an indigenous group on the islands. Well we still acknowledge modern day Japanese as native to the land as they where born there, so why you think white people can’t be native to America if they were born there? (This an assumption, but maybe bc you thought modern day Japanese people and most of there ancestors where indigenous to islands)
I am so jealous. The people you get to meet and the food. It really doesn't get better than this. Best channel on TH-cam by far.
So beautiful to see the Indian culture of generosity and appreciation for an American learning their language. You must have gone in when they just Opened as the restaurant was empty. Glad you could meet them when the restaurant was not busy.
as person who regularly speaks telugu, i am amazed how well you can speak it. i have friends who’s parents are telugu, yet they can’t speak as well as you do!!
Imagine being so far from home and hearing someone from that country speak your language to you, it would fill my heart with joy
the man clearly has a gift, but watch enough videos and you start to see the trick. he learns very common phrases, repeats a lot of words (not sure if that's intentional), then tries it out at a handful of restaurants. one of the most common phrases is "I've never been to _____ but I'd love to go." this is easy to memorize and delights anyone who hears it. I can't stop watching. bravo
Always best to know common phrases people use or jesters i believe it will make it easier which is smart
It's pretty much what all the TH-cam polyglots do. I guess it's an easy way to jumpstart learning a language.
I disagree, a lot of it is good pronunciation
@@g.personal342 I’m not arguing that the man doesn’t have talent, but he stutters/repeats words in every language. It really drags out the content.
I mean of course. Theres no way he could be super fluent in as many languages as he has tried. The reason it's so fascinating is because so few ppl actually have the balls to do it. We are all afraid of looking stupid.
You speaking so many languages is breaking so many illusionary walls between us people. It's a form of respect, a form of showing we're all the same, one and just being here together to enjoy the ride. We're all in this together. You're a inspiring person and I appreciate the dedication you have in putting out this quality content. Still interested in what gear you're using, haha! No worries, I know you receive a lot of comment. New subscriber here. much love.
This is why it's important for immigrants to learn the language of the country they're in.
It's respect and it's a sign of unity.
Love how people open up when they see he took the time to learn their language and culture. Awesome stuff.
I love how when you speak different languages, it makes people so happy. I love seeing the joy in their faces.
This guy's a genius. Once he learns every language known to man. He will learn how to speak to animals next.
That would be awesome 🤗

lets talk about how good that food looked too!!! guess i gotta learn telugu now... lol
@@brianv9192 aaa please learn it-- i swear there is not enough foreigners who speak it! it makes me rlly happy when they do speak telugu

@@Mid19as it's not unusual in India to feed people for free. People feel happy when you eat with them.
Although I’m not Telugu or even close to being Indian I’ve been introduced to Hinduism from my school in which we learned all about the deities, Diwali, seven tenets, and vedas. This was very educational for me so thank you! Loved seeing that statue of Ganesha
it’s so cool seeing people being interested in learning more about our culture! people like you make my day ❤
@@Lucky-zo8is I’ve learned so much about Hinduism and how amazing it is. One of our projects was to even make our own mandir in which my I thought was the best in the class! But so much to learn about and I wish I could be involved in a festival because it all looked so fun.
@@rehm402 dude I wish that would be awesome. There’s a lot of Hindus in my neighborhood where all of them put up decorations for Diwali and such
What? When you were in High School.
@@SonGojit456 college man. Class is called Asian thought
Xiaoma I just have to say that in this day and age of complete NON-SENSE on youtube and people who make videos either half naked or doing stupid pranks, your videos are WHOLESOME AND REFRESHING. To see how people treat you and respect you for going out of your way to learn their languages is truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work.
My favorite thing about this channel is just seeing how happy everyone is when they realize someone took the time to learn their language. The people are always so proud and excited in a way
Seeing their reaction is priceless. It shows when you at least speak the language conversation wise It does take you far
I love how you make them feel good by learning their language and being accepting and I just love watching your videos
It's sad. It's like the legitimate opposite of how many Americans think with "you're here learn OUR language".
They have respect for the fact that you go out of your way to learn their language and even better have a conversation with them in their language 💛
The barriers that are broken with language is wild. I live in and around a Hasidic neighborhood all my life (not Brooklyn.... Monroe NY) and I communicate with them and picked up their language, learned customs, their history, their traditions. With this they have been so generous, polite, kind with me its crazy. We all are so much alike its insane. We sing similar songs, teach children the same way, follow similar behaviors but a lot is different which is really cool and interesting. We are all human in all cultures is what its taught me. The human condition.
Because gods people built the tower of babylon, PBUH he decided to split up people by giving them different tongues.
As a Telugu girl I’m proud you’re speaking Telugu 😭

@dejuren uhh??
Yeah Nenu Kuda GarvamgaUnnane !
@@SonGojit456 cool
Never ceases to amaze me, how you are able to speak Telugu and many other languages and dialects. You respect their customs and culture. You also speak fluently in their language and can understand a person who is native to their country or location. I studied French all the way from middle school to college. Today, I can't speak a lick of French. It is super cool to see you pick up languages so quickly. I love your content and your videos. Thank you for sharing with us.
School language classes are outdated and notoriously inefficient for actual learning. Go find some French/ Quebecois/ West African people to hang out and do fun stuff with and your French will come right back to you! :D
these will never stop being wholesome af
I won't lie, the prospect of free food is really motivating to learn a new language 😂
Lmao just show upto Hyderabad dude you’ll get everything free(not kidding) just try and speak telugu 😂
All you have to do is be super smart and that is not me so
@knockout I had the declaration and drive to learn Japanese I'm just not smart lol
@knockout exactly because I can't lol I have a smooth brain
It also depends on how you look, if you look brown then forget free food, if you are white then you might get it
The Indian head wobble is so endearing
why do they keep doing that
@@ria-gf2wkwell why do we nod our head in agreement? It's social conventions
@@lexx.wangmusicnot the same. But I understand your point
The perks of learning new languages lol. But seriously, this man bridging gaps by learning languages always brings the best. It's nice to know a little more about Telugu and the culture surrounding it (food looking good for real).
You can literally hold a conversation in any language within a week!!!! Amazing!
Welcome to Hyderabad...the city of very friendly people and amazing food variety. It doesn't really matter if you speak Telugu in Hyderabad, people are soo chilled, they'd try their best to help you get where you want and what you want, you are accepted no matter where you come from, Living in Germany, i miss Hyderabad soo much.
As someone from Andhra Pradesh, I would give this a 8/10 simply because he Pronounces the language as TEL- ugu when it’s closer to sounding like thel - ugu. for a foreigner he understands the language but his pronunciation of a lot of the words could use some work and his accent could use some work too. But language teaching aside I definitely think it does a good job of representing India, good work.
Still impressive.
Oh yeah we do pronounce it like that.. honestly never understood why
Meh, go to farmer village they speak pure and it’s even hard for me
10/10 for effort
telugu is one of the hardest languages. so ill give 9/10 for him.
I've been watching your channel for years. One thing I'd really like to point out is how supportive your wife is. It must be amazing to be able to have the freedom to go out and make these videos while she holds down the fort (I'm assuming). Hats off to her and thanks for bringing such good content to the world.
I don't like to talk about my time in the military only because alot of vets use it for sympathy, but what he's doing is such a massive sign of respect for these cultures. When I was in the U.S Army, I leaned quite a bit of Arabic and pashtu prior to my deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and the civilians from those places took it as a massive compliment when a U.S citizen took time out of his/her day to learn their culture. Well done man!
I’ve never found an Indian dish that I haven’t liked (though I don’t eat lamb or goat) and these look amazing! I have memories going back to maybe aged 4 or 5 and going to my mum’s friends’ Indian restaurant to eat, back when we lived in Hamburg, Germany. Unfortunately I have to limit things now because my lactose intolerance has gotten worse as I’ve gotten older😢.
You can substitute ghee for olive oil or sunflower oil
Like the other commenter said. You can always ask for a neutral oil instead of Ghee and any milk will likely be coconut milk or can at least be substituted.
Has any restaurant ever said “It’s not very tasty” when you ask “Is it good?” 😁
Not mom and pop places but the waiters and waitresses in chain restaurants will sometimes if you ask them to be honest.
My father often asks, Is it good? After 60 years, I still want to slink under the table in embarrassment. 😀
I mean, at some point someone had said that he should rather order something else and pointed to the other one.
Me: “Is it good?”
Waiter: “It’s not very tasty.”
Me: "It doesn't matter. I eat everything, anyway."
@@cropcircler Does it help to know that servers get asked that all the time? 😆
Hey I speak only a tiny bit of this language, I live in America but I’m Indian (Telugu). This video helped me converse with people more in Telugu because I’m not very fluent at all, but your confidence to be able to talk at a very beginner level to others really surprises me. I would be too embarrassed to even try. So I just want to congratulate you on attempting to learn this language, and to thank you on making me at least a bit more confident and willing to talk to people In Telugu
Native Telugu speaker here. Your Telugu is pretty good for someone learning it for a short time and especially for an American.
Being a person who is from Andhra Pradesh who speaks Telugu . This brings joy to me I shall show this to my mom too , she will be shocked and I know she will be watching this with biggest smile along with me
As a person brought up in India being fluent in Telugu and Tamil, and you were so adept at both of them I am so proud! Keep it up bro!
So fun to watch. Thank you Xiaoma/Ari ! I enjoy how you surprise so many people of different cultures with your talent for languages.
Gotta love Xiaoma, some of the most wholesome content on TH-cam.
Respect & Appreciation go a very long way in this world
This guys got the best job in the world learn languages and go around eating food
When love of food motivates you to learn more languages....
Dude u are so impressive. You make the world a small friendly place and you singlehandedly show that we the human race are good. So much negatively out there for nothing. You deserve all the good in your life. Sorry for telling u to man up over the plane thing. I sincerely apologise to you.
I believe polyglots like yourself bring the world together! Just learning a language of another country is one of the greatest signs of respect
You deserve all the good things mate, the world needs people like you who are willing to learn and connect.
My neighbors speak Telugu and they want me to see if I can pick it up. Also in regards to the free food people from India tend to be extremely hospitable to guests. I walked into my daughter's friends house and they fed me till I wasn't hungry anymore 🤣. I would say I'm full "Oh are you sure because we have more for you." I left heavier than when I arrived and they were very pleasant to be around.
As a telugu speaker im very impressed with his ability to form sentences especially went the subject and adjective are sometimes filled in Telugu for example in English people will say "What is your name?" in Telugu (direct translation word for word) it "your name is what?"
Man, I love the bond that occurs when people find out that you're interested in learning how to communicate with them in their native language. I've worked alongside some great people that have even taught me a few things when they found out I was interested in learning more.
Dude, at this stage your channel has become a competitive eating channel as well as a languages channel and I love it! ❤️
It’s like I’m Fallout when you have 100 Speech and you get different objectives you couldn’t get if you didn’t have 100 Speech 💀
Now imagine everybody in NYC learns Telugu to get free food to avoid high food prices
Something tells me the Indians would love seeing more westerners speak their tongue
Having seen you speak other languages, I can't tell you how surprised I was to see my own language spoken by you! Like those in the video, I think I would be amazed and impressed if I saw someone outside my own ethnic group speaking my language! Listening to you in the video and reading the translations, I will say that some of it is off - a few pronunciations, grammer strucure, and the meaning of a few words/sentences you used - BUT, it is definitely understandable and to achieve even that level of mastery is incredible! I love that you're doing this. It brought a big smile to my face. I hope to see more!!
I love the involuntary oh shit from Xiaoma at 7:56 from the absolute unit of a biryani bowl he's served. That thing could feed a small village!
Well done to the restaurants for being so kind to you. It was nice to watch.
Hi xioama you’ve inspired me to start learning new languages starting with Chinese, I’m 2 months in and it’s going really well!! Keep up the good work
Good luck I will learn mandarin soon.
I am going to learn german, im italian
He is so amazing and I love how the people look at him when he speaks the language 🤣👍
OMG i have been watching your videos since a few months and you finally learning telugu is sooo soo cool!!!
I love how you bridge cultures by earnestly learning their languages, but I ALSO love that you showcase my ’hood, intentionally or not, in every video! Peace.
This food is making my mouth water. It would be so fun to see him on a travel/food show.
im not sure how i even found your channel ages ago..but im so glad that i did. i love these videos. the respect you have and show is heartwarming.
and seeing your face light up over food never gets old
Never thought I'd see the day you speak Telugu! This is incredible ur actually the best - I've been watching for 3 years now and it put such a smile on my face to see this thank you
As an aspiring polyglot I always come to this channel to remind myself that I need to go out and just try to speak the language. Gotta throw my self-consciousness and perfectionism out the window and just try.
The patient and joyful responses and connections always remind me that people are less critical than I think they'll be.
The only thing more impressive than his language skills is his appetite
Yeah😹
You should start telling them that you learned multiple languages because of head trauma. A city bus hit you and when you woke up you were able to speak dozens of languages.
Your telugu is very good .

That is what respect looks like 👍
