  • The first 1,000 people to use my link to sign up will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/xiaomanyc09222 I spoke Telugu in Indian restaurants in America and the bosses were so shocked that they gave me tons of free food and drinks. Telugu in addition to being the fourth most spoken language in India is also the fastest growing language in the United States. So this is what happens when I practice the language in the Telugu state of New Jersey.

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.

      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.

      @@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.

    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 ♥️

    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.

      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.

      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

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 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 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.
