I think Laoshou was one of his biggest mentors. I could be wrong though. R.I.P. LAOSHOU.

[@saintsataniko2116]

Yeah I mentioned that on the previous video. I think Laoshu spoke 20 different languages, which is just hard to fathom. But these guys are prodigies.

[@Bravo-Tango]

I didn’t even know he died, damn

[@DaveTalkin]

Yeah, and he was awesome, but now he's doing the laoshu thing where he doesn't really speak the language for views

[@lavenderllamamusic]

oh my god, i had commented in the last Xiaoma reaction that i preferred Laoshu's channel but i forgot their name and you've just reminded me. He died though?! That's so sad to hear

[@ChaoticCobras]

rip mouse. miss that guy, best polyglot to ever live

[@theboywonder721]

You guys would have a blast with Laoshou's videos RIP but he was amazing at drawing out reactions

[@iofbeholder]

I miss Moses. RIP Laoshou

[@willcee4966]

Rip

[@kassimoomaar4522]

RIP Laoshou. Leveling up in heaven

[@BC_E91]

Laoshou was the first polyglot KZbinr I got into. He uploaded so much content and it felt like he knew how to hold a conversation IN EVERY LANGUAGE. That video where he was fishing and started talking to those Chinese guys is what got me hooked. RIP

[@SamanthaRod]

So glad you guys have discovered Xiaoma! He is such a sweet person!

[@jeffburdick869]

I love Xiaoma's videos! I'm jealous of his linguistic abilities.

[@donmcclurg3158]

I dated a girl from Japan who immigrated to the US and the only time she she spoke Japanese was around her family or she was mad with me....lol She taught me some Japanese, but after we decided to call it quits I have forgotten most of it.

[@willvr4]

I've dated plenty of Spanish speaking or Asian speaking girls, and I always try to learn the language. But if you're not using it on a daily basis, you forget it. I can still understand some Spanish, especially if written...but my Mandarin and Tagalog/bisaya is non-existent.

[@boshidobrownreacts]

Laoshu is a black guy that speaks mandarin and contonese plus more. the lost look the people have when they hear him speak are priceless

[@nydomirican6193]

Sadly he passed away😔

[@boshidobrownreacts]

@@nydomirican6193 I know... watched so many of his videos felt like I knew him personally..

[@BEBAdventures]

I love peoples reaction when they hear there native language. Its a piece of home for them.

[@saintsataniko2116]

The two guys from the great ADVChina channel both lived in China over 10 years and speak fluent mandarin (and a bit of Cantonese). One is American, one is South African and both have Chinese wives. Once they went to Chinatown in Los Angeles to find some authentic food, and everywhere they went they heard people on the street saying in Mandarin: "What are these foreigners doing here?" Now these are Chinese immigrants and ex-pats in the US calling a guy born in New York a "foreigner." Could you imagine Americans & Brits living in something EnglishTown in the heart of Beijing and seeing locals walking through and having the audacity to ask loudly "What are all these Chinese doing here?"

[@kingjamestres]

I'm with Mike I think languages like Japanese and Mandarin are more widely spoken than people realize.

[@kickhacker]

I think that's Daz, Mike is the guy in the middle and then Dave to the left.

[@Andre-g3n5p]

Mike's ghost was talking?

[@anghellicamakes2792]

U WOT

[@isaacalzate8262]

Well no shit japan has 200 million plus residents and china got over a billion

[@Nekotaku_TV]

Japanese for sure, way easier and more popular than Mandarin.

[@mattybrass]

Obviously I don't know Mike personally but I'm with daz at the start, if Mike walked into a Chinese place and tried to speak it, it would be hilarious to watch 🤣

[@1murkeybadmayn]

good god, i have a picture in my head now 😂😂😂

[@melrest3453]

This dude is amazing! He can speak so many diff languages it’s awesome!

[@nikbrickkbsgaming4117]

ya I eat almost every meal that needs utensils with chop sticks. it just makes eating even more exciting

[@Shiby23]

I love this dudes videos. truly dedicated to his craft with a fantastic personality.

[@MS8three]

Great video guys. You should also check out Laoshu

[@Kelly-ml5tl]

He has a calling. God has given him a gift.

[@SandyRiverBlue]

I think that Cantonese is one of my favorite sounding languages. Kim Chan was probably my favorite Chinese actor of all time (Fifth Element, KungFu: The Legend Continues) and that accent just reminds me of my childhood and all the chefs at our local small-town Chinese restaurants. To this day, the most authentic restaurants in my area, in a larger city now, have Cantonese being spoken in the back.

[@vinchetti_spaghetti]

There are videos of him speaking regional Chinese dialects too.

[@laboskie349]

His Sichuan video was good.

[@onehero8317]

He's my hero! He eats and speaks!!!!

[@muadabuhashhash7141]

It's funny how you mentioned the arabic guys were from Jordan, I am from there😁 been a fan of you since your early days on KZbin. Keep crushing with your reactions and you'll hit the 1 Mil mark in no time

[@Mhead-nv5jt]

You guys will love laoshu

[@AlexBizzar]

Xiaoma - She-ow-ma. The "NYC" part is... well fairly self-explanitory. This guy and Laushu505000 (rip) inspired me to learn Mandarin. So I started. We moved to Iowa, and I wanted to try and find places to learn and practice/use my skills. Found a local restaurant called China Moon, owned by a husband and wife. They would both speak Mandarin, and I would try and practice with the owner. Turns out, he's Vietnamese, and she's Chinese!! He said Vietnamese was easier to learn, so I started learning Vietnamese now, too lol. It's not easy. It's equally difficult, but I appreciate his attitude lol! In getting to know him, he told me that came to America in '84 with being able to speak a few words, but every day he would come home and both read AND write from the dictionary for 2 hours. He said that even to this day, he still gets nervous speaking English with me and others. That kind of put things in perspective, and now learning languages has a bit more meaning to me (more than it already had before).

[@hanslund308]

I would say 5% of the reactor guys on youtube have the ability to be funny. You guys have that ability

[@jeaninem6868]

Watch the one where he goes to the nail salon or gets his haircut 😂👍🏼

[@lisas572]

I've been watching this guy for awhile

[@briankirchhoefer]

Most Americans don't speak another language. The ones that do speak a second language , it is Spanish.

[@badguy1481]

New York China town USED to be all Cantonese speakers (people from Hong Kong and surrounding areas). Now, like other China towns in the USA, people from Mainland China have become more of a presence. They speak a MUCH different dialect from Cantonese, mutually unintelligible from Cantonese. (Mandarin). Shya-Shya (Xie-Xie) is "Thank you" in Mandarin. Not sure about "Xio-Mei", (I didn't hear it), but the words could be translated as "Little Pretty one". In the USA, Chinese waiters and waitresses are considered to be quite rude. But after living in Asia for many years, I soon found out that that "rudeness", in Asian restaurants, is "de rigueur". I remember eating in an Asian restaurant and I asked for a "little more sauce" (which they serve in those TINY concave bowls). The waitress gave me a dirty look and said: "Why do you eat so much sauce?!!!!"

[@Itchybunny]

laoshu505000 a black guy use to do this he use to run youtube with these videos.. but he died a few years back really young

[@_WeDontKnow_]

I need a video of Mike trying to speak chinese in a chinese resturaunt now

[@nboots00]

React to some Laoshu next, mans just passed away recently :(

[@ramiromaia592]

This guy is incredibly a quick learner

[@unseenmal]

he lived in China for a few years while he worked there. His wife is also Chinese. I follow his channel because I am also trying to learn Chinese

[@istiles1]

You need to check out his excursions into Tibetan & Navajo....

[@DuckdaringZ]

I just thought, "Wow, this dude is the only shark in that water."

[@bigdtheog572]

Hope you guys react to Laushou eventually he's the best channel for languages in my opinion

[@chantell209]

I want some Chinese food now

[@holysquire8989]

me too

[@looleas]

More please!

[@chadbailey7038]

Love this guy!

[@willvr4]

Daz thinking that a lot of white people in America or Europe can fluently speak Mandarin, is 100% an observation bias by working in import/export where it's often a requirement of the job.

[@freshsmilely]

had to watch it twice. once normally then again just to imagine mike doing it

Mandarin in upstate NY in most schools is learned from 6th grade and on.

[@jeffburdick869]

Since when? I went to public school in Upstate NY and Spanish and French were my only options.

It’s kind of lame that he uses phrases like “clueless white guy” to get people to click when he’s clearly taken a lot of time to develop fluency. It’s pandering.

One of my greatest failures in life is that I cannot use chopsticks. My husband is great at using them and I just can't get it.

Took me a long time, but I really enjoy using them. I personally have put away most of my forks except for certain culturally appropriate dishes like Italian. Well worth it IMO

[@_Booker_DeWitt]

Echoing the others in the comments, I have to recommend Laoshu505000's videos. He was an inspiration to Xiaoma and one of my favorite KZbinrs. I used to binge all of his videos, it's amazing how many languages he knew and the heartwarming connections he made with people of different cultures.

[@kassimoomaar4522]

You guys will love laoshou505000. Guy would walk around with a hidden camera and speak all the languages with strangers. RIP moses

[@SS-pq9ci]

So sad to learn that he died. RIP

[@cultured123]

React to LAOSHOU.

[@woodyhitya]

Xiaoma is pronounced She-Ow Ma

[@ChaoticCobras]

trust me you guys would love laoshu505000, he passed away last year but speaks many many many more languages than Xiaoma (not to put him down or anything hes great) and not only that but he cant speak so many extremely fluently and he has a ton a videos that are all amazing so many awesome reactions and interactions

[@bigbake132]

He's not just speaking Manderin though, although its his best. He also speak Cantonese and Fujianese which are very regional.

[@lindapgolan7070]

Look for Xioma's video where he goes for a manicure (and Laoshu was great, RIP)

[@andregourdine8353]

There is also a Black dude who speaks many languages and does the same thing on YT. You think this guy gets great reactions, imagine the reactions a Black guy gets.

Xioma also knows Fujinese, and he surprises chinese people that he knows it, I guess cause Fujinese is pretty rare.

[@BWen3]

Lots of white people speak mandarin. But Xiaoma is on another level. Native speakers usually rave about how good is accent and grammar is.

[@AdrianaNietoArtist]

Loved this reaction! And I love Xiaomanyc's videos. You guys should also check out this other guy, he's a black man that can speak so many languages and also regional dialects on the spot. He is quite amazing and gets to people's hearts when he speaks their native language out of nowhere. Here's one that's so great! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZjSlndunqh1qck

[@mistaTVD3199]

I wonder how much the office blokes have traveled throughout Europe and have had exposure to other languages. I think what makes America people react especially to this guy speaking Chinese is most Americans aren't exposured that much to foreign languages. Occasionally you hear Spanish by native speakers, but that is really it. Hearing a native white American speaking perfect Chinese isn't something our minds can wrap our heads around haha

[@goukenslay7555]

i think chniese people get too impressed by other learning their language. they will praise you for fucking sure cause they know they can communicate with you better. if your are their kids friend too man they will treat you like family almost

[@liamengram6326]

I strive to one day be a polyglot on the level of this guy. Currently I can speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, Polish, Korean, and International Sign Language.

Speaking of applying to be a new office bloke, you'll should do like a guest visit and have some fans come set in on a few vidoes.

[@SherriLyle80s]

He a tually learned some Navajo. You should take a look at his Navajo video. It's one of the hardest languages to learn.

[@typ044]

You should definitely do a couple more of his, he has much better ones thsn this one with better reactions.

My wife is Chinese and their family speaks Cantonese so I quickly learned a bit. It's funny because I can (for the most part) understand them just based on context but I'm not fluent in the language. She does attempt to teach me though lol.

english is the world's wide spoken language going at 1.5 billion ( in terms of native + non-english speakers ) while mandarim is at 1.1 billion widely spoken in china and other asian countries. mandarim is spoken by natives, and yes, you may find non-natives speaking it but not as much as english where everything worldwide is in english such as movies, tv shows, music, jobs, etc.

[@devin3955]

He did a video where he "learned" Korena in 24hrs. Not at all fluent just basic hello how are you stuff but it's pretty fun.
