I understood everything in the video and just ASSUMED i was reading subtitles because i always use subtitles even for english (im korean american and born in NYC) videos/movies/shows. I was trying to comment in the post about a question someone had asking what the people were saying and I was so confused because i understood it just fine. I thought maybe they were playing it on a low volume. And I went to rewatch the video and realized i was just understanding what korean people were saying hahaha.

Whoever it was trying to help you with pants was the best person. She was surprised about your language skills, but she instantly trying to do the real Chinese haggle and "hey, at least get him some shit he can use." In the right way. I mean as much as it seems most people appreciate the effort you've gone through to learn the language, she instantly understood you were a nice guy that learned the language and made it her responsibility to get exactly what as t you needed at the right price. And also kind of teased you for the size. Long story short, as soon as she knew that you spoke the language, she put it on herself to get you the right product and the deal every other chinese person should.

My journey to learn chinese (even though I will likely never have an actual use for it) began 3 years ago watching Trevor James' Food Ranger channel. Shortly thereafter, I discovered Xiaoma's channel. Three years and a few hundred hours later spent on Duo, Hello Chinese, etc, I have attained enough to watch these videos and understand what is being discussed, even if I cant parse it all perfectly in real time. I'm somewhere between HSK1 and 2... If I had a proficient speaker to practice with I think I would be way further along, but I'm still proud of wht I have accomplished on my own, all thanks to inspiration from Ari and Trevor.

This is probably my #1 favorite Chinese-related Xiaoma video that I've seen! The interactions are so everyday and genuine, and lots of different scenes; it all also flows like a short story, narratively I think this is a really wonderful clip. The exclamation at the end ("What a day!") really felt cool, because it was so true; I also learned a bit more about your background through some of the interactions, which was nice. Kudos to you, Ari, for your inquisitive mind, free spirit and huge heart (and brain) ❤ I'm multilingual as well, and studied English philology, so I appreciate your videos on many levels at once (even though I don't speak half of the languages in them at all)! 😊 Love from Finland, rakkautta Suomesta ❤ (I would be over the moon if you ever tried out any Fenno-Ugric languages, such as Finnish or Estonian 🇫🇮🇪🇪)

you never really realize how much of stunted social interaction with foreigners has to do EXCLUCIVELY with the language barrier until it's broken. im ashamed to admit it, but I honestly used to think chinese, indian, arab etc. natives just socialized differently than we do, and in turn they come off as awkward. But it's 100% just the language barrier. The moment you're both fluent in a given language together, they IMMEDIATELY seem the exact same as anyone else.

I do love it when you start speaking to someone then switch to their own language and they reply in that tongue, then suddenly realise what has happened. I've done it a few times with Thai people in various countries and that 'double-take' moment of confusion and then happy surprise seems to be universal 😁

I'm going to show your videos to my mom! She is from Taiwan and speaks Mandarin! She taught me a little bit when I was little, but she was the only one around that spoke the language, so I couldn't practice much and have only retained a few words. You're doing such an awesome job!

Stoked to find your channel I love China and Chinese people, I am a kiwi but have travelled there for work and would love to learn mandarin. This is really inspiring me to get on a good language course as I am studying law too and I was so impressed when I was in Beijing at a conference how many Europeans from the Uk who lived in Hong Kong spoke fluent mandarin and Cantonese . Speaking it at home all day must be super helpful too 😊

Just imagine how relaxing it is for someone, like the uber driver, to be able to converse in his own language instead of English. I am an American living in Ireland and sometimes find it a bit of a relief to hear an American accent. Not that I am hung up on being American but I realize when I hear an American speak that even though we're all speaking English, I must be working a little harder without realizing it speaking to people with different accents than me all the time. I can't even imagine the drain it can be havng to speak a language other than your first all the time. Actually, I came across your videos when your visit to Moore Street in Dublin video was recommended to me! That was brilliant. I loved the way the Irish appreciated a non-Irish person speaking Irish. They are so used to people either not knowing the language exists, or putting it down as unnecessary.
