But something very interesting I never thought about. Do people who speak different languages really laughthe same as people who speak the same language but different from other people speak a different language? I always thought the way you act was an under your control that's why some people have really stupid sounding laughter. I mean except for coarse Japanese girls they all laugh the same. That's a joke

[@FarikoWishless]

@@zekezzekekan2144 I think who you're surrounded by effects your laugh more than you think. I have my own laugh but there's more than one way to laugh and I've noticed my parents laughs in there and they clearly picked it up from somewhere as well. Even down to your neighborhood a more connected always buddy buddy neighborhood would probably foster an extroverted type loud laugh openly showing joy. Where as somewhere more silent type might mean you giggle softly more than laugh. Personality is a factor. There's so much influence we don't think about. Shit even age I dam sure don't laugh the same as I did as a kid.

[@RobleViejo]

@@zekezzekekan2144 Not only that, it has been proven that your way of thinking and personality change slightly when you speak another language. I speak Spanish and English and Id consider myself more calm and paused when speaking English. When I speak in Spanish its a train wreck, I can speak very fast. I tried to learn mandarin, japanese or korean but there is no school whatsoever here (I'm from Argentina) and Im very bad at self teaching, I have no discipline.

​@@MrMrPopols Not necessarily true. Obviously, I am not speaking from experience as there is no real way to compare difficulty unless I was simultaneously a native Chinese speaker who tried learning another language and a speaker of another language trying to learn a Chinese language, but the reason why Chinese is so difficult is because it is tonal. As I said, I don't know of the difficulties a person would face that only knows tonal languages while trying to learn a non-tonal language, but it is very unlikely that the challenge is equal. Another thing to note is that google seems to agree with me that tonal speakers don't have that much trouble with non-tonal languages.

tbh I wouldn't say he is really speaking in the sichuan dialect. He seems to know a common phrase that sichuanese people use, but he his tones aren't adapting to the dialect. Obviously, it's still extremely impressive that he learned all of this by himself.

[@JSainte17]

I found out yesterday because I had been binging Xioama's videos and a video popped up called "RIP Laoshu" and I was like, no f*cking way. Gutted. I wish I had enrolled in his 1:1 course when I initially found it. Massive regret. I found him because of his, at the time, ONE viral video where he spoke Korean and I think Japanese. This exact video was the second one I watched, and is still my favorite.

[@THIRDEYEzOPENED]

Was he really murdered by his wife?

[@blu3_enjoy]

This is the all time classic. Must have watched it many times over the years, RIP

[@kwaitefuni9152]

It's so weird to think that this video only came out 4 years ago. I feel like I was watching Moses way earlier than that, especially considering the pandemic. No shot, it's been only 4 years. I love to come back to this video (as well as others) every year/couple of months. Moses may be gone, but his legacy will live on! Each year, the language scene on youtube grows. People like xiaoma, etc. keep this going!

[@FuzioN2006]

@@juanpalomo5532 I think obscure is the best way to put it. I'm not even sure how one would go about learning it, short of living in Sichuan. China literally has thousands of dialects, and unlike English 'dialects', they actually can't communicate with each other verbally in most cases. That's why everyone in China is encouraged to learn Mandarin, which is itself just another dialect (from the Beijing area).

@@prod.byGats couldn’t have said it better myself. Language is a part of the culture, so there’s deeper significance when you learn other languages.

It really is an amazing feeling and I highly recommend folks to learn a second language if they’re able. A whole new world literally opens up to them.

For anyone watching his videos being very skeptical. I'm 100% Chinese mandarin and i understood 100% of this conversation from both sides.

Ty for clearing up. I understand their skepticism though. He has shown to fake his way though many times before.
