@@trevorcarlson6134 I only learn Japanese so maybe there's a bit of a cultural difference, but "foreigner" usually has a bit of a different connotation in those languages. A good rule of thumb is basically anybody outside of a language's country of origin, so in this case, China. It has a bit of nuisance that's hard to put into words, but it's kind of another way to say "American" or just anybody in general whose not Chinese in one word

I lived in NYC for 30 years & stopped patronizing their shops/restaurants years ago. Koreans & Japanese are much nicer & healthier & cleaner.

You inspired me to try to say “thank you “ in Fuzhounese at dinner tonight to the server and she was very surprised! She says that in this town it is rare someone can recognise the sound of it, let alone try to say a few words in it. I am in Southern Indiana and people here do not usually make an effort to try to understand and say a few words in any foreign language other than Spanish. Thank you for the inspiration! I grew up in Hawai’i and Southern California, so can recognise the sound of Mandarin and Cantonese, but I know nearly nothing; my education and experience has been with Japanese, so this is kinda neat. :)

Excellent work there. My mum is from the HengHua section of FuZhou I had only heard her speaking this with her late parents decades ago. It is similar to Hokkien but it has some specific lispings. Decades later I walked into a Sushi train restaurant in Australia and heard the staff there speaking this dialect. I greeted them and spoke with them in their dialect. They were surprised to have a random guy walking in and speaking their dialect. Outside of my mum's family I had not heard anyone else speaking this either.

It's a bit more difficult to tell from text, but if I spoke this out, it would sound something like: "Kom in mine warm house, mine freend". Now, perhaps you speak Dutch, but I assume you don't. Despite that, you can clearly understand what is being said in this sentence if you speak English. But you don't speak Dutch.

I'm somewhat multilingual: Native English speaker, but my French is quite good, German is passable, and I can get around in Spanish. I've learned some Korean, but Mandarin and Japanese seem too difficult to me, especially the writing systems. At least Korean uses an alphabet of sorts (ingenious it is!). I'm taking your recommendation to try Street Smart Languages. I'm hoping that this old dog (I'm 70) can continue to learn more languages so more doors will be open for me and I can meet people from around the world. Thank you Xiaoma!

Hey mate, love the content! It's amazing how you connect with the locals through their languages. I filmed a lot of travel vlogs in Indonesia and by the end was getting a decent grasp on Bahasa Indonesia (their national language) - but every time i went to a new island they had a different dialect so my Bahasa was all over the place sometimes haha. I'm going to take a look at your language course, as I intent on making more travel vlogs and i'm really interested in enriching those experiences through language. Thanks dude!

It’s amazing how accommodating people get when you take time to learn about their language or culture. We are all more similar than we think. It is interesting how they all call him a foreigner even though they are all in NYC.

Your videos made me change my whole perspective on Chinese people. It's all because of the language barrier I often experience in places like this. But because of you, now I know they are super funny, very curious and say what they think. What you see is what you get. Sweet.
