[@UltraViolent21]

Thank God I’m a Texan. I hope I get to visit Nigeria.

[@fuzz4173]

What does that mean in your opinion? There are over 500 native languages spoken in Nigeria and the official language is English. I know what learning the German language or Italian means. I have no idea what learning the Nigerian language means, there are so many, no?

Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo are the three major languages in Nigeria. Big ups to the guy for the effort. It would be nice if you guys reacted to more African content.

[@AndySaputo]

There is another KZbinr who was great at these kinds of videos named Laoshu. He unfortunately passed away last year from a heart condition but his videos are great. He would speak many languages throughout one video and really surprise people. His most famous video is titled "Black Man Making Foreigners Feel At Home By Speaking Their Language! ((IN RETROSPECT))" and is a great thing to see.

[@AndySaputo]

This is one of my personal favorites: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSqk6CrjKh4q9E

[@Kelly-ml5tl]

I watch him but never thought to mention for you guys to react. Enjoyed this one.

[@willvr4]

If you guys like this, you should do Laoshu. It's a similar concept except he's a 6'5" black guy and he keeps his camera hidden in his hat so the reactions are different. He sadly passed away recently from a heart condition.

@@Leon-bp6kb Sorry you had to find out this way man. He seemed like such a cool dude. Xiaomanyc actually has a whole intro video dedicated towards his death. It's hard to watch because he clearly had so much respect for him and he can't stop crying for a while.

[@Trapper50cal]

Ultimately, it's a sign of respect to learn someone else's native language. It is something American's almost never do, so it surprises and delights others.

[@anghellicamakes2792]

WDYM half our country speaks Spanish lmao

There's almost no need for us to do so, English has become the standard language for business worldwide, that's probably not going to change for a long time. Also spare time isn't something that's very common for Americans to have either.

This guy has some great videos. He doesn't really learn all these languages, though. He learns some common words and key phrases and then makes these videos. Still really good. I also like that he spends money at all the places where he records. His mandarin is fantastic, though. Those are the best videos.

[@willvr4]

His mandarin is completely fluent.

[@andrew348]

@@willvr4 yes he is multilingual in a few languages but most of them are just a few words and phrases.

bro thats how u learn langauges lol dont downplay his accomplishments or skills

[@04m6gto]

@@DeterminedFC Uh, no, it's really not. It's how you make extremely profitable KZbin videos. Nobody has downplayed anything. Learning even anything in a new language is difficult, but he doesn't keep learning all these languages after these videos. He stutters through some common phrases, makes his money, and moves on to the next language. He can converse in a few, but not all of them. I enjoy his videos, I'm subscribed to his channel, but I don't pretend that he's fluent in 30 languages.

[@willvr4]

@@DeterminedFC It's funny how many Asian people would ask him if he played basketball lol

[@Macdelaven]

When he speaks the language it's neat. The fact he understands what the local people are saying is mindboggling.

There are a few KZbinrs who do this including an African American guy Laoshu505000 (Moses McKormick) who could speak 20 different languages, and had over a million Subscribers. Unfortunately he died just last March.

I love Xiama, he is such a kind, inspiring person. He makes me feel brave enough to keep speaking Spanish in an environment where I could just switch to English. People appreciate it when you speak to them in their language.

[@wheelmanstan]

there's this white american woman's channel, she lives in japan and she'll speak japanese and chinese to people and it really blows their minds, especially the chinese, it's great to see, I forget her name, but she's extremely good with the pronunciations is what really surprises them, some people do a bunch of languages but don't really learn it, they just film themselves saying a few things for views and they get some hate, I think they're seen as exploiting those people

Like watching this guy's channel. Nice to see one of my favorite reaction channels reacting to this dude, he's awesome.

[@NikkiCox81]

When we were in lockdown two years ago I thought about trying to learn Japanese but it is really hard. Being in the US I know a small amount of Spanish and I am trying to at least learn more French pronunciations but it is difficult when I've already learned Spanish pronunciations. I could still by no means carry on a conversation in Spanish but I could figure out enough to get by. I would love to be able to speak more languages than just English.

[@mateoverjo860]

French and Spanish are both romance languages so it should be easier to learn French if you already speak some Spanish... I speak Albanian, Italian and English and being a fluent Italian speaker gives me the ability to comprehend a good chunk of Spanish (the central and south american versions expecially, strangely enough) and a little bit of French, Portuguese and Romanian by default. Romance languages have A LOT in common, you'll find out by yourself 👏

[@Inglizi4U]

Love this dude!! Partially inspired me to start this current channel teaching English concepts in Arabic 😎

Xiama is incredibly talented. I agree about the reactions. I speak literally like maybe 30 words of Korean(I had a Korean roommate at Uni and he taught me some different phrases) and even that is enough to get those same reactions from people from Korea. Usually just saying hello in Korean will shock them.

[@ex89thmpbdecagekicker22]

You have to practice any language so you don't forget how to speak it. My Mom only spoke Spanish and that's where we learned it, but she passed away 3 1/2years ago and I have no one to speak Spanish with. Brothers and sisters speak practically all in English and so do their kids. So if you speak other languages have someone you can speak with to keep the language fresh in your mind.

I think Laoshu was the greatest at doing things like this. Unfortunately he passed away recently but those are also good videos to react to.

[@richarddowns7587]

Gents as a Brit living in China I suggest never giving up on learning some new language as you go on holiday! If you learn 5-10 phrases the locals will love you... France, Europe and the rest of the world can be so much more interactive if you know a few phrases. Love the videos and keep up the good work.

[@lavendermagic84]

Xiaomanyc and other KZbinrs like him who go around shocking people by speaking their own language have really inspired me to start learning new languages. I used to only know and speak English, but now I've spent over a year and a half learning Spanish, Japanese, and Finnish, because I really love those languages. I hope to learn more in the future ❤️ Just like the Office Blokes have said, communicating with other people in different languages is how you break down those boundaries and language barriers. I love to think that this is one way of getting to meet new people!

4:00 Modern English speakers use German words more frequently (times per day/week etc.), but our overall vocabulary has FAR more French words in it than German. A bit over 30% of modern English is composed of words adopted from French (mostly via the Normans).
