That's a typical Chinese racist as fuck

[@TheDylls]

I said it on the original video and I'll say it again: The older Irishman's eyes, when you started speaking Gaelic, betrayed how he really felt about you. THEN, he was so thoroughly impressed that he HAD to test you with an insult like "Go back to America!" Quickly insulting him back in his own language secured you that high five which was basically a public display of affection from an "Old Irishman"... UNHEARD-OF!!

Next language you should learn: Hawaiian. Take your wife and Elan to Hawaii and write it off as a business trip 😆 Hawaiian is another rapidly dying language, and a haole from New York learning it might spark some interest among local Hawaiians to learn it.

[@blockedblock5203]

Agreed 100%. Maybe even Pidgin too while you're there

[@808BAMFasian]

I’m from Hawaii and yes I agree. That would be awesome.

[@shyeahright]

Same for Tongan ☺️

[@janellek21]

@@blockedblock5203 That might not be a good idea. Hawaiian locals often get offended when a mainlander tries to talk Pidgin, similar to how many Black people would get offended when a white person tries to speak ebonics.

[@michellereyes3484]

The absolute best part about your videos is how you’re showing how beautiful this world can be and all the beautiful cultures that there are. You’re just proving that when you give respect you receive it in return. If only everyone could experience the world like you have then we’d be much more loving and understanding humans to each other.

Seeing you speak Tamil makes me so happy it's a language not many people know of but it is the oldest language that is spoken to date and many languages derive from it. Love from the UK Ari

Idk I have seen all of these 10 times over and some of them still get me emotional, the way people drop all their barriers they had up the second they realize you arent just another strange tourist, they instantly want to talk and share stories.

[@kmart625]

Language is such a beautiful thing. When he started speaking Maasai and everyone instantly just warms up to him and starts smiling you can just see how much they appreciate him speaking their language. It’s an incredible thing to take the time to learn about another culture and especially to learn their language before visiting. Everyone was very nice and understanding that he didn’t get everything perfect but they definitely appreciate the effort.

[@Freshmonchan]

It always astounds me that this man can go anywhere in the world and in 3 weeks can communicate. I would love this ability in life! Just to be able to communicate with everyone in the world and be one together. So much common ground is made through language, that if we could all just talk and be together we would be better for it!!

If you're serious about that desire, then stop wishing, start learning. Xiaoma may be a prodigy but he didn't learn all these languages by wishing to a lamp genie.

I'd like to see you learn Basque. It predates any language in the indo-European tree. I'd like to see how difficult it would be to grasp something unchanged and uninfluenced by its neighbours for thousands and thousand of years

[@lucaslima9792]

But they were influenced. In fact, 4500 years ago invaders from Germany repopulated all of Iberia and the British Isles, but for some reason the invaders continued to use Basque, just like as the Etruscans, that are Indo Europeans but speak the language of the natives before them. This explains why several Indo-European toponyms existed in Iberia even before the arrival of the Celts. The true Basque without any Indo European influence is the "proto Aquitanian ", which is a language reconstruction that shows that words in Basque were much longer and today's version is a shortening version.
