I've come to the conclusion that Xiaoma just loves authentic foods of all sorts. By learning every language on the planet, he is certain to be able to get fed no matter where he finds himself.
What a legend the beer guy is. He gave you the beer and said “you speak Hindi too?” So he was just giving him a beer for no reason? Love it. Love this channel. Love xiaoma
@@connor5160 sorry to burst your bubble mate but in india curry is part of the main course and to go with beer and other we have our own version of drinking snacks called "chakna" . next time try masala peanuts with beer literally the best beer snack ever.
Hindi has like thousands of accents, so we are comfortable with different sounding pronounciation. Kudos to you man, great work. Visit and do this in India, people will love you.
Any language which is spoken over vast expanse has its regional accent variations, also some of the variations might later turn into another dialects and some even different language.
As a tibetan refugee who was born in India and grown up there, thanks for this video ! ❤️ For me, it's one of the most beautiful country, so diverse, colorful, lively and complexe with the best food !
At 7:38, the guy asked, "India jaana hai kyaa?" (You wanna go to India, is it?). And he misunderstood and said "No, never!" I couldn't stop laughing hehehehe. But his Hindi is great!
You have an incredible way of showing us different cultures in such a respectful manner, I love your videos and you are incredible at what you do Xiaoma!

Even if he may not speak it well they appreciate and respect the very fact they tried to learn a language. Thats not something a lot of people can do nevermind this dude who speaks like 8 different languages
@@kawiianimekitty7472 Everyone can in fact try to learn another language and use the basics in conversation like this, the respect is absolutely earned because Xiaoma puts in the effort, which most of us, especially English speakers, don't bother to do.
How do you stay so thin eating all this good food!! I am a Cancer patient. I have lymphoma cancer, and just completed 8 rounds of chemo. I am getting radiation treatments now. For Chemo I was hospitalized five days at a time every 21 days. I watch your videos because you make me smile and laugh. Thanks for what you do.
I think many of us who want to practice other languages generally have that first barrier to cross; to put yourself out there and understand that there's nothing to be ashamed of when learning new things. :)
I don’t know how you keep all of these languages straight! I’d be trying to speak a sentence and end up coming out with words from several different languages! Amazing! 🤗
My wife is an attorney and her college major was languages. Her senior year she was taking upper level Spanish, French, and German at the same time. I have no clue how she kept them straight. I barely speak English. LOL
That's so funny. I'm an ABC and can understand English, mandarin, and Taiwanese. My parents tend to talk in those 3 languages at the same time. Sometimes within the same sentence. Thank goodness I can understand what they're saying

He is great in chinese but other languages he just learn couple sentences that he need for videos and thats it. Just like Laoshu. Every video they say same thing to people just in diferent languages. At least this boy from new york not wearing earphones translating and helping him reaching millions subscribers
Indian food is so savory and underrated. Some of the spicier stuff will catch a lot of Americans off-guard, but the Bhut Jolokia pepper has a fabulous flavor.
South Asians make some of the best food in the world I feel bad for most American people since they hardly eat such flavorful things in their life and think good food is burgers hotdogs and steaks
tbh, i just like food lol. places like New York are a haven for me cause of how many different cultures are there. I just wanna try every kind of food out there lol

I love your videos. I’m originally a California Native. My first serious boyfriend in high school was Indian. I got schooled in the culture and food from his family. When I speak a little Hindi or Urdu Indians grin from ear to ear! They love when Americans treasure their heritage and love their food.

The absolute joy that comes from the people hearing their mother tongue never fails to put a smile on my face. It’s the greatest respect someone can give to anyone living far from home.
I am very proud of this guy But at 7:37 shopkeeper asked India jaana hai kya( want to go to India) And he said nai kabhi nahi (never) Then he handle it 😂😂 so cute
I love this! As an Indian this makes me super happy. Just one tip - when talking about the foods, your pronunciation slipped, but it can be confusing so completely understand. E.g.., when you are saying "dhal makhani" you should say it like "muck-ni", don't pronounce the second "a". And same with "lassi", we would say "lussi" not "laasi". Hope this helps :)
@@wittypal2608 It's sometimes really hard to recognize some romanized words, especially through English way because English is not written as pronounced (and because it's not my native language and I have been learning Hindi by devanagari).
There is another part of New Jersey known as "Little India" in Metuchen. It has about three miles of Indian food, shops, and just about everything you could want. It's where my love of some authentic Indian food came from when I lived in Jersey
as an indian..I FEEL LIKE OMG LIKE U SPEAK REALLY GOOD HINDI COMPARED TO MOST PEOPLE HERE LIKE WELL DONE MATE. i hope ur hindi speaking journey is been going well

I speak Hebrew, definitely interesting language, pretty hard for Americans to pronounce. But tbh not too many in the diaspora here that speak too well, apart from expats and those working abroad on like a sabbatical from Israel-Palestine.
The smile on people’s faces when you speak their language is soooo fkn heartwarming. Every time I watch your videos I have smile from ear to ear lol good videos brother keep it up
I understood everything you said my dude :D. It's not about learning languages with 100% literacy for me, but just knowing enough to make people smile and indulge a little in their culture. A little interaction helps you recognize how we all have so much more in common than our perceived differences. Great stuff Xiaoma! :D
The grammar is a little off like you said “does they spoke hindi here” But given the fact that you learn a new language every damn hour its super impressive 😭😭😭
I find it very interesting that Speaking in their native tongue makes them smile! They know your putting in effort everywhere you go. And the women all hit on you and smile. Lol
Hindi is a complex language and most people in India take years to understand the rules. He's definitely trying very hard and I am so happy to see him speak Hindi. Seekhte rahiye. All the best 🤗🤗🙌
It's amazing how almost everyone immediately smiles at him when he speaks their language... it takes so little to give a little happiness to others who aren''t just like you
I love language learning. I taught myself Japanese and have had literally no one get upset when I speak it to them, but ever since I started learning Korean... there has been a lot of hate directed at me for it... I don't understand why. I live in Koreatown, Los Angeles, so there's a high Korean population and I feel like it's a 50/50 split of people who think it's great that I'm learning it and people who think it's like... they act like it's cringe or something. I'm not being a koreaboo, I just love languages...
Was that dude just wiping his face and nose right before he served you and made that food by hand? ….. I mean even without covid I would hesitate eating that bro XD
Yes that was really fun! Love to see people smile after being a little guarded. The men seem to be macho then soften up once they see you trying. I'm definitely missing out on all the great foods on the East coast.

I know he's learning with a conversation game plan and learns what he expects to need in the wild, but his ability to sound authentic enough that people consistently don't think he's American is wild.
What strikes me is how you can carry on an interchange of conversation. Speaking is one thing while understanding what was said to you is another. Good job.
There’s definitely that influence of Indian culture from the cross connections of Great Britain and India…it would make sense. I’m part Indian and my maternal grandmothers family came from Britain so I’m connected on both sides. It’s somewhat ironic because British cooking to my knowledge wasn’t known for being super spicy or flavorful.

Been watching your videos back to back with a smile plastered on my face. I love the interactions you have with these different cultures. It's amazing to see you breaking that barrier and seeing people open up. Keep doing what you're doing!
Ive been trying to learn a language for 4 years and still know maybe 10 words 😂😂 you’re so cool knowing so many different languages 💜 keep up the good work
You are an amazing person. I have a difficult time just trying to master English but you are fluent in so many languages and I love watching you interact with the people who speak those languages. Bravo on your latest challenge and I'm with you... I love Indian food too!
WOW...he wiped his nose, multiple times, touched and contaminated food and you ate it! I love your way of integrating into cultures, and speaking so many languages. The beginning of this video and the snotty nose was GROSS.
@@oivinf The one that he got was 'Meetha Paan' which is the sweet version of paan and without tobacco. But you're right.. the normal paan contains tobacco.
I was hoping someone else noticed that, haha!---when he orders inside, it looks like the guy cleaned his hands with sanitizer or a wipe.....but still...that guy was really digging in that nostril lol
True, but if that bothered you a lot (which is understandable), you probably should never eat out anywhere. I think we all like to have this idea that food is prepared fresh in some sanitary bubble and arrives to us in an uncontaminated state, but the truth is that A LOT goes on behind the scenes with people wiping their noses, butts, and everything, and then some small amount of that goes on our food. Bon appetit!🙂
I am born in Canada and I can understand hindi since it's my parents language. You speak hindi pretty good which is impressive but your accent is just ok but it's ok as long as they can understand you that is all that matters.
You are great at what you do. I appreciate your tactful humility when interacting with people of other cultures. You’re a fun combination of educator and entertainer. Bravo
Wait a minute. The first Indian was outside his shop wiping his nose, doing something with the trash I gather. He comes through the door, doesn't wash his hands and is without gloves, handling Xiaoma's food. I was waiting for him to wash his hands or even put on a plastic glove. No wonder COVID is rampant. ON the flip side, even Xiaoma is handling/eating his food without washing his hands, after touching the door. lol Reminds me of the old days when we ate at MacDonalds. WE dont do that anymore, to pay for our food then eat our fries with our unwashed fingers. We have come a long way in three years post COVID.
I love so many things about India. Great job with Hindi, Xiao! You are always so brave to get right in there and speak it with native speakers. How about Bengali? Feel like learning that one? I love the sound of Bengali for some reason.
Its amazing you can even speak this much. I'm also an Indian in NJ! One big tip for speaking proper Hindi is learning to conjugate words differently based on context. "Kya yaha chai milta hai" is close enough to understand, but it sounds awkward to native speakers. Chai is considered a feminine noun, along with many others. "Milta" or any similar word ending with aa sound is usually (not always) masculine. Instead you should say "Kya yaha chai MILTI hai?".
It is absolutely incredible the barriers you break down by being able to speak to people in their own language and they clearly know you are not from their country.
No way man! I was just thinking of you today. I myself am a polyglot too, I speak 7 languages but I plan to learn some more and I am on my way to succeed. I speak English, Russian, German, Polish, Spanish, Serbian (my native) and Hungarian. I use internet a lot for all sorts of things I am curious about. The last language I used it for is Hungarian which is like the 4th hardest one in the world. One of my goals are Japanese and Chinese. I am studying to become a translator one day and I will tell you another reason why I thought of you today. There are a lot of Hungarians in my country and in my city because we are their neighbors and today I spoke to a few, I was on an open air market and I reminded myself of you talking to all those sales people in New York chinatown. They were thrilled :) Keep up the great work my friend, you are goals!
Kannst du deutsch sprechen? Wie lange hat es gedauert bist du eine normale conversation halten konntest? Ich selber bin noch am Anfang. Kann bis jetzt nur Deutsch, Russisch und Englisch.

If you speak hungarian fluently as a foreigner then I think that's enough of validation since that language seems to has been crated only to torture those who learn it
Coool...so sweet stuffs. As a hindi speaking person living in US, I can understand not everyone among Indians understand or speak Hindi here and you spoke better than many...The fact that you thought of this experiment is such a lovely thing...thanks
Don't worry bro they weren't actually laughing at your hindi but they were actually surprised to find an american guy speaking hindi so fluently , they are actually really far away from their country so it was really a moment of happiness for them to find an own countrymen
Hi Xiaoma! Have you ever thought about learning a scandinavian language? I'm swedish, and it would be interesting to hear you speak. Since you have such a talent. Have a nice day and love the chanel👍
@@clearestseb Thats true. And since its covid, it could be hard to travel. But I do know that there are some places where a lot of Swedish Americans live since they immigrated in the 1900
The more languages you learn, the easier it becomes learning another language. Hindi, is Indo European language and has a lot of grammatical similarities of languages of Europe especially Romance languages. If you know Spanish it's easier to construct sentences in Hindi, (considering you've had enough vocabulary) cause both have similar syntax.
Literally kudos to you for being able to speak up and putting yourself out there. I’m literally fluent in Spanish but still get shy to speak it infront of other people outside my family 😭
I have been introduced to Indian culture through various colleagues who have become my dearest friends. It really is a beautiful culture.. the hospitality, the colors, the food, the kindness.. and I love learning all of the stories behind their holidays such as Diwali and Holi.
5:12 - this guy didn’t know u were speaking hindi, so it was probably the girl at the counter that gave u the free beer for speaking it. should have thanked her and got her number or insta 😅
