- Today I'm in London Chinatown where I bust out my Mandarin and some Cantonese and Fuzhounese and try to speak with the Chinese locals in their language. It was such a cool experience speaking Chinese in the United Kingdom!

Hi
Ok!!
Has anyone taken xiaoman Chinese course ? I’ve been really wanting to learn but wanted to see if anyone else has had a good experience taking his course.
@@crespojay155 same here, please let me know if you find any honest reviews
how bout Chinese tourist speaks flawless English? I was busting out my English pretty hard in UK.
That dude who said he had dinner with Biden in 1997 and didn't like him is freakin hilarious.
And BASED.
even the Chinese guy knows that Biden is a communist. LOL
He was so funny I love it
LMAO I laughed so hard at this, even he knows Biden sucks.
@@c.i.a.9606 LOL same, I also found it hilarious
The smile on the Chinese Calligraphist’s face on listening Xioma speak Mandarin & Fuzhounese warmed up my heart! It indeed is a serene feeling to talk to someone in your language in a foreign land!
absolutely wholesome.
What you said. Yes!!! Warms the heart!
Was very cute ♡♡
His reaction was the best. Lol
Hellll yea. Very smart, normal, and kind guy. Seems like a genuine guy, I could watch hours of this content
You know it’s going to be a good reaction when someone says “I’m from Fujian.”
You can see Xiaoma smile getting ready to unleash some Fuzhounese dialect.
Hahahahaha exactly the moment I've been waiting for!!!
Unleash hahaha
It's like a level up moment for Xiaoma.
Reminds me of Laoshu's Cantonese moments
For a dialect with supposedly only 10 million speakers, they seem to be fairly common in these videos, maybe there's more than they've counted, quite odd
That guy got SO happy when he spoke in his native language. I don’t think people realize how easily language can bring people together. I’m Hispanic and it honestly makes us SO happy when someone at least tries to communicate in Spanish. It really breaks the barrier.
Gives us a good laugh too gotta co worker at work who doesnt know a lot of Spanish buh speaks Spanish to us when she can
@@Elchinoalto you gotta appreciate the attempt, even if it’s completely butchered haha
He said our boy was the 2nd person today
I've also heard that some Hispanic people get offended when you try to speak to them in Spanish. I'm a bit scared to despite being able to speak some Spanish.
@@triple7marc honestly if they get offended then they’re just rude. No one is born mastering a language, even children have to learn how to speak. Don’t be afraid, I guarantee you majority will be delighted that you’re trying.
The calligraphy guy's scene was absolutely wholesome.
Chinese guy: where are you from?
Xiaomanyc: USA
Chinese guy: That Biden guy is not good.
Lmao 😂 he talked about Biden out of nowhere like he was waiting for this moment for a while 😂
@@norpriest521 bro he had dinner with biden back in dublin in 1997 LOL
Chinese guy isn't lying about Biden though lol
ppl from china know whats up they came from the ccp
@@StayFr0sty Xiaoma should have asked why Biden was no good. Maybe there where a funny grabbing story hidden there.
The painter guy was such a nice guy. His laugh and positive energy was contagious.
Then he talked about Biden out of the blue lmao 😂
That one had me rolling
@@norpriest521 That's do to biden pushing socialism just many people wont always come out and say it. I talk to people who escaped those country's from time to time and they hate Biden and democrats.
@@norpriest521 that one made my night. Even a Chinese guy living in London hates biden. Welcome to the club my friend.
@@tommyshelby4803 - He's just learning English... so he doesn't know the colloquial American terms like "Let's go Brandon".
@@darkwolf9ball I knew someone would bring the hate to this otherwise uplifting video.
1:16 he was so happy to hear his mother tongue being spoken. I know the feeling. When I was out of town for two years, the only place I heard my mother tongue was from the voice in my own head.
1:20 This guy is so full of positivity, I love it.
Chinese guy: where are you from?
Xiaomanyc: USA
Chinese guy: That Biden guy is not good.
Lmao he talked about Biden out of nowhere like he was waiting to trash talk Biden for a while but there was no one to talk to 😂
Most popular president in history, you know.
The world knows O'Biden gate is Bad 👎 Fuxk MSM and the Demoncrats.
Xiaoma prolly a democrat but it doesnt matter 😘
I think we all didn’t like trump but in comparison to Biden he’s a saint lol
Glad someone caught that, lol
The Chinese dude that does Calligraphy is a mood ngl 😂
Soo much energy at that age, imagine when he was younger 😂
That's London for ya, a place where guys like him fit in pretty normally
Dude is based
Dude knows his stuff lol. " that biden guy no good" haha
LMAO he cursed in chinese too but the sub didn't put it in.
"Oh well that biden guy is no good" XD I FRICKING DIED
Biden has been the most pro-Taiwan US president, probably ever. So yeah, some Chinese aren't going to love him.
Anybody else binge watching all his videos? They're all so wholesome. Makes we want to learn a couple new languages and travel the world!
Yep
I have watched at least 50 in the last 3 days lol
As a British guy who's been around Chinatown countless times, it's so surreal seeing Xiaoma there. I actually recognise the guy at 00:55, I've seen him there a few times lol
Ain’t that a cool coincidence
I literally walked around here every other week 😂 I wish I was able to meet him
did you have lunch with him and Biden in 97?
did you have a fight with him in fuqing?
Where are you?
Never gets old.... like everyone's favorite meal at their favorite restaurant... watching you chat with folks in Chinese is always great!
This is the same exact sentiment i scrolled down to post. hahah
It doesn’t get old, does it? Great watching.
www.youtubekh.com/watch?v=QYf1BzIptNZ
So true
Chinese guy: where are you from?
Xiaomanyc: USA
Chinese guy: That Biden guy is not good.
Lmao 😂 he talked about Biden out of nowhere like he was waiting for this moment for a while 😂
You can certainly tell how much these people appreciate him knowing their language. That's gotta be pretty gratifying
1:36 he laughs like a south park character haha
I never get tired of seeing the smile on people's faces when someone speaks to them in their home language. Especially when they are living far from their country of origin.
I imagine it's even better when it's a minor language like the African language videos he made not long ago. Like theres valid reasons to learn Chinese because it's kinda international but not really the African languages unless you plan to move there and even then you can often get away with international languages (like English or French).
To a lesser degree also minor European languages, but they also have more similarities to English so not as impressive as learning some random minor African language.
Ikr it’s so wholesome and enjoyable to see.
My dad left his rural area in Italy when he was young because the Mafia had started becoming more influential.
He's from a small mountain town in Reggio Calabria; he's almost 70 now, but nothing and I mean nothing gets him going more than when somebody speaks Italian, and he lights up even more when they're Calabrese.
It's almost always a double take and then a bright smile.
It almost sounded like the old lady in the beginning was speaking Hakka! It's the dialect I speak and it sounded quite similar but there are always regional differences. Sounded like she was saying "I just saw you and thought where were you born hahaha". That's my best guess!
Are you sure? I speak Hakka and it’s my dialect. I can’t really hear her clearly but what I heard was “ let me see him, let me see which Bao he picks”
Xiaoma was caught off guard by hakka language it seems...
That first guys reaction is absolutely priceless and hilarious. The absolute shock in his face. 😂
Ikr what a hell of a way to introduce the whole video 😂🤣👌
It’s so cool to watch people absolutely light up when they hear someone speak their language!!
The calligraphy guy needs to be a guest on Question Time. He's got Biden sussed. 🤣
He knew Biden was no good many years ago 👍
@@ccriztoff least gay sam hyde fan
That calligraphy dude is cool and had a great personality. I would love to know his story.
He got dinner with Biden in '97!
same I really wanted to know too how he ended up at a dinner with bide
@B Sell nah thats not drug bro
1:50 Omg I love this guys energy so much lol
I love the joy you bring to people by just knowing their languge. Its beautiful to watch
The guy in the white tshirt was clearly super happy and having a great time!
He reminded me of the tailor in Kung Fu Hustle
"Are you the boss here?" .. "He is just a handsome guy" .. lol, loved that moment. Xiaomayc and the two Chinese staff understood what was happening while that guy kept putting on a show.
What was happening? The guy was just a weirdo, right?
@@Daniel-gz1nf i think the guy is their manager. lol
@@lalalala-cs3tn No...He's just a handsome guy,
his job is to get customers in🤣
He's probably Turkish
These videos always puts a smile on my face, when he switches language its like they open up their hearts.
The smiles you bring people is so wholesome to watch. Thank you for making these videos, what an extraordinary talent you have for language and human connection. Wonderful to watch :)
i love how the cashier lady just got completely caught off guard when she realized he understood her conversation 😆😆
She was trying to recount how long g he'd been standing there and just what she had said while he was there ;)
@@joelcrow yeah hahaa she was like shit what have I been saying
"Can you hold the fort while imma go take a big dump?" ..... "Oh u speak chinese?"
For me that was the best in the whole video, she was like, did i just hear that, it was perfect.
@@jeffrey5602 haha yeah. That’s what I was thinking
that guy doing calligraphy was an absolute G!!!
You would be too if you had dinner with Biden in '97
@@ZoosheeStudio 97 feet? The apostrophe goes on the left to indicate omitting the 19 from 1997.
@Robert Anhalt You're telling me you never had dinner with Biden in 97 feet? For real though, that makes sense. I've seen it both ways before, but I learned something today.
Besides loving languages, what I love about your videos is how nice all of the ethnicities are. It gives me hope the world can be better. They just love when you love their culture.
I absolutely love how th language breaks down the barriers to the actions and you can see the real people and not just an action with no understanding. Freaking awesome video with the artist.
this is a certified hood classic.
this isnt even a song 💀
I like ya cut g🤣
yeet you say this on every Xiaoma clip :P
Hahahaha
🤣🤣🤣
Grandma at the end was cool "Well lets all get Rich!". I hear that. Always fun to watch you in action my friend. Love seeing the genuine expressions of Gratitude from the people you're talking to in their native language.
Nothing makes me smile harder than these videos I swear. Those people are so genuinely touched by how well he can speak.
This is genuinely happiness on their faces I love it
2:06 facts
I can't speak Chinese all that well but I know enough to know he didn't say "Didn't like him!" at 2:16 LOLOLOL.
These videos are getting better and better. Absolutely love them.
Those videos are just so sympathetic! I love it!
Xiaoma's language skills never ceases to amaze me. Fluency in a language is hard to achieve. Even as a Chinese trying to learn Japanese myself, there are some connections but much are still foreign concepts.
I speak Japanese trying to learn Chinese! It helps with the reading but the speaking is so different
Well the similarities are just writing, the languages aren't related. Lots of loanwords though
I like learning both, and it's easier with some similar kanji. The completely different pronunciations helps lmao
As an English speaker trying to learn any asian language I find the languages use abstracts much more which is hard to understand without experiencing it.
”他妈的” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 calligraphy guy was a trip
I understood bc that's the only thing I know in Chinese haha
I understood cause of google translate 😏
Flower bridge
I really have no intention of learning Mandarin but conversing with eccentric Chinese people seems worth it.
He looks like my father in law’s twin!
I so want to learn Mandarin as well, the type of interactions he has with random strangers are so wholesome.
That man Is an amazing kind soul we need more people like him warms my heart and make me want to meet ppl
1:09 " Me know too much" I like this dude 😂
This video feels so short, man. Really enjoyable to watch.
Man. The amount of amazing interactions you otherwise wouldn’t have gotten is truly awe inspiring. You meet such awesome people. Thanks for sharing !
This is the kind of wholesome content the world needs to see more of. Thank you for this!
I’ve been binge watching yours and Laoshu’s videos, and it’s totally inspired me. Not only have I starting practicing my mother tongue (Spanish) again (which I’ve had a major mental block to learning for years), I’ve also starting learning Portuguese to speak with my coworkers. Downloaded Duolingo today and I’m already nearing 2000xp. Keep up the amazing work!
RIP Laoshu!
Keep up the work! Wish u the best
What is an xp
@@benjr6214 Experience?
@@Kyuaei no, what is an xp.
2:02 I have to, HAVE TO see what that guy said about eating with Biden in Dublin before the Good Friday Agreement.
I loved the instant smile from the street artist as soon as he was able to communicate in his native tongue. These videos never get old. Simply amazing. ❤
infectious smiles, these are the popular feel good videos that should more often show up on trending
Even a Chinese man living in London England doesn’t like Joe Biden 😂
He won't ever forget a bad meal!
The entire world feels that way. We (Americans) are the only ones who buy into the media's mass brainwashing. It's not just politics, either. From the 3,000 gender movement to the poor social discourse, we're the laughing stock of the world.
@@ml.frossard You've effectively proven my point.
@@ml.frossard "If you dont vote for me than you ain't black" Joe Biden..
@@Write-Stuff A rare sighting of the self aware american
I love seeing the reactions from people when they see that you can speak in mandarin. 👏🏽
I can’t help smiling the whole way through!🥰
Quite possibly the coolest videos on CZcams man. Makes me really happy seeing you interact and speak to so many different people from so many different places. Awesome!
Never gets old :-) Love the faces they make ;-)
That Chinese dude in the white shirt was like me on my sixth coffee
😂😂😂
I really wanna learn a language. Or even a few later on in life. It opens people up so much to know you care enough to learn even the basics of their language. It’s so connecting.
The people you meet when speaking different languages are amazing
These are a lot f fun. When you pop them with Fuzhounese they definitely have great respect for your skills.
i love seeing people being dumbfounded when XIao speaks their language
Your videos make me smile. Thank you ❤
aw man these videos are amazing, really carrying on the spirit of laoshu, brings tears to my eyes
I love the calligraphy guy, his smile was so genuine and I love when he said "Biden no good" I know a more than a few that would totally agree.🤣
Yeah so wholesome (:
I am sure he meant to say orange crook but got confused
@@GMunoz-oj5zb LOL, you really can't accept that Biden is a loser huh
Here's a skit for you:
Go in to a store with another person who speaks Chinese.
Talk to the clerk in English.
Then argue with the friend in Chinese about the color or taste of the product.
The goal is to argue in Chinese to each other and speak to the clerk in English.
i'm crying bc of this LMAOOO
Love it. Lol
They did something similar, asking for directions to the metro or something.
I love your laugh...Its F-N infectious and makes everyone smile. Love your videos!
I absolutely love this channel.
this is a certified Chinese classic
I just wanted to say that your videos are the perfect balance to how badly everything is on the news now.
Language connects people, you can see it in everyone who genuinely smiles when you talk with them.
1:30 is the most South Park-esque stereotypical Asian I’ve ever seen LMAOOO
This is just such a cool thing to be able to do. The possibilities you open up for yourself are endless. CZcams is obviously a great route but any company would be incredibly fortunate to have someone with this ability!
xiaoma gets bored with impressing everyone in NYC with his mandarin. so he flys to london to spice it up haha
Or Mexico 😂
1:45 made my day !!!
Xiaomannyc thank you for inspiring me I have gotten better at spanish and currently learning different languages in a few samples many beautiful people in this world thank you.
I love the pure joy people get out of him speaking their language
"are you the boss here?"
the other man: "he's just a handsome guy"
brooo idk why i laughed so hard there🤣
He said it like it was his job. Just stand outside and be handsome.
0:40 That’s rare for Xiaoma not to understand that dialect
There are too many to learn - hundreds
I'd be really curious to know what she said and in what dialect.
Such wholesome video man !!!
Xiaomanyc's encounters warm the cockles of my heart....
That calligrapher is officially my favourite NPC in Xiaoman's adventures LOL
Npc lmao
What I always loved seeing and noticed growing up, is that speaking different languages gives you the ability to banter and connect with folks from all over. Nothing like roasting each other in another language. That's tears down walls.
I can barely speak english so am impressed by your natural talent of languages.what I am most happy with is the instant warmth between all ethnic groups and connection by showing an interest in language and culture.I am so jealous of your talent and wish that I had any of your ability because I want to explore all the world however lack any linguistic ability. GOOD for you
Beautiful. You are and everyone in the videos. Is heartwarming
These bring me genuine joy. It's sad so many people never realize how amazing it is to learn and interact like this.
It makes me sooo happy when people gets excited to speak in their native language🧡🧡🧡🌻Main inspiration to learn languages!
These videos always brighten my day
Great reaction from the artist. That was the best.
This was an unexpected pleasure! I live not even an hour from central London and Chinatown is like second home to me. Since a lot of the places I usually visit while up there (Japan Centre, Las Vegas arcade in SoHo, Forbidden Planet ect, I'm a nerd) I always make the effort to just walk through and bask in the smells, the people, it's a very humbling area.
The Kowloon restaurant & bakery have super delicious products there! The people of China are such hard workers, I can't imagine the struggle of being an immigrant but they've succeeded in so much and I'm proud to see their faces whenever I'm there.
Cheers for visiting them us!
I never get tired of the shocked look. I also love how much respect you give each language and dialect.
I love the fact that these chinese ppl are so astonished to see xioman see chinese.hey man i think ur great and u have a very humble nature.God bless u.
Wow you are awsome. So refreshing watching your channel. Just nice happy people.
This was too short but I loved it
As someone who knows both Mandarin and Fuzhounese, the way the tattoo artist was speaking (tone and energy-wise) was very accurate in how my parents are when with family and friends. I thought it was absolutely hysterical when he said "you speak Fuzhounese?" cuz he said it with such energy that I would personally say that it was more on par with him saying "This mf knows Fuzhounese too!"
Keep them coming.
The fujinese artist was so sweet lol he was so happy and entertained
Love your vids man, hahah the old man's so cute, his reaction lol 😂
That guy *shitting on Biden* was the best part lmao
That calligrapher has amazing energy! His smile and genuine delight at your cultural appreciation warmed my heart. 我希望他有一个惊人的一天。💜
