White Girl Haggles in Flawless Chinese & Amazes Vendors 😂

- My friend Becca who speaks great Mandarin, some Cantonese, Shanghainese, and GREAT Spanish went bargain hunting and haggling at the Chinese clothing markets in NYC's Flushing Chinatown. We got some crazy discounts!!! A veritable market spree! We walked up to various Chinese vendors, started speaking with them in English, and then switched over mid-conversation to Mandarin and Cantonese (and Fuzhounese, Shanghainese, and Spanish). Their reactions were hilarious! Hope you enjoy this day in our lives! And hopefully this is helpful to you guys in your language learning journeys!
Be sure to check out Becca's website here: www.halfhalftravel.com/ (due to the coronavirus crisis she's not currently able to run her food tour, which you can see here: www.airbnb.com/experiences/14...)

that lady can communicate with 70% of the world
laoshu505000 is like 80-90% then
SayU SayMee Yup, Laoshu is a goat
@@SendItMediaCo Yes and the titles of his videos are also goat.
@@sayusaymee7722 Laoshu can have basic conversations with 80-90% of the world which is extremely impressive(he "knows" more languages than most polyglots) , but Xiaomanyc and Becca are much more fluent in Chinese(Laoshu's main second language), and Spanish(for Becca) than he is so they can have deep conversations in those languages because they've lived there or visited while he has not.
They're all skilled and extremely intelligent people just in different ways. I wish I had the capacity to know even 20% of what they know about languages.
@@sayusaymee7722 laoshu keeps repeating the same sentences since 10 years lol
Ordering in Spanish, while translating to your friend in Chinese who answers in English. Love it!
Come to central Europe were countries only have 1 digit million people. These things happen daily around here. Not Chinese and spanish but with Hungarian, Serbian, German, Slovenian, Croatian and Bosnian and sometimes English
He said wtf if u listen closely
The boy Nicolas 9:52
I caught that too!!
@@raventv9826 but to be honest, Slovenian, Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian are MUCH closer related than English, Chinese and Spanish ^^
When she starts speaking Spanish, you can hear Xioma say “wtf” at 9:52 😂😂😂🤣
N C omg I totally missed that the first time 😂😂😂
I heard that and had to rewind to make sure the f dash dash dash word really made the cut.
And 10:35 🙊
@@nawtyourhuman4968 And the Harry Potter music plays in the background so she may be a wizard as well.
Blade GTR 😂😂💀
Oh, I love the way she said "Queremos dos cafecitos", because it's the way we speak in Canary Islands. Very good spanish, I almost couldn't hear an accent, even the "R" were very well pronounced. If you want to order a coffee without milk, you can say "café solo". Well impressed.
Acento colombiano
What’s funny is how “crazy” he thought it was that she spoke Spanish, which is a much, much easier language for a native English speaker to learn than Chinese.
Right but then she translated spanish to chinese and back!
The woman is a genius
Chinese grammar is similar to english while Spanish is different so I don't think this is true. This is what I've learned from watching Laoshu505000 (he has said the same thing multiple times) and trying to learn Spanish as a native English speaker. Spanish is much easier to write than Chinese but not easier to learn to speak for a native English speaker.
@LE REDDIT COMMANDER Yep, su Español es bastante bueno. Yo soy de España. Her Spanish is so good. Im from Spain and i have understood it very very well and very clean =)
Sounds like you haven't heard about the subjunctive in Spanish. El subjuntivo me da dolor de cabeza!
xiaoma’s reaction to becca speaking spanish is exactly how these chinese speaking natives feel whenever he busts out with his mandarin
I thinks isn’t not the same lol because first of all he doesn’t even know Spanish, (or at least he’s not a native Spanish speaker) and secondly it’s way more common to see a white person speaking Spanish (at least in America) lol like just look at the Dominican lady’s reaction, she wasn’t surprised at all, she was probably thinking “oh great another gringa trying to speak Spanish to me” no big deal
@@agme8045 lol
@@agme8045 Well, she's not another ''gringa''. She really pronounce VERY well spanish. Maybe that's why the dominican girl didn't reacted.
@@oddzzyy5649 "COMANY" 1:51 😂
Ag Me
“He doesn’t even know Spanish”
I love how that comment aged😂👍🏽🙈
At 9:51 I nearly rolled out of my chair from laughing at Xiaoma's reaction. THAT, folks... is genuine confusion and surprise 😂😂😂🤘🤘
What the fuck ha ha epic
i have a love/hate relationship with this channel. on one hand, im very appreciative that they can carry on these languanges in the way they do. on the other hand they make me feel like a lazy piece of shit for not being able to do the same lmao
I feel ya dude lol
Xiaoma is my motivation.
I find solace in the fact that I probably COULD learn multiple languages if I tried, I mean I'm almost at a very basic conversational level in Spanish after 2 years of Spanish I and working at a Texmex restaurant for a year
Am just lazy 🤷♂
@@PsychoticWolfie thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard. ANYONE *can* learn multiple languages. you aren't special. having the potential means nothing since everyone has the potential to learn anything in their lifetimes. the difference between people who can and people who can't is dedication and diligence, which in this case you lack
I gave up after 1.3 (I would say .5 because I can’t read or write but I’m not that good so I’ll give myself .3) languages.
Xiaoma just got his own trick played on him by Becca in Spanish! We need the "boing" sound clip at 10:07 for Xiaoma! Lol ;)
u make no sense
@@guywhotrashtalks6579 he makes perfect sense
@@guywhotrashtalks6579 i guess you're new here
@@drewa3597 CHINESE AUNTIES ARE THE TRUE HAGGLING MASTERS 5:22 😂😂
He got jelly. Now he's learning Spanish lmao
Xiaoma:. Why are we here if they don't understand Chinese
Becca:. Waits to order to show her Spanish wildcard 😀
Great job guys. Always look forward to these videos.
laoshu505000: **hold my beer**
Yeah she is so cool. Element of surprise. Pull out some really good spanish out 😎
@Cory Whitley Bro I heard that and had to rewind to make sure I heard it right, XD I laughed so hard lol
big flex
"I'll give it to you for free!"
"FREE!?!!?"
"now how about you give me a tip?"
man, they got you
I knew she was gonna ask for a tip before the video shows her asking for it. NOTHING is FREE, like FREE healthcare.
Ferocious Ferret Canada
@@bbbzhao7041 Are you joking or trolling me? You do know anything FREE is paid from taxpayers.
@@DecrepitBiden yep. Difference is we get shit for our taxes, unlike the rest of the world
@@jet-fury whoa whoa Americans do too... they get military bases in hundreds of countries and a reputation as a shit hole with insane poverty and wealth inequality that cares more about corporate profits than it's people
Xiaoma's reaction to Becca speaking Spanish was better than any Chinese person hearing any of them speaking Chinese haha.
He needs to resort to disguises now lmao
I just noticed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ensirius like damn there’s a lot of Chinese people who already know him haha
LOOOL sunglasses & a toque, perfect xD
Maybe he needs to go state to state now......all 3 chinatowns in NY know him well by now.
He already does! He’s had to in a few videos.
When she started speaking Spanish I was shook! Very impressive!
adrianibarra deadass, she speaks fluent Chinese, spanish, English but I can barely understand English. Sigh
Right? Being able to speak different languages is so cool! I speak English and Spanish, but want to pick up Japanese and Korean. Seeing this gives me the hope that I’ll be able to do it some day
Check out *laoshu505000* he's very impressive too!
Santiago Aguilar Same here! It really inspires to learn other languages and cultures.
@@sayusaymee7722 - Yeah, Moses rocks!
"you speak better chinese than my son"- my mom talking about me
Lol 😁🤣
🤣
that's because you probably only speaking bad words to you're mam LOL🤣🤣🤣
Oh how the tables have turned!! haha The look on his face when she started speaking spanish was priceless 😂
*Xiaoma speaks Chinese*
*小马说中文*
*Every Chinese mum ever* : you speak better than my son
*每一个中国妈妈都* : 你说的比我儿子好
你应该说是在外国华人妈妈，
张Allen 很有趣，但我不是中国妈妈
得
@@tomlawal7991 WHO'S THE GIRL WALKING IN 2:45 WHAT'S HER IG??
AHAHAHAHA LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE BILINGUAL TOO
7:23 even the lady selling jewelry heard that 🤣
I noticed that too 🤣
Auntie activates the trap card: TIP ME.
How high was the tip though?
Haha, she pulled a uno reverse card on him
Did you learn Chinese just to come here and bargain with me? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That lady is so funny! 😂😂
Xiaoma could not believe that she spoke Spanish, with a Colombian accent
I was thinking she looked Colombian to begin with ahahah.
I want to unsubscribe from him and follow her now, he got owned 😂
Hazel she didn’t have a Colombian accent in my opinion lol
Colombian accent? She used "ito" like in cafecito and had some colombian melody but she has a gringo accent for sure
For me, her accent wasn't Colombian. Sounds more from Spain
She really is fluent in Spanish too that’s insane
si, bastante
@@diego1776 QUU? WHAT U CALL ME? POR FAVOR
Si, de hecho me pareció raro el idioma que hablaron por un segundo, pero luego me di cuenta que era español
Because she's spanish
Learning spanish or any other european language is piece of cake compared to chinese
What I love most about all these videos is the support for small business! From clothes to food it’s really nice to see
She is super intelligent to speak several languages. That is crazy impressive.
And he is not? He speak multiple language as well
Watching your channel NEVER gets old :) Your friend is VERY impressive, throwing out the Spanish amidst Chinese, I love it. Language is a beautiful thing, because it brings people together at home or in far away places... Thank you!~
I LOVE how Becca went from watching your videos to being in your videos. That’s so awesome!
That lady was a legend! She gave it to them for “free” and then asked for a tip! Lmao she got them good
No one:
Not a single soul:
*Every vendors* : well, originally it was 45$
Xiaoma, you should now wear disguises. 🤣 Anyway your friend shooked me when she started talking Spanish too
This episode was very enjoyable.
OMG these vendors are the best con artists, I love that woman saw them leaving and gave them a shirt that was trash to her for a 'tip' of gratitude. Genius way to make a quick $5.
The best thing about you speaking their native language, is the beautiful connection THEY feel. It's your Gift.
I gotta admit, your videos help bring everyone together and make the world so much smaller. Thanks for your contributions. Keep it up! :)
:(
The Spanish caught me of guard I'm spanish and yeah nice
oh yrs!
I like the Columbian accent.
@@cravenmorehead8755, *Colombian
Are you from Spain?
You put a smile on their face and they gave you a discount from their heart - way to go!
White guy: *starts speaking mandarin
Asian guy: "Dude I'm from New Jersey"
Omg , I just found your channel 2 days ago and I’m so addicted to your videos !!!!!!
youtube: wanna watch an American speak Chinese to unexpected people?
Me: I didn't.. but now I'm 20 videos deep and cant stop
As Master Tan would say: "Where do you find these people?"
Alex hahahahaha and then starts to sing
right !!
hahaha
10:36
I like how the Harry Potter music started playing because Xiaoma was like in a "whole different world" being confused
I love how appreciative they are that you speak their language! Especially when you speak Fuzhounese.
When Xiaoma is shocked that Becca can speak Spanish too...I’ll admit, that was impressive. Is she a polyglot?
Accumulated Sense thanks for the clarification on definition.
But since they can speak so many different dialects to the Chinese they r speaking different languages. So kinda agree polyglot. Either way wish I could do that, find both of them very impressive.
I'd say polyglot. English, Spanish, Mandarin and Shanghai dialect. That's at least 4.
No. She only goes with men, not women
She's Multilingual , Laoshu50500 is Polygot .
Me: "I wonder when it is gonna happen"
Random woman at 3:00: "he's better than my son!"
Me: "here we go"
I've definitely heard that multiple times when I speak Chinese when I'm back in America.
That happens so often I think Xiaomanyc should open a conversation cafe or chat club for second generation Americans to practice their Chinese dialects and surprise him.
@@paulgowan2205 SPEAK MANDARIN
NOT IMPRESSED?
SPEAK CANTONESE
STILL NOT IMPRESSED?
HITTEM WIH THE FUZHOUNESE BOIII
It's really incredible to see how people light up when they see someone that is seemingly so different from them and connect through language and culture. We truly are one planet and one people.
She is so adorable! She was smiling like the entire time. Nothing better than a happy soul with good energy.
I'm learning Chinese. Is so fun. My native language is Spanish.
I really love your videos.
Wow I loved that! My wife speaks Shanghainese with her family, and I've picked up some phrases, so this one was especially exciting for me to watch, and his amazed reaction to her spanish was so funny.
The language speaking skills / abilities on display here.. especially when she started chatting in Spanish...wow...good luck guys.. thanks for sharing...!!
Omg such a nice thing to be able to speak multiple languages. The lady literally surprised me even more when she started to speak Spanish. I'm currently speaking 3 languages in Montreal. gotta rly practice more of my french lol. The video inspired me a lot
The only time I ever shocked someone was when my collegue and I were talking Dutch, got intterupted by a Spanish friend in English passing me her order in German to the German bartender while in the middle of that getting interrupted by two french girls, in french asking me if I was Flemish or Waloon seeing the country ID on my badge said Belgium which I replied to in French before adding to my order in German. I'd love to learn a language like Mandarin but it seems intimidating.
What!!!! Cool
You win
so much crap
It's one of the oldest languages, if you forget all you know about other languages before you start learning it will be easy
You can do it!
I like how your friend punked / shocked you with her Español at the end. Nice!
Watching these vids never fails to make me feel good - just watching people share the simple joy of communicating.
I like the look of their faces when you start speaking in their language. It makes me want to learn!!
When he spoke Fuzhounese 7:30 !!! Best reactions!
Especially from the people in the jewelry stall behind them.
Me encanta como dijo "cafecito" y "dulce de leche". 4 de mis palabras favoritas
My fav word is pussy
I think out of everyone’s reaction, Xiaoma’s was the best when he heard his friend speak Spanish lol
The best part of these videos is the joy seen on everyones face with the big genuine smiles!
This might have been my favorite episode so far!
Wow she speak Spanish very fluently!! Her Spanish it’s so good
I love her spanish accent, very spot on!
I like how happy it makes everyone
OKAY! DUDE this was so GOOD! Made me smile the whole time. The chemistry between you two is AMAZZ! I watched me first video from Xiaomanyc like two months ago, SUBBED right away, and it keeps getting more and more interesting. I speak only a little Spanish (which I get to improve often in this SMALL town), and a little Russian (which I NEVER get to use around here). Watching this GREAT channel I have been inspired to use them more. TY for the barrier breaking you guys are doing. :}
Yeah no Russian at all here, but a large Hispanic community.
Best video of his in a while. Everyone was so enthusiastic!
Becca is amazing! My hats off to both of you. Much respect!
Absolutely love these videos. Becca droppin' the mic switching language to language. Envious over here. Got me wishing I was multilingual. Guess it's never too late to learn.
“Michael Scott Paper Comany” 🤣 did y’all not catch that before you bought it
I'd buy that shirt. 😎
Sounds like all the more reason to buy it
Company is misspelled on the shirt. I’d buy it if it weren’t misspelled lol. I love the office
Full price gets you the “p”
Yeah for 25 dollars they got taken for a ride.

@@user-jm3yn2gm9z at this present economic crisis, telling anyone about those assets to invest on, isn't financial advice, but by all factors It is a life advice
People will be kicking themselves in a few years if they miss this precious opportunity to trade and invest in Crypto currency this period.
Crypto currency is making waves and its moving very fast. One must not have it all before you can invest, delay is dangerous.
Lol.This time your friend shocked you speaking Spanish.Your reaction is priceless.Love these videos.
Is it wrong that I find these bargaining ladies interesting? So assertive and clever. 🥰
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that she called him “very fat” ?? That hurt my heart a little
When I was in China the store called me fat and that I should go to the men’s section.
I’m 5’6” and weigh 126 lbs. I wear a size 6 in u.s. clothes.
yeah, kinda mean. but then again, i've met rude retail workers pretty much everywhere
6:30 She teleported in to be like “Daaaaaaaamn King! You cute.”
Hahaha
Ya girl just effortlessly goes from Chinese, to Spanish to English. Impressive. Fun to watch. 💕
These are so wholesome, I can't help but grin while watching.
Oh I enjoyed this very much and you’re reaction!!! Amazing! ✨👌🏼
Best part of the video is Xiaoma’s unexpected reaction to his cohort speaking Spanish lmao 😂.
9:52 "WTF" You were more interested in her Spanish than your coffee!!! ROTFL!!! LOVE IT!! Good videos! Keep it up!
You guys inspire me to learn another language. GREAT JOB muchachos!
The funny thing is she used "Que tal?" which is used more in Central American Spanish than Caribbean Spanish. Just like Chinese, Spanish has its own dialects, though obviously not as nuanced as Chinese. That language is far harder to grasp!
eh, it's used pretty often, maybe not as much, but still widely used.
you also say que tal in Spain
Que tal! Guatemala.
It's because I spent a month and a half in Mexico
False. Qué tal is used by all spanish native speakers. It's formal and educated phrase.
These are so funny, their expression
Love the banter, so funny!
Such great content !! The master of surprises got surprised !! Keep em coming !!
10:35 The Harry Potter music surprised me more than her spanish
Same , I am gonna watch some HP right now I guess
It made me crack up pretty hard
Final inesperado jajaja que bien habla español!!!
9:53 That's it!!! I have to learn Mandarin now! I have been thinking about it but after seeing Becca go full Spanish with a PERFECT accent I have to learn Mandarin because I already know Spanish!! This is so awesome!
She was so awesome hope you do more with her in it
That's pretty cool, that you two linked up just from that chance encounter on the street. Maybe link up for more vids in the future and you go on her channel for a food tour.
Them: XXL too big
Vendor: you wash once, it becomes a small.
hahaha that's true
No no, it's more like wear it and grow up in it.
You guys are awesome! Put a smile on my face
She sure razzle dazzled him with her Spanish 👍😂
You really hype me up to learn Chinese :D Keep it up and take care ^^
Im shock that she can speak spanish too. More power to you sir i love your videos. God bless
This has been my favorite video since I started binging on these!! We were joking about super powers at work a long time ago and I was saying that I’d want to be fluent in every language in the world. This coming from a native English speaker that can’t even master English!!
Love it, best part about being a polyglot is when you can switch into a totally different language at the drop of a hat
6:57 The shopkeeper would like to say "How awesome you guys! Free for you two"送你了!🤣
The one with the glasses....the Chinese woman was an amazing seller.
Wow her spanish is awesome and in fact does sound very colombian even more then my mother but amazing how she can switch so quickly from one language to another
Xiaoma: one of very few white guys that speak fluent Chinese(Mandarin, etc). Also Xiaoma: every white person he knows speaks fluent Chinese lol
Excellent. Thanks
Why do these videos make me smile so much? 😂😂
I haven't been on Main St. in Flushing since the 1960's. The neigborhood has changed greatly.
wow. every Chinese vendor: you speak Chinese - take this discount!
