White Guy Shocks Entire African Family By Speaking Nigerian Languages

- People always seem to have extremely positive reactions to me as a white guy speaking African languages, and I love connecting with people in this way, so I’ve been spending the last three months studying Yoruba and Igbo, both Nigerian languages, and in this video I visit a Nigerian neighborhood in New Jersey to test out my language skills.

Imagine hearing your language and seeing someone has taken the time to learn and come out to the community to be a friend. It’s heartwarming.
Exactly
I do it everyday with English.
@@randallhartung9974 Lol English is basically no 1 language and these Yoruba and Igbo are much harder, Chinese as well. And this guy doesn't even live in Nigeria or China.
Yeah, let's get YT to promote Africans going to European countries and speaking their languages. You think they'd do it, or would that be going against the grain?
the next goal.
I'm waiting for a video with the title "human guy shocks entire bird family by twittering sparrow language"
You called??

anyone who doubts it just needs to see this or some other videos :)
Beautiful.
Beautiful speechless.
Ah yes, I too love quoting degenerate terrorists. What next, Hitler quotes? How about Stalin?
“And if you put a tire around a man’s neck and light it on fire, that goes straight to his soul.” ~Nelson Mandela
To be called "my brother" so genuinely is so heartwarming.
As a Nigerian, I couldn't stop smiling while watching this video. I never thought growing up, one day I would watch a Caucasian in America speaking youruba. God bless you.
Theres a video of an older caucasian American woman who lived in Nigeria in the 1980s, her Yoruba is nearly exceptional and is the best i have ever seen from a caucasian. czcams.com/video/QVp5z7yQvbQ/video.html
I m lucky enough I m able to speak a few languages, but this guy is of a different level....what takes me a month it seems takes him a day. ...
I swear
Thank you for using the proper term "Caucasian"! God bless you friend ♥️
He’s Jewish
It's always the best feeling ever when people get excited because someone else is speaking their language. It's the best feeling because you enjoy it as much as they do. Even just watching this video makes you smile the whole time Haha
Yeah it’s great to see so much positivity around in a gloomy world,, 👍🏻🇬🇧👍🏻 I know practice makes perfect but honestly trying languages is not for me can hardly speak English properly but much respect to others who try and master it
@@crowtales8828 you're missing out seriously missing out. You cannot continue to miss out or you'll be left behind. Grab a dictionary and learn everything on sight before your life passes you in the blind of an eye.
I can’t stop smiling when I see videos like this one. I would love to know the feeling but I only speak English 😭🤣
Your profile picture looks like The Flag of Bahamas
@@nuckingfuts7688 It's never too late to start. You heard him say he started 3 months ago. Imagine if you had started 3 months ago. Either start now or be three months onto the future thinking about how you would have been three months on your way to fluency in another language if you had started three months ago. Just do it it doesn't hurt and if you don't like it there's nothing stopping you from stopping. My advice: Enjoy the process haha!
What blows my mind is how fast he’s able to learn these languages. How does he do it? Is it just some superpower you’re born with? It really inspires me to learn other languages so I can connect with people from other cultures.
I think it helps that he has learned other languages it just makes your brain think differently.
Its quite easy, just learn the words and forget about grammar..... people will automaticly understand you no matter if it was correct or not and will help you.... people get too stuck up about learning EVERYTHING of saidlanguage... and end up giving up before giving it a try..... hard part is getting someone to practice with....
I assume he predicts how the conversation will go and focuses on learning relevant words/phrases
The Man's brain is definitely wired differently. He should be scientifically studied. 😁
It's all about time and discipline. He devotes all his time into it.
He should go back to the first Nigerian store he went to last time and should show them how he improved
I‘m sure they gonna love it !

There’s a channel called Bald and Bankrupt where this guy just travels the world and records it all. He’s a British guy that speaks fluent Russian so a lot of the channel is him in Eastern Europe but he’s explored Africa a bit and has some great videos recording it all.
@@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783 I've watched some of his videos. I'll take a look.
@@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783 A couple years ago there was someone who had a lot of good evidence pointing towards bald and bankrupt being a sex tourist.
@@janis7077 tf is that?
@@Yintheone oh no
I love how gifted he is in learning languages, it’s so impressive.
First reply hehe
Hello!
He is not gifted he just worked very hard studying many languages making it, in the long run, easier than most people to learn a language.
Also as someone who is speaking 4 languages (2 fluent, one conversational, the last still learning) you notice that a lot of language has a lot of similarities, and learning more makes it easier. Give it a try after your second language, the third, fourth, etc becomes easier.
Saying he’s gifted is an insult to how much he actually studies different languages. Anyone can learn a language it just takes time and effort which most people don’t want to put in
Man, just look at the joy this guy gives people by speaking their language.
I'm integrating that statement in my life: "all is peaceful with you?". Such a nice way to greet and connect with people and also protect your peace.
Thank you Yoruban language ♥️
A lot of languages great people like that for example I’m from Turkey and if you want to greet somebody in the Islamic way you say Al Salam Alaykom which means peace be upon you
@@huriye161 yeah, that statement was influenced into Yoruba language from Islam
@@jaddal2215 that's a lie.
@@omoladelekan5139 Here's proof to shut you up. @omoladelekan5139 Salaam wa alaikum = may peace be upon you
Wa alaikum as salaam = and may peace be upon you.
Both common forms of greetings, when Islam reached Africa it heavily influenced their language and culture. Yoruba language has been so much influenced by Arabic through various linguistic borrowings that Yoruba migration is said to come from Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Internal proofs of Yoruba’s early contact with Arabic and Islamic institutions are in the literature of Ifa poetry.
Want more evidence? Or you want to call people liars without doing research?
@@huriye161I love how perfectly you said that.. like phoenirically. Wa-alai-kum salaam sister ❤
Its great to see that auntie really test his skills and grill him a bit.
No John Reeves only John Xena Bing Chilling.
Yes she's building his character by grilling him 😂
@@shiro182 its what Nigerian aunties are best at 😂😂
That was like a language-learning bossfight. And he did great :O
Shes not kidding either, if he wants to learn more she would work with him..I have no doubt she would.
I spoke Chinese with someone yesterday! I'd been working up the courage and practice with a stranger, but you and Laoushu gave me strength!! My heart was pounding but it was so rewarding
RIP Laoushu 🤲
That’s amazing :)
Laoushu? Is that someone's name? Or are you trying to say laoshi? (teacher)
Not judging btw, Chinese is hard and maybe youre only learning for conversation which is not a bad place to start. Mistakes are natural and its only by making them do you learn.
@@jeanetten.s.8557 he was another language youtuber, amazing linguist, passed away a lil bit ago
@@jeanetten.s.8557 I think Laoshu (rip) said his name means mouse in Mandarin or something to the fact.
Nigerians have the best vibes! You can tell how genuinely happy and appreciative they are to hear someone speak their language. Nigerians are awesome people! ❤️
as a nigerian, thank for saying this ❤❤
It’s true. I’m married to one.
I can already hear Laoshu's infamous laugh when people would freak out. I know he's up there smiling bc they legacy continues and the polyglot community is expanding daily!
How did he die!!
@@richardcarroll9864 I know it is late, but eart complications.
To hear " all is peaceful with you?" is a wonderful greeting.
I though the same thing.
@@Makethemostofit1 and then murder the infidel very peaceful
The traditional response is Adúpé meaning We're thankful(to God)
You are continuing Laoshu's legacy of bringing the world together through the gift of breaking language barriers and delighting the unexpected Native speakers. The world needs togetherness is these trying times. Been watching your channel for years and your passion remains. Thank you for making my day a little brighter
Big facts every time I watch these kinds of videos I keep thinking about Laoshu :( rip
@@maaz2897 what happened?
@@fartsniffer7861 heart attack, I believe
Laoshu was such a nice guy. I remember when I was learning some Slavic languages and came across his channel when he only had a few thousand subs. Asked him what his techniques were and he was really nice in responding to me. I bought his learning system and it was really such a clever and fun approach to learning languages. His style of video was so unique and addictive too. So sad.
@@lance_wavy His brother has a video on youtube, he doesn't believe it was a heart attack, he believes it was murder
African people are truly friendly and you can easily make good friends with them. Especially the Nigerian. I live in Seoul and the Nigerian here are so nice, they don't hesitate to help you. And for them hearing someone speaking Yoruba, they will be super excited and happy to see that people are learning the language with interest😊
I believe this is what America should be.. a giant melting pot of different cultures, where everyone can take the time and learn about other cultures instead of almost gatekeeping like we see a lot of today.. awesome man
Makes you wonder why it's so hard for some people
I’ve seen this same comment on every post
@@nicholasl8537 it’s almost like some people think similarly

Of course, anythin' a red person does is wonderful in da eyes of fools like ya but a black man could move a mountain n black folks gonna despise him still. Y'all is hell-bound.
I agree
It’s not that deep
He has such an amazing personality and i particularly love his vulnerability... Unlike a certain CZcamsr called Sabbatical who happens to be a cheap American knockoff trying to copy Xiaomanyc's script. Sabbatical is so rude and condescending to black Africans & Nigerians... He only focuses on poverty in Africa and he only visits slums and ghettos in African countries... Oh, & he blocks people who disagrees with him or those who complain about his negative portrayal of Africa & black people.
Xiaomanyc is such a breath of fresh air.
The people are so warm and inviting. This is wonderful to watch. Americans need to watch and learn how to behave like this
100%, I'm always humbled with the ability to create love by just communication.
I hardly think it’s just Americans who need to emulate this man. Start with yourself instead of pointing fingers at others. You’re nowhere near the level you think everyone else should be.
Americans are so distrustful of each other except, maybe, in small towns but there they are distrustful of everyone not from their area.
This is legit wholesome stuff. As soon as people from different cultures see that they're both making an effort to understand each other and learn it immediately shows just how similar each other really is. Wish this extended to the rest of humanity.
Heartwarming AF.

Exactly what I was going to write. The excitement just makes you feel good.
As a Nigerian, I always smile whenever I watch these videos. My jaw dropped when you spoke Igbo. Very difficult to learn 😅
Me 2
This attitude is one that is most certainly going to save the USA. As an ignorant Irish Bostonian that only knows Spanish and English, you have convinced me to study other languages so that I don’t miss beautiful moments like this . Congratulations my man, you are an inspiration.
These videos are so inspiring. Xiaoma, thank you for sharing. As a brit with Nigerian heritage who doesn’t even speak Yoruba, you have definitely inspired me to learn. Thank you 🙏🏾
Do learn it, Rachel. I'm 72 year old Caucasian woman and I'm inspired as well.
"It's very complex, and unfortunately I'm out of practice."

@@_madam_pickles7743 How good would you say Your Yoruba is at this point. And what part of Nigeria do you reside?
@@SL-pg4dh I can maintain a conversation like him, but I think I have way better pronunciation because I have been around Yoruba people for years now. I understand almost everything people are saying around me and even if there is words I don’t understand I will connect it somehow and understand the meaning. When it comes to older generations here, I find it more difficult to communicate because their Yoruba is “deeper”.
I’m staying in Lagos, I have lived in different parts of it and I’m currently in Ikorodu (one village close to it).
@@_madam_pickles7743 Cheers. I'm a Lagos born Yoruba guy living in the U.S. It's difficult for even us city folks to understand the older people at times as well.
These days it feels like it’s so much division and tension . People stay in their bubble and argue other people who don’t think the same way.
This man is a great example of bringing people together. That’s why I love his videos.

African black people are my favorite type of black peoples.
I mean, every time I try to speak my native tongue in my country, I always get told shit like 'No one understands you (people I'm not even talking to) speak english' or 'Don't speak that in here.'
I love how they become so friendly and smiling hugging him like you're family now is so nice
Just look at the friendship and laughter that develops when the people he meets realise he's taken the time and effort to learn their language.
Ari needs to be the UN Ambassador. These people's smiles tell me everything.
Unfortunately, Nigerians will love you until you become their leader or representative, then they'll hate you. Nigerians tend to blame all their problems, failures and sorrows on their leaders... They have a strange relationship with authority figures.
@@axamia that is pretty much the case in every country I have visited. It's a universal human feature to blame the leaders, many times rightfully so 😁
@@axamia Nobody likes the UN ya weirdo
Love that that dude instantly recognized him
this guy is so cool and it must be so hard to learn so many languages, regardless of his natural ability . He spreads joy 24/7 all year round :)
So impressed can imagine how much dedication it takes to learn a language to this level... what an inspiration!
When you have a Nigerian guy giving something to Xiaoma saying, "This is for my brother...."
you know that there is hope for the world.
The faces of the Nigerian people really light up hearing him speak. They all appreciate the work he put in to speak so well.
2:21 now THAT is a powerful woman! Totally dominates the situation....she moves in, takes control....she wants the Yoruba speaking white guy to accompany her to Nigeria....haha...what a woman!! I love that woman...!!
What a wonderful way to knock down barriers and bring happiness to complete strangers. Your skill at languages is astounding. Your talent should be noticed by the entertainment business and turn this into potentially the best reality show ever. Keep it up.
don’t stop what you’re doing man. you’re naturally gifted in learning languages and connecting with people. it brings me joyful tears seeing the connection you have with people
omg please dont end your life youre so worth it
@Deadpoppin uhm roe v who :3?
THIS is how people come together. Show interest, and interact. People are people, and when you show them such respect and genuine interest in their culture; they notice.
Why should I? They are in the US. They need to assimilate to the cultures here not the other way around.
@@S3din American culture is literally built on many different cultures. It is the intertwining of these cultures that makes America what it is. That is exactly why America has no official language.
@@S3din People like you are part of the problem. The US was literally established by immigrants. We also have no official language. Those who move here should not have to assimilate, just follow and respect our laws.
This was a good comment but the only reply is someone entirely missing the point
@@S3din Way to miss the point. The U.S has no concrete “culture”, but is instead a combination of others, which is why the way of life is commonly referred to as a melting pot/salad.
People who come to the U.S shouldn’t assimilate, but instead integrate their own culture.
Even as a non-yoruba Nigerian that have spent years in Lagos, Kwara & Ibadan; I can't beat this guy in yourba speaking. Prolly a matter of interest and dedication.
The wonderful part of breaking the language barrier is the bond you make with strangers, especially when the language is so rarely spoken that people will go head over heels when they find out who they can chat with.
the man's laugh at around 6 mins is literally the best happiest sound ever
People are happy cause you are showing their culture respect by taking the time to learn the language. Not only to be able to mingle with them, but learning the language of the land you're in/or plan to visit shows you plan to try to integrate, and not force them to try to understand YOU. It shows your open to learning and accepting other's
Excellent comment that is typically hidden on CZcams since it actually works to bring people together--as opposed to the other comments.
America needs so much more of this badly
@@rachkate76 Indeed we do. Being kind and respectful without the prejudice and racism would be fantastic.
Yes. When my family moved to Switzerland they learned German and integrated with their way of life. I was born there and grew up speaking high Germans and also Swiss German. And due to the way we confirmed to their rules, for example the ‘quiet hour’ at lunch, no washing on Sundays etc and just generally their lifestyle, now living back in England it really grinds me gears when people move here and don’t even try to conform in any way, you do see this a lot in the Muslim community. Ofcourse not EVERYONE is like that. But they form their own communities not speaking to the English at allZ
What wonderful people the Nigerians are, fully embracing you 🙏 🇳🇬
I just love how beautiful interations between human beings can be, when there is no political or religious axe to grind, or assumptive prejudice in sight. Just total respect for each other, which brings a tear to my eye. The interations restore my faith in humanity. Huge..huge, respect!
I’m half Nigerian and can only just about understand some Igbo. The fact he learnt this and can speak it at all is legit incredible. Such a hard language to pick up. I’m telling you, he’s the REAL deal. I’ve learnt french, Spanish, German in the past and these are far easier to understand. Keep it up man, love this content
What's German for shithouse?

Nigerians are so kind! This was awesome, my grandfather was stationed in Nigeria with the US Navy about 30 years ago, he never picked up the language but would send back pictures and bring back things all of the time. I would love to visit sometime. I need to learn some of their language.
In Egypt we have huge love for nigerians, they're always the nicest people to be around. My chemistry teacher was nigerian and we always had plans to go there, hopefully I can soon.

Man, I get emotional and teary thinking about a future when every person would be able to communicate with eachother without any language barriers ! Just the sheer excitement connecting and being able to understood by the people that are alien to your brain.
5:46 that laugh says everything. People want to feel a sense of belonging and community. Even just a little trying (language/customs) goes a LONG way.

It just speaks volumes how genuinely happy people are when someone makes the effort to learn their culture and language - its like opening a door - amazing.

Man. These videos always make my day brighter man. People always will get happy when you appreciate their culture and try to communicate with it. It’s the proof we can all learn to understand each other and achieve harmony.
It’s just so damn beautiful. Idk man. This gets me so emotional. Not to mention it makes wanna learn new languages too.
You’re amazing dude. Keep up the awesome work.
Two things- 1) I am insanely envious (lol) as how quickly you pick up other languages. You truly have a gift. Second- I love how appreciative native speakers are when they hear you speak. While I'm not fluent in anything but English, learning a few key phrases and customs when traveling overseas, is just so appreciated by natives.
This is the most wholesome content on the internet. In a time of division, I love to see the sense of community between different backgrounds.
I love the genuine connection that comes with speaking with a perdón in their first language. It intensifies the connection made I feel
This is why I want to become a polyglot. Starting with Spanish to speak to some family, but I want to learn a LOT of languages

Auntie throws down with the accelerated test cycle... LOVE the love. Everyone just wanting to help support :D
Has anyone else been studying a language for hours a day but doesn't make near as much progress as Ari does?
You need to learn a script of the most common questions/answers, it's the same technique Laoshu50500 used (May he rest in peace). If you notice what people ask and say, it's generally quite similar. Where did you learn from, why do you speak it? etc
Practicing and listening a lot is faster than studying grammar and trying to improve your vocabulary from books.

Laoshu mever got the recognition he truly deserved man it what kills me
I can watch you all day! So impressive and you are so kind and respectful it’s a joy to watch. Bravo!
I still think he needs to become the UN Ambassador. He puts smiles on everyone's faces and that is something that is very rare.
You should watch some of Laoshu. Test your open-mindedness....
My favourite part of this channel is all the kind people he meets. The lady who was super ready to teach him more warmed my heart.
0:48 "Are you sure you are an American?"
"well according to my mum I am"

He's really applying himself more and more to doing this sort of thing. Following Moses' footsteps. He's gonna go far I can already tell, Moses would be proud I reckon
I love this dude so much! In a crappy world, he makes foreigners so happy. If only we all knew how to speak to each other.
It’s great to see your love for other cultures, and it must mean so much to all these people that you took the time to learn their language.
Oh, this was so much fun seeing people connect this way. So inspirational.
I wish I could pick up languages like you do. I love other cultures, and to honor them by conversing in their own language is something I've always wished I could do. Wish life wasn't so dang stressful right now. I might have an eaiser time than I think. Anyways, absolutely love your videos, and they always plaster a smile on my face. 💜
this man is literal proof of the saying “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
Watching the smiles you bring to others when they hear you speak their language can only spread love and happiness! Keep doing what you do brother! 🍺
I love the good spirited hearts of Nigerian people. They are beautiful and funny. God bless them.
It's so lovely how happy these people are when you speak their language. Most Westerners don't pay any attention to African languages so it's appreciated all the time you take to learn and interact with people from Nigeria. You seem very authentic. Love yr channel. I always smile through them. Thank you!x
Learning the language of another’s culture seems to truly earn their respect. I’ve learned a lot from watching your content, congratulations on becoming a father. You’ll be an amazing dad.
I had a Nigerian professor in college, and he was a beautiful soul. These folks all seem like him. Lots of joy and pride in where they came from.
People react so warmly to you because your effort to learn their language is an act of love. So heartwarming to see!
This guy must just hear something and it instantly sticks in his brain - unbelievable
Having a linguistic mind is for sure a thing but it's more the dedication to learn that I find impressive.
It’s so nice to see how Xiaoma is learning all these languages and going around speaking with natives like Laoshu did. It’s inspiring to see Xiaoma continue that legacy.
The world has so much to learn from this channel. Straight up heartwarming - One Love!
I love how you bring unity! That’s what we need more of.
This is amazing !
Most polyglot youtubers don't take up mainland African languages. Keep it up ! 💯 👏
The language is so beautiful! I would love to learn. I love Nigerian people ❤️
I love how happy you make people in your videos by learning about their language and culture. Need more people like yourself in the world these days 👍🏻
This makes my day .
You are a breath of fresh air and it’s so nice to see people smiling .
