My friend Michael’s (@McPlayGT) hilarious TikTok famous mom owns a nail salon in NYC and we thought it would be funny if I went undercover there and then surprised her by suddenly busting out fluent Mandarin and Cantonese while she was (kinda?) gossiping about me. I didn’t I expected her to be this shocked though!

      Hey Xiaoma, just a suggestion, I think it will be more fun if you'll do it like this... Usually when they hear you speaking their language, they get surprise right? then eventually will respond using their language. When they do, then that's the time you act like you don't understand them then talk back in English asking what they said making it looks like they're hearing things 😂

    Had a similar experience when I was in Tokyo a couple months ago. I'm French, so I didn't expect Japanese people to speak French obviously. I was struggling to get a metro ticket, and a Japanese salary man waited behind me. I felt bad, thinking he was maybe in a hurry, so I stepped back and offered him to go first. He saw that I had picked French on the machine, and he responded to me in perfect French that he could wait. I'm not kidding, at this moment, my mind just went blank 😂 I didn't even realize that he actually spoke French to me, I thought I was hallucinating, and then he went on to explain to me how it worked, all in French. I was just BAFFLED. What an incredible coincidence.

      Well, maybe not as many Japanese study French as study English, and it's true that many of the Japanese who study English don't gain true fluency in English, but French is still a major world language. so it makes sense that you'll find some Japanese who learn French through school and/or who have lived and worked in French-speaking countries, with some acquring high fluency. It's not like a random Japanese person busting out Albanian or Hungarian or Czech (and I am sure you can find some who know those languages as well).
      There's even a French movie called "Hiroshima Mon Amour" that is set in France and features a Japanese actor who speaks his lines in French in the movie.

    I have actually had someone speak to me in my own native language and not understood a word they were saying, not because they were terrible at it, but because my mind was trying to translate the sounds into any other language than the right one. It's a really weird experience, and took me a few seconds to realise I could actually understand everything they were saying.

    Also lady getting the foot bath laughs like a seagull and it’s awesome. Love it when people don’t hide their laughter.

      The long pause was incredible. She was caught off guard and it was awesome. And she really didn't say anything bad. And you can tell she was deeply concerned that she did. After that, she let loose. And it was awesome. This was probably the best "Surprise Mother F*(&(k*, Xiaomanyc has given recently for sure. If not ever.
