Two Latino Polyglots Went To Chinatown… THIS Happened…
My friend Brian (Argentinian Food Vlogger in China) came to visit DC! I guess we both qualify as polyglots and speak 4 of the same languages, so we decided to go out in Rockville, i.e. the largest “Chinatown” in Washington, D.C. to make some friends. I’m not really sure what we qualify as? Latinos speaking Chinese? White guys speaking Chinese? Anyway, I had to run some errands and we had a great a chat where we surprised the people working there and they had some funny reactions!
I love learning foreign languages because you get to meet and have conversations with people in a way that you probably never would otherwise. So if you’re looking to learn Chinese or any other language, definitely do it!
Also, Brian and I went to try Chinese cupping! If this video gets 15,000 likes, we’ll through it up here and you’ll get to see a sexy Brian without his shirt on!

Everybody surprised about Brian's Chinese, yet nobody compliments how great he speaks English and he didn't grow up in the U.S!
Pokarface7 Chinese is harder than English that’s why
@@evelyn_hdez3695 Yep. Argentinians speak english tambien. Chinese will proabbly take a spanish speaker 3x the time to learn than english
@Albert Mora The only Latin Americans that might be able to speak english are those who have the means to have private english classes. The rest of the people are given public english classes, and well, we know how "good" those classes are. So, you are correct. I would even venture to say, as an Argentinian, that most of us speak more portuguese rather than english. Of course, that last sentence is my opinion and personal experience; I don't have any facts for that.
that's very common because other countries are saturated with american film and television.
@@pianosonata5029 Not necessarily. I reached C1 in English a few years ago, mostly by watching series, YT and reading a bunch of literature and articles. You don't need private lessons to become fluent in any language, if you have an internet connection it's just a matter of motivation.
Crazy how Brian has such a natural American accent when it's his first time in the U.S
Yeah, Brian speaks really bomb English for having only lived in Australia for some time. The rest has been spent in non-English speaking countries. (also he's never actually taken English classes!)
Yeah he sounds like he's from Cali, pretty spot on
NEON KUE his Mandarin pronunciation is pretty good as well.
NEON KUE lots of TV growing up hhah
cos he is always together with American
Chris: "He is super lonely, his left hand is his best friend" 🤣😂
Cuando vi este video descubrí que cuando le hablas en chino a un chino dejan de ser esas extrañas personas de ojos rasgados
😜😂😂😂😂
Jajaja, claro, porque vez su mejor yo amigable
Será que sospechan de las intenciones de los demás? :D
Claro, por ellos aman su lengua como nosotros cuando nos hablan en Español o hablan cosas de nosotros nos sentimos más a gusto. Si deseas conquistar a alguien nativo de cualquier idioma debes aprenderlo y verás lo fácil que conquistaras
Claro que sí. Normalmente ellos son muy extraños y defensivos hacia la gente extraña. Yo soy Mexicano y también Chino, entonces puedo yo uso mi chino en Chinatown para comunicar con la gente, me ven como si fuera un alienígena jaja
as soon as they spoke chinese everyone became friendly like catching up with old friends
language is a bridge and a barrier
That happens all around asia. Just try speaking abit just abit of the local language and straight away your basically family
The young lady can’t speak mandarin she only can understand half and guess half what they said
LANGUAGE IS THE BEST METHOD TO HAVE A CLOSED FRIEND
Language is a gateway to culture. If you understand someones language, chances are that you understand their culture, which means you are both operating on the same wave length.
Me encanta cómo hay comentarios en español, ingles y chino jajajajaj
se ve de poca madre jajaja
@@marquitoscomedy1131 Simón 😂
Reeee
Yeah that's cool
Me pregunto con esa labia. Cuantas chinitas se habrá comido.🙂
Literalmente no entiendo nada por que todos allí hablando chino, lo interesante es que a los chinos cuando les hablas en su idioma cambian totalmente y se les nota muy agradables y super empaticos quien lo iba a creer.
Tienes que leer los subtitulos en ingles y hablan super rápido. O piensas que vas aprender chino escuchando a estos giles haciendo alarde de haberlo aprendido?
Hablan una mezcla de chino e inglés, con algo de cantones
Puedes poner subtitulos en español
Aprendí a decir buenas noches y gracias en chino, y donde compro comida china ahora me tratan mejor que antes.
Pero tiene sub en español 😅
6:01 "He's super lonely, his left hand is his best friend"😂BRUHHH💀
Chris did him dirty 😂
thats not what he said in reality. fake subtitles
Haha, I almost fell of my chair
He actually said he was lonely but yeah I think the translation said what he really meant hehe
Brian como argentino enorgullece ver jóvenes como tú demostrando su nivel cultural e intelectual al mundo.. felicidades hermano Argento.. abrazo a la distancia.!
Es de Honduras

“My boyfriends from Argentina.” Those boys hearts just sank.
I think she said "my boyfriend's from Argentina".

Alguien más pensó "hay suggar mommy a la vista" JAJAJAJAJA
Ya sé. Jajaja
5:45 primer paso
fue corriendo la señora jaja
jajaja aqui en mi pais, se ganaron ese adjetivo, muchos argentinos aqi buscan o una viena como Laura Bozo o un viejito jajaja
yo le doy
I love the dynamic these two guys have with each other. Would love to see them collaborate more.
"In America, the rich aren't fat. The poor people are fat."
the poor are fat because they cannot afford better foods, so they eat cheap foods like pastas and high carb foods
Much the same in other western countries , crap food is cheap .
Wouldn’t necessarily agree with this at all. I know rich Americans that are equally fat and skinny. As for poor, I’d say the same. I can’t think of a single obese homeless person that I’ve seen..
It's not that they can't afford better food. It's because they have too much time on their hands and they eat out of boredom. Many of them do not work and some are too big and fat to work. So, they eat all day
John Doe Yep. Costs less to feed your family with fast food and prepared/processed stuff full of sugar and crap than to buy decent fresh things.
ya me imagino esas discusiones en casa, una combinación de idiomas entre todos. jasjasjasjas
Soy de Puerto Rico me encanto como el hablaba chino de verdad es asombroso lo admiro porque he escuchado el idioma chino
y lo escucho bien complicado y lo perfecto que lo habla.Bendiciones para el
Que lindo seria ablar asi a las coreana le derias sali con migo jaja
Sii. Bueno en mi casa solo hablamos español y francés.
soy griega y mi novio es español.. y los dos hablamos ingles.. estamos hablando una mezcla de tres idiomas en casa xD pero solo 10% griego.. T.T porque aprendo español pero el no aprende griego (pero sabe un poco poco pocito) jaja espero que entiendas mi español.. I'm still not fluent ^^"
7:50 es increíble cómo no se le fué el acento argentino jajajajjaja
Jajajaj mal. "Acento argentino o..." re la voz del youtuber Gonzalo Goette. La forma de su cara es igual tmb jaja
Eso es inevitable jaja
No se le fue nunca , entendi el sarcasmo😁
esta super marcadisimo como para k lo puedan perder
I've literally just fallen in love with the young Chinese lady 😍
she's cute
An incentive to learn Cantonese, eh? Then Spanish to steal her from her Argentinian boyfriend...
What a beautiful lady!
Same here. But they will usually mention a boyfriend right away when not interested(not always). It happens to me quite often. Me: "Nice jacket" Them: "Thanks, my boyfriend got it for me".....crushed.
@@pdrey100 Your answer: "He's a real cheapskate, eh? Where'd he buy that, Walmart?"
That girl was so gorgeous
She mentioned having a bf but her body language said otherwise ;)
She really isn't. I like asiangirls and she looks average
Low key was hoping one of them would try to converse with her and pick her up, too bad she mention her bf...
@@lucaa.9709 LOL CHILL no one's saying she's a 10. Still pretty hot though
FREE RADIO it bcs she’s 40 but looks 25 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You're giving Xiaoma a run for his money. You're hilarious and chatty.
ikr
They need a collab!
He's got nothin on chowma
@@romegutierre5377 nah, Xiaoma learning Spanish out of jealousy of them
@@SevenMilliFrog u know what your just thought about that.. He would be that type of dude.. Now thinkin about it. He's totally jelly lmfao...yo i dare to go tell chowma that he's jealous of this fake wanna be white boy lol and his shorty argentian friend lol.
I loved that he mentioned he bought glasses. I was thinking about that as the video was winding up.
I'm so impressed! Great that you are doing videos and communicating with others in a different language 👌
The young Chinese woman was very cute.
bro they are chinese she could have been 35-40 and still looked that young
She looks like she's 40
@@natenate2280 I agree with you, but I also don't. There is certain point at which it goes super down hill for them. So, while they make look much longer for an extended period of time, once they hit their specific individual number, it's much worse than others imo.
that nyoung chinese is hot
@@RichLiberman69 that's one hot 40 year old
Those Chinese tiger moms really are ruthless, they would take Brian as their daughter's boyfriend in a heartbeat if he wasn't that short
Maybe she was just saying, cause she didn't even have a daughter
Vincent Wong lol that’s true
@@user-qb8qb9yu9q Where's you daughter? I don't have one, but I can show you my cat.
Hes not short wtf, hes average
I think the tiger moms want them for themselves.
Al ver videos tuyos y de xioma me doy cuenta la importancia que tiene la gente al comunicarse en su idioma, las caras, los gestos, las sonrisas TODO se vuelve distinto es como si con solo el idioma ya se sintieran cómodos y parte del mismo lugar, lo que me hace reflexionar sobre que tan difícil o solitario debe ser hablar un idioma diferente al tuyo con pocas personas en otro país, tanto que al ver que hablan su mismo idioma o con su mismo acento la gente es buena y simpática, la felicidad que comparten al poder comunicarse es increíble
Youre amazing!!! 👏🏼👏🏼 Blessings!!
jajaja los Argentinos siempre estamos metidos en todos lados. Me gusto el lindo clima que se genero y lo bien que la pasaron.
estamos peor los mexicanos xd.
Y los Alemanes Nazis con ustedes
@@lordwacho4205 nadie t pregunto crack.
@@joaccoRmx2003 todos los paises quieren ser los que "estan en todos lados"😅
Los latinos tenemos economías tan hechas vrg4 que nos tocó dar a cualquier lugar del mundo jaja
I am listening to this with a huge smile and lots of pride for my Latinos..
He's not growing up in America yet he speaks perfect English, impressive.
The frontal camera at the same time is so cool and give more energy to the video!! I wish I could speak fluently lots of languages like you guys
Her - "My boyfriend's from Argentina" Them - "Boyfriend? We gotta go"
Chinese: asks in English Latinos: answered in perfect Chinese. Me: lost in translation BOOM!
you guys brought so much of joyful and laughs to them. I wish i could join you all. The world needed this kind of atmosphere rather hatred and violence. Im from Malaysia but working in NYC hope to meet both of you someday here. Im just subscribed you here and hope to see more from you guys. Thank you for bringing happiness to the world
Loved this video you guys bringing joy Joy to people. Thanks for sharing.
"Ok, be a good boy..." lol. Gotta love how mannerisms and tones change when you speak other languages.
Hey bro. I remember seeing you being a big commenter before Laoshu really started getting big! Shoutout to you bro! Level up OGs!
@@diehardacidparty level up, verbal sparring, those were the days! I'm still around but I think my comments get buried now.
Chandasouk yessir!!! treasure box desu ka?!? and it don’t matter bro we all know the OGs. stay safe out here brother all love.
@@Chandasouk lol its nice seeing familiar people in the comments , still enjoying language content as well, ahhh
I remember Italian is much similar to Spanish. And surprisingly Argentina is a Spanish speaking country with most of its population Italian ancestry.
濁浪頻道Chuk Long Official I think is German
Yep, I confirm. We basically have the same linguistic roots, so to us italians learning spanish is actually among the easiest ones, mainly because we share same grammar structures and many words too.
The European emigration to Argentina was in 19th century, the most were italian and spanish
If you speak Spanish, without studying Portuguese at all, you can understand more Brazilian Portuguese than italian. It can take you less than 6 months to learn Portuguese, I did it. I haven't tried learning Italian
Im argentinian with an italian passport, AND even though i have never studied italian or portuguese ( i only studied english) i can read those two languages and understand at least a 80% of the content.
Hello, Greetings to both of U. Awesome indeed. Am so impressed wt ur Language skills.Ur both fluent and look comfortable when engaging in a conversation. Ain't easy learning a foreign language. Love watching ur video. Absolutely amazing! Excellent Guys👍
Awesome video. First time watching this channel. So cool to see the different reactions. Great job guys
Haha. This is perfect. Bte. I'm Indonesian, always fascinated with China and Chinese people, my boss is a Chinese Indonesian, my daughter currently study at a Chinese School and the last year went to China for a summer camp. I wish I can speak Spanish, Mandarin and Arabic.
Google UserX baik!
Nice choice . mandarin is good for bussiness and future
6:03 His left hand is his best friend LMFAO
For me it's the right hand 😁
I know, I can't believe he said that!
Is that slang or something? I couldn't find a reference to masturbation and it definitely doesn't say anything about his left hand "他很孤独很寂寞"
@@FedUp-bd4gv he didn't say that lol, he just said Brian is lonely
@@lseongl lol the translation is too silly.
4:15 hahaha that interraction is so funny! Brian has such a cool energy and sense of humor! You can tell he's genuinely a super nice dude!
Good stuff! Thanks guys!
you guys have good chemistry together man, i hope you guys make more videos.
Que bueno Brian, es genial encontrar a un Argentino tan joven que haga ésto. Tiene razón el comentariio de Miguel Angel. Ayer 03 de Mayo empece a ver el Canal y me pareció muy divertida la reacción de la gente al ver a Chris hablar chino y hoy me encuentro con Brian que también es poliglota... Me divierten mucho y es un gran ejemplo a seguir. Chris y Brian vengan a la Argentina... Besos a todos y quedemos en casa!!!!
Its so awesome you can meet people around the world thanks languages. Love yours videos.
Wow! I am so impressed and envious! 😊
this was awesome good way to keep spirits high in a time like this !!
Son unos genios chicos. Saludos desde Salta Argentina. Me dieron ganas de aprender idiomas. Abrazo grande.
it's beautiful to see how they get happy
You should both do more videos together. Great synergy and hilarious.
Activo los subtitulos,mi ojos leen o que dice en mandarin y mi oido entiende el ingles...y mi cerebro colapsa jajaja...
Jajajaj
Finally, my first time seeing an Argentinian polyglot.
Lautaro Taibo I met one while I was in Buenos Aires, who speaks English, Italian, Spanish, German and Dutch. There are a lot of Italian descendants in BA, so very much born bilingual at least.
@@yulunwang919 Just remembered that I've got a cousin that speaks English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Can't believe I forgot. (Btw both my cousin and I are Argentinian)
Here you ve another one, i speak english, japanese and obviously spanish.
@@nottaibo It's a really lovely country, I enjoyed my holiday there a lot, wish your economy gets back on track soon.
@@nottaibo Argentina papá deaa
The Argentinian guy reminds me of an actor. The guy acted in a Chinese drama, “Gank your heart” and then this guy from the video mentioned Wang Yibo and I can’t stop thinking he’s the same guy from the drama lol And now I’m thinking why do I keep typing in English when my native language is Spanish 😂😂 anyway~
Hahahh，I love watching Chris and Brian hanging out together.
If I had one wish in this world, it would be to have the ability to speak every language in every dialect.
I love this video! I'm currently learning Chinese and Spanish, 很高兴看到有人说中文！
Brian is really a dream... his looks , his smile adoraaaable
As a Chilean and adopted...i effing love this video for the language boundaries it crosses!!!
Well that was fun. I get such a kick out of how they brighten up, and you make their day when you speak to them in their native language. Apparently it's customary to deny compliments. "You speak great Chinese.!" "It's ok. I speak a little"
Nanananana mirala esa china hablando argentino 9:21 "De nada". Le salió igual la tonada. Brian, estaba buena la china, tenía un novio argentino, uno más quería tener jajajaja
Mal, el cantito, la expresión
Anda al super y encontrás una pa

Jamás pensé que fuera de Honduras pero lo que me pone super emocionado es la combinación de países.....una unidad brutal!

Sinceramente estoy muy emocionada y orgullosa al ver a un argentino que pueda viajar por el mundo y a la vez aprender varios idiomas me motiva a querer aprender también 💪
You're both great!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Que geniales pasan de un idioma a otro...me ayudan a escuchar chino mucho...ya que estoy estudiandolo...Brian es un pibe único...orgullo Argentino
The way the younger lady was looking at Brian lol. Was ready to take him then and there
Oh snap! My family is from Honduras too! 🇭🇳
Que bueno ver raíces de Honduras en todo el mundo y siempre hay gente sobresalientes de padres hondureños y soy de Honduras saludos.
🇭🇳❤
Es lo que más me sorprendió del vídeo, cuando dijo que su madre es hondureña!!!
oh that's so cool and your friend met Wang yibo ugh I'm jealous I really need to get into studying languages again
What a lovely family, a girl is super cute and the parents are amazing
Me encantó el video!, nuevo suscriptor aquí! 🌸
With Mandarin, Spanish, and English they can speak to most people in the world and that is awesome
you guys are so funny! Love it
When he said Wang Yi Bo, I shouted here, exactly 4:33am with my sis sleeping.
Same:)))
Same, I am jealous of Brian lol
1:21 "That's what she said"...LOL 你们的中文讲的好流利 ！！！Keep it up
Hahahaha Brian is so cute! Such a cutie getting shy after hearing countless of compliments😂😭

I have a feeling Chris is about to get a sweet discount on some Johnny Depp glasses
Se imaginan ser lo mitad de geniales que ustedes❤️ yo apenas estoy aprendiendo mandarín, mi inglés es medio y mi portugués también 😂
This is a beautiful video. First, Latinos speaking Mandarin/Cantonese, then an Asian speaking Spanish. This is world peace in a bottle.
Great video! Loved it! I liked and subscribed.
This Conversation is so Funny!!! 😀😁😀
"si" "That's awesome!!"
Me fascina ver y escuchar gente hablando varios idiomas, me encantó este vídeo, sigo el canal porque me gusta mucho el contenido, muy buen canal!! Felicidades!!!
Son geniales muchachos! Saludos desde Argentina.
That "that's what she said" scene really got me XD
A veces pienso que los que hablamos varios idiomas o más de uno, y no tenemos con quién practicar se nos olvida de lo grandioso y sorprendente que es hablar más allá de tu idioma natal!! ♥️👌🏼
Hilarious! Great stuff.
This is a fun series... 💯
It’s amazing how you can make new friends everywhere when you speak a foreign language.
The one piece clip with chopper!!!! Ahhh te admiro!!! 🥺
Eeeso!!! Que bien se aprendieron ese Mandarin chamos! Que cool. Good job guys!
Parcero te encontré por casualidad, ya he visto varios vídeos tuyos y me parecen geniales las reacciones de la gente . Me suscribo Saludos desde Colombia.
I am impressed more by the Argentine's English.
English is so easy for Spanish speakers
@@ran160 not that much if you take into account that we do not have a culture that makes us speak english.. not to a nearly native english level at leats that goes for mexican people
@@ran160 to say "for spanish speakers" it's too much, for mexicans it's really hard to hide their accent when they speak english. on the contrary, i feel like Argentinians have a better time mimicking english accents. so i really believe that it's a different difficulty for every spanish speaking country.
@@axelpio9446 I mean you can't assume is easier for argentinians to speak english with no accent just because one guy sounds native.
@@kreshnik13 maybe is because the "argentine Spanish" is so different than the other spanish, we speak with other accent and words (sorry my bad English) greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷阿哥廷。
I love these cross-culture videos. So much better than the many confrontational videos on youtube. I love how people respond to someone speaking their "first language". Contrary to the opinion of many people in this country, the USA has NO official language. Whatever you speak is acceptable - to me at least.
In USA there's no official/government language. English is 'de facto'.
Excelente, simple y sencillamente geniales, felicidades. Keep going guys!!!
Nice I’m from Miami but parents from Honduras 🇭🇳 great to see a catracho that knows many languages te deseo lo mejor me suscribo.
Oh my god he acted with wang yibo that makes me soooo excited😁😁😁
