(Sarcastically, of course), 小马 you don't have the GUTS to learn Af Somali or Hmong, and come over to Minnesota, go to the local markets/stores/communities, and start speaking their language! *Uses glove to slap your face* I say good DAY sir! Love your rapid expansion and growth with language buddy. Keep up the incredible work!
Do Vietnamese stuff next
Hey man I'm not sure how to get a hold of you other than on here. Can you make a video about Immerse vr? It looks amazing but, I don't want to waste money if it won't actually help me learn to actually speak a new language.
Hey Xiaoma! Whats that intro song called on epidemic sound?
Thai is such a fun language - 5 different tones. Years ago, I tried to say "mother-in-law" to my new mother-in-law but instead I managed to call her, "big dog". My father-in-law thought it was hilarious. But being quick witted, I told him and my mother-in-law that Big Dog in English can also be slang for "the boss". He stopped laughing... To this day I still call her Big Dog.
That is hilarious!
แม่ยาย vs หมาใหญ่
Nice save!
that is so funny, and typical thai humor. i love it
I empathise with you… I attempted to tell my very traditional Sicilian father in law that he grows great fennel ( for the salad) But instead I told him that he would make a really good homosexual… Needless to say he had steam coming out his ears for a second until he realised it was just that my phrasing was a bit off… my mother-in-law and husband were rolling on the floor. She used to tease him to go to the vegetable patch and bring his boyfriend back with him so she could make the salad… I was mortified and never tried to speak Italian in front of him again.
Dude that guy changed gears SO fast when you spoke Chinese and on top of it went to the same Uni, he was probably like WTF! LOL
That was my favorite part lol. He went from "go sit down out there" . To "bro!!! You gotta post my sign!" LOL
He is a Chinese Karen LOL
@@HachikoThePoochInugami why?
@@myself5812 A Karen is a person (not necessarily a white woman but most were) perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. I call that man a Karen because he sent Ari away because of the durian he is eating, but when he heard him speak Mandarin, he took a 180 degree turn, became ecstatic, and had the audacity to tell him to promote his store. He is like that fat woman I saw on Cash 2.0's channel where she told Steve (the dog's owner) to get out of the market because of his dog (a huge Great Dane), but later had the nerve to ask him if she could pet it when she later learned it was not hostile. Turned out that woman was also a customer.
@@HachikoThePoochInugami No, he's not a Karen. A Karen is a self entitled, arrogant person (usually a woman) who feels superior to the people around her. Ari is the farthest thing away from a Karen. Bad use of an American term kid...
This reminds me of 30 years ago. I took four years of Japanese in high school. It was all the rage around Detroit in the 90’s. My teacher was a woman from the Kansai region. Very strict. We learned about 900 Kanji in four years. I went on to live there for a few years. First reaction I got from people typically was amazement that I could read and fairly well. But inevitably as I got to know them, the jokes followed. I didn’t just learn the language from her, but her way of saying things and her mannerisms as well; which I quickly came to understand were distinctly feminine and countryside. In other words I was acting like the equivalent of an outspoken southern woman. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t shake any of it. It became a running joke, because I was also 6’2” nearing 200 pounds and would play any sport to amuse myself. It was clearly a source of endless amusement wherever I went.
Lmao that's actually hilarious
My friends was living in japan on base and was half japanese and can speak very well. Guess everyone over there gets bullied if they’re different
Honestly? Slay
A few western men married to Thai women suffer the same affliction (me included).
Lol
Xiaoma makes every English-speaking person want to learn at least one other language 👍👍
nah dude, i speak spanish, english and japanese and he just made me want to learn thai.
Wrong!!!!!!
@@leredditcommander8208 bro means people who exclusively speak English
We speak murican
I wish we all spoke the same language.
This channel made me tell my parents to start speaking to me in Tagalog every day. My whole life they would turn to me and speak English, so I never learned and had given up. 27 years of turning to me and speaking English, to tell them to speak to me in Tagalog is difficult for them, but I understand what they are saying and I am surprised at how fast I’m picking up speaking it. Thank you Xiaoma you are helping me get reacquainted with my own culture.
Where is Tagalog spoken?
@@beasllie6023 Philippines
I started learning Tagalog when I had a Filipina gf a few years ago. The problem was, she forgot how to speak it herself when she came to England and her accent was more northern than my own😂 I still tried to learn some for her crazy family parties, but it was so hard 😅 all I remember now is mahal kita talaga
Thai people very “mouth moi” Mouth moi: chitchat/gossip 😂
I keep telling my wife to also speak Tagolog to our kids but she just speaks English to them!
My favorite is when he speaks Chinese because of him being so fluent, it comes naturally. It’s very impressive and beautiful to see the connection he makes with people through language. I love the initial shock followed by happiness ❤ lovely to see
I actually really like this video because you show that everyone makes mistakes and it's ok! Always an inspiration, Xiaoma!
Yeah it's great! His accent makes him sound a bit drunken xD but still notoriously hard
Lol, they were laughing at your pronouncation but you are the language god. Give this man another week and he'd be fluent lol.
I thought that was great, they were correcting his pronunciation. Soo funny, yet they were trying help.
I think they laugh cuz they like it, not many foreigner can speak Thai and they alway said he good at Thai
I’m thai,They laughed because they were impressed, that’s how old people do.
It's incredibly normal for friendly people to laugh at some weird pronunciation... also they corrected him, that's how you improve your language, learning while having a laugh. I'm from Brazil and our pronunciation is very difficult for english speakers at first, I can't count how many times I've made fun of friends but also correcting them afterwards, that's just how it goes.
As a non-Thai person who speaks Thai, definitely lol. Seems like he can speak it well but the tones and pronunciation need work for sure. Good enough for a tourist for sure though. I know Thai is hard, I grew up here so my accent's dang good.
I'm a white guy semi-fluent in Thai and haven't gotten reactions like this from Thai people in suchhh a long time. It's funny how when you're a beginner making an effort, people find it really charming and give you so many compliments. But when you speak fluently, people just assume you've been living there a long time and don't care much. Xiaoma can just say aroi mak mak all day long and their eyes light up like wow you speak so well!! 555555 I love watching though, please make more effort with Thai
I find it depends on where you go. In Bangkok I barely get any reactions, although every now and then I get asked if I'm a ลูกครึ่ง (luuk-krung, half-child) even though I don't look Thai at all 555 But if I go somewhere where there's lots of farangs like Koh Samui/Phuket/etc people still get pretty surprised. Also people assume I'm an English teacher quite often too
Do you have a thai meow?
555555
@@baconoverflow4384 Just say you're full Thai - that's what I do. Because I'm clearly a white man they always laugh.
I lived in Bangkok on diplomatic travel for 4 years. This made me miss what I still consider my 2nd home even though its been 10 years now since I left. I didn't think I would get emotional watching you travel around Thailand. I remember riding the BTS (above ground Metro) and i was speaking english with another american. We were about to get off at the next stop when i over heard a thai woman and her friend start talking about how the two foreigners "farangs" were in there way and that they wouldnt get through. I politely turn around and in Thai told them that we were getting off at the next station and she didnt have to worry. Her face was so priceless and the entire train got quiet hahahahah. She was so embarrassed.
Same here! Diplomatic. Was there from 2000-2005
That reminds me of Korea. This is before the whole Kpop fad took off the last few years. I was really into Korean since about 2001 because of a kind of Daoist Korean tai chi and my first Korean gf in the states. SO I went back and forth to korea at least 6 times and ended up working there for awhile. And taking the language in college. Anyway. I was on the subway late at night maybe around midnight in Seoul and a drunk homeless man was shouting and cursing at quiet skinny 20 something me sitting on the bench minding my own business. effing foreigners and effing this country and we are evil. I just said to him something like 'sir i understand everything you are saying and you are being really noisy for everyone' he felt so ashamed and people kind of clapped.
I'm feel like you
@@Chris_yes could’ve said this without the second sentence
@@walex19 Yeah, you're probably one of those Nigerian princes off of Soi Sukhumvit (I forget which side road, if it was Soi 11 or not where they congregate)...
Having been attempting to learn Thai for a while, it is very clear that Ari has a gift that most others don't.
you need to study the basics, and then talk everyday, worked for me, regular visitor to LOS for 25 + years
Pom pud Thai dai nit noi. It's so fkn hard with the tones it destroys me! I don't know how people can learn so fast and especially have people understand what they're saying.
@@01DOGG01 Yeah, without being here, I really struggled. I spent about 45 minutes just after lunch talking to a random dude at a park and about 30 minutes with our neighbors just now. The only way to really learn to speak Thai is to learn to read as well because the transliteration is always close, but never right. And be in Thailand.....that's very helpful also.
@@chrisdavisunofficial I'm very ashamed to say that I've been in Thailand for almost 3 years now, on top of coming here many times before that, yet can't even compete with this guy that studied it for a couple of weeks. It doesn't help that the wife is Thai and we obviously communicate in English. The local corner shops speak very good English, the neighbour as well, all having spent time abroad, so every time that I actually need something in Thai I ask the wife. Horse, dog, come... Ma, ma, ma lol it's hard for me. And there are so many things much harder than that. And I haven't even started on the script... Yikes!
@@01DOGG01 Haha, yeah, you should be fluent by now. The few things I can kinda say really help people to open up. We'll both get there one day. My wife can't hear the tones, so that has made it really fun.
I am Thai and this is so funny how easily Thai people are amused 😂😂 Your Thai is decent and you pronounce stuff funny.
Haha also he's just a funny awkward dude
I can only have one wife.... One wife hahaha
I'd love to have the opportunity to have these experiences though!
Man how awesome of Xiaoma showing us him getting humbled. Its a process everybody stasy true to it and you can learn another language!
The way to learn anything is to try it, get it wrong, and eventually get it right.
I love that he includes those moments, it makes it very real. He is a very humble guy and it shows in the way he interacts with others when learning a new language.
Vendors: How many drinks do you want? Xioma: Yes
As a Thai, I would say that if you're already fluent in Chinese, you'd master the tonal concept of Thai in no time.
Do you think he was asked if he was from China twice in the beginning because he’s so fluent in Chinese that his Thai has a chance accent ?
No, his thai does not sound like the chinese influenced chiang mai style of speaking. His thai sounds like somebody who hasnt listened to enough thai yet. He needs to watch 50 thai movies.
I don't think so sadly. I'm not trying to confront you or anything, but most Thais dramatically underestimate the difficulty of learning Thai as a foreigner.
not only is this guy spreading awareness of culture, but also is he spreading the wealth with these small businesses. God bless
I am a casino dealer. In the course of any day, I run into probably about 4 or 5 different language opportunities with regulars. I LOVE hearing an accent and finding out what languages they speak. Then I make an effort to greet them next time with at least a "hello", "long time, no see", "thank you" and "bye" in their language. Today I just did it in Thai and the smile and reactions are worth the minimal effort. I do know conversational levels in a few languages but there is nothing wrong with at least learning a few "opening lines" in many different ones. (BTW, hello in Thai sounds like "sah-wah-dee"). People appreciate it so much and they honestly seek me out when they come in again (and yes, they do tend to tip better because of it but honestly that is just icing on the cake as I really enjoy the interaction more).
That's the first authentic hiyaaa I've heard since watching uncle roger
I thought I was the only one who heard it!
"I could only have one wife" *Panically looks over his shoulder*
In thai culture he can have many wife. Depends on money. Mia and Mia noi.
Thai people really like people who at least try to speak their language. Definitely heard some Isaan/Lao in your conversations.
Lao loanwords are a part of the BKK Thai lexicon now as I'm sure you know. Amazing how quickly the evolution is at street level!
thats one of the problems when learning thai, all kinds of different dialects are spoken, Lao , Khmer or a mixture, difficult to know whats what at first.
It's Thai - Esarn language because my wife are Thai - Esarn
@@foodhistory1387 Many Laos and Thai - Esan peoples come to work in Bangkok. As a Bangkokian like me. I don't understand some words that they talk.
@@mhappy5084 but in the last 20 years more and more Lao words are used everyday by Central Thai people in BKK; the language is changing very quickly.
So impressive… I’ve been to Thailand so many times but I’m not even remotely close to this level of fluency.
Speaks very well of the Thai people in how accommodating they are to English speakers.
My vocabulary doesn't get beyond sawadee and kapunka(p)
There was nothing close to fluency here. He spoke Chinese 90% of the time and only said around 10 phrases in Thai. You could learn this level in 2-3 hours of study.
Do u even lift bro
Idk how after all this time of following him, I just read his description. I just found out that he started learning at age 18 which is so crazy inspiring. I’ve always wanted to be like him with languages but I was sure he started super early. I didn’t think starting at 18 would be much of an advantage for me and it still might not be the greatest, but he’s proof that it can be done.
Same! I’ve only known English my entire, but I’ve started learning Japanese a few weeks ago and it’s shocking how rewarding it feels to learn. I thought I was a bit late, getting into a new language at 18 but, alongside just how fun its been so far, this definitely makes me hopeful.
depending on if you have experience with any language, start there. for me it is spanish. and i have a good base in that. from there i am able to learn italian french romanian and portuguese pretty easily vs other languages
That guy telling him to stop eating durian in front of his shop and to go away also forcefully told Xiaoma what to film and that he better post it online... and Xiaoma actually did it! Way too nice of a guy =p
*briefly and out of focus 😁
Many shops have large fine for durian. Same same taxi and hotels. Not allowed because of smell.
“ consumed before passengers enter the Singapore Metro system, unless they want to pay a $500 SGD ($380 USD) fine. A similar ban exists across Bangkok public transportation.” Bruh it’s extremely strong in smell the guy was polite abt it
He's not really Thai. Because real Thai people will not do that. Indicates that he is from China rather than Thai. i am real thai. Real Thai people don't do that. would be considerate and respectful and friendly than chasing guests like that.
I think that is normal for China, they want people to advertise their shop, not product from someone elses shop in front of theirs. It's a cultural thing
Don't forget to say "krap" it's more polite and will be greatly appreciated especially if the person is older posh work tho doing really well in Thai 👌
It’s Krup not Krap
@@descendantsanddoctorwhofan5998 it‘s neither krap nor krub it‘s ครับ
@@descendantsanddoctorwhofan5998 it’s pronounced Krap though
The lady selling you water made a good point at 4:04 😂😂😂 She's saying the pronunciation of bottle in thai (kuat ขวด) shouldn't be mistaken with cock (kuai ควย)!! Very easy to do if you don't include the glottal stop.

I think everyone's worst nightmare is accidentally doing something like that when learning a new language.
Every time I see faces of people in shock after youtubers speak language it brings smile , Learn different language and culture is so satisfying I think and interesting , going watch both Thai vids again Thanks for making me smile
4:00 This has the same energy as: "please give me coke"😂
Lol she followed up with how to say the D word in Thai.😂 most people in the comment might not know but sometimes shop workers are used for other things off menu at bars or clubs. I was not expecting her to tell him that when he laughs around 4:03
@@SeeHang He said "dick" instead of "bottle"😂
Those places you went to were awesome. Experiencing real culture with down to earth and friendly people.Makes me want to learn Thai and Chinese and go to Bangkok myself. Great video as usual!
Thai is a hard language to learn. It’s tonal. Your attempt to say “corn and coconut” is an example. If you get the tone wrong, the word has an entirely different meaning. My wife is Thai, we’ve been together 10 years, married for 8, I’m around her family and friends often, been to Thailand a couple times, and still your Thai is better than mine.
Yup, my mother's side is Chinese via Thailand (she was born in Bangkok's Chinatown so this was especially cool for me to watch) and she liked to emphasize the over-simplicity of English by saying Thai has "44 letters - and 22 vowels!"
@@awibs57 Yep, and there’s lots of vowel sounds that we don’t have in the English language that English speakers don’t hear unless you point them out
They were correcting him saying 'mak prao' or 'ma khao' instead of 'ma prao'/มะพร้าว
@@awibs57 on top of that, vowels can be put together like friggin legos. it's absolute nuts.
same scenario.. 10 years with my wife who's born Canadian origins from Laos and even Laotian and Thai is slightly different, the number of time i try to say something and deff not the right tone
I am a Thai man. I admire you for your talent in languages.Thai people love to hear foreigners to try speaking a bit Thai. They will help you learn and correct any mistakes, no need to worry speaking right or wrong.
Holy shit I haven't laughed so hard in a while. I miss Thailand so much, the people, the food, the humour is on another level
I love spicy food, but that lady is kinda right: Hispanic, cajun, chinese, and Indian can all get really spicy, but Thai food, a Thai medium is extra spicy everywhere else it seems
Chinese food isn’t spicy at least not American Chinese , Cajun isn’t either
@@Tagg25 Sichuan style Chinese food? You can find if you know a good place, I went down to Galveston once, right on the Texas Louisiana border to have some Cajun food, they make it pretty hot, atleast if you use hot sauce. It’s not that Thai food is the spiciest, cause their is those crazy hot sauces that are made less for eating more for KZhead videos. But that Thai food seems to have a naturally high average spice level across the cultures many dishes
@@jeremygeller9145 Indian food is the spiciest of them all, there's no comparison between the 1000+ combos of spices and other condiments in Indian vs 2-5 in others.
@@infinite5795 I love Indian food, and maybe I just haven’t had truly authentic (haven’t been to India) but I find the sauce parts you see in a lot of Indian take the eve off the spice But then add a different flavor. Combination wise nothing beats Indian food but raw heat, not so sure
He's at it again! Surprising and entertaining people all over the world
Watching your videos after studying Mandarin for 4 months is so much fun because I'm actually starting to pickup on some of what you say. Hopefully I can speak this well once I get into my 20's
Watching videos like this make me feel good about being a thai person, thank you for visiting our country!!
Love watching your videos, not obnoxious style of vlogging and in people faces. Showing respect for them and culture with education. Then peacefully and kindly showing your gratitude. Wheni travel i try to be like this, I am going to Indonesia again soon, learned the language pretty well for my 2nd visit coming.
Yay!! I'm so excited you finally learned thai!! I was an exchange student in nonthaburi,, and I'm applying to college there too!! Thai is such a fun language and the people are the most wonderful. Prathed thai pom kidthung kun mak mak mak
I've been waiting for a thai special thank you for taking the time and learning my native language!!!
Ah man, I love, this channel - the lost art of communication and meeting new people. A beautiful thing. You always feel better after watching one of your videos.
Love these type of travel videos abroad, it’s like the travel channel but with languages
I started studying chinese earlier this year as my girlfriend is chinese, and I'm glad to say that I can understand more and more, it makes me so happy 😁
I really enjoy your videos, how you interact and share laughter with the natives and you receive a lot of compliments. Vey good!
Xiao I love your videos! Languages have always interested me and I find it amazing how quickly you pick up them up.
i don't speak mandarin but even when i'm in my mandarin class at school and pick up a few things from it it makes me feel good to know that i under stand a little bit of this.
It's the shock and awe that the people have every time you speak in their language, that cracks me up; they are really impressed. But I don't understand their shock sometimes. It's 2022 you never know who knows your language. 🤷🏿♀️
YES!!! ive been waiting for a video with the Thai language!!!
Xiaomanyc I literally binge watch your videos I love when you start speaking mandarin
I spent two months in Thailand in 2017 and had an amazing time. I studied a little bit of Thai, enough to help me find my way when I got lost. feels good to learn a tonal language, being so different from English phonetically People were so wonderful there, the food amazing. If I couldn't live in Mexico for some reason I'd love to live in Thailand. saludos
I speak pretty broken tourist thai, it is really nice getting a response when I ask for things in thai, normally food. Sitting with the locals and trying a bit means they correct you on how "they" speak rather than the formal way the likes of pimsleur teach you. For example I was told not to say Mai Chi khrap (no) when somebody offered me something, the lady sitting with me said " Say Mai Ao its politer" - best way to improve sit down and try.
Mai chai actually means that something is incorrect, like if someone asks you "Are you Thai?" then you can answer with Mai chai, meaning that no, I'm not Thai. Mai ao means no take, meaning that you won't take/accept something (ao means to take/get/accept, and can be used as a slang for f*ck as well)
Watching your videos makes me love the world and its people again. Keep going, bud!
Both him and the locals are really amazing. The last time I was in Bangkok, so many of the locals could speak Mandarin. They are so quick to pick up the language to cater to Chinese tourists.
as a thai person i've been waiting so long for you to make a thai video
I noticed that the way you speak Thai (flow, pitch, intonation, etc.) is similar to the way you speak Chinese. I recommend to everyone that when you’re learning a new language to not take reference from the languages that you’re already familiar with. Think of it as a totally new idea and concept that shouldn’t always be connected to your mother tongue(s) Been following you for years and I’m very impressed at how you communicate to and surprise Chinese speaking people with your Chinese skills though. But as a bilingual Thai/English speaker who’s taught English for many years, I suggest that if you want to improve your Thai, make sure that you 1) practice the tones and 2) listening to the flow of speech of native Thai speakers. Another thing to mention is that the majority of Thai-Chinese that is 3rd to 4th generation have already lost their ability to speak Chinese/usually Tajeaw or Hakka origin so most of the time they’re not familiar at all with mandarin unless they have to deal with mainland/Taiwan for business or something. Love and respect you Xiaoma and I love to see you improve on your Thai!
*_"I recommend to everyone that when you’re learning a new language to not take reference from the languages that you’re already familiar with."_* 100% - you have to replicate the sound, not try and make it like a word in your native tongue.
I can't believe I missed this when it came out. I absolutely LOVE it! When I visit Thailand, no one guesses American, always China, or Vietnam, not there. that's a great Chinatown !
This is one of my favourite videos! And I love them all.

These videos show we should all travel and mingle more learn other languages it’s only the collective west that don’t push languages in schools enough All other countries teach English so we get lazy much props to this guy watched him over the years he is inspiring to people
I've always thought that Thai was one of the most beautiful languages in the world. Any time I've heard it spoken in a movie I thought it was absolutely musical. I would love to learn it, but I don't think I'd have any occasion to use it as I don't even know anyone from Thailand.
I love seeing you in my home country of Thailand man its amazing id love to see more videos in Thailand!

all the locals are so funny I laughed so hard the whole video.😂😂😂

In my experience, Thai and Filipinos have the best sense of humor out of any Asians I've ever interacted with.
Having just finished 30 days in Thailand, this was fun to watch!
I spent some time in Malaysia and learned an interesting fact. I was told that the closer you get to the equator the hotter the food. The reason was explained to me that in hot humid climates food tends to spoil quickly and hot spices help make the food more edible.

La seule différence c 'est le prisme par lequel on va analyser ce qui arrive. Si je me foule je dirai : J 'ai pas eut de bol , toi tu diras "Ah c 'est Allah qui ..." Alors pourquoi est ce que Mohammed aurait inventé tout ça ? Parce que comme Rael il a compris que les humains ne demandent que de croire en quelque chose de supérieur qui réponds à toutes leurs questions existentielles. Et il a compris qu'en jouant ce rôle de messager, il allait avoir une vie bien plus épique que celle qui lui était promis Donc il a pris le livre juif et il a brodé un truc autour Si tu commences à analyser les choses sous cet angle la, tu verras que tout prends un autre sens. (Profite en les "Djinns" sont enchainés pendant ramadan ) Par exemple : Pourquoi est ce que Mohammed dit que le pire péché c'est l'association ? C'est bizarre non ? juste ne pas être convaincu par les arguments de Mohammed serait plus grave que de trucider des gens ? L'explication est simple : Ses pires ennemis étaient des polythéistes donc pour galvaniser ses troupes, les motiver à prendre les armes, il a inventé cette histoire "Le polythéisme est le truc le plus grave selon Allah" et tous les mecs autour de lui avaient la bave qui coulait en mode "On va les démonter" Ou pourquoi est ce qu'il a descendu ce verset (coran 33:73) dans lequel il est dit qu'Allah lui donne l'autorisation d'épouser la femme de son fils adoptif ? Parce que Mohammed assumait pas d'avoir envie de sa belle fille et qu'il fallait qu'il s'envoi un petit message divin pour officialiser tout ça . Ou pourquoi Mohammed a dit "si Allah vous éprouve c'est parce qu'il vous aime" C'est parce que les péons qui le suivaient se sont vite rendus compte que malgré qu'ils suivent le messager divin, il continuaient de leur arriver des malheurs (maladie, accidents) Et Mohammed a dut justifier ça et il a sorti la phrase qui le sortait du pétrin "Si il vous arrive des trucs c 'est parce qu'Allah vous éprouve"
Never get tired of watching the changes as they find out he speaks a language 😂
