Anyway, today my wife told me to go to the market to buy some fruits and vegetables, and Chinese people had the funniest reactions when they overheard me speaking on the phone with her in Chinese! It was kind of like a phone prank but…in Chinese! Also I spoke with people in the market in Mandarin, Cantonese, Taishainese, and English!

“Oh an influencer… no wonder you’re so smart” is a sentence I never thought I’d hear in my life
normally oh an influencer ..failure!!! hahahaha,steve's father
"Influencer" has negative connotations (for most people) in English, whereas the Chinese word that Xioama thought matched could be totally different.
It has negative connotations in English mostly because of the immature actions and stunts by many influencers to go viral and grow their following... But to be fair when you step back and look at it, it does take a lot of hard work and creativity to carve out your own corner of the internet in an ever-competitive market and make a career out of it to boot. You are building a business from scratch afterall.
@@sergeantbigmac To me, the word influencer makes me think of an egotistical "Instagram model" that sells shitty sponsored products and promotes pyramid schemes. I prefer the phrase "Content Creator" because it doesn't make me think of anything specific, but I would see that as someone who only does non-traditional media (Not T.V. or movies, only online stuff)
Well he’s not like any other influencer. He’s an extremely educated influencer.
Seeing those ladies argue over whether it was for salad or not was hilarious hahahaha
What is the verdict? Yes or no?
Sobbing 😭 So is it for salad or not tho lmao
The auntie was like "Haiyaaa"
It sounded rather important…like life or death lol
Whether you should/could eat it, after all some lettuce and a slice of tomato is in fact a salad remember...
“This dude love his mangoes” cracked me up
at least it wasn't cucumbers.
"This guy has been here 10 minutes talking about mangoes"
when she said that i pissed myself laughing
haha
Magos are the BEST! Seriously one of the best I have in the summer
Learning someone’s language is such a huge sign of respect for their culture, and you see how quickly they open up and embrace him once he starts speaking.
@Marshall Williams nice
It's very true. I'm an IT project manager and joined a team a while back made up mainly with people from India. I made it a point to start learning some phrases. They laugh at me, but I know it's all good.
yes, i speak 4 languages. My mother is Portuguese, but I speak English, Spanish and Japanese.
This is so true. I'm a medical resident and one of my direct supervisors is from Taiwan. I have worked with him for over 2 years now and he is still very formal and reserved with me, all business all the time. It was almost a year before I even learned that he was married with multiple kids at home. In contrast, there is another resident from China and when they are together he is a completely different person, very animated and chatty. I wish I had the time and energy to learn but that will have to wait until I'm retired probably.
And yet when Americans want immigrants to learn English it's suddenly racist.
Those two chinese women that were arguing if you could die if you eat it raw is the funniest thing ever
Legit dont think that is salad tbh.
@@Outland9000 it looked like dandelion greens
yeah.. seriously wonder what that socalled salad was tho. dandelions to my knowledge are good when young in spring, but will provide a bitter taste and diahrreah if eaten when mature. idk , ,, should really be sure when eating something tho.
LOL, it couldve been 2 spanish ladies arguin about the same shit, we look different, but are soooo much alike. I love us humans. :)
@@avlinrbdig5715 ruclips.net/video/ruoOYQxzIJ8/видео.html I'm pretty sure this video has what you are talking about - just turn on subtitles though as it's in chinese
am I wrong or are these what are we talking about?
The reactions people have when they hear you speak their language/dialect will never get old 😆
Never 😆 I love it lol
The way they cock their heads in disbelief :)
I’m going to make a video of me in the US having the same reaction to any foreign born person who I hear speak English lol. Me: Oh wow your English is amazing! Them: … I’ve been fluent in English longer than you’ve been alive.
Actually, it is getting old...
@@DarqJestor Then don't watch it?🤷♀️ lol
6:06 when she "shoo" her away, I nearly lost it. She was like you're messing up my sale. 😭🤣😭🤣
lmao that woman walking away saying "damn, he really loves his mangos" will go on never knowing the truth haha
I was thinking to myself that he wats alot of mangos.
I feel like people have so much more respect for you when you can speak and understand their language
True they automatically treat you better and give you more things
Ya communication let's us squash fear
Cause they do, when a foreigner learns a language and speaks it to locals they feel honored in a sense.
like they woman who wanted to kill xiaoma with none-edible raw plants, very respectful
People do have a lot more respect for you if you speak their language. And the flip side of that is they tend to think of you as stupid or clueless if you don't. Both are examples of yet another prejudice we need to overcome. There are over 7,000 languages spoken in the world. Few people, even if they are determined, have the time and the money and the opportunity to learn to speak more than two to four languages. Which by this criteria means they are disrespected by millions around the planet.
Speaking in Chinese having Spanish fans run up to you, what a king.
Wow.. it's wonderful that the lady is concerned about the baby, ensuring that he cut the pieces of mangoes smaller for his baby.
I know! I thought her concern was cute haha
well if u think about it, that should be normal
all mangoes i’ve had are extremely soft, i like them very soft
The Spanish guy at the end was so wholesome lol
He was so excited to meet Xiaoma and get that picture.
And his harem too 🤗
@@benjamingrant3441 Harem? 🤦♂
@@gon3808 Okay, mini harem
@@benjamingrant3441 yes officer this guy, right here
it’s really sweet how happy people were when he said his wife is chinese… so many people look down on marrying outside your culture/ethnicity (not even just talking about race; even with different cultures of the same race u see this), so it’s kinda refreshing to see the total opposite happen here
ts good and all, but this makes think about our societies.
Allow me to explain, in the western world, is very normal a non ethnic person been talking the language of that place, there is plenty of non ethnic germans in Germany, speaking german, they were born there, they have german nationality and its normal seeing that today. Can be said the same in France, Portugal etc (not talking about the USA because there is no "ethnic americans" unless you talk about the native americans). It can be said, its even "racist" if you judge someone thinking they dont speak your language or assume they are not from that place.
The other hand, Japanese, Korean or Chinese societies, have deep problems on that field. You can be born in there, but never seen truly as one of them. They make asumptions right away. But because they arent western societies, most people dont talk about this.
Asian women will take any white man. That's nothing new.
Uhh yeah because he's one of the fancy breeds. Nobody except feds cares about fancy breeds mixing.
@@gordusmaximus4990 oh for sure… there’s definitely a very prominent western bias in a lot of the discussions you see about these things. people have this tendency to completely ignore all nuance when it comes to social issues, yknow? xenophobia exists everywhere, and it looks different in different places… it’s pretty egotistical and ignorant of people to act like the way things are in the west are the way things are everywhere
@@theedwardian ???????
When Xiaoma speaks 12 different languages and switch between them, people adore him.
Switching is actually hard when i don't have coffee.
I had to sit at the dinner table and switch between English, Polish, Russian, and Japanese constantly. keeping track of 4 convos in 4 different langauges and being everyones translator is tedious. I slipped up quite a few times throughout dinner, even though when my mind is on the rail of one particular language, I dont have any trouble finding words. Takes a few hours to really sink into a languages flow though.
Also going between Russian-Spanish-English-German is hard too.
Learning mandarin as my #7 Rn.
I know about 1200 words so far, but its going to be a long few months to get to 2200-2500 which is where I start feeling good about speaking.
I feel that my motivation for languages is far more petty than xiaoma though. I don't really like connecting with people and surprising them or anything.. I am just super paranoid and just hate feeling like someone is talking about me behind my back. And the process of studying is relaxing to me.
@@zepeterinma I speak several languages too, English, Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien, Teochew Dialects), Dutch, German, Russian+Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, Malay/Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese, am currently learning Tamil, Khmer and Arabic (has many similarities with Malay/Indonesian)
@@ainzooalgown7589 That's quite a few! Which vocalizations do you find the most unnatural to you?
I learned the arabic alphabet a while back, but some of those guttorals were so difficult for me to pronounce. The tones in Mandarin are quite easy for me to recognize by ear and articulate by comparison.
If they ask if your wife is chinese. Say no she's white....
@@zepeterinma I only speak french (first language), german, english and italian. Switching is a mess indeed
This guy should 100% have his own TV-show, so wholesome and funny at the same time
Yes omg I would watch it all day
its already a RUclips Channel, no need to put it on TV. it would just become a worse version on public Television
@@alterI4 Full of stupid edits, even worse sound effects, and 15 commercials every 60 seconds.
TV is dead dude....here he has his own channel...he has control....RUclips is trailblazing new talent.
@@alterI4 yeah and he probably wouldn’t have a lot of control compared to what he does on YT
"i am an Influencer". That is exactly the kind of influencer we need. I'm so inspired to learn new languages now. Speaking in people's native tongue really breaks the barrier and helps connect.
Aw, I love how the first woman shows concern for your baby they can eat mango or not, very caring!
seemed a little patronizing
@@judgedbytime I find Chinese people are just a bit more upfront about it. Almost Mum like. Just different cultures
I was searching for a comment about that! So so sweet
Some types of mango have a lot of fiber and might irritate babies' throats.
It's starting to be a little weird how everyone in Chinatown or Flushing still doesn't know of the one white guy who walks around with a camera and randomly speaks perfect Mandarin... You should try Chinatown in San Francisco or LA, too!
Vancouver Canada too. Big Chinatown there as well.
Dude nyc is big
NYC is massive
So is the internet 🤷♂️🦅🇺🇲
@@USAAMERICAFUCKYEAH77 lol exactly. so i highly doubt he’s the only white guy with a camera who roams around chinatown.
It is so funny to see him switching from English to Chinese to Spanisch. It’s crazy how you get in touch with so many people around the world by learning languages. I mean he is very talented and learns very fast.. but it still amazes me.
ah yes I too speak spinach
@@mastershooter64 a Little out of context but ok! 👍🏻
5:53 nothing like seeing two mid 40 year old Chinese ladies fighting over salad recipes
The guy running across the street for a photo x'D Cute interactions! I'm shocked you're still managing to find people to surprise with your Chinese, haha.
I mean there are billions of Chinese people in the world. more chinese than any other race of people. it's not that hard.
@@tdb4763 This is in New York though. If you actually look at his videos, you’ll see a lot of them gossiping about a white guy who can speak chinese… that’s him. Most people there probably already know about him, just not his face
@@JoeARedHawk275 there's a China town in every major city in the US. It's still not that hard bro.
@@tdb4763 obviously, but he only does it in New York. It's surprising that he can find people in New York who are shocked by him speaking Chinese.
@@gretchenortner The Chinese American population of the New York City metropolitan area was an estimated 893,697
This is the only man that can call himself a true influencer i swear i’ve never been interested in languages until i came across these videos years ago
He knows how many languages؟
@@AhmedMohamed-fq1kj over 15
influencer in what way?
@@gribbler1695 wdym what way? He's influencing millions upon millions of people about the positives to learning new languages and experiencing new cultures, as well as offering ways for those people to get started. What the internet calls "influencers" these days are people who stand up on camera and dance for 15-20 seconds.
You dont think others are influenced by other people online? Maybe hes the only influencer for you but I am influenced by many
6:00 lol you got the older Chinese women to get into an argument 😂😂
The way you are able to connect with people through communication, when they think it's impossible is seriously soul fulfilling man. I love to see the joy you spread to the world with the hard work you've put into learning the world's languages and bringing people together.
Definitely going to be purchasing one of your courses, you're the guy to be learning it from!
This is so inspiring. I’m currently trying to learn Japanese and whenever I feel like I can’t do it I watch one of your videos for motivation 💛
Same here
頑張りましょう!
Same here, you got this, just keep doing stuff in Japanese and it will keep getting better!
How are you learning it? I want to start learning Japanese and Chinese as well but I don't know where to begin.
@@mathisfi.5593 Try fluent forever!

I love how they immediately consider him family and chat with him like they're life long neighbors
"This dude loves his mangoes" 😂🤣😂☠️
you're soooooooo much more than 'an influencer'. you've a talent, for a start
influences people to learn languages
Xiaomi inspired me to learn Spanish and 10 months later I can speak about pretty much anything I want in Spanish. Now I want to learn Chinese and bought his course
@@shawcremeans1773 Did you learn it yourself or did you take Spanish lessons?
Xiaomi 😂
@@yevaniadistyawindi5185 i spent about 30 hours total actually studying the language and the rest I listen about 2 hours a day of immersion. I also am able to speak with the Mexicans I work with everyday which gets my speaking ability down
I find it interesting how many people make fun of you "behind your back" but once you shock them with your skills it all changes. You have a good sense of humor!
0:45 what an attentive, kind woman
Kinda sappy but true - I really admire how the people with whom you interact genuinely feel GOOD to talk with you! I was born here in the US, so my only frame of reference is through my grandparents. It’s a bit sad to think that immigrants have to give up a central part of their culture to assimilate, and you just keep showing others that their heritage isn’t invisible just because they want a better life for their family.
"This dude really loves his mangoes."
In Canada, often immigrants do not assimilate - they form in ghettos and they keep their communities insular. Even after generations, their youth still speak with a thick accent, and cling to the ways of "the old country" which, in many cases, means holding views that are misogynistic, antisocial, etc. Arguably, their descendants are worse off for it - after all, you leave your country and come to another to start a NEW life, not to continue an old one. The American model, while in your eyes is "sad" is certainly better for immigrants than the Canadian model. That said, I don't know what the American model does differently, but it seems to work.
Harsh, but true.
@@Ejexion There are two types of immigrants , those that migrated by choice ( non fake romances often or business expats) and those wich where urged by " situations".
If it wasn't a free choice they will never adapt and keep klinging to their old "home"
I was a free choice immigrant in 2 countries and know it's not easy to understand some nuances of society yet they might play a big role in your life there .
Communication and interaction is key. How is one supposed to know if no one told you? How is garbage handled? How do you enroll school, what does it costs and what will the results mean ?
And there is the third generation identity problem.
If you aren't born within a nations borders , you will never get the same chances however much your efforts. And some companies exploit the hard working immigrants that just want to show their value and good potential to the new country. Others are tokens played like a puppet. Within their getto , among theirs ,they have identity, value, meaning ,simular moral , compassion and understanding.
@Alex indeed but the rules and cultures should be clear. Americans don't understand european traffic rules on crossings without traffic lights. There are priority rules and there are signs but you would have to do specific research to know and you need to find the correct information.
I once had a problem with making the public buss service stop in a country where they had red buttons on the buss .Grow up in a country where red was emergency button , pushing it unnecessary would give you big fines and trouble. We had blue ones for normal stops and if there where not blue ones it would stop at all stops anyway.
I worked on a airport and we had a problem with people constantly pushing emergency buttons on escalators ( making them blocked all day long). Turned out in their country escalators had a button to reverse the direction of the escalator and they where mistaken.
Walk someones shoes.
Yet learning language is a social ( survival) skill that hasn't got to do with intelligence. It's the first step.
@@Ejexion We have similar insular "ghettos" in many US cities, so that part is the same. But I suppose the one difference between the US and Canada is that the US gets a lot of immigrants who come here wanting to be American and choose to assimilate themselves and in some cases are more "American" and patriotic than a lot of multigenerational Americans are. It's also much harder to legally become an American citizen. It seems that Canada has a lot of easy inroads through old Commonwealth connections which tends to let people in who couldn't care at all about Canada or Canadians or your culture. Cultural appreciation does work both ways after all.
That's really dangerous to tell someone to eat something that could make them sick. I like how she totally dismissed the other lady, lol.
Lots of people thlnk dandelion is just a weed, but it is actually a cousin of lettuce and you can eat it like lettuce. Also you can toast the roots and make a drink that is very similar to coffee.
@@bryanboone7363 In the UK a popular soft drink is Dandelion & Burdock, which is a bit like a root beer or sarsaparilla. Although, like those, most commercial versions use alternative flavourings instead of the actual roots these days.
Dandelion leaf is great for the liver lol. It's bitter and no way dangerous.
@@AJCham Oh that's cool. I've never heard of that. If it tastes like root beer or sarsaparilla I am sure I'd like it.
Haha, dandelion is a delicacy in the olden times, ex. french soup. People only started to see them as weeds when the rich people in victorian times started to have a ‘clean’ garden. They did it to show off to fellow rich neighbors that they spend money to hire workers to have a ‘nicer’ looking grass around their house. Commoners copied them as usual, like marriage. Also, it saved many lives when there was a famine in ww2, which i heard from older people. Btw its the most nutrient dense veggie, except for seaweed (but thats under the ocean).
It’s fun to watch him speak in Mandarin and some respond in Cantonese. I wish I had more opportunity to practice speaking myself!
The ladies fighting over what the “salad” is used for 🤣😂👏🏼
The Asian lady selling the salad while the other one says it's not for salad. 😂

Indeed
I love the lady that tells him we need more babies like that in the world. She is wise beyond her years!
it's because chinese population growth is declining
There are 1.402 billion people in China.
I think that is awesome when your wife calls you up and you start speaking love your videos
Your wife is so beautiful! I know you mentioned before that she doesn't love being featured so it was sweet to see you two together 🤗
At 7:54 the guy actually said "I'm so jealous of you... because of all the languages you speak".
Just a small correction. Awesome video, Xiaoma! ;)
Yep, I confirm cause I'm from Spain like that guy
Was it a mistranslation or just different context term? Could you explain how that got lost in translation?
Oh yeah that makes much more sense.
@@h.4315 I think he must have heard wrong because he says "me das una envidia" which literally means " you give me an envy" meaning basically a lot of envy, he must have heard "me das una mitad" because half in Spanish is mitad or media :)
@@Dnyhh probably said “me das una media”. It would match up with the last syllable of “envidia”, confirming the possibility of mishearing.
Glad you made it to your destination safely. Your gift is amazing! I can watch your videos over and over, to see the joy you bring to so many different cultures.
He is noting but adorable wholesome energy in every single one of his videos and I am already sobbing. Him and his wife are so freaking cute together😍
awww first time seeing your wife im so happy and happy for you
Is this the first time you've shown your wife? She's adorable
This community has to be one of the nicest ive ever seen. Everyone seems really nice and happy.
Oh my God, "I'm like a Spanish Celebrity here." That had me crying in laughter! Best line ever
7:53 "Can you give me half???????"
No, he's saying "¡Me das una envidia [...] por todos los idiomas que hablas!" which can be translated as "I envy you so much for speaking so many languages!"
I'd say from his accent that this man is from Spain.
Oh he's from Spain alright, no doubt about it haha.

Man, I'm grinning from ear to ear through this whole video. It makes me so happy to see people's responses when you speak their language😍😂
Once the language barriers are broken, it’s easy to see that all humans are basically the same. That’s why I like watching your videos. It makes me wonder how many people across the globe would be my best friends if we could speak to each other
You should try learning Finnish. It'll be very difficult to find Finns in New York but there's a Finnish minority in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, if you're able to go there.
I thought you said Finish 😂😂i was like wtf
Finnish New Yorker right here… please try it!!!
That's basically my mom's family.
What a useless language
Nah that’s a pain to learn
I never get bored watching your videos,the reactions of people is so funny,it must be great to be able to speak so many languages,so glad landed safely after your terrible flight must have been horrible 😮
These videos never fail to put a huge smile on my face. Love you Xiaoma!
This cracks me up every time they stop an act like they never heard their language before its hilarious!🤣
It's because they're trying to process English into their own language, and so when you speak their language, it sounds like gibberish immediately because it's not English. It's like getting talked to right as you wake up, they're speaking your language but you have no idea what's coming out of their mouth because you were unprepared
@@fredrickatchison4542 Yeah, I think most people experience this sensation though. For me, I get it a lot at work. Since everybody at my work speaks English, but I am the only person who speaks only English, and there are usually at least 4 languages (including English) being spoken at once in a small space. So when somebody talks to me in English, I almost always need them to repeat it, as for the first 5 seconds or so, I didn't even know they were speaking English, so my brain wasn't even trying to understand it.
Your wife is so cute!! God Bless you both ☺️
I'm amazed by our fambase here, everytime someone comes up to meet you they keep it short and sweet. They don't seem to harrass you for crap. And you're such a nice guy for taking pictures and being genuine to your fans. Just a lovely family to he apart of, one of the few truly overwhelming positive places on the internet
Love this guy. Honestly been there for years providing great content, deserves every bit of fame he gets and i mean that truely.
First scene. It's like when she hears him speaking Chinese, then she shows him other stuff, the good stuff (like you guy deserve the best now 😄). (I know it just seems so, but it's funny)
no, the lemons were just around the corner...!
@@p4cks I know. I said "it looked like".
@@valyriantime910 you didn't say "it looked like" you said "its like"
@@p4cks Well, two can play it literal, if you will: I didn't say "its like" either, I said "it's like". And both expressions convey an idea of appearance. I was not saying what things were, but rather what they looked like, or what they were like to me at first sight. And since I was not stating facts, I don't see the point in making a whole business out of it. Particularly, since I literally said "I know it just seems so" ("seem" being a synonumous of "look like".) So again I don't see why one would feel the need to correct a person who already tempered their own words.
@@valyriantime910 TL;DR
What you're doing is awesome mate, not only making interesting and enjoyable content to watch but you're building bridges at the same time.
Awesome to see these markets first hand. And AWESOME idea for language courses. So many language offerings these days, but the real experiences behind yours tell their own story.
I never get tired of this wholesome content. Thank you for your passion
Thank you to your wife for being in a video!
Some say this is getting old, but it never fails to astonish me. The language is the path to every peoples heart.
You are so awesome! Bravo to you for learning so many languages. If the whole world did what you do, things would be so much better!
The dad getting a photo at the end with his family waving bye was too wholesome of an ending ❤
I love this guy. As many times as I have seen him he never gets old.
Love to see a video of you speaking Irish 🇮🇪 but I doubt anyone in New York speaks it as it's not even spoken across Ireland. Would just be nice to see someone highlight and promote the language.
I agree!! It'd be so cool. He should come to Ireland 😍
As an Irish man raised in America I've always wanted to try and find someone who speaks it. The wor... c something or other (can't think of the channel) had a guy come up to him in one of his videos who spoke it and I have yet to hear it since
@@TeamEchoBitch It's great your interested in the language but it's not too difficult to find someone who speaks it as we are thought it in school here I just ment not many people keep it up. You can see videos of Conor McGregor speaking it if that helps. Were you born here yourself?
Love your videos man, inspired me to go back and learn Spanish. I gave up on it in highschool
Your videos are entertaining and fun to watch. What I like the most tho, is that you still take the time and pose for a foto with your fans an appreciate them when they recognize you.
Like in one video some random guy passes by "Hey Xiaoma" "Whats up dude" These exchanges are really wholesome.
I love how friendly the Chinese people are when you get to know them, awesome videos.
at 7:54 he's actually saying "You make me so jealous" and then clarifies its because of all the languages Xiaoma can speak, wasn't expecting spanish to be on this video lmao
Amazing content as per usual! Actually just started learning mandarin this week because of you!
true.
yeah he definitely said "you make me so jealous with all those languages you speak"
Dijo "Me das una envidia, por todos los idiomas que hablas" podría traducirse cómo "You make me so jealous cause of all the languages you speak"
@@finallyintroducingloona4472 He was Spanish no cap.
I love watching your channel. it is near and dear to my heart. My wife is Chinese, and I've been learning Mandarin. I love surprising her with new words and phrases.. I live in Mexico, so I'm learning Spanish as well. My Spanish is better than my Mandarin. It sometimes is a challenge when I have to speak both Spanish and mandarin in the same conversation, like being in a store and getting information from one of the employees and then translating for my wife.... I will sometimes mix up the languages... So much fun!
love your videos man, been binging them.
We may come from different places and speak in different tongues, but we breathe the same air and our blood flows as one 🤙
not sure if that lady was trying to kill you with the death by salad technique or not 😄
"You just need to prepare it right" - You mean like blowfish, so Xiaoma doesn't die?
Dandelion is healthy for you, it's not dangerous at all, the other lady don't know what she's talking about. Amazing benefits, it's packed with nutrients and vitamins. Look it up. 🙃
this is too wholesome omg i can’t stand it! love you xiaoma
I love that people can come up to you and feel comfortable starting off in their native language because you’ll probably know it. It must be a really comforting feeling.
It would actually be really cool to hear you and your wife talking to each other. And you two going to China Town and talking with people 🙂
the guy at the end didn’t say “can you give me half?” he said he “ I envy u bc of how many languages u speak” he’s probably from spain by his accent 😂
Thanks for all of your videos, I've been watching a lot of them lately and you really did inspire me to actually speak to someone in their language today. I've studied some Dutch, though my grammar is not good, and have been learning Hindi because I like to cook Indian food and most recipes are in Hindi, but I have difficulty practicing with others. I'm currently studying Biblical Hebrew and New Testament Greek, but want to also learn more spoken languages like Spanish, Finnish, and Romanian. Today, though, I had to ask someone for help with something who didn't know much English, so I pulled out Google Translate and practiced speaking it since I already know a few words. The lady was so kind and it was such a relief to not feel judged. I think she was glad that I was making the effort, and I really thank you for that motivation to get out there and just speak. I hope to continue learning more. Looking forward to more of your videos, stay safe out there!
I recommend just studying modern Israeli Hebrew rather than Biblical Hebrew, you will easily be able to read and understand much of the Torah in the original if you knowi the modern language (obviously there are differences) ; but if you onlyt learn Biblical Hebrew, you will have a hard time communicating in modern Hebrew.
Seeing how happy people get when you speak their language really makes me want to learn as many as I can
