Learning a language specifically to talk to friends/acquaintances shows them so much respect.
In most cases yes. I agree. But this wasn't how it worked out for me. I learned French especially to communicate with my in-laws. Never got a smile or a word of encouragement. Always got told I wasn't learning fast enough and even sometimes implying that I didn't even try hard enough. I somehow never gave up and today I speak French at near native level fluency. Never get stuck for words or expressions.

@@carlitofernandez1922 what the hell 😭
@Carlito Fernandez here in the Philippines, if you say to someone that you gain weight, we treat that as nothing or a compliment however if you said that to British, European or American people, they might be offended immediately to what you said this is why be careful when you mentioning weight issues to these group of people.
@@carlitofernandez1922 hey, it's the shirt that's to small.
as a filipino, this guy speaks pretty well for 3 weeks in. all he needs to focus now is just his accent and enunciation and he's all good to go
tama!!
Yes, he also is speaking so fast, not that it's wrong but it kind of throws off the enunciation. But not bad after 3 weeks. I understand Tagalog but speaking it in conversation is harder for me.
@@conallen1 same here, sometimes my mouth can’t keep up with what I want to say
yeh true, well done to this guy, multilingual
I speak pero Hilygaynon kag gamay lang for me the pandemic prevents go out -> and learn more in the street -> with a child and a wife and family not easy to risk.
Yeah man agreed. I've been trash at speaking Filipino my whole life, but I'd like to say my accent is fairly decent in comparison. That being said Xioma looks like he can construct sentences even better than I can. Pretty crazy for 3 weeks
That woman's laugh @ 5:41 is just everything pure. Xiaoma has a way of making every just feel a little more proud of their culture, whilst bridging the gap between ours and theirs. He is not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.
This mad lad spent three weeks learning Tagalog just to impress this community and shock his friends
now that's pure dedication
Free your people
@@kenshibual3091 hahahaha
He still has a long way to go though, the Filipina girl said that she sounds "Very American". The Filipino words that he mentioned here didn't even get past 10-20 words.

The most filipino thing you would ever hear no doubt HAHAHA
@Anna Marfa HAHAHAHAAHHAHA
When I was trying to describe how to pronounce Tagalog words to my friend, I kinda came up with these rules:
1. Vowels never interact with each other (two vowels next to each other means they’re pronounced as separate syllables)
2. Consonants also never interact with each other (same as above) EXCEPT for “ng” and (technically) “ts”
3. “ng” is considered one letter and is read as how you’d think to read it
4. “ts” doesn’t naturally exist in the Tagalog vocabulary, but it’s supposed to replace the “ch” sounds in non-Tagalog based words (e.g. kutsara, tsinelas, etc.)
5. Every vowel ends a syllable
6. A consonant only ends a syllable if the next syllable starts with another consonant, proceeded by a dash (pag-asa, tong-its, etc.), or is at the end of the word
7. The letter “C” doesn’t exist in the alphabet, hence the soft C sound also doesn’t exist (e.g. face, hence, etc)
8. “F” and “V” also don’t naturally occur in the language, hence why Filipinos tend to mix up “F“ with “P“ and “V” with “B”
9. Vowels generally only have one sound: “A” (ah), “E” (short-e like “Sell”), “I” (ee), “O” (short-o like “Short”), “U” (oo)
Those pointers got my friend reeeally close in pronouncing Tagalog words very decently. He even managed to very convincingly sing “Hallelujah” by Bamboo in karaoke lool
THANKS I'M FILIPINO AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LEARN BUT IT'S BEEN HARD FOR ME
These are some helpful pointers thanks
spot on!
This is pretty good!
Thank you for breaking it down!
I appreciate it! I look forward to learning. 🤗
Learning a language is one thing. You have gone there, appreciated their people, their culture and even contributed to their community. You are so amazing. I respect you so much
Can I just say I love how you build relationships with the shop owners and stop by from time to time to say hi. It makes my heart so happy ❤️

Great quote by the man who completely fucked up my reality lol.
@@BxrHavik Mandela Effect ? 😂
@@kingvoltzxix3633 Yes lol. I was fine until I learned of all the things that have been changed. I've been trying to figure out how its possible. I know for a fact that things were different, I'm not just misremembering like idiots try to say just because they themselves don't remember things like that. Things were one way and then they were different. I personally believe in Quantum Immortality. because my family isn't the same family I grew up with, they are just different. They have different memories and don't remember fundamental things in my past that definitely happened. Quantum Immortality could easily explain all this by saying that my consciousness was transferred to an alternate world with the people having slight variations in memories of my past and theirs and movie quotes, peoples names, etc being slightly different. However if this is the reason for the Mandela effect and everyone who experiences it is someone who has died and been transferred to an alternate reality, then why is there residual evidence of the old world? This seems impossible. However there is recordings of the Oscars of the host saying show and movie titles and quotes from those movies the way they were originally. How could they possibly get get something like that wrong? That would be all over the news the next day, you don't just get things wrong at the Oscars lol. Star Wars is another big one that people remember being "Luke, I am your father." and there is undeniable proof that it was like this in the movie Tommy Boy (1995) when Tommy Boy is talking into his fan on his office desk saying "Luke.... Luke.... I am your father.... lo la lay lo" Richard his coworker / friend then walks in and tells him to get to work and then Tommy Boy says "That was Star Wars..." and Richard saying "I know." So we have the quote, the person saying it saying where the quote was from and Richard agreeing as if this was common knowledge. Thus proving that this cant be just written off as a misquote or saying its something else. There's so many examples of this were there is residual evidence of the old world, but how? This makes me think that it might not be Quantum Immortality, because there shouldn't be residual evidence if we were transferred to an alternate reality. but if its not that, then how come my family are completely different? And its not like they just say things that I experienced differently. The family I grew up with has said things one way and then now they have no memory of these things. For example my mother told me when I was young that when I was born I came out blue because I had the umbilical cord wrapped around my throat and they called me the miracle baby because I should have suffocated. However now my mother says that never happened. If Quantum Immortality isn't the reason for the Mandela effect, I can't easily explain this and other things people say I've done that have never happened. The only way that I can explain that and residual evidence coexisting is that we live in a simulation and the inconsistent timelines is a glitch; however this is a bit of a stretch for most people, myself included lol.
My wife is Filipina, so this one hits home for me...it's embarrassing how much better you speak Tagalog than I do!
My SO is Filipino and after watching this i decided to learn again. Try anki!
I feel you.
Don't be embarrassed as long as you can understand your good bra!
"ABAKADA" Filipino alphabet try it. It can help you and also spoke to your wife with filipino language that you know. Para mahasa ka sa pagsasalita ng tagalog. 😁
I know enough so I don't go hungry there.
As a native Tagalog speaker, you really amazed me with your ability. A normal person studying Tagalog in just 3 weeks wouldn't even construct some conversational sentences.
It's a type of language that you really have to learn from childhood. Some foreigners living in the Philippines for a decade couldn't even get it right till now. If you really want to learn the language, you need to start early and maybe, watch a lot of Filipino shows (no matter how cliche it is) LOL. and of course talk Tagalog with some people too. Assimilation is a great way for learning a language.
True. Vivamax movies are a great start to learn spicy Tagalog
This guy speaks Tagalog to the girl outside and finds out she’s Chinese and immediately switches his channel. I love this dude

I'll be fuming mad if someone would say that this is pinoybaiting lol. Imagine 3 weeks?! You'll learn a another language in just 3 weeks? You're really awesome man!
I agree. think someone who learns our language through request of his filipino fans and immerse himself with the community cant be pinoy baiting.

I’ve never commented on your videos. I’ve been watching then following for a long time. You are truly a “class act”! What you do is not only a joy to watch, it inspires us to take that chance at learning another language. You are causing hearts of different countries and cultures to be United. You are the cause of many new friendships and helping to unite ALL of us as a world family.

@@myhappycorneronlineshop natutuhan not natutunan
@@mysticjay6777 point taken but the natutunan (inaral pointing to a person) is the common tagalog usage used by many nowadays. Whereas "natutuhan" is meant the same as "naturuan" "ko" (meaning pointing " to myself as the one talking" if that is what you have perceived and means. Art of first personification and so on and so forth.
I love how brave you are! I think no matter it’s the languages or going to all these countries You are so brave putting yourself self out there This is the constant in your videos

Don't forget to add "po" when speaking to the aunties and uncles, pare.
True and when I'm in Woodside I always order in Filipino since my mom is a frequent visitor there from her work Upper West Side by Cathedral Saint John the Divine subway station 110th Street Cathedral Parkway 1 train
Indeed 😂
3 weeks?! Hanep ang galing mo talaga. I’m half, immigrated from the P.I. at 2 years old, AND I’m horrible in Tagalog comparison to Xiaoman’s 3 weeks.
Hes deffinitely amazing! He speaks tagalog in just three weeks?!!!! Its an honor having you at our back to support filipinos.I hope i could see you personally sir thank you.1000000000000 thumbs up to you godbless
Don't forget to add PO at the end of a sentence when you're speaking to the elders. It's like a sign of respect to them.
I even do it to my PH girl as a joke even through she is younger than me. I even call my Pusas "hi kitty po" haha. We are stuck apart, and have to travel to Brazil every few months to see each other with the endless PH lockdown-it's sad. I even have a K-1 applied for in the USA since January, but will take 2 years I suspect as illegals FLOOD the USA from the south. She is learning Portuguese and Spanish as we travel together with me.
I learned that today ☺️
HOW EVEN- I’m half Philippino and I don’t know Tagalog and this video warms my heart
Fax like I wanna learn but don’t have time yet
SAME. I swear it's because she just doesn't want me to know what she's saying on the phone.
She must be talking hella shit.
You can start by spelling it properly. It's FILIPINO
I am white and have been speaking Tagalog since I taught myself via immersion and reading when I moved to the provinces when I was 19 years old. I am 32 now and living in the Philippines again. Later I will react to this video and see if he has improved upon his knowledge of Tagalog and the Philippines since his first videos were very obviously Pinoybaits, I am interested to see if he has genuinely taken learning Tagalog to heart and not just as a sensational title to garner more views.
use it as inspiration to learn :D there's apps and websites that can help
The more I watch your videos, the more I see the similarities in some of the languages I wouldn't have necessarily expected. Very cool. This is such a special talent to be able to pick up languages and communicate to almost anyone in the world!
Hey Xiaoma. I'm a Filipino and I've subscribed to your channel and Laoshu's channel since 2020. I really hope that you continue to learn Tagalog and hopefully be the first foreigner to actually get the accent right. Thanks Xiaoma!
I like how she was honest and said it sounds American but she can understand it. Most people won’t give honest (constructive) feedback and that doesn’t really help people improve.
Though I know all of the Chinese speakers in the videos universally agree that they wouldn’t know he wasn’t a native speaker and I believe they’re all being 100% honest there. Super talented I wish I could speak as much as Xiaoma I can only speak a bit of French and Spanish.

My favorite thing about this channel is that you illustrate how if we all took the time to communicate a little better, people aren't quite so shitty
when you speak English, you're building bridges
but when you learn and speak * insert language *, you close the gap and understand the culture and its people
I appreciate that you learn Tagalog in a few weeks, which is a rare feat despite of overpowering American accent
thanks for learning our language! ❤️
For an American who learned Tagalog in 3 weeks, you have more vocabulary than some of my Filipino cousins who live in the US. Also, it's ok that you have an accented Tagalog since you ARE still American. Your effort to speak Tagalog in itself is very impressive already, just a few more days and practice with your Filipino friends and I'm sure you'll have it down pat. Good job @Xiaomanyc 小马在纽约 !
Bruh I moved to the US and strictly spoke English 98% of the time and absorbed quite a bit of standard american accent and I sound like this dude trying to speak tagalog 😭

True. I've been watching his videos for 2 years already and I never see him like doing Pinoy-baiting thing. He has really a heart, a passion in learning different languages. I really love him and to what he has been doing in his videos.
You know a place is Filipino when there's Jollibee
The kid in the cafe stole the show. What I love about Tagalog are the similarities with Spanish. The Philippines, just like Cuba and other Latino nations were colonized by Spain so the Spanish influence is quite strong. We are different brothers from the same mother. Proof that even though Latinos and Filipinos live on different continents, we are much closer together than we think.
Yes! When i worked at Subway there was an older filipina woman named Raymunda that acted like our mother hen at work. Always took care of us and always told us she loved mexicans bc we understand each other. Then told us that back when she was in school she had to learn spanish in order to graduate.
We’re known as the Latinos of Asia
Philippines was like a daughter of Spain which was then adopted by the USA.
@@Jos8643 they didnt say that. Chill foo
Jolibee is not very nice though. The spaghetti is too sweet and the non-spicy chicken has almost no taste.
You are very good at learning languages. Very few people can learn Tagalog in 3 weeks, and you are already conversational. Good job!
its so weird to see you filming a video at little manila where i go all the time haha. this video made me so happy, although i myself don’t know tagalog (my parents speak hilagayon so thats what i grew up with but even with hilagayon i only know a little bit since i lost my fluency after starting school) it makes me so happy to see you speaking a filipino language and walking around little manila
That's why I love this person's vlogs. He's basically cracking the language boundary among men.
CIA should hire this guy. He speaks every language in the planet.
he is ACTUALLY....at least for my own perspective....lol
Yeah but he's too friendly lol thats a good thing.
If I remember correctly, he used to work for the government as an interpreter of some sort and he quit to do RUclips full time.
but he will not lie to people for greedy reasons. his heart is good. so cia is not a job for him

Xiaoma looks like he's having a heart of a Filipino, and he even tried to learn speaking Tagalog......Pinoy loves this guy so much....I'm sure if he'll visit Manila pagkaguluhan to....
Just realized Tagalog and Spanish have a lot of similar words, I caught things like “para” and “pero” here and there. I looked it up and apparently they have a lot of loan words but no real big connections. The more you know🤷🏽♂️
300 yrs of colonization will do that
@@valerieratilla9893 true
whatchu mean no real connections? we use uno dos tres quatro to count as well, ask a Filipino to list kitchen utensils, 'kutchara'
, 'tenedor', 'plato', etc it just differs a bit in spelling. more than 90% of us has a spanish surname.
I think so too because if the language connection is that big I would be able to understand Spanish and not just recognize and associate with some words and phrases. No offense to my fellow Filipinos, this is just an opinion based on my observations and experiences as someone who is from Zamboanga City with half of my relatives having Spanish names and surnames. Our city is dubbed "Asia's Latin City. (I could be wrong tho, or I am simply dumb when it comes to languages..😅✌)
@@ayliroleplaytv9686 I've heard the expression that Philippines is the Mexico of Asia. So possibly the connection is much deeper!

Anyway have a nice day. Bonne journée à vous.
@@brxnv_ All of the Spanish words in Tagalog have been ‘Tagalicised’ in that the spelling and pronounciation of the word has been adapted to how a Tagalog speaker would pronounce the word. Hence “como esta” became “Kumusta”. “Veinte” became “bente”.

I'm American-Filipino and never learned the language due to parents assimilation concerns. I should start! I tried in the past but people made fun of me for learning so I gave up. This video made me realize I'm just around shitty people to learn from 😩
Kumusta? Have you started practicing your Tagalog yet? =)
Felt I’m completely separated from my Filipino side of the family
Dude I'm Mexican and i love the Tagalog language (not fluently yet), i recommend getting pimsleur imo it's the fastest way to learn Filipino.
bruh i just started yesterday. My mom is Filipino and for some reason I just never tried.
Same! Growing up my parents always told me I was American. They only spoke English to me. I always understood Tagalog but would always respond in English when spoken to.
About 10 years ago, I was hired by a Filipina Dentist and the other Assistant was also Filipino. I learned how to converse with them over time.
Now that I’m older, sometimes when i speak English to my mother, she doesn’t understand my Chicago accent so i quickly switch Tagalog so she can understand. It is so beautiful and fun, and now i prefer to speak Tagalog with my friends and family.
Friend who haven’t seen me in a long time are blown away when they hear me speaking Tagalog.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long! I’m half Filipino and half English and my mums friends are so surprised when I talk Tagalog because I’m very white.
felt this
its even more surpising when half filipino people who dont look filipino at all start speaking perfectly in a tagalog accent instead of like a gringo
Where are the Filipinos in UK? I need friends!
You are so cool you learn speaking/learning tagalog in just 3 weeks... awesome man
6:14 the most Filipino pose while taking a picture
I’m so amazed of people who can easily learn languages and has the confidence to speak to natives!!! That takes a lot of talent and effort!! Respect man🤍
I love how he supports all the businesses by buyinh something from every place he visits.
He is a nice dude, carrying on the legacy of Laoshu505000
I just can't imagine what it's like to just be in public feeling so confident and not having any social anxiety.
Imagine having money while filming, lol
Yea and he even got tics, I would be so embarrassed.
That's because he's white.
Introverts UNITE!
I know right, I get really anxious for the dude just by watching his vids
tho credit where its due and props for Xiaoma
wish I had his confidence
I just want to hug that lady she is so sweet and has the BEST personality.
I work with a few people from the Philippines, and I have learned very little although I have wanted to learn more. This video has been a pleasure for me to watch. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I am a bit envious that he learned Tagalog. My wife is Filipino. We have a son and daughter that was born in the Philippines, but I am 100% American. American culture just does not encourage Americans to speak multiple languages. I just can't pick my wife and family's native tongue up or Tagalog. I just can't hear it. You can get by in the Philippines without understanding or speaking any of the many languages there, but life is just much easier if you can speak at least Tagalog. At least you will never hear, "I have nose bleed" or, "I've run out of English".
Bond with them, you can learn it easily.
You can do it sir kaya mo iyan they will teach you 😁😁
As I said, and this should not be dismissed. There are strong (very strong) reasons and historical backgrounds on the mechanics of American culture. One of those historical-cultural dynamics is to control Americans, to control the citizenship. One way to control people is to control their language. American educational system discourages multiple language education. Even though Spanish, French, and German are often offered in high school, it isn't encouraged and made very difficult for students to pick up new languages. You should also consider the reason those three languages are offered as electives in the first place. There is a long history behind Europe's involvement in American culture.
You should also take into account the fact that Americans don't travel when you look at the total numbers. Taking the numbers into account, only a few Americans travel or even know what their own country looks like on a map or a globe, let alone knowing other languages.
In my personal experience living for 6 years in the Philippines, I could find no one interested in teaching me the local language. I found it very difficult to even have an English conversation with Filipinos in general for extended periods of time, let alone teach me their language. I don't say these things to criticize Filipinos in any way. In fact, it is more of a commentary of how our American system of separatism and nationalism.
@@ZebraFacts I appreciate your info and at the same educating us a little about the system there. That's a shame that it isn't encouraged. But I actually laughed at the bit where you said about "I have nosebleed" and "I've run out of English" because it's so true. 😂😂😂
@@HollowDolly I laughed at myself when I figured out that the person that first made that comment in my presents, their nose wasn't actually bleeding! I am known to take a lot of things literally, as I did when I someone said they were having a "nosebleed". To top it all off, I only said a few words to that person.
When I am talking with my Filipino family and friends, in the Philippines, I always keep in mind that even though they speak very clear American English, they may only be able to do it in short spurts comfortably. So, I usually don't say much at all. Except for one brother-in-law. He loves speaking English, and when he sees me, we talk for hours at a time. Being that he is older, we talk mostly about when Marcos was in office and how he feels that the most positive thing the Americans brought to the Philippines, was a structured educational system.
Respect to this guy making so much effort for all his fans. Learning languages is hard.
I've been learning Tagalog for about a month now and I'm glad I could understand almost everything you said 😊
One thing to remember, no long vowels in Tagalog.
Blessed your heart Xiaoma and looking forward for more videos from you man!
Just wanna say thanks for promoting our culture, from food to language. You're the best!
This guy must be a genius to speak so many languages lol
This moved me to post a comment.
Man you're really special you know
What a dedication to learn languages
RESPECT!!
This was a great one, so many happy people!
He is bringing people together one language at a time.
I love how Filipinos react. They’re so appreciative and enthusiastic.
as a Filipino, I love receiving stuff so the part where pinoys were so ready to accept them was so relatable 🤣🤣
You have a really good understanding and vocabulary for learning in just 3 weeks. I wonder what is the update now. You might be so fluent now!
Wow she’s the owner I meet her last Saturday OMG she’s so humble ❤️❤️❤️.
People who think he is baiting Filipinos, I think I would be proud that an influencer promotes the Philippines
Yeah, and not everyone who post a video that consists of the the philippines isn't filipino baiting (because I saw a comment saying he is filipino baiting) + not all of his content are philippines related.
Bubs and Doe is shakingggg
Its the Filipinos fault to be so gullible really. You won't see a normal American get excited if a foreigner makes a video about them lol
Bro did you know before he even blew subscribers in his channel. Filipinos are the first one to make him famous. Maybe he just feels gratified because of that.
@@johnbasbastv6052 at the end of the day we just admire xiaoma for being such a good linguist. I do speak three languages but, oh does anime languages count?
Omg Xiaoma ur such a fast learner...ur Tagalog is awesome....3 weeks is just wow....maybe roughly around like 3 months for sure ur very fluent in speaking Tagalog nah talaga....u can also used TaglisH...combined tagalog and englisH....I hope u can make another video speaking in TagaloG.... We are waiting on that...
proud Filipino here.. wow he learned so fast for a 3 weeks... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Kumusta sounds almost like como está in spanish. We have to remember that Spain was in the Philippines for 300 years.
yes, I know this from Jo Koy! :)
Yes that's it. 100%
"Kumusta" was literally derived from "como esta". We just change the spelling since we don't have "c" on our alphabet and then combined the two words.
ye, Spain colonized the Philippines for 333 years.
@@StreetDrivenDaily 😂
Yay! I spent two years studying Tagalog almost every day after work and have very little to show for it. Full emersion would be great, but whenever I go to the Philippines, I'm in the Visayas! So it isn't much a practical thing, but a hobby. Would like to learn Bisaya eventually through full emersion.
Very well done Xiaoma! I am very impressed on your skills and having to learn Filipino/Tagalog. 👏
So much good vibes that’s great! Congratulation!
It really makes me happy that he did Filipino. I'm Filipino so it's great to see. I have a challenge though. Try to learn a smaller Filipino language known as ilonggo.
It may be harder to find those that speak it
Ako. Balan ko na!
i can speak a bit of illonggo and bisaya or visaya? idk. im trying to learn japanese atm
Banyaga ako na nakatira dito sa Pilipinas. Balak kong matuto ng Ilocano at Bisaya.
basi magkandaramaal sya eh
