Anyway, I recently spent a month secretly learning the rare Maasai language and then visited a rural Maasai village in the extremely remote southwest corner of Kenya. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience to surprise these hardcore Maasai warriors by becoming one of the only foreigners ever to speak their language. Thanks to @SeaboltSpeaks for tagging along and helping film. It was quite expensive to make this video so thanks so much to Temu for helping out by sponsoring it, and I’ll be donating much of the proceeds after costs to Amref Health Africa which is headquartered in Kenya and supports the health of rural communities like the Maasai which are facing a very difficult drought in East Africa. Consider donating if you can! And thanks so much to www.incrediblekenyaadventures... for helping organize this entire trip, if you want to go to Kenya Francis is your man!!

Impressive af 🤯
You should learn the African click language
Nice one, smashed it again, big smile on my face throughout.
You are the man! Thank you for spreading friendship throughout the world.
The throat singing was so cool.
When they fixed his necklace, that is a tremendous sign of respect. God bless Kenya!
❤❤❤ they where looking out for him!
I love that part!
What a wonderful opportunity. To be able to speak their language is incredible. Thank you for sharing your always interesting videos! ♥️👍♥️
Oh wow really? 😮
I thought that was so sweet.
No matter where you are in the world, everyone's face lights up when they find out you can speak their language.
Edit: Okay folks I get it. There are 250 replies to this comment, and 90% of them say the same thing. Not in France or English speaking countries.
I know a lot of Spanish speakers and I always ask them to speak to me in Spanish and then in English so I can learn.
Except in US and UK, you're expected to speak English there
Edit : and probably Australia and Canada
@@gheryl_m you gotta make edit 2 for new zealand
Except France and Germany 😂
Agree.
It s a kind of respect
I've been studying languages for a while now and I've never had someone in another country say "Feel welcome here as if it were your home" just for me taking the time to learn their language. It really shows how friendly and inclusive these Maasai men are. There are some countries and peoples who are friendly, but not as welcoming and open to foreigners as these people were.
Not gonna lie, that brought a tear to my eye. Especially seeing them as initially standoff'ish and then once they saw he was putting in an effort and speaking their language, he was invited to the cookout.
It is said also in Spain as well as in my country, Germany. "Fühle dich wie Zuhause" (feel like home)
That's mostly the normal way of humanity
It truly was beautiful. I am so impressed with not only he can speak some a language, but that he understands what the fluent speakers are saying. Understanding what someone is saying is hard for me.
@@eternitywithjesus777 I doubt he actually understood that much. He always edits out all the times he has to ask for help with translation.
This made me emotional. They appreciated the respect he showed them by learning the language and speaking with them not as a tourist but as a student of their culture. So sweet.
Me too! I'm laugh-crying watching this.
As a kenyan masaai from this same village,its heartwarming to see you being a great ambassador not only to America but our village too.. respect bro
@Jermar Williamson wow if that's true I want some of that
@Jermar Williamson it's called rizz
@@ShrimpDaddys I have heard off rizz before maybe I should try it
Amazing video. Access to so much we’ve never seen. Generous people to share so much of their culture
@Jermar Williamson
Apparently, the secret ingredient in the fragrance comes from the herd.
He learned a language and gained a culture. This kind of friendship and connection can't be replaced by money. Beautiful.
Yeah you said it right. The culture thing is the most significant of it all i think. The language just helped him in that. It took him real effort to learn this im sure. That's dedication right there.
Tbf, it took him money to get to Kenya but I'm just being pedantic lol
In a month lol
So true
FACTS ITS ALL ABOUT RESPECT FOR SOMEONE ELSES CULTURE
I don't know why but seeing people light up when they see someone speaks their language is such an amazing moment and really is cool.
"Stay one year"
I honestly, would LOVE the opportunity to stay for a year. Just focusing on providing for yourself and the village. No having to worry about political parties or recessions or anything like that.
He spoke their language and was adopted on the spot… then the children wanted to give him one of their dogs… that is an incredible level of acceptance for only being there for a few days.
The whole world could learn a tremendous amount from this one video alone.
Wasn't he there like a DAY? Amazing
Speaks more about the basic kindhearted- Ness of the people who have been demonised by the global North, where incidentally basic kindness is hard to come by. Imagine that.😅
Real
the culture is so loving and open...i understand how the western world did it
I noticed this too. This is what life should be about. Acceptance of all and cherishing moments with one another. Unfortunately the west is not like this anymore.
When the Maasai people realized that your intentions were good, their hospitality became unmatched!
multiple people telling him their village is now his home is so heartwarming
Exactly
@@rooktookyouracer6152and when they said “family” 🥹
"They might not have running water, but they all have smartphones and Tik Tok"
That's actually really funny. I wonder what the logistics of that are.
Did you see those smiles when you started speaking their language? What beautiful, beautiful people. You my dear are a GREAT ambassador for the US! Thank you for the share! ♥️
15:07 "How do you find friends? Do you and the neighbor live together?"
Xiaomanyc "We might live in a big building together but we might not even know our neighbor"
"That's a... very unique way of living"
That hit me hard.
Word! Im sitting here like damn, I dont engage with my neighbors at all.
Same
I'm fortunate to live in a neighborhood who knew each other and love giving what they can offer.
I felt that
same! such a slap in the face
Wow that is a great honor for them to say "You are Maasai!"and "You are welcome to our home"
And all in like first 2 min lol.
I can’t think what higher honor they could give tbh
@@Syclone0044 Exactly!
And they Named him.
@@wombleofwimbledon5442 YES!
This guy is amazing. I was a doubter at first, but he is the real deal. Also, most African people are warm, trusting, and genuine. There are exceptions just like any Continent, but the tribal people will share their food with you, even if it is barely enough to keep them nourished.
I am grateful I have travelled to Kenya and met some of the Maasai people. Some of the warmest, kindest people I will ever meet. The way they welcomed you like family when you spoke their language was beautiful. This video was so lovely. I’d love to learn how to speak Maa and/or Swahili and visit again in the future.
I love how they have phones and are completely aware of 'the modern world' yet they were able to keep their culture and traditions.
Look into what they did historically, makes sense how the Sparta of Africa still exists
Comeone we are not wild animals you know
@@olabenne5519 I know that's what I am saying. It is very clear you guys have the same things and knowledge as we do in Europe for exemple, yet that's all we have.. we literally live like that. You guys modernized yet you kept the beauty of the culture alive and didn't let go. Like even countries like Japan or India, where our way of living was introduced, they ddin't keep things the way they were.. you rarely see people in tokio wearing a kimono for exemple.. like they still do but not really in theird daily lives
@@fien4878 That's good proof that modern convenience doesn't really dilute or destroy culture unless it's allowed to do so.
They don’t want to end up too much like America. Look at the connection they have
I love how they INSTANTL Y dap him up when he starts speaking their language. That's an amazing human connection
they probably wouldn't dap up someone like Travis Scott or Lil Yachty if they went to Kenya.
They'd be like who are these disrespectful thugs that you have brought to our village.
@@AJ-iu6nw I dunno that seems like a value judgment. I try to be respectful even to those who I view as disrespectful 🤷♂️
@@AJ-iu6nw What relevance does that have to anything?
@@ConFamGaming You are what we should all strive to be.
That was sick haha
They all seem like such kind and genuine people, it shows how the stresses of city life get to people. They were immediately so polite and welcoming to some random American guy
This is beautiful. An experience I imagine they will ALWAYS talk about and remember for years ahead!
They are lovely people and their culture is fascinating.
It’s crazy because it seems like most of them also speak English but him learning their language showed like a mutual respect and interest I bet they felt very honored to meet someone who values their culture enough to learn more and connect with them. I love Humanity ❤
Truly spectacular
Kenya's official languages are Swahili and English so it makes sense with English being the second commonly spoken official language in the nation. Around 80% of Kenyans can speak English
@@wallflower15875 wow that's interesting thanks for sharing
Most Kenyan schools teach in English…
@@Zazezoo ok?
this young white guy could literally be the Ambassador for the World he knows so many languages. It shows his amazing intelligence and his love for all cultures. One of a kind to be sure
A lot of us wish they had your talent to learn different languages. African Americans lost their language.
@@esmeraldapooner751 If it's lost that implies people want to find it. He spent a month gaining just a very quick slice of their language he's not likely fluent enough to really live in places just yet as you can see from his struggles in even more common languages like French with the ambassadors.
Not trying to be a downer here, but most of the time when he learns a new language, he only learns a few stock phrases so that he can record a clickbait video. And then he probably forgets everything while preparing for his next video. Apart from English, the only language he seems to be able to truly speak is Mandarin.
It is ok I give him credit for trying. I know he does better than I can in my life time
no you're definitely trying to be a downer. he's doing more work than you ever will, but keep being jealous@@matteikamp7474
The way they took care of him like he was one of their own made me almost too happy
That was incredible. I was a marine and I visited many countries, the ability you have would have made my experiences so much better.
This needs to be a whole season. Ari learns to make a fire. Ari learns to throw a spear. Ari plays soccer with Maasai children. I’d binge watch!
I agree
It did go well until he goes through the Maasai test of manhood. The lion hunt. 🤣🦁
I would watch a show like that.
ari helps hunt down pirates and mounts their head on a spear pole
ari buys sun block lotion
As a kenyan this is really heart warming the maasai's are one of the most unique kenyan tribes that have managed to preserve their culture and are proud to show it.
So you’re a negro.
But have tiktok
@@Mightbeyourdad nothing can escape globalization /j
@@Mightbeyourdad phones are as common as shoes now sooo
@@Mightbeyourdadyou can retain a culture and still be technologically efficient
That was your best video yet. You use your ability not only to amaze people, but to show respect for culture. This warmed my heart today. Thank you. Being a positive ambassador for the USA is desperately needed these days. I hope you go back. To watch the amazing reception and respect you got was unmatched. Navy video was good too but that was just entertainment. This one was moving. Cheers, Ari. You did it well.
You got to be close to setting a record for speaking the most languages fluently
He isn't fluent in most of these languages. He just learns the basic words to make small conversations. It would take him years to be actually fluent.
@@coolbrotherf127 locals can understand him that’s fluent enough for me
@@coolbrotherf127 speaking maybe,but his listening gotta be at least medium,since he cant really predict i guess?
but yeah speaking wise/answering their alot of patern
The hospitality of these people was on a whole nother level. They accepted him as a friend and wanted him to stay. This makes me really happy to see. He should definitely go back and make a sequel.
it's not everyday that a random man from across the world can speak such a rare language
@@idontwannatypeaname
1.5 million speakers
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maasai_language?wprov=sfla1
Still pretty impressive though!
Am African from Uganda ......and it's so heart warming to hear a "foreigner" speak your language.....a connection is immediately made
The bro energy here is strong it’s like seeing your kid make friends in the playground just to see the pure joy of connection and communication and them wanting to welcome him into the village- so wholesome
yup I remember watching a video of a white guy in the US who had a friend from Africa come and stay over for a month and he experienced snow for the first time and he was acting so crazed and happy it was like he reverted back to a child.
@@kevinprzy4539what's the video called
Awww, the kids wanting to give him a puppy is both cute and a mature thing to do.
Years ago, when I saw the Massi in a National Geographic movie on my Television...they showed them jumping
so high...It was so wonderful to see...
I was so amazed....it was unbelievable to see the heights they could jump....I LOVED THIS so much....
Can we all appreciate how much Maasai language he learned and understood just after one month!
He must be super smart, learning all those languages.
A lot of languages are connected and he does know a lot so comes easier I believe
@@miguelmeza502 yes it gets more easy every time
I’m trying to learn my first second language I was no where close after a month, guess we are built different 😄
@@sealboy1211 well it cause its hard, this guy already knows multiple languages. Even he says it comes easier when you already know alot
I'm convinced at this point you had a wish to be granted any superpower you desired as a kid and you chose the ability to learn any language you want!
Smart choice
But I don't think he wasn't "granted" anything. He's got to work at each and every one of those languges I'm sure. But once you know a dozen like he did at one point, I think it becomes easier and easier to learn new ones. He is utterly amazing at it.
@@davidbinkowski4825 Seriously, the other aspect is one only needs a handful of words to engage in most conversations.
Once we all realize that the human did not chose the superpower, rather a human being in control of their facilities is a most super thing; we can all fix many of the problems we bring to the world by having a better connection internally to produce a better connection externally.
I would want the ability to learn every language known to man to be able to travel better and have better experiences
This video brought tears to my eyes. The warmth and generosity of the Masai people was awesome. Thanks!
They are so kind and accepting. A true lesson to us all! Many blessings! 🙏
Something I love about Xiaoma is the respect he always shows other cultures.
all big lovely smiles and happiness, so nice.
I feel like a million bucks watching him make these videos, I can't even imagine how good he must feel making them.
He shoes off only.
@Dr. Pyssinshytz Stereotypical ignorance.
No shit. It's making him a fortune
man these guys got it right. imagine literally just being friends with everyone in your village, whereas in so many countries its weird to smile at people, and its normal to not know your neighbours....
No electricity. How do they charge their phones
@@marshalllee7991 human connection is much more important than electriconics also they could have usb portale chargers
@@Morizzey yh well they probably couldn't live without phones now & they still need electric to charge them all
@@marshalllee7991 how would they die without phones?
@@marshalllee7991 Few potential ways, there are these little battery packs you can crank up to generate and recharge them...or more likely they walk over to a place which DOES have power to do so.
Love all the beautiful red those Masai warriors are wearing. Gorgeous.
Ironic that you're supporting the regional charity while getting sponsored by a company with "high risk" of forced labor. Cheers!
Yeah, that was a bitter irony for sure. He should rethink his sponsors.
@@Trund27that is just some US propaganda. Temu itself is just like middleman for Chinese manufacturers. They don't like them becuase they are foreign and have a big influence. And let's remember what Nestle, Nike and many big US brands did and still do in Africa and Taiwan, Asia etc.
"feel welcome here as if it was your home"... if only we could say that in the rest of the world. ♥
how shocked he looked when learning that people don't know their neighbors
Americans invade a land, kick the people out & when the descendants of the colonized try to come back they call them illegal & aliens to their own land.
Actually, a lot of the world is like that, im presuming you are american
you.. can
Rest of the world is almost always fine with a small number people visiting.
its much different when you talk about hundreds of thousands of people migrating into your place to live.
Among all the wars , earthquakes and floods around the world. This man never fails to give us wholesome content of making other people's day by speaking their language.
You know what would be more incredible though? Is if he went there without cameras and didn't use his experiences as a monetary gain.
@@puttfordoughdiscgolf9361 Even more incredible would be you understanding that his experiences are majority funded by ad revenue and sponsors and that not publishing his adventurers for "monetary gain" would be not having them at all. Cheers!
@@puttfordoughdiscgolf9361 He's making people all over world happy and exposing them to other cultures. Receiving money from this is besides the point entirely.
@@puttfordoughdiscgolf9361 how else tf would he make the cash and show all these wonderful experiences.. not all of it is just monetary gain lmao
@@puttfordoughdiscgolf9361 Just like others pointed out, I would like to add. How else the fuck he could go on to those places where he could provide contents of him spraken the same language? Travelling ain't cheap bud.
Bravo young man. Learning to communicate and respect a culture is absolutely admirable. So very interesting and beautiful to see your interactions.
I cannot fathom how wonderful they are!! Literally never seen warmer people. He's so lucky he got to meet them. And they have a lovely sense of humor.
The sheer joy they experience when hearing their language spoken is so beautiful
Yep
Think about all the people that have visited them from the US or UK and they usually ask cultural questions and talk to them for a while through a translator, but those people never do a full tour of their camp/village. They showed their houses (even gave him a place to sleep for the night) and their farm and how they prepare their food, they also sat down and ate dinner with them which is huge for bonding and showing respect for both parties involved, and most of all, finally, he spoke in their native language which shows that he has enough respect for them that he put forth the effort to learn the language. That's the difference I noticed between past visitors and Ari. There was a greater sense of respect altogether.
It brings a smile to my face
The fact that this guy can learn languages so fast is extraordinary.
It blows my mind!
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
@@MICKYMAVYT Yeah, I can't argue with that. My problem is having too many interests and not really getting the time to hone in on any of them specifically. Our passion towards something will definitely go a long way.

This is one of my favorite videos by you so far . Thank you for proving how cultural barriers can be broken down . That tribe was so happy 🤍🪶
Keep shining my friend.

What a beautiful people! So happy and welcoming! I love how sweet and excited the little children were...especially touching the one guy's beard and showing off their dogs/puppies... lol too cute! I love the blend of traditional simple living mixed with some modern touches like smart phones. The closeness of everyone and sense of community immersed in rich tradition is just beautiful... We've lost this sense of community in most of America, at least from my experiences. I love how they know their land and can literally live off it. He is blessed to have a knack for learning languages.
I just couldn’t help but smile through this whole video. The amount of good vibes from these guys was great.
You were given the utmost respect because you showed them the respect to learn their language. To allow you into their village and stay with them is the highest of honours indeed. Good job
First reply?
@@jamehroblox6333 lol. No
It's funny how they say they're private and don't let outsiders in but Ari became one of their own as soon as he spoke their language. Language breaks the toughest barriers!
White women go their often..and marry them...just watched it on another video..
I thought it was funnier how they have internet access but no electricity or running water. Makes about as much sense to me as building the roof of a house before you build the foundation. One would think having access to clean water for drinking, bathing and cooking would be prioritized, especially to avoid getting infected with dangerous bacteria. You hear about organizations like the Peace Corps drilling wells for clean water in African villages all the time, but I digress. How do they even charge their smartphones then? Is there a field of solar panels nearby that they plug into? And if drinking raw goat blood and eating raw goat kidneys wasn't an invitation to get sick with worms and parasites, I don't know what is! I'm all for embracing other cultures to a point, because there's some lines I just won't cross for the sake of my health. Even Ari drew a line in the sand over the blood and kidneys thing too, so I know I'm not alone in this.
IF they don't let outsiders in...how come they know english so well??? Just wondering.
I mean they defiantly aren’t that private, at least anymore
The man who drove him there said they dont let outsiders in before they did the welcome ceremony
This is so awesome. Thank you for putting this video. I learned so much about these people.
You are the hope...continue meeting your fellow humans wherever they live in the world, and spread love! Mother Africa is generous and hospitable! ❤
I’m so impressed… not by the language skills but how warm and embracing the tribe was. They are Great ambassadors of Kenya and Africa. God bless Kenya!
Don’t expect that for everyone that comes to their tribe to be treated the same way. I worked as a spiritual counselor in Republic of Congo… their native tribes were VERY hostile until I was able to meet their shaman.
Primary sources over secondary sources, often. Just be rational about it. Slander can ruin a friendly people's reputation
Yeah lets not have a genocidal sky toddler bless them. Lets instead bless them ourselves with our respect and admiration.
He’s going to teach them rudimentary basketball skills in the next video
@@eftheusempire Respect religions, its not hard.
I love a wise tradition. They dont let you in the village until they "greet" you. It's pretty hard to fake being nice and dancing around for long if you have ill intentions.
yes! that, and even if an individual came in with ill intentions, they might lose them in the process, as i would find it hard to even verbally insult someone who i just danced joyfully with!
Didnt think of it that way, hell yea
This is such a beautiful and heartwarming video. I love how you show respect and take us on your journey to places we'd never otherwise know. ❤
I LOVE this tribe!!!❤❤❤ They are so loving and welcoming!!! You are TRULY Maasi!!!! You heart is HUGE brother!!! Please, keep sharing!!!!
I love the warrior with the phone who’s like, “I have to post this on Instagram!”
It’s wonderful that they instantly accept him as one of them and tell him the village is now his home, too.
I’ve occasionally thought of going to Africa to visit, since my ancestors are from there. I’m not sure where in Africa we’re from, but it would be nice to just see some of it.
Imagine if Genghis Khan had TikTok and Instagram.
*"Preparing for war bros, in my language that means preparing to win. Will post the best kills and prank their leader by saying we want peace right after we won LMAO."*

@@sihlemashoba3629 Mfethu.😂
Im a Canadian born Kenyan. I've been to Kenya twice and have traveled to Maasai Mara once before when I was 16. I've stayed in the exact same village that you visited in this video. All I can say is wow. You've really broken some boundaries. You possess an ability that few have in this world. I'm quite embarrassed as I cannot speak my ethnic language at all, but you've been able to learn an abundant amount to the point where tribal locals can understand you and even consider you one of their own! I envy you.
Dont worry, our people where Im from lost our ethnic language a long time ago. I do know how you feel, but we are raised in different parts of the world nowadays. But yes, keep the culture alive whether you speak the language or not.
I can relate. I can’t speak my ethnic tongue either and it makes me sad
You shouldn't be embarrassed, you weren't raised around it so notmyout fault
It's never too late to start learning your parents' language.
It’s really incredible to see the cultural connection he makes when he speaks other languages.
They are so kind and friendly. What a lovely people.
i have no words for this tribe, their welcoming vibe their happiness their natural way of being their gratitude… it’s so so beautiful
That part about not knowing your neighbor seemed like it broke his heart. Imagine being somewhere so populated but so isolated at the same time
Thats the price for so called "modernism"
Truly separates what it means between a community and a living space.
Yeah, "imagine"…
As someone from a very community oriented society I've always wondered this. Westerners live in cities with millions of people yet those same cities are lonelier than the small town where everyone gets to know each other.
@@arminiusmaximus2793 I think it's a western thing. I live in Nigeria with a population of over 250 million people we all know our neighbors here. In fact one of the things an average neighbor would do is knock at your door or say a greeting to you letting you know they just moved in.
first of all, I want to thank you for representing americans in such a respectable way. secondly, even though I'm a fan of your channel and videos, this one stands apart! please make more content like this, and I know the algorithm doesn't reward it, but I would love a longer video on this. You can even make a second channel with extended versions! this insight is a gift and it makes me want to travel the world!
Agreed
This is his best video ever imo
This must’ve taken a fuckton of work I can’t even imagine
I agree best video ever. I’ve been following this channel for years and this one left an impression.
So…did you bring a dog home? 🙂
100% agree. This is anthropology, sociology, psychology, and linguistics in action, to epic proportions. It's one thing to speak to immigrants in their native tongue, and it's great content as well, but this is next level. As a US citizen, I also would like to thank you for the representation of Americans from the US to the people you met and the people watching you online, particularly those from the US--I hope some of them are taking notes. Fantastic content. Well done!🙌
What a beautiful tribe
Man I loved seeing this. I wish I had this guy's life and traveled the world, learning ppls cultures and speaking their language. This was very wholesome to watch. God bless him and his family.
He was very well received.
I think they really appreciated that he took the effort to learn their language.
The thought that he considered them to be important enough to learn their language carried a lot of weight with them.
Even if he didnt speak their language he would have been well received because they are kind like that
@@moniquemonique9467 I have seen other people visit the maasai and they are always so kind.
I don't think we can't even understand how much they appreciated that he was speaking their language, they really welcomed him after that, incredible!
They know He truly cares.
They truly would welcome him even if he couldn't. They are beautiful people.
To be invited into their village as a resident is incredible. What an amazing thing to accomplish and experience. The Maasai were incredibly wonderful and accepting of you. This shit blows my mind. I love it.
SO COOL. I love seeing and learning about other places, other cultures, this was seriously cool.
Hit me big when they think it’s strange how you don’t necessarily “know your neighbors” here around us. Yet their entire village knows of and collectively works together as one big family. ❤😭 this video was so very heartwarming I just could T stop smiling through the whole thing !
that's because they are all one big family. haha But ya, we could learn a lot from them.
If you are a fan of this type of videos, of travel I recommend watching Kurt Caz or Harald Baldr

I travelled through SA. Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana etc. We were lucky enough to go and spend time with a tribe and they were so welcoming and i was mostly amazed at how happy and joyful they were. If you get a chance go and visit Africa but go to the bush it is amazing.

應該不會吧，有可能是太累或是本身身體不太好😢
How does this guy learn so much in such a short amount of time?!? It’s really cool to see everyone interact with each other in such a kind way.
Just put in the time and effort. That’s all.
@@RicardoHernandez-zr1pw Not exactly, he's very good at remembering stuff. I've tried to learn English for 3 years now, and i keep forgetting a LOT of words
@@cheke184 the more languages you learn, the easier it becomes to learn new ones.
Also, you don't need to know and remember all the words to be able to communicate.
Ari actually learned the word for 'fire' in this video.
And don't get discouraged! We all have something we are good at.
Cause it's about DRIVE IT'S ABOUT POWER WE STAY HUNGRY WE DEVOUR
@@AndyIsLazy18 PUT IN THE WORK PUT IN THE HOURS AND TAKE WHAT'S OURS
That was an amazing video. What an incredible honor to be welcomed into their village as one of them.
What a fascinating and enjoyable look into their lives and culture. Thank you for this.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
"You are Maasai" made me tear up man...beautiful people
Best part for sure. So heartwarming ❤
So beautiful thank you. These people are so amazing!
That’s beautiful! Wish everyone could get along like this.
16:42 "Wow it's so... I can taste the sheep" had me laughing. Really amazing video - such a rare insight you're providing people with. Thanks for being a cool dude.
Never thought to see you here
😂😂- yeah, that was a good one 🍜
@@makarel I was going to put the same thing 😭😂
Yo what’s up bro?
ikr😭
The way the tribe sang for him as a welcome was so magical
Incredible! People are so kind once they see you as someone who cares about them and their culture.
Love that video, thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
So there is another guy on RUclips who visits and experiences other cultural groups, and I love his show, but to see you speak their language and be immersed in their culture, even when burning up like a lobster in their hot climate, was just awesome. I didn't see you complain or do one thing that anyone would think is distasteful. You were respectful and you honored their wishes to show their beautiful culture, and I hope you never change that. What a beautiful group of people. One of my favorite episodes so far. ❤
Yes mine also.
@@theofficialdiamondlou2418 i love you
This is why I love Xiaomanyc. He not only learns the languages, but partakes in the culture and gives exposure to small restaurants & businesses!
burning up like a lobster 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I mean to be fair he probably wouldn't put anytilike that in the video anyway, I'm sure he did have gripes with being in a different environment than he's used to, it's natural. But yea the self control and ability to accept whatever they throw at him is 👍. Props, good trip, good people and good episode. Wish we saw more of him chilling with those kids 😂 so funny.
These people have such a beautiful blend of modern technology and their old customs in their lives. Seeing them sitting around the fire singing tribal songs and recording on their phones is actually very touching. I hope they continue to hold onto their ancestral lands and customs.
Yeah... Really made me realize that were truly living in the future. 😳
Gives hope to see beautiful blends like this instead of people completely losing their values in the from meaningless emptiness of modernisering cities...
@@LalitaLunaYoginiSame, I love different cultures traditions across the world and progression should compromise them.
good that they can record and preserve it but I noticed they were about the clout pretty fast like something was off
That was wonderful! Thank you for taking me along on your journey! I feel like I have been given a precious gift... thank you!
Seeing people come together like this is so heartwarming. This is a reminder that despite our many differences, we are all human.
Your passion for linguistics has made you an ambassador for humanity. Continued health and happiness to you and your family.
Yes he’s good at learning languages but what impresses me the most is that he’s able to learn and adapt himself to body la gauge really quick. Different people means different body languages and he’s adapting so quick to make people feel confortable in his presence it’s impressive.
Lol the language learning is far more impressive
They told the English people the same thing 200 years ago but it was a total misunderstanding
@@bkc280 i semi-agree, but adapting to body language shows emotional intelligence even more so than spoken language can. you can get by learning a language with just books, but body language doesn’t have as concrete a method like that. imo the true impressiveness comes from his ability to utilize both as one fluid entity
ah yes, body la gauge, the most powerful of all languages💀
I think he didn't maintain eye contact enough. I saw how they were acting and its obvious eye contact is valued in their culture. Lemme ask that massai guy in the comments
4:24 that guy pulling out his phone was something I didn't expect
I love these videos! Thank you for making them
They were so pleased to hear Xiaomanyc speaking their language. They are such a handsome tribe of people... beautiful smiles and welcoming hearts. You will never be lonely because no matter where you go you can communicate. What an honor to be welcomed by the Maasai. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
every Kenyan I have met is so welcoming like this. But my Kenyan friends aren't Maasai, they're mainly Kalinjin
@@arogueburrito it should always be this way.
I have a feeling that Laoshu would be proud. Some of his African language videos are the absolute best exchange of emotion and genuineness that RUclips has to offer, and this video is certainly akin to that
RIP to a legend taken too soon
brought a smile to my face seeing his name referenced.
@@V0KAN I legit was just scrolling thru the comments and stopped cold when I saw his name 💔
With how hard Xiaoma took Laoshu's passing, it was obvious he really respected and looked up to Laoshu so I wouldn't be surprised if that played a role for Xiaoma doing this video. Man what I wouldn't give for him to still be around so him and Ari could collab, imagine that power.
They are all so kind wow, what an amazing Tribe of people
What lovely people, a kind and friendly tribe. So beautiful you can speak their language.
The way the Maasai guys just immediately warmed up to you and took you as one of their own was so heartwarming!
Can we just appreciate these people's hearts? That man, after meeting you one time, told you that his village was YOUR home🥺🥰
Just beautiful, I love them all so much.
Yeah being a guest was a holy thing back in the days
@@xbeast1ny0m4m4 ‘back in the days’ this is now. It’s just that first society is much less personal and connected
@@insertnamehere4775 he means that the maasai are like a time capsule and represent humanity many decades ago
They were so kind and hospitable. When they said that he was Maasai that was so touching. I wish Americans would treat each other like this. ❤
These people are so cool! Thank you for sharing!
