I threw away my kid after watching this
Lmfao 😂
Parenting Goals
I am sorry for laughing at your problem.
I am sure you are an Indian dad !!
I'll have him.
This kid is amazing. I've never heard a 6-year-old speak in such a clear manner before! I'm sure he'll be successful later on in life, good luck to him! (Making sure to spell every word correctly in this comment is something that was really hard to do, for some reason).
not trying to be negative but it's hard to say... people seem to have different times at which they shine the most... I used to be A+ student in primary and elementary schools, everyone thought I was a genius but it was just too natural to me but the people made me feel special because I was surprising them with my performance. Now, I'm just an average student in university... :/ sure lifestyle impacts a lot of such progress but ya he's off to a really great start.
He is too adorable. Success is not guaranteed but he has a great start.
Niker107 he is sure to call you from an IRS call centre trying to scam your life's savings
ALPHA says the bloke who has a English flag on his dp, you do know your country is literally owned by Indians. what are the kids that you know around you doing at his age ? let me guess, waiting to claim benefits while the Asian counterparts are busy educating and being successful.
AndyFreak123 Things Indians do to get famous? If u are from USA ,please hide somewhere as I will be listing a gazillion names who have no talent and can sell their mums for fame .
32 people are salty because a six-year-old can spell better than them lolololol
and now its 47
hahahahaha
exactly!!!!
152 now. Its because he is a son of migrants. That is all.
Because he's Indian lol
when a 2.5 year old is smarter than you'll ever be
ok
Ummm, kid because you have an IQ of

Y'all see skin color and race ... I see a culture of passion and great work ethic. Brains are brains
And scripts are scripts.
+Shotgungaming27 agreed XD
Shotgun27 what?
Shotgun27 well first, it's too obvious to disprove your example. Also, that proof is in the video.
He is Indian. (Asian)
He explains things so well. He should make an appearance on VSauce :D
He did.
+Gorgia Mallich Can you link me the video?
Farhan Tajwar Oh. I'm an idiot. I read "VSauce" as "Vox".
+Gorgia Mallich I guess I have a face stupid enough to make people believe I would recommend vox to feature Akash on their video in which they have featured him. xD
FarheenMeraj *>~> I said nothing of the sort.I don't really even pay attention to profile pictures.
Omg.... hes ADORABLE!!!! :D
so cute
So what, I can spill too.
+Jed F. Heinz You must be new to the internet
Your brains?
LOL
Underrated coiment.

A wild genius appears!
He uses spelling!
It's very effective!
ha ha
Oh no! My dumbass fainted! Time to use a revive
Pahahhaa

I bet this kid gets all the positive female attention, he doesn't even need the 64 box crayons with the sharpener in the back, because he got skills
😂
lol

Sooner Science Nerd yeah, duh
+Sai Suneesh No one cares

I believe making a nasally noise helps.
I am almost positive that 1 is no letter but i am not sure as i am also bed @ sp3lling

Not really, but spelling gigantic words like that is, can't even remember the world lol
Aside that - I'm kinda puzzled how people have trouble spelling things TBH, shouldn't be any hard to spell normal words though
This kid needs his own RUclips channel!
TanUv90 he has one
TanUv90 because he is simple guy not show off he don't need money from RUclips
His channel name is 'Akash Vukoti'
@@Roshan6879 his videos has millions of views on some videos
@@Anonymous-qg8nn correction: some. although they are good, you should watch them (shameless promotion)
When I was 6 years old I could count to 5.......
I could spell my name..... incorrectly
+Banana Party banana? don't even no how to spell it either
I could name every Chingy song by the age of six 😎
+Awesome zebra Chingy spelling right there at a slelling bee: Right thurr.
AGUILA6O2 I like the way you just did that right thur. Right thur.
Why are so many comments racist or about his ethnicity??? It's about a 6 year old spelling prodigy ???? ???? ? ?? ? ? ? He's cute af
I haven't seen one hate comment I don't know what you're talking about
Minh Vo I saw a significant amount.. they're not exclusively hateful. Just point out his ethnicity or say something like he's going to work for IT
Stop overreacting. Why don't you talk about the overwhelmingly positive comments? Focusing on only the bad comments will only aggravate the problem
Gonzesse You're mad because I'm talking about Point A, instead of point B??
Belen Swan What would you say if I only talked about the problems with Germany's football team, even after they have won the world cup?
There will *always* be bad comments on the internet. But I feel that we, as a western society, have moved past racism as an _institutional problem_
Wouldn't you agree?
I like how he isn't condescending and just sharing how he does it - which is rare with kids who smart like this.
I can't even spell dissapointed correctly, I am so disapointed to myself
at yourself...
Isn't Gotham in trouble? Why are you on RUclips right now??????
LynnisaMystery Can I not take the day off? Sheesh!
+Bruce Wayne in yourself...
*from hisself
I just use autocorrelation 😂
+Sup Dawg looool 😂😂
+Sup Dawg it actually makes me sad. idk why
+Sup Dawg He knows. There's a reason why quotes (") are used instead of an asterisk (*)
Well you seem to know time series.
Mine just gives up on certain words 😂
he's a genius and a really cute one!
haha, you should be proud of you that you didnt miss your childhood. this kid already missed his chaildhood, he started working since he is 2 years old. this is called child labor.
he is exactly how i expected him to look like.
yep!.....stereotyping
valid argument....but you have to admit he is the general depiction of a gifted little boy
Smh
not all indians are smart .. :X
i once knew a guy .. who knew a guy .. who heard from someone ..that he once saw a not smart indian .. ! i swear am not lying .. !:P
I am English student 26 years old. I am trying to improve my language spelling. and I learned a lot from this 6 years old. thank you, Akash
Yo people, he's an American. Stop calling him Indian cuz of his ethnicity.
Still Indian and always will be Indian
***** XD
Recently he came to India. And he also speaks his mother tongue.
Not really, he's my friend. (IRL)
@@ajoyhandique9872 Andhra Pradesh
Wow, as a french it must be the first time I hear an English-speaking person pronouncing "~on" correctly!
Fun fact he's Indian
@@ZainKhan-bi2ib He speaks English though
He has a bright future in the Grammar Police Force.
bruhhhhh I love you hahahhhahah
this year's spelling bee has more indians than the streets of new delhi
😂😂😂😂😂
Demoham Cristiano 😂 too bad Im not subscribed to them
Nice1
I went to the Bee in middle school as a matter of fact. It was back then, and according to others, it was before I went too. They showed us a documentary of some of the kids there and there was an Indian kid whos dad was so strict he made him do push ups WHILE practicing spelling.
LOL
You're amazing, Akash! Good luck at the spelling bee!!
10/10 the most indian thing i've ever seen
No it is an American Indian thing. The most Indian thing is probably India on a map.
@@billrex he is American only on paper.
@@sentinelisland3884 ?
@@billrex most important thing his parents are Indian.
If you have a Indian parents you can't be other nationality.
@@billrex I hardly know he do anything American except speaking English which is not his mother tounge.
Honestly, you can easily spell any long word by breaking it down. It's a great practice to multilingual speakers but for a kids his age is rather impressive. He has my respects.
Can they also give out awards for being adorable?
I hope he is learning more then one language because he would surely be be great at them
He already knows more than 3languages
He speaks like he owns a successful start up business
yoooooooo im fuxin crying! lololololol
For the first time I've managed to open Vox's video with only 100 views.
hello heisenberg. how's your blue crystal business?
Ur still alive??
n0b0dy_ep1c Yeah.
NGHHH.... He is so cute, I could eat him.

you guys missed a letter from his favourite word in the video description :/ pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon(i)osis sure hope it was deliberate :P
Wasn't this the kid who got in a good college?
+Alif Khan No that is Tanishq Abraham.
+HardBallin2 Both kids seem magnificent.
+FreakishlyTrue. You have a point they are both intelligent.
Omg he is so cute!! He made me laugh when he had to spell that enormous word! 😂😂😂
Why is this 6 year old smarter than me? ;~;
no idea, but i have the same feel
Because he works harder than you
Forced to work harder
Go Ku Not very, I speak from experience.
Charles Garcia jewish brain > indian brain > Caucasian brain
i have done my scientific research on the synapses of the different craniums
there u go, ur welcome
i knew somehow race would find its way in the comment section as soon as i saw the thumbnail
Yeah, if it were some white kid, people wouldn't say crap.
HE IS THE CUTEST LIL THING
I met him at the National Bee last year, he was really sweet!
another genius indian
can racists and idiots please evacuate the comment section so that we can give this amazing kid the praise and recognition he deserves, thanks
6 years old and 1000x more eloquent than a youtube comment section on any video that involves at least 1 muslim.
***** lol wut
allahu akbar!
Why do u think he is a Muslim?
+Mohammad Alghunaim he was triggered
D Max aloha snackbar ;)
He's so adorable!
He lost the preliminary today, but no doubt he'll be back when he's a bit older. What a cool kid.
RIP
I will never understand why words like these even exist.
***** You know what I meant, smartass.
And in case you want to continue being one here's the definition of smartass according to Oxford Dictionaries:
"smart-ass
Pronunciation: /ˈsmärdas/
NOUN
US informal
A person who is irritating because they behave as if they know everything."
***** Not the best joke in the world
cuber
MJCuber Same. I average 14 on 3x3. You?
around that but I kinda stopped doing it :(
Cute kid AND smarter than everybody who will comment on this video, excluding me of course :~)
not smarter den my kid doe
+NolA BigFan with that type of spelling idk what runs in the family
+NolA BigFan I doubt that 😂 with that spelling you have
just because he can spell words doesnt mean he is smart. They give you list and they just memorize it.
Uber/Tube, apparently you didn't listen to him speak. Clearly a smart kid.
He's not a kid, this is an animatronic that the government created to dominate the planet!
Hush.
Just the average Indian
And he can expel chem trails out of his nose.
haha, you should be proud of you that you didnt miss your childhood. this kid already missed his chaildhood, he started working since he is 2 years old. this is called child labor.
Illuminati
what an adorable, intelligent, charismatic young lad. you go kid!
WOW! Blown away by this kid, he's so bright! and has an even brighter future ahead of him.
I wish we Indians equally concentrated on athletics as we do on academics.
+Tosh ... Piece of garbage.
Tosh san WTF man
Manas Surya Maybe when you stop pooping on the streets it will help.
Tosh san african immigrants are the most educated americans actually. especially egyptians and nigerians
Manas Surya you can't have everything. God gives at least something to everyone. If you've got this, you can't get that!
amazing content :D
So adorable! This kid has personality and looks in addition to being scary smart.
this kid has a bright future ahead of him he's so smart
wow this kid teach better than my teacher.
''i say the word, spell the word, say the word and i'm done!'' i love this kid
the way he talks and the way he explains things is amazing.
how can a 6-year-old absorb so much knowledge in just a few years?
I saw this boy on Little Big Shots! He was amazing and funny too!
Akash for world president
The whole spelling bee competition concept seems kinda weird when you're used to speaking a language (Finnish in my case) that proounces every letter that's written and exaclty the same way every time.
welcome to hydralik press channel
Tänk juu! Velkam tu tö hydraulik pres tsänel to juu tuu!
+TeKaMOTO is that actually how you would spell\say it. that's so cool
Same with Spanish.
Jea! Tät's iksäktli hau! :D
Such a small boy and such a good speller. We all should be proud of him🏅🎉
Its funny that he sounds like a tiny adult when he talks.
Did he just put up the illuminati sign in the beginning?
I knew it, he sold his soul to illuminate so he could be smart #bushdid911
no
yes he did
no, he just likes logos a lot. some logos have triangles. i'm not kidding, he loves logopedia.
He's smarter than every Trump supporter!
that's not really an achievement
You're voting for Bernie sanders.... Like stfu
+Dillon Cochran Such an insult
Bernie*
Okay, but did we have to make this political?
This kid is actually really mature for his age
He is such a cute little boy. It's nice to see him enjoying this and having fun.
Me On The Spelling Bee:
Interpreter: Spell The Word Stupid!
Me: Y-O-U
Interpreter: GET OUT!
He explains everything so clearly..being only 6 years old!!! Wow... Amazing. He is. ❤👌
Amazing what you can do if you learn all the word roots and not just the letters.
he's gonna grow into aziz ansari
Either that or Osama Bin Laden
Seriously dude?
+Atlas wrong nationality and religion, I'm assuming.
+Anurag Kumar true. I only said it because he looks like aziz when he was a kid. kind of.
This kid is much better than Aziz. Both have different religions. Aziz iz a muslim.
That kid is awesome
he’s so confident...
How much cuter can this kid be.. Too adorable. Love him
i want him to be my little brother
we need more gifs of this kid
Awww 😍😭isn't he the cutest little thing ever!!
I tried to spell for the first time getting inspired by seeing you 🙏🏻 you are awesome Akash!!
Super cute, super smart
Just pair him up with Jason Bateman and we're up to something. Thumbs up if you get the reference.
+Jason Kim lol
'Bad Words (2013)'. At least I tried :(
this kid is amazing, I RECOMMEND THIS SET PERFECTLY
this made my day. thanks vox
I didn't know iridocyclitis had a brother!
yall ever see the movie bad words 😂
My instant thoughts, exactly.
2.07 was the stress buster😂
He is adorable and so smart!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
INDiANS dominate Spelling.
This is FACT; deal with it.
Doge Not all, I'm the exception
Obviously not grammar, it's Indians and spelling. Close, but better try next time.
maddog2622 Well, grammar and spelling are pretty much hand in hand... How can you understand how to spell every word in the English language without understanding the grammar of the language? As seen in this video, the boy explains how adjectives end in "ous" which is a grammar technique helping in spelling. So why don't you try to roast better next time?
Asians in general are amazing.
Melvin that has one of those footcast boot things. Opinion
My kids are 6 and barely spell their own name.
Return them now until there's some warranty left 😆
He's so articulate! Incredible!
I know Akash Vukoti well, he is an Indian-American well-known National spell bee winner. He is really a great-fast learner. I am a 14year old Spell-Bee competitor from India, I too have took part in many local competitions, & I had reached upto the State level competition but then after that unfortunately I couldn't continue it further due to my health problems, else I probably would have reached upto the National level. I know all the rules which he mentioned. Reaching, upto that level is not any joke.
I really appreciate his hard work & overall CONSISTENCY & Parental support.
At my university there's loads of Indian students. :D
That just means your university is cheap.
nothing wrong with being cheap.... i see expensive products like apple being made cheap in china an sold to dumb people for 8 times the manufacturing price...... cheap doesn't mean non functional
Then it's a good university :)
You're completely clueless and your comment is so inaccurate I won't even bother continuing any conversation with you.
It is. Thank you.
this kid has a bright future ahead of him...
He's frickin' adorable
I knever understood why I didn't win when I participated...
People always say that I make mistaeks... I don'ut ever make mistaeks.
Yonatan24 lord
congratulations on starting your journey of over achievement while never feeling like you're good enough and working hard for validation of your teachers and peers
Preach.
what's wrong with that? pretty sure that path will lead him to a successful life.
depending on your definition of success
low IQ individual detected
:(
Very smart young man. I am 1/4 on my way to Scripps. (I won my class. Next is school, then regionals, and finally Scripps!)
the only kid in the spelling B with CHARISMA
damn this is a shame this kid can spell better than me
Can Indian kids stop winning spell bee,my parents are already pretty disappointed with me.
lol only if you stop being so salty
Oh my goodness, what a sweetheart
He would be a great teacher. I actually learned here more than in college.
spell icup
language of origin: the streets
Back when everybody would make that joke
Welp, I am clearly no use to human kind after watching this. They might as well lock me in a cage.
