    The other day I went into a bunch of Chinese restaurants as an ordinary but kinda clueless white guy and ordered food in fluent Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese). It was a really fun prank and social experiment to see Chinese people’s reactions - both the waiters and the other patrons in these NYC Chinatown restaurants were totally shocked! Thanks everyone for supporting me on my language learning journey - Fuzhounese videos coming up very soon!

      So true, but what's funny is that I only had one semester of French in high school 30 years ago and I have retained almost all of what I learned and rarely practice it. A few years back I just happened to run into a French Canadian woman working in northern Minnesota restaurant. I used what little French I know to order my food and she was very impressed. It's fun to see expressions like hers. That what makes these videos that Ari produces so fun!

The fact that you decided to spend some minutes of your time to write up a reply and stating how "truth hurts" which is you wanting people to know a view that you have, strongly indicates that you do actually care. You hope that making a statement of "truth hurts" which implies that the guy is lesser than you because he "avoids the truth" would provoke him further because you want to sound smart and draw attention to that smartness. You're basically a little bitch of an attention whore who claims not to be one just to sound cool. You probably love reading your own comments and marvel at how enlightened they look to you.

    Dude, you are a genius. At revenue generation. You decided to expand your viewer and subscription base beyond America to general international markets and of course China and countries with large Chinese ancestry. Tens of millions of views while enjoying good Chinese food, speaking a language you love and bringing a smile to people. 👍👏👏👏

    How cool to be able to speak Cantonese and Mandarin and shock the Chinese staff who can't imagine a Westerner ever learning their native language! I speak some German and when I've Travel in Germany it makes a big difference to speak their language as a visitor. It is highly appreciated.
