He's ignorant that's what egos do to you it's going over his head he doesn't want Americans thinking that they can pick up their language by learning where he feels like he's saying your language is easy while he still can't speak English very well.
its not even jealousy in terms of the Cantonese, it's just ignorant. if he really has been speaking it for 60 years since birth than without any doubt he's better than Moses. But that isn't to say that Mosses' Cantonese isn't already damn near perfect. Its ignorant to tell someone who's trying that they ain't perfect.
He’s just not giving general credit where it’s due. Because he was put on the spot and being exposed for bein a liar. Laoshu way smarter than his old geyser ass.smack his old asss

Anyway no big deal 🤭😆
He's so critical about pronunciation. If I were to judge his English, he pronounced 90% of the words "wrong" because of his accent. So, by his logic, I guess he doesn't know English.
RIP Moses. You’ve inspired millions to learn other languages, leaning new cultures. A rare gem of a person that respects humanity without judgement or criticism.
Actually I only discovered Moses a few days ago and I can tell you that he continues to inspire people. Yep I just downloaded my first Mandarin lesson on his website :)
Brian lol what?? He is a hater 100% you can tell. He said youre not perfect like ooh ok fuck you lol. You agree with him fuck you too. It should be like wow youre really good for being self taught but keep in mind youre not all the way there yet. Something along the lines. Basically constructive criticism not just criticism. Simple as that.

@oneviwatara show a black person some good music skills and good food and they will LOVE you. There are a staggering amount of non-black restaurants and businesses in black neighborhoods.
I feel for his wife and kids, if he has. This the type of parent that kids get happy when he leaves, and become sad when he returns. I bet he always has something to complain about in the house.
Languages are made simply to communicate for mutual understanding. You are good at it im a native Chinese speaker, I understand u perfectly. This old man's ego is through the roof. I once had a friend who couldn't speak English, he saw an accident on the road to explain he was late, he tried so hard and this is what he came up with. "2 car kiss, bing bang!!" Not perfect at all, but I understood it perfectly! Language can be creative too! Haha 😄
This is the kind of comments I'm looking for, if u bragging ur native language skill because someone trying to make a conversation with ur native language then u got an ego problem.
I think the restaurant owner outplayed Laoshu in every language they tried. I don't speak all of them, but Laoshu struggled more than the old guy for the ones I did understand.
Are you serious dude? This old Chinese guycan speak natively he can imitate regional accents he can recognize if someone's from a certain city or not His mastery over languages is true mastery the dude who owns this channel knows a lot of languages but his accent is bad in almost every single one. basically this guy tried to impress the Chinese dude who knows so much more than him that he became his teacher.
@@thevantran148 that's a fucking lie because when you hear someone talk English with a thick fucking accent you can't even understand them Same thing when you talk another language with a shity accent they will not be able to understand you You say accent is part of it but if you don't have the right accent in a tonal language, you're not saying the right words. And that's not even including how he sounds like he's self-taught.
He had to end it with some derogatory Yiddish and try to end it on a high note. I'm guessing if Moses called him out on his Yiddish the guy would have just made up a few words and pretended like it made him king of linguistics
No wonder his restaurant is empty. He is quite rude. Who in their right mind criticizes someone who has spent their time and effort to learn their language?
i mean.. ur tryna learn and pull up on someone.. u should also be open to criticism.. though he had "hater" vibes... this old guy.. like when in the other vids... when laoshu talks.. people help correct him and such.. without putting him down or even making it known "u dont know how to say it flawlessly" lmao so i agree with the rude part.. i disagree with the criticism part.. that should always be a part of EVERYTHING.. just not in a rude fashion..
Its funny how Moses could’ve spoken 20 other languages that the guy didnt know but chose to speak only a couple with him even when being criticized... humble!

I laughed so hard when Moses tried to impress him saying he's been learning Mandarin for 2 years because he didn't want to say he's been learning it for over 10 years and be told he's far from perfect lol
@@chicoti3 I just watched another video and I figured it out he said he has only studied the language for two years but he has 10 years of experience speaking the language
Your Russian was good enough for anyone who speaks it to understand, which obvioucly means this old man doesn't know no Russian at all Feels like he wasn't also any good at French.
Александр Вишневецкий Dude I’m not fluent in Russian by any means and could easily discern what he was saying. If someone doesn’t know basic terms like that, there is no way they ever even tried to learn Russian.
@@darko6899 my girlfriend is Russian, she doesn't hesitate to say when something isn't correct. You can bumble through 2 dozen languages but it doesn't mean you can "speak it." His Russian is the same. He has some vocabulary and his grammar is OK (the most important part) but pronunciation can affect how intelligible you are.
@@vivekyadav1 some people only ever bother learning a little of the language thats spoken where they live with his attitude I bet hes one of those guys
This old dude is ignorant as they come. He can't respect that there are people of all different shapes and colors are willing to learn and educated themselves. We don't need people to bring someone down just because he didn't "pronounce" it correctly. I'm Chinese American, and my Cantonese is literately shit, but yet, when I speak, people understands me. As long as the message gets across, that is what matters to me. You keep learning and educating yourself! You have my respect brother!
@@ГригорийХовер You're right. The old man is "faux rude", it's part of his personality. This old man is not accustomed to meeting another person who's a polyglot and/or has been to multiple nations. If the old man were "truly" rude, he wouldn't have given Moses compliments.
I would say he is rude, it's just after a moment he realises all his dis is just lies so he tries to recover face :d (or comes to actually appreciate it)
@@bradhansen8506 that’s the difference between most of us and Moses, he was a humble and nice person, I understand your way of thinking because I would do the same if I was in that situation tough.
He said 私はねちょっと東京20年泊まるでしょ。or "For me, a little bit Tokyo I will stay 20 years right?". So much is wrong with this. 泊まる is used to mean stay at a hotel or when visiting a place. でしょ is used to seek agreement or when something is mutually understood but how would a stranger know your past living experience in Japan? Then he randomly said 姉ちゃんはね神戸に... or "my older sister in Kobe...". Not sure why he didn't finish the sentence or what was relevant about his sister in Kobe. If he lived in Tokyo for 20 years there's no way he would suck this bad at Japanese. He should have said 私は20年間東京に住みました。But his Japanese is not perfect. In fact it sounds like he only knows a few sentences. Even though the guy making the video is very beginner level I would say he was making more complete sentences than the "20 year" veteran speaker.
@@Daniel.Emmanuel10 The old dude. Laoshu made a lot of errors too but he is not the one acting like his Japanese is perfect. He is just communicating the best he can in a foreign language. That is why I am not criticizing his mistakes. To be fair if the old guy had not come across like an asshole I probably would not have said anything about his mistakes either. :)
How could he possibly know a word he’s never used 🤣 Dudes arrogant to the max. Hopefully an elderly trait and nothing to do with his cultural upbringing.
come on they set him up with a one two punch to be fair, plus he looks busy probably aint got time for this crap but he did acknowledges lashous skills, plus he might have a point lashou before the convo gets too deep kept switching languages, I feel he kept doing it cause the old man could match him but same time he won't do that to others he really wanted to test and best him,
People like this old man are why I can't speak my native language. I'm shy so it's discouraging and embarrassing when elders criticize you for not being able to speak the language correctly 🥴. Love that Laoshu and his student stayed humble and respectful. This old man has issues. I'm so motivated and inspired to get back into learning my mother tongue. Thanks Laoshu, you still inspire even when you're gone, RIP.
This video was hurtful to watch. He just could not give you credit, but you guys were STILL so respectful. They know we master everything, so you even knowing 1 other language is a win. I'm learning Portuguese so I can better communicate with my stepmom. Obrigado pela inspiração.
Boa sorte! espero que você ainda esteja estudando. Portugues é uma lingua linda de se aprender porque quando vc pega as nuances e as metaforas que o portugues de proporciona é maravilhoso!
... if you watch the video he told him he was interested in learning chinese then he began to speak to the shop owner in chinese so he want completly respectfully either
The other 4 language that he “speaks” really are just him recognising where it’s from by listening to it. Anyone can do that, nothing special at all haha
@@Daquelesflag Yea mate, stereotype or not, it's extremely common do to cultural traditions being very conservative as that dude said ^. Very rarely did many peoples meet other peoples that were different, so a lot of the time, societally there was a rejection of that which was different from them. I mean hell, the racism amongst, and between purely the Asian races alone is intense to this day, it's ridiculous, but slowly starting to develope past that. Mainly the older generations are the ones, as with all cultures, that hold onto those ideas as that is all they've known. Going by the display name, I would assume you're Asian as well, and not just a random name generated. It's not going do be everyone's in the entire world's experience obviously, however it's still a thing that's common. Atleast things are progressing past that sort of thing everywhere somewhat, so that's always good.
@@groupraitodigital9784 Taiwanes style hokkien and Chinese fujian hokkien or Singaporean Hokkien are slightly different. I think he understood moses a little bit but didn't want to answer.
@@iamnani_9111 Negative. It's not just his accent. He speaks English as if he never ever had formal training and only learned it by living in the US for a long time, thus showing grammatical errors and awkward shortcuts. Unfortunately, as someone of Asian descent, I'm sure that this man in his old age rarely (if ever) gets corrected by anyone. And if he does get corrected, he probably gets offended and says ignorant things like "I know more than you". And when it comes to languages in general, anybody who watches this channel knows that the old man clearly doesn't.
@@iamnani_9111 You can not hear the difference from a black and a white person thats been raised in the same culture or enviroment. Western minds sigh. Same as people shouldnt be so fast to judge other humans. If you are bornm in the middle east you would probably be a muslim, if you were born in Israel you would probably be a jew. If you were born and raised in a nazi family, the chance is huge that you would become one yourself. As long as people dont hurt others, just leave them to their beliefs, and use your brains before you judge others. Whatever their truth might be. I dont defend nazis, but most people dont understand that so many around the globe are being brainwashed by their enviroments they have been raised into. Like most christians that belive everyone that dont accept Jesus will go to a place called hell, what kind of a cruel demon god are you all worshipping? So 2/3 of the population will burn in eternity for not beliving? Poor tribe people in the jungle thats never have been introduced to our religions. Poor people thats shown love and helped people their entire life, but well they did not belive in isla, christianity or whatever so they will burn. The worlds religions are just a bunch or cruelity.
@hd31 What does any of this have to do with what he said? English being the most difficult language to learn is debatable. Adding to that if you can understand me then we both know English. Just because mine is a different dialect and I have a different accent doesn't mean I speak "broken English," I speak American English. Even if we were to say British English is real English and all other dialects are distortions of it, which dialect of British English, since there are so many? Even if we could peg down a particular dialect of British English the idea that any dialect could be the correct form is debatable.
hd31 How many languages do you know ? You can’t state that English is the hardest language in the world if you don’t know every languages, which I doubt you do. So your point is totally stupid and a proof that you are ignorant. Moreover, what are your criterias to define what is proper English language ? Language is a thing that doesn’t stop to evolve, it’s part of the beauty of it, you can’t rationalize it like it’s a defined science, it’s ridiculous. N.B: English grammar is a piece of cake compared to French grammar or German grammar :))
what is wrong with this guy..? it doesn't always matter if you pronounce it wrong.. as long as people understand you.. that's fine.. learning language is not about perfection.. it's about communicating, appreciating differences, and understand others' culture..
That guy was hilarious. It was like a local champion meeting a national champion. At first he wanted to slap you around and show off but after a while... he knew he was beaten and that you were only playing with him. From then on it was save face and quick exit lol I like the guy though, pure comedy!
Yeah I didn't get anything aggressive from his tone. He was just being honest. Like another thing in China calling someone fat isn't an insult, it's just stating a fact. Some people are fat.
I'm working on several languages at once as well and all I can say is... Man, you are a good inspiration. Not only for the black community but for every community out there. I hope someone sees your videos and feels driven to learn more about other people. Learning cultures and languages of other people shows that - sure we have our differences, but they are minuscule in comparison to the common traits we all share. Life would be boring if we were all the same. ... I may have got a little philosophical there. ごめんね
Coming here to my favorite laoshu video to pay tribute. RIP to the goat of languages. So brilliant, kind, and talented. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world and inspiring us all.
Usually people are flattered that a Westerner would put so much work into learning their language and are delighted to converse with them. This guy.. not so much.
Him going back to english to critique him is clear proof of that. Like if you know so much more about these languages he is trying to speak showing him up then!
This is the epitome of an old man who likes to brag about his own self worth, while putting others down to make it seem that he is always above everyone else. I did not even hear a single russian/ french word spoken from him
@@seanchou9049 the only language he gave him credit for I think was Mandarin. But as soon as he said three words in a different language you could hear his brain going like “Wait.. this black guy isn’t supposed to be doing that. Just say he doesn’t pronounce things right quick!”
Uso bakari means many lies or you tell a lie often, it’s not Baka and this man doesn’t speak Japanese it’s only for treating tourists, a few words is enough to enjoy those who try to make a conversation.
I like how the guy clearly has a big ego and hates giving praise but even he eventually shows he is impressed with his Japanese and calls him a smart man. You know that's twice the amount of compliments he gives out in any given year.
your mandarin is better than ever in this vid! you destroyed this arrogant old man who is too proud of his own language, I'm a native mandarin speaker and speaks cantonese as well and all i can say is his mandarin isn't that perfectly spoke lol. shame on this old man.
hes the same old fart that complains about how people dont appreciate chinese culture but does everything to belittle those who show any interest in it. He make us all look bad smh
It took old dude years to become a polyglot, traveled around the world 50 times, lived in Tokyo for 20 years. You speak just as well as he does in all of these languages and your self taught from the internet ...his mind can’t accept it. It’s his life’s pride and joy, his uniqueness and here you come. Dude can’t handle it 😂😂
Lul what do you mean by polygot, he only know words in other languages, he cant actually converse with them, just an arrogant old man thinks he knows all
ya... but he made up new time frames for how long he'd been learning the languages... 2 years for mandarin? in earlier vids he's said that he's been learning it for 10 years... french for 6 months? there are older videos than six months of him speaking french... i like his vids because he connects with ppl but he has an ego for sure. he also needs to learn more material other than the same damn lines he always says. another thing i've noticed is that he mumbles/speaks softly so that the native speaker can't quite hear his pronunciation, deeming it good when really, and in the case of this vid where the speaker actually critiques his accent, it's not as good as it should be for learning it for over a decade. that was the old chinese guy's point. especially when he said that lao probably couldn't go any "further" with it, meaning he probably couldn't have an very in depth conversation with someone in most of his languages. he should really focus on a few languages and get them into the conversational level where he can freely express himself. also, why the fuck hasn't he ever been to china?!?!
@@quickstep2408 These ((in retrospect)) videos are old videos that have been cut down into separate videos, they aren't in order. Moses is living in Arizona now and Marcel lives in Ohio where this video was made.
I'm guessing this is the first time the manager didnt get to impress someone by saying he speaks 7 languages because he actually found someone that actually speaks more languages than that. The man clearly didn't understand any of the languages presented to him.
They are 7 distinct languages, someone who speaks mandarin can't understand shanghainese or fujian or cantonese and vice versa. it might be a little different if he listed different varieties of hokkien
He is not Chinese, he is a “Hong Kong nese”， that's what he said, everytime Moses said he's from China you can see the attitude, that's the level of HK separist right there.
He’s a hater how can he clearly be replying to you but saying you ain’t perfect he clearly understood you! And he didn’t even reply in Russian what he also said he knew he a hater! You turned him around he knew you hit him hard!
@mikeyb636 you don't have to speak perfectly a language to communicate.. when a guy speak a bad english you can't still reply to him.. same thing happen here, for example when the guys was speaking french his accent was bad, but being from france i could still get what he was saying but i could tell that his french wasn't perfect.
Old man was butthurt when he met the legend laoshu speaking more languages than himself 😂 I love how confident Moses was in his capabilities and doesn’t allow him to get discouraged.
I got super excited when the old man said he spoke 7 languages...I thought GAME ON! Sad that he turned out to be such a condescending hater. Moses handled it with humility and class, as usual.
he lied, i think the only languages he can speak are like english, canto, mandarin and maybe abit of japanese..in fact canto is more of a dialect than a language.
This guy has built a persona around being well travelled and well-spoken, that is why he is lying (imo) about how many languages he speaks and his travelling experience. Laoshu challenges that persona so that is why he is so defensive.
This guy is actually irritating, it’s fine he’s correcting you but be polite about it, he’s just degrading about everything from the start instead of trying to mentor you if he’s so good. You’re amazing dude, keep up the good work, and proven the haters wrong like this. You won him over in the end
@@ocerco93 The Chinese dude realized this guy called out his bluff by speaking French and Russian and was complimenting to save ass but it was not humour. Guy was clearly mad butthurt

He's so critical about pronunciation. If I were to judge his English, he pronounced 90% of the words "wrong" because of his accent. So, by his logic, I guess he doesn't know English.
Yeah I guess old people
BS
The thing about English is that there’s not technically a correct way to speak just some principles
I mean there’s not really a correct way to speak it because people from all around the world are taught to speak it in schools.
But he's right. He's aggressive but his cantonese isn't perfect and he needs to work HARD on his french pronunciation.
He doesn't know French that's why he started to get rude again.

Chinese restaurant owner: “I speak 7 different languages. Try me”
Laoshu or Moses: “I’ma end this man’s whole career”
I think the restaurant owner outplayed Laoshu in every language they tried.
I don't speak all of them, but Laoshu struggled more than the old guy for the ones I did understand.
Laoshu seems to know more languages than the old man but the old man has better pronounciation and speaks more fluently in the languages he knows

And that's not even including how he sounds like he's self-taught.
First it was you can’t speak the language.
Then it was you only know a few sentences.
Finally it was the way you speak the language isn’t perfect.
He had to end it with some derogatory Yiddish and try to end it on a high note. I'm guessing if Moses called him out on his Yiddish the guy would have just made up a few words and pretended like it made him king of linguistics

I mean hell, the racism amongst, and between purely the Asian races alone is intense to this day, it's ridiculous, but slowly starting to develope past that. Mainly the older generations are the ones, as with all cultures, that hold onto those ideas as that is all they've known. Going by the display name, I would assume you're Asian as well, and not just a random name generated.

If you were born and raised in a nazi family, the chance is huge that you would become one yourself. As long as people dont hurt others, just leave them to their beliefs, and use your brains before you judge others. Whatever their truth might be. I dont defend nazis, but most people dont understand that so many around the globe are being brainwashed by their enviroments they have been raised into.

@hd31 😂😂 English? The hardest language in the world?? I wanna know what you on bro
@hd31 What does any of this have to do with what he said? English being the most difficult language to learn is debatable. Adding to that if you can understand me then we both know English. Just because mine is a different dialect and I have a different accent doesn't mean I speak "broken English," I speak American English. Even if we were to say British English is real English and all other dialects are distortions of it, which dialect of British English, since there are so many? Even if we could peg down a particular dialect of British English the idea that any dialect could be the correct form is debatable.
hd31 How many languages do you know ? You can’t state that English is the hardest language in the world if you don’t know every languages, which I doubt you do. So your point is totally stupid and a proof that you are ignorant.
Moreover, what are your criterias to define what is proper English language ? Language is a thing that doesn’t stop to evolve, it’s part of the beauty of it, you can’t rationalize it like it’s a defined science, it’s ridiculous.
N.B: English grammar is a piece of cake compared to French grammar or German grammar :))

From then on it was save face and quick exit lol I like the guy though, pure comedy!
Moses: 99.9%
Owner: You’re not 100%
EXACTLY❗❗
Rip laoshu, been watching for a couple years on and off. Rest easy legend😔💔
@@zainbakeer970 yeah
What happened to him?
In retrospect, you should have called him out on his english-- literally riddled with mistakes
He's just an old man, give him a break😅
@@ThatKidinAfrica lol He wasn't so mean. This is how some old people are.
@@BabblingMee being old isnt an excuse for being rude. Standards apply across all ages.
I think just with Hokkein is enough. No need for English.
@@ThatKidinAfrica *Gotta hold him to his own standards
Old Chinese man can’t stand to see such an intelligent black man
No that's just how asians are they are very hard on you especially when growing up they are just blunt people
Yeah I didn't get anything aggressive from his tone. He was just being honest. Like another thing in China calling someone fat isn't an insult, it's just stating a fact. Some people are fat.
you guys put race into everything there was no race issue here
anoop prashar exactly. Dude had an ego and probably would’ve done the same if he was any other race doing the same thing lol
NO ONE LIKES INTELLIGENT BLACK MEN...
I'm working on several languages at once as well and all I can say is... Man, you are a good inspiration. Not only for the black community but for every community out there. I hope someone sees your videos and feels driven to learn more about other people. Learning cultures and languages of other people shows that - sure we have our differences, but they are minuscule in comparison to the common traits we all share. Life would be boring if we were all the same.
... I may have got a little philosophical there. ごめんね
What are you learning through?
@@jobeydley973 he ended in Japanese
Immortal why ごめんね、isn’t it just ごめ for sorry if you wanted to say that
Right on fam
@Jasmine Evans "gomenne" (sorry)
Coming here to my favorite laoshu video to pay tribute. RIP to the goat of languages. So brilliant, kind, and talented. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world and inspiring us all.
This old dude was a hater
For sure.
he is ashoe
You mean the guy being filmed without his consent?
Usually people are flattered that a Westerner would put so much work into learning their language and are delighted to converse with them. This guy.. not so much.
I think the Ok boomer would apply to him yeah???
The old man just makes himself look like an idiot. Only criticizing but not showing any actual skills himself
Him going back to english to critique him is clear proof of that. Like if you know so much more about these languages he is trying to speak showing him up then!
@@create_smarter yes i do speak those languages myself. Not all, but i do. I can tell from the tone he is using because its my native language
This is the epitome of an old man who likes to brag about his own self worth, while putting others down to make it seem that he is always above everyone else. I did not even hear a single russian/ french word spoken from him
@@seanchou9049 the only language he gave him credit for I think was Mandarin. But as soon as he said three words in a different language you could hear his brain going like “Wait.. this black guy isn’t supposed to be doing that. Just say he doesn’t pronounce things right quick!”
characteristics of a manager
Uso bakari means many lies or you tell a lie often, it’s not Baka and this man doesn’t speak Japanese it’s only for treating tourists, a few words is enough to enjoy those who try to make a conversation.
飛鳥aska and yet he claimed he lived in japan for 20 years
Koroz It’s actually wrong translation, he said he used to live in Tokyo for 12 years, not 20 years
@@aska1849 so laoshu can't tell the difference between 12 and 20 or the chinese man pronunced "12" in a weird/bad way?
@@revenantghost6160 Nope just laoshu misunderstood. Juu ni=12 / Ni juu=20 so it's easy to mixed up.
Koroz and traveled more than 50 countries 🤣
I like how the guy clearly has a big ego and hates giving praise but even he eventually shows he is impressed with his Japanese and calls him a smart man. You know that's twice the amount of compliments he gives out in any given year.
your mandarin is better than ever in this vid! you destroyed this arrogant old man who is too proud of his own language, I'm a native mandarin speaker and speaks cantonese as well and all i can say is his mandarin isn't that perfectly spoke lol. shame on this old man.
hes the same old fart that complains about how people dont appreciate chinese culture but does everything to belittle those who show any interest in it. He make us all look bad smh
Oh hell yes! i love u
这样强调香港不是中国的香港老头我还是第一次见 😂一般都是年轻一代才这么说，之前遇到的所有的老一代香港人都还是认同自己的中国人身份的……难道就只是为了呛老鼠才这样故意找茬吗😂
Your comment is so nice and so true! You rock ^_^
Love this comment.
It took old dude years to become a polyglot, traveled around the world 50 times, lived in Tokyo for 20 years. You speak just as well as he does in all of these languages and your self taught from the internet ...his mind can’t accept it. It’s his life’s pride and joy, his uniqueness and here you come. Dude can’t handle it 😂😂
Lul what do you mean by polygot, he only know words in other languages, he cant actually converse with them, just an arrogant old man thinks he knows all
ya... but he made up new time frames for how long he'd been learning the languages... 2 years for mandarin? in earlier vids he's said that he's been learning it for 10 years... french for 6 months? there are older videos than six months of him speaking french... i like his vids because he connects with ppl but he has an ego for sure. he also needs to learn more material other than the same damn lines he always says. another thing i've noticed is that he mumbles/speaks softly so that the native speaker can't quite hear his pronunciation, deeming it good when really, and in the case of this vid where the speaker actually critiques his accent, it's not as good as it should be for learning it for over a decade. that was the old chinese guy's point. especially when he said that lao probably couldn't go any "further" with it, meaning he probably couldn't have an very in depth conversation with someone in most of his languages. he should really focus on a few languages and get them into the conversational level where he can freely express himself. also, why the fuck hasn't he ever been to china?!?!
@@quickstep2408 These ((in retrospect)) videos are old videos that have been cut down into separate videos, they aren't in order. Moses is living in Arizona now and Marcel lives in Ohio where this video was made.
@@1MarkKeller so this video is 8 years old? I do not believe so
@@revenantghost6160 Could it be tho? There isn't a date on it, so my point stands, you must be new here.
I'm guessing this is the first time the manager didnt get to impress someone by saying he speaks 7 languages because he actually found someone that actually speaks more languages than that. The man clearly didn't understand any of the languages presented to him.
Or he is pissed off that someone half his age can speak all 'his' languages better than him.
@@vivekyadav1 Right!
Exactly😂
I don’t know how someone can be so proud of a language to the point of turning it into an insult. This guy really annoyed me
Nothing worse than a language shamer.
“You don’t speak it perfect”
Yep. There is no such person as a perfect speaker of a language even if he was a native.
Dude says he can speak 7 languages but starts listing Chinese dialects. Bruh
LOL!!
They kind of are. Similar to how Japanese dialects are super different to eachother.
Lmfao exactly
most Chinese “dialects” (really more like sublanguages) are NOT mutually intelligible
They are 7 distinct languages, someone who speaks mandarin can't understand shanghainese or fujian or cantonese and vice versa. it might be a little different if he listed different varieties of hokkien
Moses: *blinks*
Chinese Restaurant Owner: "that was not perfect!"
He is not Chinese, he is a “Hong Kong nese”， that's what he said, everytime Moses said he's from China you can see the attitude, that's the level of HK separist right there.
He’s a hater how can he clearly be replying to you but saying you ain’t perfect he clearly understood you! And he didn’t even reply in Russian what he also said he knew he a hater! You turned him around he knew you hit him hard!
He lied he didn't know Russian.
@mikeyb636 you don't have to speak perfectly a language to communicate.. when a guy speak a bad english you can't still reply to him.. same thing happen here, for example when the guys was speaking french his accent was bad, but being from france i could still get what he was saying but i could tell that his french wasn't perfect.
He said he was able to understand, just that his pronunciation wasnt perfect
Old man was butthurt when he met the legend laoshu speaking more languages than himself 😂 I love how confident Moses was in his capabilities and doesn’t allow him to get discouraged.
I got super excited when the old man said he spoke 7 languages...I thought GAME ON! Sad that he turned out to be such a condescending hater. Moses handled it with humility and class, as usual.
he lied, i think the only languages he can speak are like english, canto, mandarin and maybe abit of japanese..in fact canto is more of a dialect than a language.
This guy has built a persona around being well travelled and well-spoken, that is why he is lying (imo) about how many languages he speaks and his travelling experience. Laoshu challenges that persona so that is why he is so defensive.
Daryl Wathen great explanation
I think people are being hard on the old man. He's just joking around IMO. He's having fun
@@christianx32 his face & attitude don't know he's having fun
This guy is actually irritating, it’s fine he’s correcting you but be polite about it, he’s just degrading about everything from the start instead of trying to mentor you if he’s so good. You’re amazing dude, keep up the good work, and proven the haters wrong like this. You won him over in the end
its obviously humour... otherwise he wont say '' he smart""
@@ocerco93 The Chinese dude realized this guy called out his bluff by speaking French and Russian and was complimenting to save ass but it was not humour. Guy was clearly mad butthurt
Bruh they are just joking/bantering. 🤦🏿♂️
Austin Christensen they are joking around. You don’t have to be serious about it 🤷♂️
I don't have to speak any of these languages to recognize duder was upset that he wasn't the smartest guy in the room anymore.
that guy was so quick to claim they were calling bullshit on him speaking 7 languages, but every time moses spoke a new language he called bullshit on moses, what a guy!
Why couldn’t he just give the black man his props 😂
He acted like this due to envy
We know why
Cause he was jealous that the other dude knew more languages after he schooled the student🤣
Because he's black, He prolly lowkey racist
He an @$$hole, He kept contradicting himslef by sayin
"You aint perfect, You're smart, He's smart, Do you understand what I'm saying, You cant speak it"
That old playa hater is on crack & bathsalts
