I'm so sad that this is over, Moses invented a genre of RUclips. I'd never seen videos like this before and it really nice seeing him connect with people with their own language. It's helped them relax and just be themselves and get real conversations. He cared and was interested in learning and quite literally never stopped learning. Way to soon, RIP Moses :(
Unexpectedly speaking someone's language gives you an instant charisma boost. And you enjoy the side-effect of them perceiving you as highly intelligent, so you're treated with more respect.
@@Pharomid It's also because a lot of Chinese people outside of China actually speak Cantonese as their native language so they're much happier to speak Cantonese over mandarin
Do you want to know why many chinese in this video is impressed with him ? Cos when he spoke Cantonese, and also Mandarin, his pronunciation is pretty good. Like, very accurate. So this is why they are impressed with him as well. Cos with those from Malaysia, or from Singapore, they too throw in an odd accent, but his listening skills is very good, cos he doesn't have that accent somehow. I also speak Cantonese, and not very strong on mandarin, but his pronunciation of Cantonese is quite good. Thumbs up.
@@Pharomid Cantonese is a regional language whereas Mandarin is widely spoken across China. Only 5% of China's population speaks Mandarin whereas virtually everyone knows Mandarin. Moses might as well be performing a magic trick - it's that rare to hear a non-Cantonese speak the language... and so well, too.
@Dx Fire Haaaaaaaa, you bastard! Lull them into a false sense of safety, let them tell you their most closely guarded secrets, invite you to their home for breakfast, lunch & dinner, then...... ROB THEM BLIND! Hey everyone, don't react, it's a joke and right now the world needs to laugh in these strange times.
The amount of smiles, love, and respect this man has brought to everyone he’s encountered is astonishing. If anyone deserves a place in heaven, it’s LaoShu. I wish we would’ve had the chance to meet. Maybe in the next life. RIP, King. 🙏
It’s so hard not to get emotional considering he had that impact on everyone & it’s just so wholesome. I really hope if there’s something out there he’s in a good place..
As a native Cantonese from Hong Kong, I’m in tears 😭 thank you very much for appreciating Cantonese! You must have invested a lot of efforts. Cantonese is no doubt a difficult language. Unfortunately, many foreigners living in HK (and even some of the new generation from Guangdong) don’t bother to learn it and that’s why people are so amazed at your Cantonese! 👍👍👍
As a speaker of 4 languages I don't really think it's flexing... however if you can speak totally unrelated languages then it's impressive, or when the list grows past like 10. I mean I have moderate comprehension in French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Frisian and Vraams. Doesn't mean I speak them. I also speak over 200 dialects when it comes to the 4 languages I speak. I mean I need at least 10 dialects just to speak with people that I work with.
@@livedandletdie i speak 4 languages myself as well. Chinese, japanese, cantonese and english. But i didnt go out of my way to learn them though, those are just the languages people speak in my family. But i can imagine the satisfaction when you mastered a language on your own and be able to have use it in real life
I cannot believe I won't see another new one of these videos again. Relating to people through language is a basic way to remind us we're more alike than we think. You will be missed dearly.
Hands down the most under rated channel on RUclips he deserved so many more subs and recognition but in the end he was always doing what he loved RIP Laoshu
The fishermen video was the first video I saw of Laoshu, about three-four years ago. I always think about him every couple of months… It was extremely exciting, inspiring and made me happy to see you grow Moses. You were a shining light. I hope you’re at peace, wherever you are. RIP
Same here, many of us started following him after that video. It fulfils an instinct to connect with others when I watch these videos. We should all learn from him and commit to learning another language like he did. RIP.
Same here, it's too bad he never got the chance to go to that gentleman's home to have Chinese Cuisine with his family. Imagine if that was a Level up video too, would probably be one of his most heartwarming pieces of content. Even though he did that regardless in his videos. You are dearly missed Laoshu505000.

J H because even mainland Chinese people can’t speak Cantonese, so any American speaking Cantonese is a shock! He needs to speak my dialect of Cantonese called Toisanese!

Every time I feel discouraged about my progress in learning another language you seem to show up at the right time. I swear, it's as if you knew. Thank you!
my self his Chinese is definitely not crap. Maybe his Cantonese since he’s only been learning it for like 2 years but his mandarin is on point. He can hold a proper conversation and even have the accent on point as well which is why people get so surprised when he starts talking in mandarin to them because they don’t expect someone to be so good at speaking their mother tongue. This compilation shows Moses stuttering a lot when he’s speaking mainly because of nerves and such but you can’t judge his Chinese unless you speak the language yourself.

It’s interesting how friendly Chinese people are when English people can speak Chinese but English people literally don’t care if they see a Chinese person speak english
Bertie Wilkinson it’s a bit different. I do agree with what you are saying, it’s mad hard to learn english if it isn’t your native language. However, most speakers of english aren’t native. It’s not uncommon at all for foreigners to learn english. While there are more Mandarin speakers as a whole, it is mostly from native speakers and not many people (in America especially) take the time to learn it, so it’s more rare and a surprise.
It's why I have started learning Mandarin. I come from an area of the UK with a large university/college and there are many Chinese students who recently immigrated. I want to make them feel as welcome and comfortable as possible, so I've started learning. It is only fair as they have done their best to learn English to fit in
Good point but It's probably different their reaction from English native speakers cause english itself is the connecting world language (common language) without being offensive with my comment by the way, and on the other hand Chinese language is not common to speak it besides the Chinese community or chinese descendents, just my humble and respectful opinion...
@@jmgv75 I think Chinese is also a unifying language- just not for a part of the world you live in. In Asia it is a superpower and a lot of people learn it for business or family reasons. I remember at a language school there being 3 distinct groups- English speakers, Chinese speakers and Spanish speakers. Master those 3 and many doors would open it seems (and yet I chose French and Japanese, sigh).
I'm Brazilian, a lot of people prefer Cantonese, I love it, it sounds beautiful and I hope that it is preserved. I would love to visit HK. Stay strong and stay safe.
6:53 "You were definitely Chinese in the previous life" Yeah, and Japanese, and Korean, and Russian, and Vietnamese, and Cambodian (u can stop reading now the list won't end anytime soon)
nicolas zanni LMAO where to start? I’ll list some and it still won’t be every language he understands/speaks English Mandarin Cantonese Japanese Hmong Cambodian Tagalog Russian French Twi Spanish Italian Arabic Swahili Thai Zulu Polish Swedish Hungarian Armenian And I haven’t even scratched the surface! He can also read Mandarin, Thai and some other languages (probably most of the ones I listed) and he even knows some local languages and dialects as well! BEAST
Still can’t believe you’re gone Moses, I remember discovering your videos and watching countless back to back fascinated by the sheer talent and love for languages you had. Gone way too soon as an amazing, hilarious man. Rest well Moses 🖤
My mother spoke five languages so had similar experiences. She would have insisted that you come to visit, and spend time at our house. She would have been thrilled by your amazing videos.
When I started watching your videos I could only hear mumbling when you were speaking in Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese) but now I can pretty much differentiate between words and sort of understand some other thanks to the subtitles! I'm learning and I wasn't eve aware! Thanks Moses!
@@whyareyoureadingthis8985 Of course, Moses is cooler than all of us. But dude is right tho. Moses is a very unique individual. You don't just walk out of your house and expect to see a 6'7" black dude fluently speaking a bunch of Asian languages. It'd be about as weird as seeing a nerdy 60 year old Asian businessman spitting a dope ass freestyle in line at Target. It's not racist, but you just don't expect to see that shit on an average boring day.
@@aquari_2344 Not many people, regardless of race, speak so many Asian languages, even amongst Asians themselves. And the fact that he's 6'7" would also lead many people to think he plays basketball, once again, REGARDLESS of his race. Stop looking for reasons to be offended. And I don't think Moses is formally educated. Being educated is overrated anyway. Any idiot off the street can take out a massive loan and get a humanities degree, then call themselves educated. But true knowledge is only obtained by a select few, like Moses here. Knowledge > education. Knowledge comes from an individual following their passion, not from a piece of paper.
I think the fishermans reaction is my favourite one of this vid. The way his face lights up and wants to shake laoshu's hand - "lets be friends". Rest in peace Moses, you brought joy to so many people across the globe.
This is the first video I’ve watched since Laoshu passed away. Before that, I used to watch his content on a weekly maybe daily basis always amazed by languages and how they’re utilized actually shape our interactions with other beings. I was lucky enough to exchange several conversations with him on Instagram before his passing. He was always eager to learn in any possible way even by typing in Arabic to chat with me. Very glad I reached out and had a chat with such a bright mind like Moses’. It wasn’t easy to accept that Moses wouldn’t be here anymore to share with us his experiences and the vast knowledge of languages that he possessed. You will definitely be missed. RIP
@@tmg9255 Mandarin is the official language of China vs Cantonese is only spoken in certain provinces like Guangdong for example. In China, far more people speak Mandarin than Cantonese, so it's impressive that he not only speaks the official language, but also speaks one that not even many Chinese people know.
@@dopemarz Not only that but Cantonese is an extremely hard language for a foreigner to learn. Firstly, the language has 6 tones vs Mandarin's 4 tones. Secondly, there is very little digital material available for a non-native speaker to procedurally learn how to speak Cantonese fluently. Like most other regional dialects (e.g. Fuzhounese, Wenzhounese, etc.) the native speakers learn how to speak the language from birth and so the wealth of knowledge for the language is passed down generationally. Linguistic aspects like correct tone usage and pronunciation are so culturally insulated that hearing it out of a foreigners mouth is like encountering a Vulcan from Star Trek in the flesh.
Moses gettin his flex on 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥 These are all my favorite moments flipping from Mandarin then Cantonese and then you really have their heads spinning when u speak there local dialect like fuzhounese. 5:05 to 5:09 Your brother Mark reminds me of Chris Tucker sayin, That's My Doggg, That's my Dogg., but more of That's My Brother, yeszirrr
It's deeply depressing to find out that Laoshu has passed away so suddenly, man I swear 2019-2021 has been extremely cruel, we've lost so many great people, mostly due to the global pandemic (covid-19) smdh. R.I.P Laoshu505000
You’re truly incredible man. It’s so heartwarming to see everyone’s faces light up when you speak. Very inspiring you just earned yourself a new subscriber :)

Well to be fair, Cantonese has a lot of changes in rhythms with more extreme highs and lows than Mandarin.
It's due to the language? When he speaks Vietnamese or Khmer or Hmong, the pitch goes up. But with Macedonian or Serbian, it got really low.
Tone is important when speaking mandarin or cantonese
Asians have the best reaction when you speak in their mother language.

Especially since he's African American. Cantonese people have beautiful reactions.

It’s interesting how friendly Chinese people are when English people can speak Chinese but English people literally don’t care if they see a Chinese person speak english
Bertie Wilkinson it’s a bit different. I do agree with what you are saying, it’s mad hard to learn english if it isn’t your native language. However, most speakers of english aren’t native. It’s not uncommon at all for foreigners to learn english. While there are more Mandarin speakers as a whole, it is mostly from native speakers and not many people (in America especially) take the time to learn it, so it’s more rare and a surprise.
It's why I have started learning Mandarin. I come from an area of the UK with a large university/college and there are many Chinese students who recently immigrated. I want to make them feel as welcome and comfortable as possible, so I've started learning. It is only fair as they have done their best to learn English to fit in
Good point but It's probably different their reaction from English native speakers cause english itself is the connecting world language (common language) without being offensive with my comment by the way, and on the other hand Chinese language is not common to speak it besides the Chinese community or chinese descendents, just my humble and respectful opinion...
English is easier to speak
@@jmgv75 I think Chinese is also a unifying language- just not for a part of the world you live in. In Asia it is a superpower and a lot of people learn it for business or family reasons. I remember at a language school there being 3 distinct groups- English speakers, Chinese speakers and Spanish speakers. Master those 3 and many doors would open it seems (and yet I chose French and Japanese, sigh).
Rip moses .
We miss all your interactions with people from all over the world.
A true gentleman and a true inspiration 👏🙌❤
I like how he puts sub titles for when he laughs 😂
He's laughing in cantonese
?? i dont think you understand, hes talking in another language so hes also laughing in another language
@@MrTahref Ya ur right. Needs to translate the laugh
Lol
Looool
As a Hong Kongese, I am really happy to hear that Cantonese is your favorite language.
I'm Brazilian, a lot of people prefer Cantonese, I love it, it sounds beautiful and I hope that it is preserved. I would love to visit HK. Stay strong and stay safe.
That laugh is contagious.. Rest in Paradise ♥️

Randon person: how many languages do u speak?
Moses : yes
Moses: yes, sí, da, ja, hai, (on and on)
Revisiting these videos brings me to tears. RIP to a beautiful man.
"I can speak mandarin"
-"Oh, cool."
"I can also speak Cantonese"
-"WOW ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
"I speak this language too"
"you do?!?!?"
*Laughs and does a spin*
every time....
This dude inspires me to learn Cantonese. All theses girls go crazy when he speaks Cantonese
@@npcimknot958 not at all
@@npcimknot958 Thank you for the last sentence, we really need someone like you to share more Cantonese to others:'( PS: HK people
Still can't believe he's gone. RIP
@@ngnicole2536 I'm an Hollister knight player what do you need
Dude I speak cantonese myself and lemme just say YOU ARE SO GOOD AT SPEAKING CANTONESE YOU ARE A GOD!!!
Thank you for the compilation dude i’ve been waiting for it because I love the people’s reactions when you speak it. Keep it up man! 🙂
Still can’t believe you’re gone Moses, I remember discovering your videos and watching countless back to back fascinated by the sheer talent and love for languages you had. Gone way too soon as an amazing, hilarious man. Rest well Moses 🖤
I don't know why I always feel great watching the Chinese Cantonese reactions. I keep coming back to watch them on the channel. Great stuff
Lol,they are my favorite too.😁
My mother spoke five languages so had similar experiences. She would have insisted that you come to visit, and spend time at our house. She would have been thrilled by your amazing videos.
Architecture Whisperer I’m sorry for your loss.
@K9hobo productions bruh....
@K9hobo productions jfc
Still come back here to watch Moses. And how he inspired me and others is truly remarkable
When I started watching your videos I could only hear mumbling when you were speaking in Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese) but now I can pretty much differentiate between words and sort of understand some other thanks to the subtitles!
I'm learning and I wasn't eve aware! Thanks Moses!
That Cantobomb is gona put someone to sleep one day. That switch is lethal man.😂👍👍
Getting watery eyed just watching this, Moses at his prime comboing Mando into Canto

When you speak Cantonese it absolutely delights them. Love that.

How freaking weird it must be to be a tall black dude with a freaking go pro on his forehead speaking chinese
shut yo ass up he cooler than u💀😂
@@whyareyoureadingthis8985 Of course, Moses is cooler than all of us. But dude is right tho. Moses is a very unique individual. You don't just walk out of your house and expect to see a 6'7" black dude fluently speaking a bunch of Asian languages.
It'd be about as weird as seeing a nerdy 60 year old Asian businessman spitting a dope ass freestyle in line at Target. It's not racist, but you just don't expect to see that shit on an average boring day.
Just more proof that stereotypes are bullshit. If u really think its that weird to be black and educated u should go meet some black people.
It's a hidden camera
@@aquari_2344 Not many people, regardless of race, speak so many Asian languages, even amongst Asians themselves. And the fact that he's 6'7" would also lead many people to think he plays basketball, once again, REGARDLESS of his race. Stop looking for reasons to be offended.
And I don't think Moses is formally educated. Being educated is overrated anyway. Any idiot off the street can take out a massive loan and get a humanities degree, then call themselves educated. But true knowledge is only obtained by a select few, like Moses here.
Knowledge > education. Knowledge comes from an individual following their passion, not from a piece of paper.
I think the fishermans reaction is my favourite one of this vid. The way his face lights up and wants to shake laoshu's hand - "lets be friends". Rest in peace Moses, you brought joy to so many people across the globe.
The interaction with the older gentleman fishing will always be my favorite video
"I speak cantonese"
*My time has come*
Laoshu was so extraordinary. I can't stop smiling every time he speaks and connects with people. Speechless.....
Speaks Mandarin
Me: Smiles
Speaks Cantonese
Me: *Smile Intensifies*
哈哈哈
The Cantonese ones are the best because it means so much to the people that speak it and instant respect is given
Soooooo cool!!!!!!
RIP Moses
I still come back to watch these videos sometimes because of your kind soul and genuine interactions with people from all over the world
4:40 "i speak cantonese"
dude looks over
its time my friend
Man....when I watch your vids I realize that I'm smiling the whole time. So good. Keep em coming they make my day brighter!!!
This is the first video I’ve watched since Laoshu passed away. Before that, I used to watch his content on a weekly maybe daily basis always amazed by languages and how they’re utilized actually shape our interactions with other beings. I was lucky enough to exchange several conversations with him on Instagram before his passing. He was always eager to learn in any possible way even by typing in Arabic to chat with me. Very glad I reached out and had a chat with such a bright mind like Moses’.
It wasn’t easy to accept that Moses wouldn’t be here anymore to share with us his experiences and the vast knowledge of languages that he possessed. You will definitely be missed.
RIP
As a non Chinese, even I would melt at the sound of Cantonese.
Jasvinder Singh Hi, there. I am American and just happened upon the video and I’m wondering Why is it more shocking when he speaks Cantonese?
@@tmg9255 Mandarin is the official language of China vs Cantonese is only spoken in certain provinces like Guangdong for example. In China, far more people speak Mandarin than Cantonese, so it's impressive that he not only speaks the official language, but also speaks one that not even many Chinese people know.
dopemarz Thank you for taking the time to reply. 🙏🏽
@@tmg9255 Np ✌🏼
@@dopemarz Not only that but Cantonese is an extremely hard language for a foreigner to learn. Firstly, the language has 6 tones vs Mandarin's 4 tones. Secondly, there is very little digital material available for a non-native speaker to procedurally learn how to speak Cantonese fluently. Like most other regional dialects (e.g. Fuzhounese, Wenzhounese, etc.) the native speakers learn how to speak the language from birth and so the wealth of knowledge for the language is passed down generationally. Linguistic aspects like correct tone usage and pronunciation are so culturally insulated that hearing it out of a foreigners mouth is like encountering a Vulcan from Star Trek in the flesh.
Moses gettin his flex on 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
These are all my favorite moments flipping from Mandarin then Cantonese and then you really have their heads spinning when u speak there local dialect like fuzhounese.
5:05 to 5:09 Your brother Mark reminds me of Chris Tucker sayin, That's My Doggg, That's my Dogg., but more of That's My Brother, yeszirrr
It's deeply depressing to find out that Laoshu has passed away so suddenly, man I swear 2019-2021 has been extremely cruel, we've lost so many great people, mostly due to the global pandemic (covid-19) smdh. R.I.P Laoshu505000
Yea but Moses had a bad heart condition. We need to remember that apart from cvd there are millions of different diseases.
Still so sad Moses is not with us anymore
what??? i just found this channel. hes 'gone'??

You’re truly incredible man. It’s so heartwarming to see everyone’s faces light up when you speak. Very inspiring you just earned yourself a new subscriber :)
Moses flexing that Cantonese almost every time after Mandarin
Ikr 😂😂😂😂😂
your videos always make me so happy i love seeing their reactions keep up the good work dude!
Language is the great equalizer! Thank you for showing me that. Rest in Power.
Watching these videos is so bitter sweet now that Moses is gone. Truly a special person who we will never forget. RIP
I agree with you Moses, I would say that Cantonese is my favorite language too! After my Mandarin game is strong I’m also going to take up some Canto like you dude you’re incredible!! 🇭🇰
