  • My Hasidic Orthodox Jewish friend speaks perfect Mandarin, and today we went to Flushing, New York City’s biggest Chinatown, to chat with Chinese locals in Mandarin! We bargained throughout the marketplaces and supermarket. Then we ran into a legit Buddhist priest and his friends who were all totally surprised that we spoke Mandarin and Fuzhounese. We bought plenty of fruit from vendors and groceries from the supermarket using our Chinese, and lots of amazing conversations were had. Really interesting social experiment that surprised us all!
    Make sure you check out my friend Philip’s channel - he’s a Hasidic Jewish guy who speaks totally fluent Mandarin from a stint in China, and he's traveled all over the world as well! / chayal304

    Personally, I work in a factory (Ontario, Canada) and 90% of my coworkers are Chinese. It really got me interested in learning the language, and I've been on Duo Lingo for about 2 months now. This last month past I haven't been giving that much effort, but finding this channel again and seeing the smiles it brings to passer-bye's when Xiaoma speaks to them is exactly how some of my own coworkers felt when I come in and try to speak to them.
    This content has inspired me to turn my outlook around and want to push further into learning their tongue, with enough practice I hope I could be at this level of speech!

    In my opinion, having Philip as a companion on your excursion helps you. He is a little older and less timid (or perhaps less cautious). Philip will ask questions or interact in a way that makes the people reveal more about themselves. He places or puts himself in there, with the Chinese speaking people. Perhaps he is being consistent with his language learning tip. That is, he immerses himself in with the people that speak another language. He even gets physically closer to people, sort of gets into other people's space (physically & figuratively). Not at all, implying that your are invading people's space. Maybe he learned a different concept of "personal space" from his Hasidic community. Regardless, you both (Ari & Philip) fed off each other by giving each other more confidence and at the same time being respectful in this cross cultural excursion. This is one of your best videos. Would like to hear you comment about what you (Ari) learned from each excursion or video (for example, it was interesting to hear the claim, that Myanmar is a major exporter of jade).

      @Jonathan Wei thanks for the clarification, coz I thought it’s really rude of her to say that..

      Jonathan - Ah, the beauty (and importance) of other and often more accurate translations. Thanks, man.

      yeah, the translations aren't always accurate (in fact sometimes it's on purpose for irony)

    Lmaoo that old guy in the chair with the glasses was totally making fun of the monk. You can tell he's not religious and was ripping on him for believing in something he views as silly. And his sense of humor was killer too, like "well we never do anything wrong, so there's no real need for prayer" 😂😂

      Eh, he was poking fun at him because he's not a monk, or any kind of real "大师". Just a guy who bought some books on rituals and a costume on Aliexpress.
