White privilege is when a person of color gets made fun of for speaking broken English while a white guy gets praised for speaking a few basic sentences in any non-European language.

Go to https://streetsmartlanguages.com/ai to potentially be one of the first people to try out my new AI language tutor. I can't believe this actually worked! Today we're testing out a new artificial intelligence tutor my team and I have been developing that I think has the potential to revolutionize how we learn foreign languages. It’s a speech-based tutor that can teach you a new language from scratch in your native language, can engage you in conversation practice in your target language, and can correct pronunciation and explain grammar at whatever level you would like it to. We have the ambition to turn this into something really big and make it available for the public. If you want to be part of it and potentially get early alpha access, sign up now! We will ask you for your input, keep you up to date on our progress, and hopefully soon give you a chance to try it out for yourself.

Apes Freaked Out When I Spoke Their Language

[kkulbeolyeonghwa]

End-of-the-year review!

The biggest achievement of this year was getting into my dream university. Here's how I did with my self studies.

AINU This was very fun and I am OBSESSED with the language. I filled up my 64-page notebook in under a year. I can speak pretty fluently already! Will totally be continuing to study this language next year!

KOREAN Korean was on maintenance mode for most of the year. I have been forcing myself to read and listen more and of course keep watching content in the language.

NORTH SÁMI My new focus for the year, I study this for university. I got great marks for my first course and I feel like I am progressing fast. There will be a small break where I can't take it at school again so I need to make sure I don't forget anything!

JAPANESE I have been studying this language a bit more than Korean for the first time. I feel like I still need to study a lot but my reading skills have been improving a lot this year!

MANDARIN & CANTONESE I have been consuming content in both languages over the year and have become obsessed with Cantonese cooking shows. I can understand a lot, but I cannot speak at all in either language

KARELIAN I have been reading content and trying to finally learn some grammar. Waiting to enroll in a course in this language some day. I understand the language perfectly because I grew up hearing it, just can't speak it!

OKINAWAN I have neglected this language a bit. I got about 5 pages of notes written down this year. Next year I hope to focus on the conjugations of words more

DUTCH I can understand text very well due to my existing Swedish knowledge but cannot understand speech well. Maybe I need to focus on that next year.

SWEDISH I moved to an area where this language is spoken more so I have naturally started picking up more words. I can speak the language well already but now I know what words the locals use for stuff, it's super interesting

YUKAGHIR? I have started picking up words from all the Yukaghir music I listen to. I wasn't even going to learn the language. Please I don't want to fall down another language rabbit hole and be obsessed with a random language

Other: I want to learn another Uralic language, maybe Nenets or Nganasan! I can learn those through my university at some point. I would also like to learn a language like Spanish or Russian for fun but I think I don't have enough time for that. I also need to find a job... Oh right and I can speak a bit more toki pona and have been working on my conlangs too.

white guy stuns locals by using their language and culture for views and then gets beaten to death. in perfect mandarin

[icedsodapop]

Fuck Xiaomanyc. Fuck Jubilee for platforming this embarassing basic ass white guy.

[rotzaprachim]

it is hysterical that xiaomanyc has (as far as I know) actually been invited by the community language revival organizations of Scottish Gaelic and Louisiana French and the Cree Nation to come interact with speakers and post it on YouTube, because I think it was mostly done to give speakers the ultimate guilt trip that “if this nitwit can speak our language, so can YOU” to their kids

[goddamnitlopori]

Hi Lopori! I saw a youtube video by a channel called Xiaomanyc (a polyglot that travels around and learns to speak different languages) where he tried to learn to "speak Bonobo" through body language and vocalizations, then visited Kanzi & co. at the Ape Initiative. It's an interesting watch, if a little click-baity. Just wanted to rec it since I immediately thought of you!

You're not the first person to recommend that video to me aha. I gave it a watch today, he does a pretty good impression! If deeper in pitch. I can do a half decent high-hoot and laugh, I want to do what he did!

Cree Elders Get Emotional When I Speak Their Dying Language - Xiaomanyc

"Anyway, I was challenged to come out in the middle of the ice cold winter to remote northern Saskatchewan to learn Cree, one of the world’s most difficult and highly endangered languages, by Patrick, a dancer from Canada’s indigenous Cree people, and then try to give a speech in Cree in front of a room full of skeptical elders. We also went dog sledding, sweat lodging, and moose eating – a truly unique First Nations / Native American experience! If you want to learn some Cree, Patrick and his family have Cree courses available at repeataftermecree.com"

This is honestly so amazing and so beautiful to see. I wasn't raised close with my indigenous family, but I do know a few words and phrases myself. It's an incredibly hard language to learn and speak, and even my cousins who grew on reserves don't speak much if any at all. It's made me even more committed to taking classes to learn as well to help preserve my culture and language.

I'm so grateful to Ari, aka Xioma, for making this video and taking the time to learn and share everything he has. Language truly does bring people together.

the xiaomanyc channel is one of those few escapist forms of entertainment that allows me to pretend we live in the star trek future

[max1461]

Xiaomanyc is a grifter of some sort, right?

Yeah. Youtube fake polyglots are a whole cottage industry. I think Xiaoma does actually speak Chinese (more than can be said of many of these guys) but he's a typical youtube-type public asshole about it. He's faking most of the languages he speaks though, all these guys are.
