Indians Let American Eat For Free When He Orders in Tamil

The fact that you can have a conversation within 3 weeks of learning it is absolutely mind blowing

The sri lankan restaurant lady really looked at him like he’s the perfect son in law she’s been looking for 😂

That “Ari, how is your food?” Felt so homely. It makes me wanna start learning other languages 😭

Xiaoma needs to get his own show or something he is so talented and impressive!

Thank you so so much for making my aunt’s day!!! My family owns New Asha Sri Lankan Restaurant. Fun fact: The restaurant is named after me. My middle name is Asha (means hope in our language). My aunt Viji is the one in the video!!! She is super motherly and really got caught off guard when you started talking Tamil! She was so happy and she truly loves feeding anyone that walks into the door. Thank you for taking the time to learn about different cultures and speaking the language. You have definitely made all of us proud and happy. So glad you enjoyed the food as well! LOVE is the secret ingredient to everything. ♥️🇱🇰

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”

I remember being a kid and being so excited to see any labels on foods or anything in my mother language, and I wish someone just suddenly spoke to me in polish. I'd be beyond happy back then.

I love seeing people smile when they hear you speaking their language. It is such a beautiful thing being able to communicate with someone in their mother tongue.

I love how’s she’s in the back and yells,’ Ari, how is it?’ Like an auntie or nana would with a family member. Connecting with people over language and food is pure magic.

Any person who works in the food industry knows this guy just got the served the best food they could and more than likely a larger portion than most customers would get. You can easily tell he made their day and gave these people a memory that would last quite a while.

I'm literally Tamil and I've tried learning it on and off for 3 years (and can barely speak) , you have inspired me to buckle down and actually learn it 😀

Xiaoma is the kinda dude the would study a lost 3000 year old language with 763 grammatical cases for just a few months then speak it completely fluently with the small village of 35 people that still know the language

I love that you still paid even though it was offered for free. This is true respect for other people's effort.

As a Tamilian living in the PNW, I can confirm that this guy is absolutely mastering Tamil! He knows some phrases I don't even know yet! I'm very proud of you for taking the time to speak our language. Kudos to this guy ❤

This is a beautiful channel because it shows that the native speakers love their language being spoken by a guy like you. What’s sad though is there are people (not the majority but a lot) that will call this “cultural appropriation”. And what’s funny about that is people who tell others to not appropriate all have their own definition of that word. Keep up the great work!

'Ari, how is it?' almost made me tear up by how kind and sincere she was.

The last woman at the restaurant warmed my heart you could tell she was sincerely touched you took the effort to learn her language. So touching.

The way she said “Ari, how is it?” was adorable. Definitely a caring and kind parent.

என் தமிழை வெளி நாட்டவர் பேசுகையில் என் தமிழின் பெருமை பற்றி உலகெங்கும் கூற உள்ளம் உல்லாசமடைகிறது. இவரது தமிழ் மிகவும் அருமை.

this lady was so motherly. she spoke to you like she would speak to her own son.
