That's not a problem for Arieh Smith a.k.a Xiaomanyc who's able to not only speak Mandarin Chinese at a near-native level but also learn new languages to a conversational level within 24 hours. Is there a trick to learning languages and how do people react when a Caucasian guy knows their native tongue so well?

Guest: Arieh Smith a.k.a. Xiaomanyc, YouTuber and Mandarin Chinese Teacher
