Polyglot "xiaomannyc" talks to HS students in their own dialect - pretty funny

I suspect more than a couple of you have seen some of this guy's videos. I think it all started because he's an ordinary white guy that's fluent in at least one of the Chinese languages. He started by making videos where he shocked Chinese folks by speaking to them after first letting them assume that he only spoke English. He has since learned a slew of other languages and traveled to other places to make videos using those languages.

Well, some HS hired the guy to come speak to the students in "language week". So he studied the slang/language of youth and became proficient in it and spoke to them in their own language which is awesome. That's the first half of the video. The second half is after Ohio state gave him an honorary doctorate when he delivered the commencement speech also in modern kid slang.
