“Xiaomanyc learns 15-20 Arabic simple expressions in 16 hours. Small business owners are supportive because of politeness and customer care, but most of the time reply in English because anything that’s not a greeting is unintelligible. He then adds misleading subtitles that show a way higher fluency”. There I fixed the title.

Can we just end with these stupid "polyglots" ffs. It's a scam, and it's embarrassing to watch.

I figured out his secret - he just repeats everything he says at least twice to give the illusion of greater fluency
