Pretty sure you misread Xiao Ma NYC as is 小马NYC i.e. Mark from New York City but idk maybe he also stylises himself as “Small man”. He has studied Chinese for like over 10 years at this point so it’s like whatever. In general though, I’m pretty sure his gimmick is to just memorise set phrases relevant to that interaction. It’s not really conversational but also yeah pretty good wish my Chinese was as good as his.

Besides my typo, at least with the videos I've seen, he's fluent in Cantonese and can hold some light conversations in other Chinese dialects. He seems to be at least able to recognize somebohrases and respond in some African languages. Either way, it's more effort than I've ever put into learning something thet isn't a Latin based Romance language.

Anyone living in Calgary might want to give this severely endangered language a try.
