      BBC News - YouTuber Xiaomanyc from New York stuns speaking Welsh https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-6755889

      A New Yorker who has learned dozens of languages left Cardiff locals stunned after speaking to them in Welsh.

      Arieh Smith, 33, known as Xiaomanyc online, spent three weeks studying Welsh before flying across the Atlantic to chat with native speakers.

      He has amassed more than a billion views on YouTube documenting himself speaking languages across the globe.

        I remember that annoying little blond speccy git in my childhood and he sang:

        "Nes-uls Milky-Bar"...
        Then sometime 90's? 00's they started with this Nes-lay b0llix!!

        What is the world coming to? It all went downhill form then!!! Blah Blah Gammon Gammon Boomer Boomer
        Probably the same twat who encourages the pronunciation of "Sarkozy" with a faux "French Accent"!
