After immersing himself in TikTok videos, polyglot Xiaomanyc dressed up as a nerdy professor to address the students of Westtown High School in their native Gen Alpha language.
“I was invited by Westtown School to give a speech—as a language expert—about the importance of learning languages, in front of a full auditorium of high school and middle school students. But instead of just telling the students why language matters…I decided to show them.
So I spent weeks secretly mastering Gen Alpha slang and then delivered the entire speech in their own linguistic native tongue, as a lighthearted prank but also to genuinely emphasize the importance of learning languages.”
