Arieh Smith (Xiamanyc YouTube) – Street Smart Spanish
Hey, it’s Xiaoma here!
So you want to learn Spanish?
Or maybe you’ve tried to learn Spanish in the past but you’ve forgotten most of it, and want to give it another try.
You’re in the right place!
On this page I’m going to show you how I learned Spanish fast. It’s the same method that I use to go from zero to a conversational level in almost any language nowadays.
And most of the time, I can do that within just a few weeks.
If you pay attention, you’ll also learn how YOU can hold fun and spontaneous conversations with Spanish speakers, in only ten weeks from now.
I invented this approach myself and it’s great for you if:
- You want to speak to Spanish people in their own language and win their respect
- You have Spanish or Latin American heritage but can’t speak any Spanish yet
- You want to experience Spanish or Latin American culture from the inside out
Learning to speak Spanish will let you talk directly to the hearts of over 586,000,000 people.
Yes, I had to look that up 😉
You will impress friends and strangers and put a huge smile on their faces. Just like you see me do in my videos.
Sounds fun?

Why is Speaking Spanish so Hard?
Maybe you tried to learn Spanish in the past. You learned the basic words, maybe some grammar, and it felt like you were making progress.
But how often have you used your Spanish?
I mean how often have you spoken Spanish with a stranger in the real world?
Maybe you tried, but you got stuck translating Spanish in your head and completely froze up.
They say that Spanish is one of the easiest languages for English speakers to learn, but if it’s so easy, then why is it that most learners never become fluent?
The issue is that most language learners focus on stuff that doesn’t really matter at the beginning. They’ll go way too deep into pronunciation or really focus on lists of numbers, colors, the alphabet, and that kind of stuff.
It’s true! I never start learning languages from the alphabet. You don’t need to either – I give you permission!
But this is the way most language courses work. And obviously, it’s important to know all those things at some point.
But it’s like building a fancy house without a foundation. Eventually, it’s going to collapse and you need to start all over again.
When that happens, students get demotivated and give up!
That’s why I learn languages like I play chess.
Yes, no joke!
You can use this approach too, and the best thing is it works 100% from home.
In fact, I believe that it’s possible to learn to have a basic conversation in any language within just 24 hours.
Yes, 24 hours!
You probably think I’m kidding…
But I can guarantee it’s possible because I do this all the time on my YouTube channel
And trust me, I was definitely not the smartest kid in the class.
So what’s the secret?
Hi, I’m Arieh!
My real name is Arieh, but most people know me as Xiaoma. I run the popular YouTube channel Xiaomanyc.
Tens of millions of people watch my videos every month and see how I make connections with people from all kinds of backgrounds, by speaking to them in their language.
I’ve studied over 15 foreign languages, including Chinese, Spanish, Korean, French, Wolof, Maya, Italian, Indonesian, Navajo, Hindi, Punjabi, and Tibetan.
People always ask me how I do it. I get emails literally every day!
With my chess game approach, I managed to hold conversations in all these languages after just a few weeks of studying.
Since I’ve launched my very first Chinese course ‘’Street-Smart Chinese,’’ thousands of students from all over the world have joined and picked up a new language.
I understand that learning a language can be really boring and difficult because that’s how I experienced it at school.
That’s why I thought it was time to make language courses more practical for the real world!
And people seem to love this approach:
The Magic of my “Chess Game” Approach
Chess players usually start the game with standard openings, like moving the pawn from E2 to E4. Then you know that you need to follow up with the Sicilian Defense. Then there are all kinds of standard responses, and that’s because those are generally recognized as the best and most common moves.
And the more you play the game, the better you have those opening moves memorized. As the game gets more complex, your skills get tested more and more by all these variants.
Do you see the similarities between playing chess and learning languages?
That’s why I always focus on the ‘’opening moves’’ at the beginning.
Once you can ‘’open’’ a conversation and start speaking, you have a foundation that you can start building on.
Start with practical phrases like ‘’do you speak Spanish?’’ or ‘’I’m learning Spanish’’. The fancy stuff will follow later.
With this approach, you can speak a new language from the very beginning. This will give you the momentum you need to become fluent.
Join my #1 Spanish Course
for Beginners!
I’ve created a beginner conversation course just for you.
It’s called Street-Smart Spanish!
For this course, I partnered up with an amazing Spanish teacher.
Alejandra from “Spanish con Ale’’ on Instagram and TikTok will be your host in this course. She’s really nice and a great teacher!
Here she is…
She’s prepared a very cool video series for you that will make your Spanish learning journey much more fun.
You’ll learn everything you need to have fun and have 100% real conversations in Spanish, impress Spanish speakers in your neighborhood and your Spanish-speaking friends and relatives!
Your new Spanish skills will help you strengthen your relationships with Spanish speakers you meet and give an entirely new dimension to your life.
Trust me, you really do get a new soul with every new language you learn to speak…
The best thing?
You won’t have to travel to Spain or Latin America. You also won’t have to enroll in a language school and spend thousands of dollars.
”Taking this Spanish class in retirement was one of the best things I ever did! The class was so much fun and it was made easily understandable. And it gave us the “opening chess moves” to start a conversation when we meet Spanish-speaking people. I loved every minute of it and learned so much!”

What is so Special about this Course?
Here’s why students are calling my Street-Smart courses the best all-around package for beginners:
✔ Focus on Real-Life Situations
When you start speaking Spanish with somebody, they will always ask you the same questions:
– How come you speak Spanish?
– Where are you from?
– Do you live here?
We’ll focus on the words, phrases and sentence structures that you need for your first conversations in Spanish in practical real-life situations.
Think about situations like:
– Ordering in a restaurant
– Going to the airport
– Interacting in a bar
– Haggling at the market
– Communicating at a bakery
Alejandra and her friends and I act out all these scenarios in video conversations to get you started speaking Spanish fast. We learn grammar naturally as it comes up in the dialogues, not by memorizing a list of points.
We don’t just teach you a bunch of phrases that you need to learn by heart. You will learn patterns of speech so that you can make your own sentences in Spanish and say whatever you want.
You don’t need any prior experience!
Like the idea of learning Spanish with a teacher?
We’ve added “walkthrough” videos. Alejandra will walk you step by step through all the dialogues of each lesson and give an in-depth explanation of all vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar features.
You’ll almost feel like you’re in a virtual classroom with her as your private teacher, where every single line of dialogue is clearly and simply broken down and explained. This lets me guarantee you the learning experience I want you to have!
Not only that, but you’ll be able to comment on all lesson content, and because of our passion for learning languages, not only do we read every single comment but we also usually reply!
Here’s Everything You’ll Get:
- 10 MODULES (ONE FOR EACH WEEK)
The course comes with 10 modules with real-life Conversations in video and downloadable audio formats to get you started speaking Spanish fast.
- OVER FOUR HOURS OF VIRTUAL GUIDANCE FROM ALEJANDRA
Each video includes subtitles in both English and Spanish to make sure that you understand every single word. Alejandra will walk you step by step through all the vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar features of each lesson.
Master all aspects of the course with me as your virtual guide!
- NATIVE AUDIO RECORDINGS
Native audio recordings to get your pronunciation just right. You’ll no longer need to guess how Spanish is pronounced in the real world.
- WORKSHEETS FOR SELF STUDY
Spending too much time in front of a screen? Print the worksheets and review the dialogues, key vocabulary, and grammar.
- SUPPLEMENTAL SENTENCES
We’ve added supplemental sentences with tons of additional vocabulary for bonus practice, for those who are serious and want more! You definitely won’t be bored!
- CULTURAL NOTES
Fascinating cultural notes on Latin America and its amazing culture. The better you understand Latin-American culture, the easier it will be for you to connect to Spanish-speakers people at a deeper level.
- COMMUNITY WITH LIKE-MINDED SPANISH LEARNERS
Just like on my YouTube channel, you can comment or ask questions on every single lesson, but unlike on my YouTube channel, my team can read every single comment and we usually reply!
