xQc impresses Hispanic streamers with Spanish skills, earns praise from the streaming community

So it was a pleasant surprise for many viewers to hear him speak Spanish with a level of clarity and proficiency that they did not expect.

During his Discord call, Felix apologized for interrupting their meeting before translating:

"I wish good luck to all the participants."

Naturally, his Spanish was met with rapturous applause from fellow Spanish-speaking streamers on the call, who greeted him with "gracias" (thank you in English). Felix concluded the call by stating:

"Thank you. I am leaving the room."

In addition to the praise from Hispanic streamers, xQc's lexical aptitude and pronunciation in Spanish also received recognition from the LSF (LivestreamFail) subreddit.

Many users were impressed by his efforts to communicate with Spanish-speaking streamers and commented on his clear and accurate pronunciation, despite using Google Translate for support:

Several users acknowledged that xQc's bilingual abilities allowed him to pronounce Latin words more accurately than someone who only speaks English:
