He goes from one shop to another, speaking to people.
Smith first goes to a paan (betel) shop and tells the shopkeeper in Bangla that he liked it very much, leaving the latter amazed.
He also goes to a flea market looking for a pyjama, and to a 'Bangali Street Food' stall and talks to the shopkeepers in Bangla.

His language skills earned him a lot of love on the web.
“I'm a Bengali and his accent is very good as a foreigner. I'm so proud”, a user wrote in the comments section of his YouTube post.
“I'm from Bangladesh, And like you said, even though Bengali is one of the most spoken languages in the world, the Bengali culture is not highlighted as much as other cultures. Watching others actually making an effort to learn or at least appreciate the Bengali culture is just so heartwarming to me. Thank you so much for that. Wish you the best of luck,” another user posted.
