Language learning
McCormick gained popularity by speaking several languages with native speakers that he met in public places, and uploading the videos on his YouTube channel.[2][3][4] He called this activity leveling up.[5]
McCormick taught language lessons remotely over the internet,[6] over time developing his own language learning method, which he called FLR (Foreign Language Roadrunning).[7][8]
The foreign language in which McCormick was most fluent was Mandarin Chinese. He also spoke around twenty languages at a basic conversational level, including Japanese, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Korean, Somali, Spanish, and Swahili.[2]
Death
McCormick died on March 4, 2021, in Phoenix, Arizona, possibly due to heart complications.[7][6][8]
