Kai Cenat goes viral for candidly learning new words and even the dictionary is impressed

People online are celebrating Twitch streamer Kai Cenat for sharing his experience of learning to read, including videos of him sounding out unfamiliar words.

Kai Cenat hasn’t posted much on social media since finishing his hugely popular ‘Mafiathon 3’ livestream in September 2025.

After a break from creating content, rumors spread that he was finished streaming. However, on January 13, 2026, he announced that wasn’t true, explaining he’d been quietly posting videos on a hidden YouTube channel.

During his downtime, Cenat has been focusing on fashion and personal growth. He’s been documenting his journey learning to sew, sketching clothing ideas, and making sure to read for at least 20 minutes each day.

Kai Cenat’s reading journey wins over fans across social media

People online have been particularly interested in Kai Cenat’s recent focus on reading. He realized he wasn’t happy with his speaking style and felt people weren’t fully listening to him, so he started reading to improve his vocabulary.

He admitted he struggled to express himself clearly. He realized that during disagreements, people didn’t take him seriously because he’d get anxious and stumble over his words, leaving him unsure of what had gone wrong.

Videos of Kai Cenat are quickly spreading on Instagram and X, showing him reading and occasionally pausing to check a dictionary for pronunciation help. For example, a popular clip shows him looking up how to say the word ‘spontaneity’.

People have reacted very positively to Kai being open about their reading habits. In fact, Merriam-Webster dictionary noticed and shared a clip of Kai’s candid moment on X (formerly Twitter).

One user commented that Kai Cenat’s commitment to self-improvement – specifically, his goal to read for 20 minutes daily to improve his communication skills – is truly inspiring and a positive role model for his fans.

Someone commented that it’s admirable Kai Cenat is openly working on his reading skills and admitting he struggled with literacy. They believe this will inspire young people to do the same.

Kai Cenat has been prioritizing reading, which comes after another streamer, YourRage, suggested he’s shifting away from live broadcasting to pursue acting in movies and television. As of now, Kai hasn’t confirmed or denied these claims.
