Really love people who can speak multiple languages. Much respect ❤️
How can it be that you almost watch every video I watch? I don't understand
@@creepie0520 you guys are soulmates
How are you everywhere
哈哈
马来西亚人，5 种语言或以上应该是必备的
You speak Mandarin faster than my brain cells work in English.
How you speak fluent mandarin so good😍😍😍
LOOOOOL
ARMYYYYY😁
LMAO
Actually she speaks too fast lol, even we native speakers don't speak that fast.
She is wearing her mask upside down. That is why is it kept falling of here nose.
mainly cause the ear loops are way too big for her, she just needs a better fit mask
There is supposed to be a little white strip where you press it against your nose. U can clearly see the white strip is on the bottom of the mask. I’m actually surprised how someone wouldn’t know how to wear a mask,
yes... its upside down..wired part is on her chin...
Is she i thoughts she didn't pinch the part on the nose tht holds it up please cover that Diick you call a nose lol
She also says that COVID-19 is not China's fault
I'm so bothered with her mask falling off. I want to tie it
same here. in my head, i keep telling her that her mask is upside down
Ducttape it!
@@tracy_5577 She is wearing a mask without covering her nose
@@cammiyue5349 she tried to wear a mask correctly but it kept falling down because her mask was upside down
same same same
I'm so impressed your mom's Chinese is like native Chinese.
Who is superior?

@@J.S325 lol
Its the wrong thing to focus on, but youre wearing the mask upside down and the struggle of keeping it on, was unfortunately catching most of my attention. Otherwise great vid :)
Yeah me too
same
also everyone please put your mask back up when your server comes to your table, don't talk to them with your mask down. we don't like that!
It's been months into the pandemic and seeing how she doesn't know how to properly wear a face mask makes me think she rarely wears one.
Me too
I also want to add that it’s really touching to see two American ladies humbling themselves to immerse in a foreign culture. If we all have this attitude toward people who are different from us I am sure the world will be a better place! 加油！
Why do you say "humbling themselves".. They are simply interested. Besides, here they are in a "China town" in America. Where are the America towns in China,.. Where Chinese people could learn more English....???
@@jdemeulenaer123 chinese people learn english from school, from watching american films and tv series and communicating with foreigners if they work in a multinational company or a company that does business with foreigners. There is no americam town in china because american expats tend to work as english teachers not restaurant or shop owners. There are places expats like to hang out so local people could go there to make friends. But they are not americam exclusive, there are other foreign nationalities there so cant be considered american town. But there are american corporates everywhere, mcdonalds, apple, starbucks, KFC, you only need to walk a few hundred meters befote you see one so if you wont run out of american things to look at. They are everywhere and not just concentrated in a small place like china town in NYKC.
@@jdemeulenaer123 that’s is cap..... japan Korea and Chinese have a English requirement class in highschool through university
What is so humbling about that? It develops THEM, not chinese culture.
Americans love immersing themselves in other cultures, martial arts, music, movies,,dances, languages, foods, love. Very welcoming and curious people Americans are, At least that’s what it looks like to an outsider.
ok im so intrigued
ayo Damon! Would love to see you attempt to learn Chinese
DAMON time to learn chinese!! Just finished my first course and I'm in love with the language
Omg what are you doing here LOL! Bonjour!
Omg hi! If ur considering learning Chinese let us know!!!
She learned her chinese in taiwan and shanghai. More like in shanghai more. Moreover, crazy fast chinese. Not the typical mandarin i hear talking in beijing and even in shanghai. Her english is super slow as compared to her chinese guys
我在无锡工作，女孩的普通话很像这边人，尤其像我以前的一个师傅。
@@老李-z1y 真的， 他的口音不是很像台灣人⋯
Vietnamese also speak english really fast. I wonder if it's something that language learners like doing because they believe speaking fast makes them seem like they're good at that foreign language. But speaking fast actually leaves more room for errors in pronunciation and word usage.
Her Putonghua is rapid fire and so is her English. The subtitles help.
@@bun1609 don’t think that’s the cause. She just speaks Chinese fast. I don’t think I the speed of your speaking would make a valid point that you speak better in a certain language but the words one choose to use.
you wore it upside down, thats why it kept sliping down, the clip on top is for adjustment on your nose to keep it steady
Her mom do it right
the mask was to big, and different than the one her mom was wearing If she had one a little more similar to her moms, it might fit a little better. But she has a small face.
It's so cute to see a western daughter and mom speaks to each other in Chinese.
It's also so nice to see a mom and daughter are so close like a friend.
Good on you and have fun girls.
that moment when this white person speaks better chinese than you
Lol
lmao. i hope you use it as motivation
you can get there
Haha it's gold
I can relate Lol!
Message from Hongkong: She needs a way smaller size mask, 14.5cm should be good. Dun touch the mask surface at all time, germs and virius are concentrated on the surface. While you are eating, take off the surgical mask, lay it flat on a clean napkin and DUN touch the surface of the mask. Wear it after you finish meal or just use a new one.
It’s also upside down.
So, message from China rather..
@KJ JK Jerk
why did you have to emphasise 'from hong kong'?
J Z 😂lmao
I’m so distracted by this young lady’s mask. Lol! Does she not feel uncomfortable how it keeps falling off and how loose it is? It’s become my pet peeve since the pandemic started, first to see people wearing their mask wrong, second when people keep touching the outside of their masks and adjusting it so much. Like stoooop! LOL!
It is more like a fashion accessory instead of an actual protection. It may do more harm other than protection if one doesn’t use it correctly
me tooo !!! half of the time i was just thinking, “noooo” because of her mask
@@ellamyntr3acha348 it is sooo true... it is not that hard to keep your mask on and not touch it!!!
Haha you’re right, rewatching now that I know how to put it on properly, it is distracting to me too haha! Thanks for your comment :) JJ
I think she does that on purpose, how stupid! Keep your mask on!!!
JJ you might have your face mask upside down. That might be why it keeps falling off.
😂😂😂😂
@KJ JK Quoted by you: "So GTFO u noob"
Thank you for your reply.
This goes to show what kind of person you are.
A rude & vulgar person with the least education & without "family' teaching" as we will say in Cantonese'.
"Mow Kar Kau"
Looks and sound dumb!
putianren! You to nice to KJ JK! I’ll tell him ” Tieu ni lu mu, ham ka san - Mow kar kau “
To resolve the issue of a loose mask I've tied a rubber band between the two earpiece to hold the mask up to my face and should it fall it will not go anywhere.
I just notice how chinese people always be like don't order so much, eat first, order more of it's not enough.
yeh so ppl dont waste food
@@BYLife-jx6kg It was vice versa, when I was in China in 2008. Every person from company was ordering something, all dishes were big, 50% of food was left. I've been a bit shocked.
Here in Canada where I live now, Chinese people order small portions.
@@step670 same here in that I’m Canadian and was raised not to waste food. But when I went to SK (ik it’s not China but still) I was surprised that food waste wasn’t such a concern there.
Isn't it always like that everywhere? Except my friend... I can't trust her to order food because she always order more than what she can eat. Her eyes are hungry. Not her stomach.
I'm glad some restaurant will happily let you know you're ordering too much food I seen some that didn't give a crap cuz they making money. Although I know some waiters are scare they mightl offend the customer for mentioning they ordering too much food
Please get a new mask, watching it slip down constantly is distracting.
I should add very impressed with your fluency!
she wore it up-side-down !
Loop the elastic pieces and put on your ears ! It will fit much better and it also stops glasses from fogging up ! Oh and wear it around the other way
Are you related to Boris Johnson?
@@wendy7314 You are going to have to be a little more specific
3:04 when the staff told you not to order too much... Truly a Chinese uncle 😂
hhayyaaa
He really was like "dont order so much" 💀
you’re chinese is so impressive that even i myself as a chinese don’t speak as fast as you do HAHA
The content is so good that those who paid attention to your mask either all speak Chinese perfectly or they were not reading or appreciating the vlog AT ALL. Guys, please.... Lovely ladies, lovely video.
We want her to be safe. It's been 8 or 9 months with COVID in the US. She should have learned how to wear a face mask by now.
A kid knows how to wear a mask properly than her.
People are literally dying because of this
it’s good for people learning chinese language or wanna go to university in china
Being able to speak multiple languages instantly breaks the ice.
Lol...you guys are so cute and funny.
Btw, If your mask is too loose, you can rotate/twist the elastic band around thereby giving you a tighter fit.
Also, you should have sent or shown those Cantonese speaking waiters the clip of your mom singing Shanghai Beach... I’m sure their jaws would have dropped and pleasantly surprised 🤣
I'm not sure if it's a surprise or simply shocking ?😂
You know what I found even more funny? Her mom didn't even try telling her that it was upside down or correcting her in any way.
KJ JK - There’s no need to be rude.
I almost can't believe this. I didn't know there's such an authenitic chinese snack store in Chinatown still. I thought they were permanently closed long ago. I hope they will make it through the pandemic. Thank you so much for sharing!
Haha server got so frustrated...and said, "don't order too much!" LOL.
yes if you say this here in my country the personne gonna kill you lmao
He’s actually being nice and true, cuz he knows the portion is big and they probably can’t finish all of them.
It will be rude here.
It will be rude here.
U wore your mask upside down 😱😱the harder side should be on top that shape on your NOSE
江门is a city in guangdong province~ and many of the immigrants in chinatown were from 福州 （fuzhou) in 福建（fujian province). by the way guangzhou is a city and guangdong is province like equivalent to state in the USA.
no,wrong,Chinatown created by 台山人
I live in 福建😄
So, where are the American towns in guangdong..??? None?? Why ?? Unfair, right?
@@woheni Lu Kong Hokkian Bo?

pinch your mask, literally no point in wearing one if it constantly slips off
Literally cannot watch.
Ikr
No point in masks period. I’m amazed at how many are falling for the NWO bs!
@@FreedomwithRob You’re an idiot.
Please shut uppppp lord
your mum is wearing the mask correctly, but you are upside down.
the metallic strip is for the bridge on the nose.
mean
@KJ JK yo yo yo someone who wears a mask the wrong was isn't dumb ..... the fact your commenting this on a lady's video who learned Chinese which is known for being a quite a hard language is funny ....... it seems that your definition of dumb in this situation is wrong
abby mt Actually, wearing the mask incorrectly increases the chances of contracting the virus. So in a sense it is dumb. She’s not dumb, but not wearing it correctly is.
@@taoist32 OK i get what your saying but well you could have made that a little bit more clearer instead of insulting her whole existence
abby mt Ok. Blame the behavior, not the person.
Wow shes so pretty and her Chinese sounds like native!
OK I actually like how you're open to constructive criticism from others(about wearing your mask) and acknowledged your wrongdoings from flushing) and how you're don't have a know it all attitude. Kudos. Btw we can hear you fine and you should know as a friend of xiaoma that xiaoma kept his mask on and he didn't have any problems being understood so you shouldn't either
Thanks so much! I think I’ve learned a lot how to wear it now and am definitely more diligent these days. Really appreciate the understanding - it makes it a pleasure to read these constructive comments! JJ
You really can't notice she studied in Taiwan 😂 her Chinese accent is so strong
She might stay in Shanghai longer and Shanghai could be her last Mandarin speaking place before she went back to the USA
Hello all! YES I know the mask is upside down and also too BIG for my face! 😅 That is corrected in future videos! Thank you! 😊
I’m actually jealous of your face being way too small for the mask. And I’m sure I’m not the only one 😂
As we breath, virus can go in thru the nose, mouth, pls Stay Safe, Cheers
one suggestion. I feel like the video is a little bit rushy. you speak so fast. and the pace of the video is also fast. it will be great. you can be a little big slow
Make a knot on the ear band.
@@snowgerm900 The mask she wears in the video does not protect you from the virus but protect the people around you
your accent is actually perfect! i’m super impressed, maybe one or two times you used the wrong tone but there’s even variation in tone between natives from two different places, so it doesn’t sound too weird haha
Hey JJ! I hope you are doing well. You are helping me learn Chinese listening skills. Ps. Get a smaller size mask, so your mask doesn't fall down while you are talking.
Love your relationship with your mum 💖
NYC Chinatown looks amazing that I would love to go in there for sure. Great video miss and I hope you're safe and protected as well! ☺
Yup, mask was worn upside down. The wire part should be molded in the bridge of the nose.
真羡慕母女这样的关系！太有爱了
我的名字是哈立德，你的中文太棒了，我真的很受你的启发，小马和你妈妈继续努力，你真的把中国和美国联系在一起了
it's actually something sad when you see a Chinese person like that who comes from far, trying to integrate in the local life, yet he hasn't mastered the main language used there. I've heard stories from my father about people like them. it's hard to imagine if some day I'm gonna have to live a very faraway place and I couldn't speak the language there. Anyway back on studying.
王齐平 My grandfather (dad’s side) came through Canada and settled in Boston back in 1916. He became a huge proponent of education for immigrants. He lived in Chinatown until he passed. Everyone knew him. He had a printer’s shop for decades. There is a small museum dedicated to him and his efforts to help new immigrants integrate into a new society.
It's hard to learn a new language past childhood though some adults can manage. The gentlemen probably never immersed himself in an English speaking only environment.
There are many mainland Chinese and Vietnamese who work overseas and don't speak the local languages there.
@@lionessprowess3581 immersion is the key I agree wholeheartedly, but immersion costs 1) money also 2) strain emotionally ...not for the weak because rejection is frequent. takes a lot
This video I found hard to watch because this woman while I admire her speaking Mandarin, still is very ignorant on how to adjust her mask so that it stays in place!
Jiangmen is one of the city in Guangdong province.They have dialect like Taishanness.You and ypur mom's mandarin is awesome.Thanks for supporting 华人!谢谢你!
US is like the only country where people are shocked when you're bilingual.
Yeah, especially if you don't look foreign.
Thanks for sharing and shedding light on such important issues. Btw your mothers chinese has improved so much.
Pro tip: Your mask keeps falling off because it is upside down :)
When you wear a mask you should pinch the nose part
She wore it upside down
Tsk tsk, went on about wearing mask properly, but failed miserably,
Terry, youre quite rude.
I don't think so, and l am definately not risking anyone's life, like they are
@@henrietta9206 Constantly touching your mask like that puts other people in danger. This lady is not a kid. She Shouldn’t have left the house with an oversize mask, let alone wearing it upside down. I feel like she’s trolling.
For a second I thought your mom was Meryl Streep.
lmao 🤣🤣
I am from a city that’s very closed to Jiangmen and I also lived in NYC. It’s good see Chinatown from a different perspectives and it’s very interesting!!! Thank you for visiting Chinatown and sharing your stories!! Btw, the ppl from Canal ST, most of them speak Fujian dialect.
做了双语字幕真的很用心(虽然我听得懂英文😄
twist those earloop, thank me later.
I don't really feel comfortable to say: "那个，那个，那个....." in NYC, there are lots of crazy people without language background out there who would think it's an insulting word for a certain race. Especially when my parents visiting me, and they don't speak English at all. The first thing I taught them when they come here is don't say: '那个' when in public cuz you never know...... but they are old and sometimes they forget, we almost got into trouble one time. What's your opinion?
Yeah.It's really dangerous for those chinese seniors who don't know english to say 'neige' in public situation,especially during these months
Great! In case they are Buddhists, tell them to not exhibit any Buddhist items that show the Buddhist Swastika. Our culture, religion, and language mean nothing. The UN human rights and civil rights of freedom of expression and freedom of religion are not applicable to Asian Americans. We live and die quietly as if we never exist. That's the only way AA could possibly live to the old age. Teach your children not to be like those #BLM. We Asian Americans don't protest or care if other Asian Americans got slaughtered / murdered senselessly. We each just mind our business: eat, have sex, go to school, focus on work, and family. Whoever dies or whatever is none of our business. I love the non-violent way of life of Asian Americans. America will never face Asian Lives Matter like they do with #BLM
Your mandarin is more fluent than mine! I need to work harder! 💪🏼😆 Love your videos. I can feel your love for the world. How beautiful it would be if there’s no racism 😔 加油💪🏼
still dont know how to properly wear a mask.
I see that. It doesn't fit. There are some UA-cam V that show you how to fix that.
Is better improvement now, gentle reminder would be awesome
It is upside down. The wire or spine should be pinched on the nose. Mother wore it right.
And also maybe because shes is talking
@@japplesin you are right
4:35 that man said "you are so beautiful "
If your mask is too loose to wear, you could make a knot on the ear band.
i think you are wearing your mask upside down~~
雖然台灣用繁體字，但是繁體字很美的，而且一個字就是一個完整的意思，不會少筆劃😆
簡体字 是中國政府為了快速的教育 普及到全中國人民 而發展出來 簡化了繁体字 把難學堅難的中文字 變成簡單易學易記 才能快速的把一九四九年以後的中國人民 都快速的教育成識字有文化的進步人民...簡体字跟繁体字 大約差了三千多個不用的字而已 ..二個都有其优缺點...各有所長..
我是新加坡人，也靠自學能力學繁體字，雖然天天都在打繁體字但還是學不出來，寫出來統統變簡體字😂 繁體字最美，也更容易表達意思❤
不要抱残守缺了吧，如果社会不进步，还是甲骨文吧。简体字是为了普及文化教育，提高大陆人员的文明进步才改革的。
我們從小學習，也是學習繁體字，並沒有因為字體繁瑣，所以就減少筆劃什麼的，而且我們也是靠著一遍一遍寫練習本才學會的，並沒有我們天生比較聰明或人口數比較少才可以全部都學會，也許不同國家的政府，會有不同的考量，我也只是想強調繁體字是比較能夠一看就知道它們是在表達什麼意思，而且一個字就像一幅畫很美，很有寓意
而且減少筆劃跟文化進步扯不上什麼關係吧
說是普及及提高文化，其實就是覺得老百姓學得慢，可能學不起來或人不想學，才要大家學簡體吧
@@AnnabelleNextChill 加油💪，一定會學會的，我們以前在學繁體字都是寫練習簿會的

Amazing language skill! Your Mandarin is more accurate and fluent than mine.
JJ, you're amazing.
And, oh, I forgot to tell you that my mother is Norwegian, though, but I do have another mother figure, this lady speaks Finnish with me.
Hi Jillian, I am so happy to know that you are a New Yorker. It is always a great honor and a pleasant feeling to see someone with a different nationality to speak another language so well. I am very proud of you and hope to meet with you on the street in NYC someday! 😊
After Cantonese and Mandarin, the next most spoken dialect in NYC Chinatown is 福州話, a 閩東 dialect that has some similarities with Taiwan's 閩南話.
Also, many Cantonese speakers also speak a variant of 四邑Cantonese such as 台山話. These Cantonese variants are mutually intelligible with each other.
Lastly, there's 溫州話 from 浙江.
Although there are hundreds of Chinese dialects, these few dialects probably make up over 90% of Chinese spoken by all individuals in NYC Chinatown.
As for Romanization, unlike Pinyin, some Cantonese Romanization is just made up by the individuals. What's interesting is that in Chinatown, you can still see old 漢化 (Sinonization?) method using 台山話. For example, Manhattan = 文鐵吾 instead of 曼哈頓。
you mean Hookien
@@jonyao76 Hookien is the Romanization name of the province 福建 in its local dialects. I know a lot of people callls 閩南話 福建話, but as both 廈門 and 福州 are in 福建, technically speaking, 福州話 is also a type of 福建話 Hookien. With that said, 閩南話 and 福州話 are properly better terms to use to avoid confusion between the 2.
Why does your mask keep falling off... is it upside down?😂
Wow, so awesome that you and your mom both can speak mandarin so well and you’re so supportive of the Chinese community in NYC. Prior to the pandemic, I would go up to Chinatown for the soup dumplings! Thanks for being open and generous people using your channel in support of the Chinese community. As some of the other commentators stated, these days most of the immigrants are from Fujian province. The old Cantonese immigrants; their kids have already grown up to be professionals (doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, etc.) leaving the family restaurant business behind. It’s a new wave of Chinese immigrants now. Very interesting to see how things change from generation to generation.

Im not sure i understand the mask chat at the start. It needs to be over the bridge of your nose, it's designed to cover your respiratory system in it's entirely. Also when it's on properly you are perfectly audible. Just a heads up.
Remember to wear the mask with the wire being at the top and to pinch your nose so it is tight and secure. If you don't do that then it ruins the effect of the mask and you may as well not be wearing it if everything can still get in haha. Love your videos, I have started using italki thanks to your suggestion to improve my mandarin as well!
Stay safe and take care!x
感谢博主～吃好喝好玩好～每天开心就好～Be happy everyday！
It's great to see people like you that still like Chinese culture and speaks Mandarin especially in this pandemic where most people are racist towards Asians. You guys speak fluent mandarin. I'm overseas Chinese, I studied in China for 6 years before coming back home
she putting her hand on the mask and the mask slipping, wow i'm in agony
There are many native English speakers/Americans who don't bother learning the local language when they live in Asian countries, because they (feel they) can get by without learning the language. I also kind of got the impression they take it for granted that the Asians there speak English, even though English is not the official language in that Asian country. I have much respect for you. You seem to speak Chinese fluently. It must have taken a lot of work and time to learn.
Totally agree with you! Just one remark, I think English is an official language in Singapore and The Philippines (maybe Malaysia and HK too?)
Amazing you speak better Chinese than me. Love your mom very cute together.
If this is truth, they speak better than you, you must be a moron
I wanted to watch this but watching her mask is so infuriating. Even if it’s upside down surely you would ensure that your nose is always covered?? Why does this girl have a platform if she can’t even show basic safety measures to her subscribers
I loved this! Your mask is upside down, though.😁
Wow. That really fluent mandarin. Nice.
P.s. Chiangmai is a part of Thailand .
Good chinese, good vocabulary..
But the accent n pronunciation is not on point when speaking too fast..
Its better to speak slower to practised & pay attn to it..
Instead of speaking at regular speed, where the mistake is compounded..
OMG YOUR MOM KNOWS MANDARIN TOO!?!?!? (SHOOOOK. btw im new to this channel!!!)
Unfortunately the mask under the nose kept distracting me a lot ahahaha 😭😭😭 awesome vid as always though!
it goes over your nose
yup, Manhattan Chinatown is mostly dominated by Cantonese people that speaks Toisan, Brooklyn Chinatown is mostly dominated by Chinese people from Fuzhou, and Flushing Chinatown is a bit of mix of People from Shanghai, Sichuan, Taiwan, and Korea.
1:09 I'm pretty sure that dialect was what my mum used to speak to my family in China, I don't know what it's called but it sounded really familiar

The mandarin that is being considered as the official language by all chinese was actually how non chinese rulers such as the mongols n the manchurian would speak the han chinese language...but since they were ruling class, their altaic accented pronunciation became official pronunciation of the chinese language. Most chinese probably dont even know this fact.
No I knew it
Right.

I think lucas lim is referring to Mainland Chinese, whom probable DON'T KNOW that the Mandarin Dialect contains

@@maggiechan33 any prounuciation has its process of revolution，mandarin is known as North Dialect.But for most southern young people,they learn both local pronunciation and mandarin.
If I'm not wrong, the schools in the PRC teach children from young to pronounce each of the Yin. Taiwan on the other hand, and many other Asian countries that speak Mandarin, don't really care about pronunciation, as long as the listeners are able to understand what you are saying.
They speak fokinese because over 500000 Chinese smuggled from China within 30 years to New York City. Then Fokinese are spreading all over the USA. Most of take out restaurants are opened by them. Their next generation is born in the USA and making alot of money. However they still speaking Fokinese.

Could you please pull the mask all the way up along your nose to almost between your eyes? And then press the metal bar on the top of the mask so the shape fits your nose. And then pull the bottom part of the mask so that it covers your chin. That should help the mask sits properly on your face while you talk. It makes me so uncomfortable that your nose is out and you keep touching the surface of the mask.
The mask is upside down and your nose is hanging out. Absolutely useless

I just love the large portion of Chinese restaurants give to their customers, unlike in the UK, everything is small and expensive. I remember went to a restaurant for a quick bite some time ago in New York, ordered a starter and a main, I was surprised how big portion it was. I was full before I even finished the starter, had to ask for the waiter to take away for the main.
I always think that white girls who can speak Mandarin with perfect accent are hot.
most of the chinese in chinatown were from 台山(a city of 江门, and 江门 is a city in Guangdong province. yup, a city in a city......). so they were probably speaking taishanese, a sub-dialect of cantonese. and i'm kinda from 江门 as well.
ye the older generation ~but i dont think there are much taishanese left in nyc chinatown most of em are gone like my counsin's grandparents
