      I guess he thinks we're all as dumb as a box rocks. The supposedly left hand version nothing but this same video but he's flipped the image.

    • @LeesRandomVids
      @LeesRandomVids  5 років тому +42

      I made no secret of this. In-fact not only does it say so in the description, and why, I also literally showed the screen being flipped at 14 seconds in. It makes no difference, the outcome is exactly the same, ie it makes it easier for left handed people to follow.

      one time, I was at a Korean restaurant and they only gave us chopsticks and I didn't know how to use them. it was embarrassing for an Asian to ask for a fork.

How awesome is that. I didn’t have any toffee or caramel popcorn, so I figured chocolate covered raisins would be good practice. Thank you so much!

      @LeesRandomVids  2 роки тому

      That's excellent. I'm really glad it helped. Chocolate raisins is another brilliant snack for practice (and very yummy, I love them haha). That's the idea, doesn't really matter so much what the snack is as long as it's something u enjoy, so the practice will be enjoyable, as to learn them it's basically just practice. Enjoy using them in the future! 😃👍

      Thank you. Well this is technically the 'correct' way to use them but I'm of the opinion if you can already use them a different way then you're fine, native users use them all different ways too. Unless you're wanting to learn the 'correct' method, thats up to you. :) I like your channel btw! Very well made videos, those puppies in Cambodia, I'd want to care for them too!!!

      Yeah it will for some at first, its practice.. practice practice and more practice. I know it seemed daft but the popcorn trick really works. The best thing to learn is to get some small food, like popcorn or anything and eat the lot using them, even if it takes u ages. I'd never used chopsticks before, then when I was away on holiday with friends outside a restaurant I ordered a fried rice dish and got chopsticks. I struggled but persisted and eventually ate it all with them... it took me ages and the food was completely cold by the time I finished and my hand was killing me but from then on I was able to use them and I got better the more times I used them. Grab yourself some popcorn or something and put a movie on and eat the lot using them, just keep practicing!!! Good luck! :D

      It's because you should be bracing it not on top of the ring finger, but you should be using the ring finger for extra stability with that stick. So instead of placing it near the knuckle of the ring finger like he shows in the video, you should be placing it at the tip and you will notice a lot more control and you will have extra grip strength available with your stick use as well. Since you are not used to it yet you will still notice that your hand will cramp with use because you are doing a maneuver you rarely do. But over time if you use it a lot you will notice it becoming much easier.

    The popcorn and peanut trick is amazing, not only you're practicing how to use chopsticks properly, but you're also enjoying something delicious and thus motivating yourself even more.

      Asian's just eat rice as practice but in reality you're just eating food.
      It's like the secret to being a good basketball player is...
      playing more basketball.

    Why I feel the need to sit on my bedroom floor and learn how to use chopsticks at 12:45 in the morning is beyond me, but it's kinda fun. This video made so much sense, idk why it's taken so many years to click in my brain on how to use chopsticks but now that it has I'm so excited to use them. 😆

      It's normal, it was the same for me at first too. It just takes practice, the tip about practising with snacks helps a lot. Good luck!

      @@MF-ie7vx same. It allows me to use a bit more force and pick up heavier things too. Might not be the "right" way, but if it works it works. 👌
