Pok Gai hom ga chaan, means drop dead and your entire family also dies as well in Cantonese. That actor who talks to Keanu is James Hong is an ABC. He is born in Minneapolis and his ancestry is Cantonese.
It was very awkward to hear them both speak mandarin to each other. Sounded so unnatural. Would have been better for them to speak cantonese to each other.
Just a fun fact. The Cantonese term Hum (Whole) Kar (Family) Charn (slaughter), was the worst thing you want to hear from coming from emperor. It meant your family clan or lineage would be titally wiped out. Same goes for Keanu, when he says it, John Wick will wipe out your entire family, to cut the grass, you need to get rid of its roots. 😂😂😂
Most Westerners tend to speak Mandarin with some Cantonese accent with strong tonal sounds where Cantonese have 7 and Mandarin only has 4. This is because they were influenced by their tv and media from the old days till now because Hollywood and others don't know what Chinese sounds like in China and as such picked up the sounds of the Chinese language in Chinatowns where many overseas Chinese are mainly Cantonese.
This was really interesting not that i am a chinese learner nor do i want to learn chinese but this was in my recommended and it was worth watching, but out of all actors that can speak chinese, you forgot John Cena or in chinese Zhong Xina ahahaha still, very good content.
You are quite strict, haha. I would switch Amy and Tom, though. Rosamund sounds excellent! Tom's sentence is short, but the pronunciation and tone is quite correct. Keanu is like, "most foreign actors in Chinese dramas speak like this"
Read, write, use spaced repetition, flashcards. Follow the HSK levels, most learning resources are focused around that standard and it'll give you an idea of how much you should know at each level. Build a general foundation and then use language exchanges or tutors to practise speaking. Speaking is one of the most vital steps because it forces you to expand your active vocabulary, which is the essence of language understanding. This is the backbone of language learning, how you perform each step is individualised. Just avoid learning from textbooks.
First learn the basics with text books, flash cards and a teacher. Then get into an environment where you are forced to use it. I.e. go to China or Taiwan for like 6 months to a year.
These rankings are insane you guys can barely speak chinese yourselves. Like none of these people came even close to speaking natural sounding chinese.
Keanu Reeves’s grandmother is and speaks Cantonese, and spoke Cantonese to him when he was young, that’s why he speaks better Cantonese.
Ahh, makes sense 👍
Bet he heard that bit of dialogue from Granny often!

Rosamund Pike and Robie Uniacke have two sons, both fluent in Mandarin.
This was fun again. These guys have good chemistry. I hope someday my mandarin is as good as theirs
🙏🙏
Rosamund Pike definitely sounded the best. Her pronunciation was pretty close. And I learned a new Chinese expression from China!

Although Loki's line was short, it was pretty good. The pronunciation and tone actually sounded better than Keanu Reeves.
I think within China, there are also regional pronunciation and tone differences in spoken Mandarin.
There are! 😁
Absolutely
Yup. For example, Taiwanese Mandarin sounds distinctively different from Beijing Mandarin.
I’ve been waiting for this lol
😎👍
她的發音是“憑借”，可能是字幕顯示成“憑著”。意思是一樣的。
她的发音是“凭借”，可能是字幕显示成“凭着”。意思是一样的。
可是我覺得她的發音比較接近 ping qie 不是 ping jie
@learnchinesenow 你说的对。她发音像ping qie
It is the sloooooowwwww speed that separates the native speakers from the wannabes.
I'm first 😂 i don't know much Chinese but this is definitely a good channel. Keep it up 🎉
🙏
😂😂😂 great job 🎉. Learn Chinese is a ❤loving experience

Please do a grading of the contestants for the Chinese Bridge competition.
Fun Fact: Rosamund Pike's son won that.
6:49 that sounded like a normal, natural southern Chinese/Canto accent
Has Mira Sorvino been considered?
Just love you guys. Thank you entertaining absolutely 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
That was better than Keanu's English accent.🤣
This was really interesting not that i am a chinese learner nor do i want to learn chinese but this was in my recommended and it was worth watching, but out of all actors that can speak chinese, you forgot John Cena or in chinese Zhong Xina ahahaha still, very good content.
Check out part one, we have John Cena in there.
@@learnchinesenow Yeah checked it, interesting, keep it up.
Eric Bana好像是在說「吃得消你的再蒸？」. Complete nonsense and jibberish.
You are quite strict, haha. I would switch Amy and Tom, though.
Rosamund sounds excellent!
Tom's sentence is short, but the pronunciation and tone is quite correct.
Keanu is like, "most foreign actors in Chinese dramas speak like this"
Do the Mandarin Chinese lines in 3 Body Problem next!
she said 憑藉 quite right but not for the whole sentence.
Sounded like ping qie to me
u in red book teaching "refugee" Chinese?
難民 nàn mín = Refugee
this channel is a Falun Gong cult, the people of China (and Asia) reject these fascist cults.
I think John Cena speaks better mandarin than all of them.
No, we rated him the one above trainwreck in part one
What is the best way for someone to truly learn Chinese? ps for an average person.
Date a chinese lady from China.

Get your tones right. Even if you butcher the pronunciation and the grammar, you’d still impress me if you can master the tones.
@@learnchinesenow Any recommendations for textbooks?
14:34 maybe something something 你的再见？
Yeah something like that, although that also doesn’t make sense
He didn't say 再见 there was a nasal final "ng" jiáng
虽然你们的节目很不错，但是你们下面推荐的神韵歌舞团是不太受中国人欢迎的。希望你们耗子尾汁。
不受共產黨的歡迎，沒錯。可是很多中國人看了神韻就掉眼淚，在舞台上看到共產黨試圖破壞的5000年文化。
@@learnchinesenowno, its actually associated with falun gong, which is a cult, not real Chinese culture
@@learnchinesenow 对不起你根本不懂中国
Why are you mewing in the thumbnail 😆
To me, they r good enuf but rosamund is d winner
What a disappointment to hear you promoting Shen Yen at the end
Why a disappointment? Its a great show, have you seen it?
Read this and blocked this channel immediately.

Shen yen is terrorist organization.. do you promote terrorism.
