    Today let’s dive into the Chinese Tik Tok - 抖音DOUYIN, and see how well the non-native Chinese speakers can use Mandarin and even some Chinese dialects on the short video platform used by tens of millions of Chinese natives!
    More importantly, what techniques and methods can we learn from them?
    In this video, I picked 5 of the expats in China from the US and Latvia, talking about:
    00:00 Douyin
    00:55 Chinese Debater
    4:02 Chinese Host
    6:03 Beijing Teenager
    8:17 Beijing Grandpa
    10:50 Dongbei Grandpa

    I love this! The male actor, I love his trick. I'm learning Korean right now (not Chinese), but I find that I hold on to words better when I practice saying them using a movement. For example, if I'm saying "eat" in Korean, I mimic spooning something into my mouth. Then, if I'm looking for the word and it doesn't come right away, I do the motion and remember it immediately. These kinds of tricks work!

    • @leogeek

      Yes, as Chinese, I was surprised a foreigner can discover sometimes we will do some actions, even Chinese are not aware of this behavior pattern, mostly head or hand motions to comply with the tones, especially the third tone or forth tone. Of cause it's not to represent the tone, it's to represent your emotion. The guy is so smart to find this trick!

(I still can't hear the difference between the "s,c,z" sounds after nearly 2 years of trying - that's how bad I am!) I just found it too difficult.

    The first girl in the video had time to prepare her speech, as they all do for that portion of the show 奇葩说. But when that show got to the part where they had to think on the fly she didn't perform so well. It's also possible that people voted for her to win simply because she was a foreigner and was speaking chinese. Chinese people, in my experience, are pretty condescending when foreigners speak chinese well. I have been told by Chinese people that Chinese is the hardest language to learn (not true). Because of that the fact that they are impressed also implies most foreigners don't have the mental capacity to learn the language. If you can do it, so can anyone else. We are both human, after all.

    She only made a glaring (「超明顯的」)minor mistake throughout the rebuttal (反駁)
    2:01 這就是它的「珍貴」之處。 昂貴 refers to things being expensive. Things that are 「珍貴」 may be priceless 「無價」。This is more appropriate because she is talking about a really abstract concept of "giving sense of security" as if I'm getting a service experience in restaurant「(在餐廳裡,撇除實質餐飲的)服務體驗」。

    I think in fact you’ll find there are more foreigners today that have good Chinese because they grew up in China (though this won’t be stated). It is rumored that Dashan grew up in China until he was twelve.

      Hahaha I've never heard that before! As far as the younger generation, there are definitely already hundreds (thousands?) of foreigners who grew up in China and speak pretty much just like a native. I'm sure they'll start making their way on to social media as content creators in the coming years! 👏😄

    Just one small "false logic" statement you've made: just because speaking proper Chinese is difficult to native Chinese speakers doesn't mean it is for foreigners learning the language, even quite the opposite. When you start from scratch, either variant is as difficult as the other, but the proper formal form has a lot more material available for people to learn.
    In my native language, I'm always a lot more impressed if people can speak perfectly smooth street talk than if they speaked in the formal "newsbroadcast" register, that natives struggle a little bit with.

    • @verybarebones
      @verybarebones 3 роки тому +9

      That's fair for people who learned in a classroom setting, but at higher levels, when you're actually learning by immersion, the casual register becomes much easier and it's easy to mess up the more formal stuff. I'm an ESL speaker and while I learned with the formal register now that I have to deal with more technical stuff casual "street" talk is def easier.

      Proper Chinese is hard though, because China is very big. There are a lot of dialects there and some are very different and for example, Beijing (Peking) is the capital of China. In Beijing they actually don’t speak correctly pronounced Manderin Chinese but with a Beijing accent (One big thing is that they’ll add an “er” behind a word. Studying formal manderin or other dialects in China is pretty hard like another “language” but with the same writings.) Studying broadcast in China is very hard too, and everything they read has to be in time and it also can’t be too fast. Any pronunciation has to be correct there, while I really struggle with that. If I read 四是四,十是十。十四是十四,四十是四十。I struggle with the si and shi (there are 2 shi with different ig accent on in or how you call that.) I don’t pronounce that “h” that is like rolling your tongue while pronouncing the “s”? Also street language is easy for someone if they don’t learn proper language on school but be on social media or friends. You don’t say things the right way and everything you say is actually good in street language though. I don’t speak street language well because I don’t have many friends nor I learn proper language in school because I speak multiple languages (atm 6 but it’ll be more I think 🥲) Also sometimes at home when I am talking to someone, some of my sentences will have 3 languages in it lol. Ok I’ll stop writing now bc it’s too long bye

    ALSO, I get an impression, that the Chinese language is for me easier to pronounce than German. I was surprised and was wondering, why is that? My native language is Polish, so it's a slavic language, does not have much in common with Chinese. I can easily pronounce English, of course it's not perfect and I switch between British and American accents, and German belongs to the same language family as English, but it is sharp in pronunciation. I am wondering, why English is easy and German is not? I am also wondering if the musical hearing or absolute pitch have something in common with that. I don't know much about languages, but I get the impression, that some of them are more "melodious" than others. For example Russian seems to me like someone was singing, I get the similar impression with Chinese. Hearing someone speaking those languages is pleasant to me. Chinese is the tonal language, so it makes sense, but Russian is not, but yet seems "melodious".

      Guten Morgen/Good morning
      Gute Nacht/Good night.
      ("Gut" is "good" without any articles afterwards and is pronounced extremely similar to if the English word "good" didn't ignore the pronunciation rules for "oo" that typically makes a "oo" sound like it does in the word "moose". Because it's a soft "t" as well, meaning it sounds similar to a "d". It's basically the same word spelled different but English strayed from Germanic pronunciation so now our word "good" breaks the "oo" rules and sounds like "gud")
      Ich habe Hunger/I'm hungry (literal translation "I have hunger")
      The words for "house" and "mouse" are literally the exact same word when spoken. The German spellings are "Haus" und "Maus"
      "And" is "und"
      "is" is "ist"
      "Fish" and "Cat" are "Fisch" und "Katze"
      And my personal all time favorite funny word, "Fledermaus": English "bat" (the animal) and the literal translation to English is: "flutter-mouse" 😂
      If German is hard to pronounce but English isn't for someone, it's probably because whatever language they came from is more similar to the ways English has strayed from Germanic pronunciation because, as a native English speaker I find them overwhelmingly similar.
