Can't believe the patience these blessed people have. "It helps to use my hands" and" I was already to you!" So many fun reactions from each person, including you. This was fun!
I like this. It actually showed me that the Chinese teachers actually have good advice for students and they don’t want them to be discouraged. They want to show them slowly and diligently. Very professional
Yes china is not very multicultural in comparison to the west, and rarely are foreigners born and raised there so, its not often they find white people speaking their language which unless you are specifically interested in china is not very useful when compared to English which is more globally used for communication and business. and with the amount of asians born in western countries plus them learning english in primary school where we would learn french or spanish typically, well its not a shock to see asians speaking english.
I'm sorry if you have had that experience. English is my first language, and I think it's awesome to meet people who have learned English as a second language. I'm glad you're a part of our language community.
Auron has the right answer here. I would also add, if we're being totally honest with ourselves-English is just a much easier language. The difference in reactions seems pretty justified to me? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@MichaelBeale that's very debatable, this seems to me like a fish don't know they're in water situation. The things that make languages easy or hard to learn depend a lot on what languages you already speak; Generally speaking the closer the language is to you native language (or any language you speak), the easier it would be to learn. So if you're a dutch or spanish speaker, english isn't gonna be the hardest language out there, but for speakers of non indo-european languages english isn't that much easier than mandarin is to us. Obviously this is not the only factor, but having learned mandarin I don't find that it's that much harder than english, both are very analytic languages, which means it lacks the sorts of grammatical inflections and irregularities that trip people up so much in synthetic languages. In addition the writing system isn't as hard as people make it out to be, it doesn't feel that much more different than just learning vocab in any other language, you just learn the characters as you go. It is still hard and has an extra layer of memorization (at least at first), but I don't think the challenge it presents is that different from the challenge of learning the obtuse spelling system in english.
Well , to be fair , decades of exchange students were China going to US colleges , not the other way around , only recently has China given incentive for learning the language and actually going to that shithole lol , won’t take long to catch up , the we will probably say the same thing 40 yrs from now

@@Monkeyabroad you're just so much better than that, man. Westerners are marginalized and subsequently tokenized all over Asia, and your "White guy speaking Chinese" videos play right into that.

No, Kevin, it was brilliant that you told them your Chinese improved after drinking coffee. I wish I can say the same and despite drinking many cups I am still on first base. Wow, good of them to play along as after a few minutes they sensed that something was not quite right.
As someone who is learning HSK 4 rn and already went through a lot of this, I very much enjoyed the video. A little bit of cringe at the start but all good.
Hey, just wanted to say that your content is still great & entertaining and has always been so. No idea what has happened to the view number recently, but I hope it doesn’t demotivate you and stuff. Thank you and keep up the great job! :)
Thank you for the kind words. This video has potential to reach a bigger audience, cuz I’ve tailored it for the algorithm; I’ll check back after a few weeks to see if it’s been recommended in the right circles, because I don’t see my current audience appreciating the cringe of this type of video.
That was funny!!! The last part of the dancing thing i don't get it... inside joke?... need to watch more videos to understand.. LOL!. Great video, you make me laugh.
it's from a movie. A guy called burney/bernie I'm not sure how it is spelled, he basically only moves when music places. He just dances with his eyes closed.They were mimicking his dancing style.
Thanks for posting here again. I really enjoy most of your videos. I also like how you share how you have developed. Like most of us guys we like the girls in your videos also. You have really good quality videos also. Thanks again.
so great your chats with Chinese people i am intermediate Chinese level and looking at the teachers they are all good but teacher dora her teaching style will definitely work with me i pronounce excactly like you but have epic time with 汉字😇😇😇😇

Wow you speak the international language of the world that everyone knows. That is taught to all Chinese kids as early as 5 years old. He speaks a language only China and Taiwan speak which no one hears outside of Asia that is never taught to children outside Asia.
@@DragonBornESVI no one hears outside of Asia? No Chinese schools outside Asia? Slight exaggeration don't you think? No offense, but you need to get out more

@@Ikgeloofhetniet Some people said @ international airport in Taiwan, they heard white men exchanging information where to find young ladies ( at night clubs etc ). I don't think those white men just want to teach English.
If you were telling them you wanted to learn their language in a week . you should have played it off until the 3rd day . Then say you studied very hard and then slowly start to speak more fluently . Then say you finally got it because your such a good teacher .

Very good the lady got surprised instantly by student acceleration in learning by coffee.
Gotta admit... Its always a pretty solid flex when you burst out fluently talking a language amongst native speakers who aren't half expecting you to.
Title should be Cristiano Ronaldo trying to learn Chinese 😂
hahaha
Lol
He struggle with his own mother tongue
Omg this was amazing. They were good sports!

Home run is 全垒打 and shortstop is 游击手
