    Hello friends,
    I hope you have been doing well! As you all know, I've been going through a little bit of a creative rut so this video is definitely on the experimental side for me. Not only did I want to share more of my culture with you, but it was also extremely refreshing and fun for me to film. Hope you enjoy!
    xx,

    This was such a fun video!! I always admired (and envied) the people I grew up with who spoke another language at home. I wasn't introduced to learning a second language until high school and that was such a struggle. I still struggle with learning other languages. I feel like it's so much more beneficial to learn multiple languages from a young age. Side note: I'm also going to be practicing how to say "go eat poop" in Cantonese haha

    • @juliafei
      @juliafei  Рік тому

      Yes definitely big props to my parents for keeping the house English free 😂 I’m struggling to relearn French these days but I’m hopeful that with time it will get better so hopefully you’re not discouraged to learn a new language ❤

    I’m not bilingual, but if I were, it would be Swedish or Norwegian. I do study common phrases before I travel to countries for whom English is a second language, if spoken. I think that is fun, and I just use a couple of the free apps. It’s so nice that your parents speak Cantonese at home and you also have some knowledge of Mandarin. My college Swedish was a fail; all I can remember is how to say I love you

    For someone who grew up in the US, I think that your Chinese is very good. There is definitely a light American accent to your Cantonese, but it is mild compared to most people who didn't grow up in Hong Kong or Guangzhou. The Cantonese accent is notoriously hard to learn for non-natives.
