You have such a weird accent when you speak English lol. You are constantly changing from English accent to American and then back to English every other sentence, some of the words you actually sound Australian too. Are you aware of this or is this just your natural flow?
I can understand this. I don't have a proper English accent as well, being a non-native speaker who learnt English through exposure to people from different nations.
still chan You can't really understand cantonese if you're a mandarin speaker. It's like you're an english speaker who are listening in German. There's a scientific topic about that.
Omg this is so relatable, I have so many videos of my Cantonese accent when I was younger. It's really suprising how your Cantonese is still so on point while managing your other languages. I know 3 languages but sometimes I can't express myself without having to add a few words from another language.
Cantonese can only be considered a dialect, and it's different from Mandarin, which is like another dialect. Cantonese and Mandarin are both Chinese. These are common sense.
Cantonese accent should be distinguished from Chinese accent, I know it is not rigorous, but when people say Chinese, they intend to refer to Mandarin rather than Cantonese.
Because I am Chinese. To us, Mandarin is a language rather than a dialect. Although my hometown has its own dialect we are required to learn Mandarin in elementary school and our teachers are required to teach only in Mandarin. That's why Mandarin is understood across the whole mainland of China including Guangdong province - the only province in the mainland of China where most people speak Cantonese. When I visited there, they had no trouble understanding and speaking Mandarin to me.
LLL0966 But as the other person said, it's because Mandarin is the official language of the country, so you are required to learn it in school even if you primarily speak Cantonese at home.
ghost_curse There are about 270 dialects in China. Cantonese is just one of them. There are 23 provinces in China, Cantonese is spoken only in one of them plus Hong Kong. I'm not from either place, meaning I don't know a single word in Cantonese.
that was such a funny video! I find your childhood quite similar to mine, but rather than english being the problem, spanish was the one with the chinese accent lol. I was born in the US but raised my whole life in south america lol and since I used to only speak to my parents in chinese as a youngster my spanish got jinxed lol... but its all good now!
I was raised in a Cantonese family in mainland China, the education system discouraged us from speaking Cantonese so my Mom had to force me into speaking Cantonese at home. I'm still trying to improve my Cantonese and that's why im here lol
Hello J Lou, I'm very happy to discover you as a person. I'm Half French/Chinese, my mom is from HongKong. I speak French, Cantonese, English, Mandarin, Spanish like you. I get the same reactions about my languages skills and my appearance. :)
I recently found your channel, and I am so entertained by all your videos! I also speak Cantonese and English, and having you speak Cantonese really helps improve Cantonese as well, and its not too hard to understand :)
I used to go to a local school in Hong Kong as well, always spoke Cantonese, watched everything in Cantonese until Year 6. I went to an international school by ESF and studied IB. Couple years ago I finished my master's degree in Global Business Management and Marketing in New Zealand.
I love your Canto vids because it really helps me improve on my Cantonese! I'm from Canada but my parents speak Cantonese and Vietnamese, this really gives me hope to work on it :)
So fun to watch you speak so fast in Cantonese, then back to English. I was made in Hong Kong, exported to Perú, and imported to the US. I also took 3 years of French and at home we switch back and forth between English, Cantonese, and Spanish. It's fun. Would be fun to have a conversation with you.
2:53 I also loved watching TV when I was young. I know that there was Millionaire on ATV in 2002, while TVB had cartoons. I would like to hear more about the TV Schedule at that time. Hope to hear you~ A Vietnamese and Hong Kong TV Fan
I'm half chinese and half german and in shanghai i was going to an english kindergarten which is why i talked 3 languages at the same time and mixing everything togheter so my parents could hardly understand
When I have a kid one day has to be like you! I'm Chinese born and raised in South America. At one point I learned Cantonese through my mom and the rest of the family Toisanese but as I got older, I just started speaking Spanish with my siblings and barely Chinese. When I moved to the US I learned English when I was a teenager and improved my Cantonese, but it's till bad though. I actually wanted to learn French and ended learning some Italian lol. I will still try ...
You kinda have to take into account that she's born is hongkong. Cantonese is very common there. Personally it took me like quite a while to get used to speaking cantonese (my mom felt like cantonese is a very rough language due to the swears.) to learn you gotta dare to speak it. That's the only advice I can give you
Haha..very cute! I missed speaking Cantonese, haven't spoken it for 30 years and now I am re-learning it all over again. I still have the Cantonese accent while speaking English. I am from Hong Kong originally, came to the States back in 1985. I did not have anyone to speak Cantonese with so I gradually lost most of my Cantonese. I do plan on moving back to H.K in the future. Right now I am trying to remember Cantonese by watching TVB online, as well as Chinese drama for Mandarin. Cheers!
Glad to find you on here. I am actually trying to learn Spanish on my own right now. I was born in HK and lived there for 12 years, and have been in the US for 15 years. I got the American accent while speaking Cantonese and Mandarin without any funny ABC accent. Your videos just gave me extra motivation! Thanks for posting and looking forward to your future videos!
Not sure if it was the video quality or because of your "Chinese accent" back then but I could not understand anything you were saying, as a native English speaker, without the subtitles. Your English has definitely improved by a long shot (kinda find your mixing of English and American accents interesting). But watching the difference between then and now really encourages me to try to learn languages like Korean and Chinese. I've always wanted to be able to truly understand what they're saying. Any tips (especially with the Chinese writing system) to make the process easier?
Really I think the opposite tbh I prefer the sound of Mandarin it sounds better to me and I prefer the flow of it,, probably because I’ve been around Cantonese my life.
I prefer mandarin but maybe it's because that's what I'm used to. I tried learning mandarin (I'm not Chinese) but it's just so difficult. Maybe one day I will
my mum mother tongue is Cantonese, my English is bad but I understand what you say, I think my listening skills will improve if I watch more your videos.
Hi Lou! I'm from the US! Nice to meet you. Me and my husband are Chinese but we always speak English at home and our son only knows a bit of Chinese but he's not able to carry on a sentence. We tried speaking in Chinese but he just got frustrated that he couldn't understand. Is there any tips ? My son is almost 6 (:
I started to rebel against my parents around 6 or 7 and refused to speak Chinese but my parents started to ignore me when I spoke English. I slowly gave up and spoke Chinese again. Make your child watch Chinese tv shows or anime for me I loved watching Stephen chow movies
Keep speaking Chinese to your son at home. Let him speak English at school. l grew up with parents speaking Cantonese only in Malaysia. When he grows up he will be fluent in both language. l also speak Malay from school.
this is a good opportunity to send your son to Chinese school in USA or to China to go to grade 1 and grade 2 after that he can come back to USA and know Chinese. but since sending him to china is costly so just send him to Chinese school. its a place where they teach kids born in america Chinese . this is a key opportunity because your son is young and is very capable of learning new languages very fast. there pronunciation is very good . Chinese school is a good way of teaching him Chinese. Chinese school is after school. there should be something like this by your area you just need to find one. theres so much immigration but many kids born to immigrants don't know there native mother tougue but some do know but lack the skills to write and read their language. I was born to Chinese parents but we didn't live in china. my parents didn't really care about my Chinese so I never went to any Chinese school. I know how to speak basic Chinese as my parents spoke mainly Chinese at home. I don't know how to write or read Chinese. I don't like how so many kids born to immigrant parents can't read or write their own language most of them know how to speak it. since your kid is very young you need to ensure he knows his language very well. if you wait any longer its only going to get harder for him to learn it. I now take Chinese courses at school and its hard learning my language but I'm willing to learn it no matter the difficulty. you as parents need to start speaking more Chinese to him so he can get use to the tones and sounds. over time your sons Chinese will improve.
I know a Taiwanese girl who was raised in Panama by Spanish speaking nanny which made her Spanish as her first language. When she went to college in us, she threw everybody off with her English with Spanish accent and she's Asian. So unique.
This is the first time seeing your video and i am surprised at your fluency in "American" English as well as your Cantonese. The people that I know either have one or the other but rarely both.
Will ya' teach French in the coming videos? Sooo much looking forward to it ! Learnt Spanish Italian online (just for vocab/ simple sentences !coz it's so much easier!) But FR is always the most difficult among these lang including Mandarin and English! P.s. My mother tongue is Cantonese too!
It is so cool to see your video ! My dad is from HK, my mom from China and I was born in France and I am learning English, Spanish and Russian 😂 It is really funny when you are changing languages i am happy to understand 😂
@@KonfidenceUA-cam *you're Yeah. Not THE most, but most of Us are. ;) She's right though, There's variety of accents in the Philippines. Some have hard accents, some too soft. Nothing wrong with it. Everyone has different accents after all. 💁♀️
When the young you said "of course la" it reminds me of my Chinese teacher😂😂 He always says "la" or somewhat like that in the end of the sentence, and then my classmates started copying him and saying "WHAT YOU WANT LA?" "YOU KNOW DIS CHINESE LA" and its very annoying 😆😆
This might be a lil odd, when u have childrens, which dialect or language will u be wanting them to learn 1st? Or maybe their mother tongue will be which language? 🍻
I relate to this so much! In the past, I didn’t even enjoy reading in English! It was one fateful day in F.1 when I suddenly... “morphed” into speaking “in an American accent”? It was as though someone had switched on a button rooted deep inside me...🙈😂[ and I also relate with the Disney Channel thing on a personal level ouch ]
I lived in China and I’m still learning Chinese.Ive never crossed a chinese person who speaks as well as you.Your grammar and pronunciation is excellent.Lol and don’t be embarrassed about how you acted as a kid.All kids act like that.
Great as always ;) :) I love the way you switch between Cantonese and English :) Keep up the great work ;)by the way you have a very mixed accent...it sounds British,American and Australian at the same time 😎😎😎
When you said you were a TV fan when you were younger, did you watch American tv or tvb? Do you think your English accent got better because you started watching more English tv?
I'm an American living in HK and I'm learning Cantonese now. I could actually understand like 5% of what you said! Haha much better than the 0% I understood a few months ago.
This was such an interesting video! Growing up in Finland I started learning English in school at the age of 9. Now some people tell me I sound fluent, some people tell me I have an accent, but they think it's a German accent or something..
Dang, at least your confident enough to talk in canto to that many people I barely want to speak canto to my classmates cause I don’t know what to say when they say “speak in Chinese please!”
OMG, this is acc so so so relatable! I was born in India but moved to the UK when I was 4 so my accent was pretty messed up aha. My mother tongue was never fluent in the first place so when I started learning english too- it was disastrous. Everyone used to say I was speaking (manglish (half malayalam half english)). Now my accent is 'normal' according to my friends but I still get v self conscious about it lol. I think I might upload a similar video to this one but obvs will give u credit :) x New Sub
English is my second language. I speak English with Cantonese, British, American, Filipino and Singaporean/Malaysian accents as I learn the language under different environment.
Lol, Chinglish. I am half Viet and half Irish-Scottish and I learned Viet and English at the same time, so when I was little I had the Vietlish accent. Now my accent is American but I still speak Viet
Yes it is. What's the national anthem? Who's the general secretary? Exactly. Tibet is China, Manchuria is China, Xinjiang is China. Also Hong Kong people were still considered chinese even under British rule so..
Hk is under prc government no matter how much you want to distinguish these two by your preference or superiority of being colonized by England. That’s shame of you recognizing yourself as British, just like the pathetic black housekeeper guy in movie Django Unchained.
Beaucoup parlent les trois langues (français, Anglais et cantonnais) à Montréal. Mais, probablement certain personnes commenceront te parler en espagnol également. lol. Au début, j'ai croyais que tu étais une étudiante latino qui avait étudié en Chine. ha ha ha
you were hilarious and cute in your childhood lolol, i couldn't even tell what you were speaking in most until you explained. i relate, when i was younger i didn't really speak english well due to speaking my native language at home and with relatives, my brothers, parents... it was only around 3rd ish grade that i did. i still have a bit of a trip up on speaking at times and a slight slur, which i hate. it's not "crisp" enough if that makes any sense.
Your English is better than most Hongkongers! Thumbs up👍! I'm of Cantonese descent but the dialect is lost in my generation. We've basically westernized. You impress me a lot!
Ohhhh...even before, our dialect used to be community based like Haka, Hokkien...etc.. Even in Hong Kong, Cantonese is the main dialect and these more ancient community dialects are lost
You have such a weird accent when you speak English lol. You are constantly changing from English accent to American and then back to English every other sentence, some of the words you actually sound Australian too. Are you aware of this or is this just your natural flow?
Nop not aware haha I guess that's the result of switching languages all the time! And being in an international environment
So what nationality do you have the most affinity with?
Wade Kong A lot of international students in Hong Kong that I have come across have this weird mixture of American British and Australian accent
I came to this video to find out what your accent is and it makes sense if you're speaking so many different languages. 👌
I can understand this. I don't have a proper English accent as well, being a non-native speaker who learnt English through exposure to people from different nations.
I like your voice!💕so sweet 💕 and omg Cantonese is so difficult!!

I understand you and you are mean
Haha, your English accent - half American and half British - is like the indigenous Hong Kong invention, Yuen Yueng (half tea and half coffee) :)
I thought that was Singaporean (saw it my first time as Yuan Yang at a Yakun) - I had no idea it was from Hong Kong! You learn something every day!
@@lnhart7157 same... I'm from sg
You have the Singapore accent Cantonese , English and Chinese .

i wonder if her twin sister is taken..
I think she does plays two characters but does have a twin sister lol

我表妹細個二三歲果陣幾種語中英西班牙話一齊都唔知佢講咩，但係好好笑，好多有異國背景細個都係咁，哈哈，不過佢而家中英西班牙都好流利，後期重學埋日文普通話韓文👍🏻👍🏻
If there is any comfort, your Chinese now has this marvelous British/French accent. Awesome.
I think you said lei gor sei lui bao, you a dead girl bun XD
"Dong gu tou" omg so relatable. I don't know why our parents would give us that mushroom/bowl looking hair when we were younger
Hi I'm Chinese (Hong Kong)too!
Is she trying to roast herself? O-o your Chinese tho XD sound so good I'm in loooove😍
you look like min hyorin
Dang, at least your confident enough to talk in canto to that many people I barely want to speak canto to my classmates cause I don’t know what to say when they say “speak in Chinese please!”
Your accent as a child was what Hollywood would use when they have an Asian character
*yells at parents for not letting them watch tv*tv is dead now *screams “the StOrY of My LiFe”
I even needed to watch subtitles to understand what she said,it's a huge pronunciationdifference between Mandrin and Cantonese
I spoke just like you when i was a kid haha, watching this video was like watching me when I was younger
OMG, this is acc so so so relatable! I was born in India but moved to the UK when I was 4 so my accent was pretty messed up aha. My mother tongue was never fluent in the first place so when I started learning english too- it was disastrous. Everyone used to say I was speaking (manglish (half malayalam half english)). Now my accent is 'normal' according to my friends but I still get v self conscious about it lol. I think I might upload a similar video to this one but obvs will give u credit :) x

Yes please that would awesome and interesting
HAHAHA OMG "YES SIR YES SIR YES SIR" Just reminds me of every freaking HK police drama smh
btw.... i see... you suitable to be a presenter/host
English is my second language. I speak English with Cantonese, British, American, Filipino and Singaporean/Malaysian accents as I learn the language under different environment.
Lmao Have to Hab Filipinos 💕😂
"you dont let me watch da TV ha!" omg thats soo cute and funny!
And I'm curious about Hong Kong TV at that time :)
Damn you sounded just like "short round" as a kid.
So adorbs! And so lucky to have all these footage.
Your Canto is 🔥！
Hahahaha, you are actually laughing at yourself. So adorbs!
you are very pretty
omg your off shoulder shirt / dress (can't really tell) is so pretty in this video, mind if you tell me where you got it from?
I don’t have an accent
Anymore
😂
Lol, Chinglish. I am half Viet and half Irish-Scottish and I learned Viet and English at the same time, so when I was little I had the Vietlish accent. Now my accent is American but I still speak Viet
hk accent not chinese accent. came up in suggesstions. hk not prc.
人家title都是chinese accent，你这个皇上不急太监急。呵呵
Yes it is. What's the national anthem? Who's the general secretary? Exactly. Tibet is China, Manchuria is China, Xinjiang is China. Also Hong Kong people were still considered chinese even under British rule so..
swag peach what's that ?? National anthem and general secretly ? 皇帝和太监？
被英國淦完就升等啦 噁心
Hk is under prc government no matter how much you want to distinguish these two by your preference or superiority of being colonized by England. That’s shame of you recognizing yourself as British, just like the pathetic black housekeeper guy in movie Django Unchained.
Where/from who did you learn your English from? I always hear a slight British accent to it with some words, like can't
Salut, es-tu capable de converser en français? ton cantonais et ton anglais sont beaucoup meilleurs que moi.
+bibodude oui bien sûr 😇 je vais bientôt faire un vlog en français en fait
Beaucoup parlent les trois langues (français, Anglais et cantonnais) à Montréal. Mais, probablement certain personnes commenceront te parler en espagnol également. lol. Au début, j'ai croyais que tu étais une étudiante latino qui avait étudié en Chine. ha ha ha
you were hilarious and cute in your childhood lolol, i couldn't even tell what you were speaking in most until you explained. i relate, when i was younger i didn't really speak english well due to speaking my native language at home and with relatives, my brothers, parents... it was only around 3rd ish grade that i did. i still have a bit of a trip up on speaking at times and a slight slur, which i hate. it's not "crisp" enough if that makes any sense.
You do not look Chinese ! I am getting Latino vibes. Have you had any surgury for eyes?? Just a curious question ☺
What do you mean? She is mixed blood half chinese, half caucasian. She doesn't need surgery.
Racist as f.
Steven Lu it’s not racist, she was just asking a question. Damn you people are sensitive
If she is mixed its pretty normal that she dont look chinese , or totally chinese . She looks very latina
Your English is better than most Hongkongers! Thumbs up👍! I'm of Cantonese descent but the dialect is lost in my generation. We've basically westernized. You impress me a lot!
Ohhhh...even before, our dialect used to be community based like Haka, Hokkien...etc.. Even in Hong Kong, Cantonese is the main dialect and these more ancient community dialects are lost
你講廣東話好好聽
This is one of your best videos it’s so cute!!
