Hello I know the Chinese in this video is scuffed but hopefully you can still have some fun watching it LOL Editor and I spent many (many) months getting everything ready for this video so please do enjoy 🥹❤ Happy new years!
i was watching this with my parents and they said "他的中文确实很好" (he's actually really good at chinese!) so stop doubting your chinese! glad you could visit us (shanghai)! happy new years ant! 🎉
@@ambarvalia9757 its not really that easy to be able to be very fluent in your mother tongue if you live in a different country and have not that many people around you to speak the language with😭😭
Congrats Ant, you caught another attention of a Chinese here (Malaysian born Chinese) and I can highly relate to you not being good at Chinese and just like you, even I'm trying to learn more Chinese (I'm cursing and swearing as im learning Chinese right now because I swear it's so hard for me to learn a language that i lack exposure to...). I grew up in a heavy English speaking environment in the family and as well as Malay speaking environment in school so my chances of speaking Chinese there were slim to none at all... Sad honestly but I'm being VERY slow in trying to pick my Chinese up and for now, I can understand only a little of what you said here (if it's not for the subtitles, I'll be looking at your video like a dumbass basically lmao😂). New sub btw~
fellow malaysian chinese here, gl studying chinese!! curse words in Chinese are always the first thing we learn when encountering a new language lmao XD
@@kaaaathy yesssss Ikr? 🤣 But I'm trying to improve omg... Being a student in a VERY Chinese uni is hard AF (iykyk which uni in M'sia I'm talking bout)
bro i’m a mainlander/hong konger and i feel you ToT my mother tongue is mandarin but now i go to an international school so my mandarin skills dropped so much. chinese is definitely a really hard language, except the swear words (they’re all i can remember when i learn a new language) good luck in studying chinese and have fun !!
If you are confused as to why Genshin things are in malls, hoyoverse is a Chinese company, fans in china are dedicated like renting a whole mall for furina birthday 🤠
I have been learning Chinese for a year now and because you speak at a nice pace, I could understand a lot of what you said without looking at the subtitles. please make more! it was very helpful and enjoyable :>
YOOO THAT BARBER DID👏YOU👏RIGHT👏!!! You look amazing with your new haircut and I don’t speak Chinese but my cousins live in China so they tell me some things but their English is great! Personally I think your Chinese was still really good, learning a language is really hard. Happy new year and chirstmas eve Antony!
中国欢迎你💕! im Chinese and is been 8 years that i left china and when I saw Shanghai in ur videos I was so excited and so confused bc Shanghai changed a lot and tbh Shanghai have the most expensive price so uh- I wasn’t confused when I saw the prices but still I miss china and I love when you speak Chinese! ur Chinese is very good tho! ( and I saw the hair cut video in Chinese TikTok lol)
Tbh at this point bros editor is roasting him More than anyone ,but anyway love ur vids and 欢迎来到中国，because 北京and上海 is the place where most tourist go and kinda the central the pricing will be higher than other places . Hope you enjoyed your trip to china!!!!
Haha you went to Shanghai!! Last time I went, I jokingly told my friend it’s “my own personal hell” because there’s _so_ much merch for anime fans and it’s hard to get yourself to stop spending money. 😂 Personally I’m actually more into Chinese donghua now, but Shanghai was also a great hell for that because there was _actually_ merch for donghua in physical shops-because donghua merch would be rare in other countries-and there were so many different pieces of merch of many different series, which meant I had so so many temptations! Couldn’t stop buying stuff ahaha. Glad to see you guys also having fun and hope it was a nice trip. ^^
thanks ant for making this i love watching you do these vlogs esp when you speak in chinese, please do more in the future! also 13:13 actually character in that context is 人物 , 特点 means character trait !
These Chinese-speaking challenges are pure gold! 蚂蚁哥, you made it all feel so natural and entertaining without missing a beat. Only you could make language struggles look this funny and impressive-had me laughing nonstop 😭🙏🏻 Can’t get enough of this, it’s honestly such a vibe, hope you keep it coming
yay!! Welcome to China!! I actually went to Beijing and Shanghai in Oct. this year too. To be honest, your chinese is pretty good. I think it's the middle section: @13:34 that got harder to understand... 😵💫 And google translating for 'character' is horrible... it was supposed to be: ‘人物’
10:25 Realest hair stylist I've ever seen 15:00 For some reason, hearing Ant like this is funny in Chinese The Chinese may be scuffed, but it's honestly about all I can understand too lmao so I definitely relate.
omg i can understand most of the chinese you said in this video 😭 i remember back then when you did your first chinese speaking video i still have to see the subtitles 😭😭😭😭 my hard work paid off
fun fact hangyodon in chinese is actually 丑鱼 (ugly fish) also i relate to this so much lmfao as an international student i usually give up halfway through my sentence and speak in english
watching from singapore as a chinese~~ REALLY LOVED THIS VLOG ! i went to china last yr too, and omg u sound so different when speaking Chinese and your tone is perfect and its so funny I understand the struggles of knowing certain words in English but not Chinese as its not my 1st language too🤣
As a native Chinese speaker, I have to say that your Chinese is so much better than most foreigners. The usage of words is quite relaxed and casual, like a real Chinese person would, and even your accent is kind of similar to those from Guangdong province. :D
This was so fun to watch as an abc who grew up speaking mandarin at home but English at school haha. Also at 13:15 I think you wanted to say 角色 (jué sè not jiǎo sè, i know it’s kinda strange lol) cause 特点 means character as in like a special quality that something has haha.
i REALLY love and enjoy watching your vlogs they’re so refreshing esp the ones when you speak in chinese, it actually motivates me into learning the language!! thank you sooo much for the efforts you put for the channel, we appreciate it ❤
I also live in beijing and Im so happy you decided to visit! I think one reason why everything is so expensive is because you’re prob living in like 1-3 “circle” of Beijing. Beijing is basically split into like multiple circles with the ones closest to downtown(1-3) being the most expensive. If you go out into the suburbs (4-5) everything is wayyy cheaper, like im not even kidding. Stuff thats like 20 quai (like $2.5-ish) in 4-5 circle is like 100+ quai ($15-ish) in downtown.
hahahaha，as a native Chinese，i think your Chinese is really excellent！！！The pronunciation is normative🎉And i recommend you to visit Nanjing，because there is my hometown😂
omg theres no way i've just discovered this vid now!! your vlog is good and its strangely calming to watch haha, its comfortable as well listening to you speaking chinese 👽👽 (its good) and im just wondering if you have a bilibili account or not! i feel like people there will enjoy your vids especially these types of vlogs where you speak chinese 😋😋
hello ant! i really enjoyed this vlog, and i can see that they have improved a lot! i’m currently learning chinese so understand some of this was really uplifting and it makes me wanna continue my studies so THANK YOU!!
woah I remember when your first “speak Chinese for a day” vid came out and I’m happily surprised you stuck to the promise of speaking it for a week and showing us around China! as someone who’s also Taiwanese-American yet never been to China this was a great watch! 23:43 I actually saw this exact hand cream store in Japan 😭 almost bought the birthday one for my mom too
It's a surprise to me that it's considered a thick accent because i never notice my own or other people's and don't notice its absence in other Mandarin accents
@@Sky-rw5vq Maybe it's because I grew up in America. Like Antony, I'm not very fluent in Mandarin so the slightest accent will be noticeable, because it would change the pronunciation and then I can't understand it lol
@@Sky-rw5vq Did you grow up in Canada? I've heard that Chinese-Canadians keep up with their language skills (whether it's Mandarin or other) better than Chinese-Americans. I think it's because Canada is more multilingual, compared to America. I left Beijing at a really young age (and also briefly lived in other countries before I moved to America), so I grew up multilingual, but my Mandarin is only conversational. So any minor accent is very obvious to me lol
ill have to say, after watching your videos for so long, this has to be my favourite one in all three of your channnels !! alongside the elementary skl one in taiwan ofc :) ITS SO FUN TO WATCH THESE TYPESOF VIDEOS HEHE and im pretty sure that it might be overwhelming for u, but im also sure that by the end of it u were proud of ur self and it def felt nice speaking chineseeee lol
Compared to your Shihlin elementary school video, your mandarin has improved a ton, your tone is more confident and vocabulary also improved. My mandarin has regressed pretty poorly too since living in Taiwan, so I hope to head back to Taiwan again for vacation this year.
i’m also studying chinese right now! i actually watched the first only speaking in chinese video back when i just started and i didn’t understand anything, but now i feel like i can keep up with what you’re saying!! it’s nice to feel like i have sort of a study partner lol. thank you 蚂蚁哥 🥺🐜
hey ant! just wanted to say, thanks for posting this video! As someone who was born into a Chinese family but basically raised all American with no Chinese school, ur Chinese is way better than mine lol (altho ig that doesnt say much 💀) thanks for giving me a good laugh, some Chinese practice, and inspiration to relearn my first language ❤
6:56 90 degree Celsius is crazy 🤣🔥🔥 Btw. the editor is really cooking at 8:43 ,thanks man👍 14:21 made me laugh do hard as someone who understands mandarin 😂
Hello I know the Chinese in this video is scuffed but hopefully you can still have some fun watching it LOL

Happy new years!
hai. anton 😺 !
Happy new year!!
I liked the video and comment
Happy New Year to you too!! 新年快乐！🎉
You can speak excellent Chinese.👍👍👍
next challenge: speaking in Chinese for a month
after that it will be a year
After that it’s 1 decade
After that it'll be century
No 💀
@@antonychenn LMFAO
1:47 blud sneaked in a "premium economy" and thought we wouldnt notice
(Premium Economy = 高级经济舱)
Idk why I found him saying „premium economy” in a rlly American accent as funny as I did
i was watching this with my parents and they said "他的中文确实很好" (he's actually really good at chinese!) so stop doubting your chinese! glad you could visit us (shanghai)! happy new years ant! 🎉
if just any american then this level is good as a foreign language, but he's a heritage language speaker.

2:25 help i haven’t played genshin in what feels like forever and hearing the liyue music made me feel nostalgic 😭😭
How dare UA-cam hide this from me for 3 minutes, blasphemous
It hid it from me for 3 hrs😭

0:15 the moment it played I knew what song it was
What is the name?
"小城夏天" by LBI
thanks ant for making this i love watching you do these vlogs esp when you speak in chinese, please do more in the future!
also 13:13 actually character in that context is 人物 , 特点 means character trait !
As someone learning mandarin, this kind of content is not only funny but useful
I like these vlogs sm!! Keep it up Ant :D
These Chinese-speaking challenges are pure gold! 蚂蚁哥, you made it all feel so natural and entertaining without missing a beat. Only you could make language struggles look this funny and impressive-had me laughing nonstop 😭🙏🏻 Can’t get enough of this, it’s honestly such a vibe, hope you keep it coming
yay!! Welcome to China!! I actually went to Beijing and Shanghai in Oct. this year too.
To be honest, your chinese is pretty good. I think it's the middle section: @13:34 that got harder to understand... 😵💫 And google translating for 'character' is horrible... it was supposed to be: ‘人物’
That middle section was originally 25 minutes long (and half of it was just me searching stuff on google translate 😭)
actually depending on the context it could be 角色 as well! like "game character" would be 游戏角色
yeah i was thinking about 角色 too
10:25 Realest hair stylist I've ever seen
15:00 For some reason, hearing Ant like this is funny in Chinese
The Chinese may be scuffed, but it's honestly about all I can understand too lmao so I definitely relate.
Thank you! I love your vlogs and hearing you speak Chinese just makes it even better!
i love these vlogs ! please never stop , it makes me want to learn speaking Chinese !
i see why it took you months to edit great work 👏🏻👍🏻
I really like this video format, it's so refreshing and a great chance to improve lang skills!!
omg i can understand most of the chinese you said in this video 😭 i remember back then when you did your first chinese speaking video i still have to see the subtitles 😭😭😭😭 my hard work paid off
fun fact hangyodon in chinese is actually 丑鱼 (ugly fish)
also i relate to this so much lmfao as an international student i usually give up halfway through my sentence and speak in english
10:54 im sorry i started laughing
so glad this vlog finally released, it was worth the wait
im glad you’re making more chinese content AND vlogs they’re super entertaining to watch and it encourages me to do my chinese duolingo 😭😭😭😭

Damn new vlog
Pls bring more I enjoy them af

or 人物
jiao se is used instead of jue se in taiwan, so both are correct
i REALLY love and enjoy watching your vlogs they’re so refreshing esp the ones when you speak in chinese, it actually motivates me into learning the language!! thank you sooo much for the efforts you put for the channel, we appreciate it ❤

HES SUCH A CUTIE SPEAKING CHINESE AHAHA! keep up the great work and keep practising! :D
I hope you can do more videos of speaking in Chinese because I am still learning and this video helps me a lot. Your Chinese is easy to understand ☺️
hahahaha，as a native Chinese，i think your Chinese is really excellent！！！The pronunciation is normative🎉And i recommend you to visit Nanjing，because there is my hometown😂

Brooo I’m doubting my own abilities in Chinese after this 😭😭😭 bravo and happy new year!
Offline shopping in Beijing is very expensive, and we generally only need to pay one-tenth of the money when buying online
7:11 Hahaha that's the thick "erhua" accent. I'm from Beijing so I feel your pain lol
It's a surprise to me that it's considered a thick accent because i never notice my own or other people's and don't notice its absence in other Mandarin accents
