*TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time on desktop computers and laptops OR 25% at a time on smartphone!
Access the playback speed controls as follows:
*Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the lower right of the video's screen and click on the settings icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time.
*Smartphones:* open the video and go to the upper right of the video's screen. You will see 3 dots. Click on them and you will see the link to open the "playback speed" controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you greater control over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).
It's weird how fluently he speaks, but still lacks a lot of vocabulary. I think in Malaysia you can fill in the blanks with English most of time and be understood.
That's why I'm always doubtful when people hype up Singaporeans or Malaysians as "polyglots" or whatever. I remember hearing a pretty good quote from a Singaporean guy when I was there: "Singaporeans speak 5 languages, none of them fluently"
I have a Singaporean friend who said the same thing. Though, there are also a lot of fluent Chinese speakers who are proud of their origin.
It's not just that you can be understood, but people are used to saying different things in different languages. Whichever language they speak it's often a mix, they'll throw in words from another when it feels more natural
@@randomnamegenerator997 I get that, but when it comes to Mandarin, it's pretty useless mixing in other words that only other people in the smaller area know to the point where you don't know the actual words in Mandarin. The result being that you end up speaking like 40% Mandarin which is pretty useless in China, no?
@henriashurst-pitkanen8735 His Chinese would be far from useless in China...
看完了！内容特别有意思，你们俩特别好玩儿。I had so much fun watching you two. Mixing languages and cultures can be so entertaining and instructive. Lovely video!
This is an interesting topic. Love from Taiwan.❤
非常有意思的对话内容。谢谢Eilen，你真棒！
非常谢谢老师让有这种机会看这个节目❤非常谢谢顺利圆满
The best session ever. Thanks Both Laoshi!
Good interview. Thanks
多谢！你的视频真的很有帮助。最好和最有趣的视频
can any native or fluent chinese speaker tell me if his tones are correct? Some times its so unclear to me when he speaks some words that normally the tone is very clear to know. Im studying chinese and want to know if its my problem or if the guy actually is speaking some tones wrong. example: 8:08 i really cant hear he saying Chǔfá, idk why but it sounds like Chúfǎ. i would appreciate if anyone could explain to me.
Malaysian Chinese may have their distinct accent, so do Chinese from different provinces in Mainland China. We did a video on this topic: Why You Can't Understand Real Chinese?
As for 处罚 chufa, I listened to it again, I don't think he mispronounced, but sometimes he might have not ennounciated every letter.
@@MandarinCorner2 I see. thx for the quick response. i will watch the video about the topic
Nice Indian guy, very useful video!
He has alot of Chinese friends to communicate very well in Chinese, because his English is very good
这么好的客人
41:04 he may not have responded negatively to this action of yours (maybe he's used to it) but it can be offensive to some even if done jokingly, because it can be perceived as you making a caricature of them.
That teacher was evil.
Superb. Thanks from Moscow
great'
泰国人对邻居也很感兴趣并且八卦太多
❤❤❤❤
👍👍👍👍👍
Eileen are you currently living in malaysia ?
No
This is one of my favorites of all the interviews you've done Aileen.
Why do you think so?
@@ДаниярДанияров-л1м ha, ha, I can't remember why I made the comment now without watching the video again. Something about the young man impressed me though.
@@ДаниярДанияров-л1м Because it is humorous and relatively "easy" to understand his spoken Chinese.
That was excellent, a perfect level of Chinese for intermediate learners and a very engaging interviewee. Thank you so much for this Eileen! Please make more of these :)
我觉得这个人说的有点不对因为他的看法是完全根据他住在马来西亚的生活，其实身为一名印度人我也可以分享我的经历，我去中国旅游的时候我会跟别人讲中文，他们大部分时候没有什么反应，不是像他说的“怕我”或者“很震惊”那种（问他们的话他们会觉得我是西藏人但大部分时候他们不会有什么样的感觉）。of course每个人的体验不一样，但是他需要知道印度是一个很多元的国家，每一个省份都有不一样的长相。假设一个泰国人来中国说几句普通话，大部分的人应该不会有什么反应因为他的长相不一样不过不是那么的不一样。而且他也说印度话在马来西亚指的是塔米尔语，很明显在那里大部分的印度人是从哪个省份来的。在中国我没有遇到歧视，这是我个人体验。
Absolutely prejudiced and incorrect view of homeless people in KL, it's a very common stereotype amongst Malaysians that homeless people are running scams. The reality is that the cost of living is completely unaffordable for a lot of people, especially migrant workers.
Yeah it was honestly a bit strange the things he said about homeless, I didn't like it
I think they’re probably referring to beggars, since they talked about giving money. It depends on where you see them. If they show up at touristy areas or night markets, chances are they’re part of a syndicate.
My housing area used to have a weekly night market. On that night one could see beggars scattered along the road with different kinds of deformities of the limbs. Given their disabilities, one couldn’t help but wonder how they managed to get there. After that night, for the remaining six days of the week, one could never see them anywhere around the neighbourhood. But go to another night market in another housing area 5 to 10 minutes drive away, one will see them there.
I’ve seen local-looking people who sleep rough by the walkway in front of shops. Most of them don’t beg. But the local residents know them and would sometimes give them money or buy them food. I believe these are the true homeless people.
boohoo
Not about homeless, more like beggars. I know if that person deserve help or not. What he said is spot on and I can't believe even Malaysians like you people cannot tell the difference.
This kind of guest is really great for intermediate lessons advanced, much less new words. Thank you!
太棒了👏
As a fellow Malaysian, glad that Kairesh didn't try to skirt around what some people may deem as "sensitive" racial issues. Of course there are many nuances to this and this isn't the conversation to deep dive into it, but he did well to cover most grounds. Then again... it's highly unlikely the kinds who find these topics "sensitive" would watch videos like this anyway.
I have no idea how to explain it to them that we're questioning the racism in society, not the constitution. suddenly i'm the un-patriotic one😕
太好了！他讲中文得太好了。
我很开心看看这部视频，谢谢你。
❤️ 你的中文一直都会帮我。
I am a Malaysian. The infor given that the Malays are given 20% to 30% discount for home purchase is wrong. It is 3%
I can understand his chinese very well! Probably be cause he does not use too many complicated words :D

nandri 您！
Hi Eileen ! I was wondering if you were going to make more videos like « a walk », or like « true story » (in which you talk about a personal experience) ? Those are great, I miss them so much 😄 I find them very immersive ! In any case, thanks to you and your friend (who’s filming/editing) for all your videos !
Malaysia also had singer called
« Xiaio Hei, who mostly sings in
Hokkien dialect🚽,
How do you recommend studying your videos?
What I do is stop the video when there's a word I don't understand , check it in pleco dictionary and write it somewhere so i can study it later
After developing a foundation, watch the same one over and over and over again 😅
Although no difficult words but still very useful

Very interesting conversation! Thx!
馬來西亞，新加坡多元種族的國家，說話就是混合其他語言是正常的。
⚠️⚠️⚠️ 請問一下你們可以訪問我嗎？我中文比以前更好啦，我現在說的很流暢了。我以前住台灣，生活豐富，我是教英文的。 請考慮喔 ⚠️⚠️⚠️
