What a great lady that gave you the food for free to advertise the business , she was awesome , I hope she gets a lot more good customers , she seemed really nice .
i love your videos June. you destinguish yourself from all other poliglots thats go on to make videos because your relationship with chinese language is deep because you are part chinese. peoples reactions are so much diferent than other videos of other speakers. Your interaction with the chinese people is so much fun to watch because its SUPER authentic. They are super happy to interact with you and also hear your story. Plus your humble personality makes these interactions, these moments, such a feel good watch. I am sure that if you would post a lot you would be a lot bigger on youtube. But yeah, i dont know you nor you intentions and at least what you put out feel very genuine :)))))))))))))))))))) love it
@@knlei1 I think it's not just that he's mixed race, since he grew up in China he is culturally mixed as well. The interactions he has with others feel very genuine. Sometimes when I watch these types of videos from other polyglots, they receive more dramatic praise because they have an obvious beginner's accent. So people will praise them more (similar to when adults praise children) because they can tell that the speaker is proficient (but not fluent) in Chinese. June's Mandarin pronunciation is clearly fluent (and even better than most of the waitresses/ cashiers, who speak Mandarin with their own regional accents). That's why their conversations feel more natural. His pronunciation, choice of words, and even his easygoing demeanor reminds me of the way that regular people interact/ socialize in China. There's a really relaxed vibe to his videos. I'm the opposite of him, I am Chinese but grew up in America, so when I am speaking with Chinese people who are fluent in Mandarin, they talk to me like I am a child lmao (because I have the proficiency level of a child). So I literally speak like I am 5 years old. I'm really envious of people who are bilingual or are fluent in more than 1 language. I can only really speak English fluently.
@@marianne3802 The only one of the UA-camrs who I think is "authentic" in their conversations (in Chinese specifically) is that Xaimoi (sp, sorry) guy. He studied in China after all and has a Chinese wife, so I feel like he's more genuine there with these Chinese discussions etc. But all these other languages he's "learning" I'm not so sure. After a few videos I've seen "debunking" people like him I don't know how genuine he is with all these other languages he's supposedly learning etc. all that being said, he seems like a nice guy and I don't think he's trying to decieve people or anything. But June here is obviously fluent in his Mandarin and since he grew up in China, you can just tell when he's being genuine, if that makes sense. Like when he puts his hands together to say thank you or something like that. It feels more homely if that is even a thing? lol
This lady at the tea shop was so amazingly kind and professional. Even before she recognized him, her customer service was top notch. She wouldn't let him pay. I hope she gets a lot of business. Flushing is full of great little spots.
Glad see you putting up more videos so that we can learn more about the Chinese language and culture, also the surprise on their face when you begin speaking fluent Chinese 😅
😊😊😊😊 This was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! The reaction of everyone he interacted with was positive and respectful. I have come to realize that if you show people something UNEXPECTED in a positive way the walls come down. Its the "Othering" that keeps people apart. All he had to do is show that he has interest in THEIR CULTURE and knows their language and he was IN! This video should be played for people to see that it is possible for PEACE and a lot that divides us is just that WE DO NOT KNOW EACH OTHER. Good luck to you and thanks for posting! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!
First time popping back up in my algorithm in a year. I see you have a few vids since then. Keep uploading man. You don't have to spend money to make vids. Though, I wouldn't take anything for free. It's the interactions we're here for!
Brother - You are amazing and this video is more than entertaining - It's both helpfully informative and heartwarming. Will be doing a food tour of Queens with friends next year and this helps us to know where to go. Heck, we may look you up and ask you to join if you have the time! I've seen a LOT of this world, and what I enjoy most are discovering the people and their cultures. Taking the time to know people and share a common experience, always overcomes misconception and brings love ❤️. Bless you Brother
Very nice. This is a difficult language to learn, what a blessing! You will go far in life in the corporate, medical, legal field or other such fields. Makes me proud watching your interaction with native speakers. I am glad to have come across your channel. Many blessings.
I love your videos, it’s so cool to hear you speak/practices your native language [that I find so interesting and want to learn] while eating delicious food😂❤
That was pretty Kool! Shows if you respect peoples culture it makes them feel open to communicate pleasantly with you and sometimes . give ya free stuff!
I love it , its so cool to be able to speak different languages , all I know is hello and thank you in chinese and the same in korean , being able to eat all these great dishes is cool and you have a great rapport with people
I watched one of your colabs with Frankie and immediately subscribed to your channel. Your Mandarin is so melodious, I could listen all day. The boba shop lady knows the publicity value of treating a food blogger. Spot on compliment from the other lady about your mom. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you.
I love watching your videos and glad u are posting. I am trying to learn Chinese along with my daughter since I speak fluent Cantonese. I find it not to hard to learn. Keep up the great work. I would love watching a video with u, xiaoma and Frankie together.
Bro is amazing. I love how he starts off English like he’s a foreigner, but then just lay some Chinese out on him. It was like no bro I was born here. Love it.
Bro... my granddaughter is three quarter Chinese mixed with Jamaican and Guyanese, and we both just about speak English. I must say though I love watching you in action. 💯❤️
My only regret is while i taught in China, i didnt have more time to learn the language and was shutout during Cov8d and Chinese New Year so my time there was cut very short. I only had 1.5 years there but had very large classes and had a lot of thesis to review during my downtime. I have books and CDs but nothing beats being inspired by those around you. Lovely people truly.😊
greetings from miami dude i really like this keep going appreciated love to hear languages your content is excellent thank you for your time and dedication serious subscribed boss
I found the 1st tea shop on Google and gave them full stars because of how they treated you EVEN BEFORE they knew you were a UA-camr. She was extremely kind! The last place was somewhat dismissive so nothing for them from me 🤣🤣🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️
Yes, June! I'm loving the videos, man! It's good to see you're back making content again. This has helped inspire me on my Mandarin journey! Keep it up! 😎
I don’t know what the big shock is, if they look past the skin color and hair they should be able to look at you and see that you are part Asian! Ray Charles is dead and blind and he can see that!😂 I absolutely love your channel!
darn i didn't even realize i wasn't subbed, i'm so glad YT algo brought u back to me. i watched all your videos before, pls keep them coming brother. i love these type of videos so much, i used to watch laoshu with a passion (rip legend) and i watch viktor and xiaoma etc, but i love how down to earth your content feels. You'll grow huge brother i'm sure of it, inshallah.
june wit another banger! keep up the dope content man we wanna see more! only thing is maybe change the color of one persons cc so we can tell who's saying what, other than that 🔥
Wooooooooow the look of shock on their faces! Priceless lol I get that look from Germans when they come to Oklahoma for training at the army post . Most of the foreign soldiers are placed in my gated community and when their little ones are outside playing I will ask them how are doing and what do they think about America? They’re blown away that I speak German.
You're obviously a high level native speaker of Mandarin. It would be awesome to see more advanced stuff where you get into deeper conversations about life with people!
He is so natural it takes them a while to even realize what he is doing. One thing I have learned is that people are people. All over the world. Cultures and governments may try to separate us but we are all very alike in our needs and desires.
ah bro, literally checked last night to see if you posted anything. Keep your work rate up, hopefully we can see you travelling to China and interacting with locals too!
i love how you stayed and listened to her promote, your videos are becoming my favs
I’m African and my girlfriend is Chinese. I hope our kids can be half as cool as you. Love your videos.
I would recommend raising them in America if you can!
@@joshuain2771 agreed, the system isnt that great over there
@@joshuain2771 he'll be divorced in a year. Stay away bro
Make as many as you can, we need more blasian people!
@@joshuain2771 we are in Australia but would love to live in the US at some point
What a great lady that gave you the food for free to advertise the business , she was awesome , I hope she gets a lot more good customers , she seemed really nice .
she gave him the food out of respect, that he speaks their language, and he honored them

My grandfather was from China living in Jamaica my dad spoke the language but never taught us to see you speak so fluently is great 🥰
Glad to see you back
You mean good to see you black😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 calm down I'm black too
@ he’s Chinese though. Black is just a color.
Bro is a legend and he doesn't even know it yet
he got 45k after posting 2 videos because of xiaoma, you don't think he knows what he's sitting on? clearly you're the one who doesn't know
@@agsdjklshadsabn Bro why are u so mad? I was giving him a compliment 💀
@@darkego123 a compliment "he doesnt even know it yet" bro just sounds a little confused but u had nice intentions so its ok
@@agsdjklshadsabn It's not that deep...he isn't sweating it because I'm sure he didn't take it how you think.
@@darkego123 im not sweating either, who said anything about sweating? you just look confused so i tried to help you like a good person
I ❤ watching your videos. My daughter is mixed w/Laos & African American. Once she speaks Laos the Laos are SHOCKED…LOL
Does she tell them that she's a native?
Hope the tea shop is getting more business! The lady was so nice and great!
Ayeeee Back at it 🔥 The lady at the bubble tea spot was going hard🤣🤣 She was ready for you to try everything!
Very smart business lady.
She wanted him to try more than the drinks !
Really loved your interaction with the lady at the tea shop. Great video.
Yessir the Blasian Goat of Flushing is back again 😂👌
Thanks!
Get one of those teas on me...that lady from the milk tea shop is dope!
I love that you are greeted with a smile... thanks for sharing!
Love how amazed they are when you begin to speak their language. Lots of double takes and others move in vicinity to hear you speak.
Zaza tea lady was so nice!
Glad see you putting up more videos so that we can learn more about the Chinese language and culture, also the surprise on their face when you begin speaking fluent Chinese 😅

Man- You are one beautiful Human Being! Thanks for showing Us Your world!🤗🙏🏾👊🏾🙌🏾👑
I think you can definitely see your Asian ancestry in your face. At least to me anyway. I wouldn’t be shocked to see you start speaking Mandarin.
that milk tea shop owner is the goat
First time popping back up in my algorithm in a year. I see you have a few vids since then. Keep uploading man. You don't have to spend money to make vids. Though, I wouldn't take anything for free. It's the interactions we're here for!
A Muslim black guy who speaks Chinese. I've seen it all now. May Allah bless you man.
But theres black guys that speak chinese
Theres chinese muslims
Theres black muslims
He decided he'll make a cost eggective box and mixed it all up😂

Probably because he is also half chinese
Must you mention Muslim black guy? Just balck guy🙄
Ameen!

Just watched all your videos including the one with Xiaoma. Subscribed too. Best of luck. Would love to hear about your time in America vs. China.

June is back! Very refreshing, mostly after that Johnny Somali bullcrap, feels good to have someone that does it right 👍🏼
Johnny Somali is not Somali. Just an FYI you know
@@leeban I know but that's the name he goes for unfortunately
@@leeban.No 💩, Sherlock. You're not telling us something we don't already know.
I love watching your videos and glad u are posting. I am trying to learn Chinese along with my daughter since I speak fluent Cantonese. I find it not to hard to learn. Keep up the great work. I would love watching a video with u, xiaoma and Frankie together.
CantoMando has some videos for learning Mandarin for learners who already speak Cantonese.
I love this video! Please make more! I was a bit sad to see that the videos on this channel are posted so many months apart.
Bro is amazing. I love how he starts off English like he’s a foreigner, but then just lay some Chinese out on him. It was like no bro I was born here. Love it.
Bro... my granddaughter is three quarter Chinese mixed with Jamaican and Guyanese, and we both just about speak English. I must say though I love watching you in action. 💯❤️
Mannnn I wanna learn some Chinese, its so wholesome seeing their faces when someone speaks their language
My only regret is while i taught in China, i didnt have more time to learn the language and was shutout during Cov8d and Chinese New Year so my time there was cut very short. I only had 1.5 years there but had very large classes and had a lot of thesis to review during my downtime. I have books and CDs but nothing beats being inspired by those around you. Lovely people truly.😊
really enjoy the content my dude, i hope you start pumping out some more videos!
As a novice Mandarin learner…you are an inspiration bro.
I will totally make my way to Flushing Queens to try the Zaza tea next time I'm in NYC 🗽. That lady was so nice to you.
YOU’RE BACK!!!!! Got to keep the content going this is sooo cool.

Glad to see you are back. Maybe going to other cities like San Francisco would be kool.
He's very handsome! Enjoy his videos very much!❤

Well at least you didn’t give them a negative review, because they weren’t dismissive at all 🤣🤣
Yes, June! I'm loving the videos, man! It's good to see you're back making content again.
This has helped inspire me on my Mandarin journey!
Keep it up! 😎
I don’t know what the big shock is, if they look past the skin color and hair they should be able to look at you and see that you are part Asian! Ray Charles is dead and blind and he can see that!😂 I absolutely love your channel!
No one in this video was actually very shocked. They just didn’t expect him to speak Chinese, so they were slightly surprised.
It was nice of you to promote that shop, I found it funny that is called zaza tea lol.
Thank you for coming back
Got to learn Chinese so i can eat for free..... especially living in Hawaii, so much good foods and shops here! Aloha!
Keep up the videos you're content started me bck watching language videos again

I see you getting consistent bro, stick with it 💯. Dope video
I love how the tea shop lady didn't interrogate him about his heritage. She just spoke to him normally, without a blatant change in her demeanor.👍
He is so natural it takes them a while to even realize what he is doing. One thing I have learned is that people are people. All over the world. Cultures and governments may try to separate us but we are all very alike in our needs and desires.
I just subscribed to your channel today. Keep up the great work.
we love ur vids! pls continue
ah bro, literally checked last night to see if you posted anything. Keep your work rate up, hopefully we can see you travelling to China and interacting with locals too!
Wow , so cool my brother, your Chinese speaking is amazing.
Thanks bro you’re really helping me proving my Chinese ❤❤
FINALLYYY A NEW VIDEOOO
I just love these videos and I don’t really know why ❤
Awesome video! Will definitely support the take out restaurant that gave you the food for free 😊
Love watching your videos so genuine & seeing that cute face too 😅😊
They all had attitude until he spoke and they understood completely.
The king is back!
The only thing wrong with this channel is there aren't more videos. Help us out, man! We love our content
I’m tryna hear the food reviews too bruh 😂 w vid
You dont have a lot posted, but I still enjoy your videos!
As Salaam Alaikum good brotha good content. Keep growing ya channel!!!!!
