"You're my favourite child"
"I'm your favourite?!"
"You and Eddie."
"You only have 2 children!" 😂😂
suga
YOONGI
CatchYouLaterr this part is so sooo cute
You're my favorite child (among all the children I see, including the ones in the kindergarten.)
Gotta use this against my Chile in fights 😂😂😂
‘ I want to be a astronaut’ ‘Of course you can’t’ Asian parents be crushing dreams 😂😂😂
*Asian moms
Hahahahah
My mom will ask: 你生病了吗？
FaultyWires Asian kids can never get parents approval for any unstable job. Parents don’t tell you to chase your dreams, they tell you to think logical and don’t be stupid 😂
your mom is an exception then!! For sure not ALL Asian parents crush dreams, but most of them do. They want their kids to be realistic and logical about their career choice.
This really fun to watch when you speak both English and Chinese..Great video
WODE MAYA Hey! what are you doing here?I'm so surprised i never seen your comment before. 😀
WODE MAYA ikr😂
WODE MAYA #relatable
who is Charlotte
WODE MAYA 👌
“you don’t have a single muscle on your body” that killed me😂😂
Reality is harsh... lol...
ARMY? :D
Armyyy! My bias is Jhoooooope! 😆
@@okokok9127 Yey!! My bias is Jimin and my bias wrecker is Jungkook! :D
jimin the living mochi My bias wrecker is Yoongi/Suga :)
"because dad also really loves you, but he never says it" and the "oh" at the end
"Oh he does?"
the guy that got roasted by his mom is holding his side as if he's actually been wounded hahaha
grass spotted 🌱🌱
I laughed so hard...when Allen's mom called him"you don't have a single muscle on your body and you wanna be an astronaut?"
I just can't
“你一块肉都没有!!真么当太空人？？”😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Shiroki Sasaki this is just like that channel on youtube
Park Jimin 지민오빠사랑해요 for some reason its even funnier in chinese haahhahaha
Shiroki Sasaki I thought she would of said "you can only be doctor!"
In Malaysia, Chinese people who can't speak Chinese are called "bananas". I personally know quite a few of them.
@Need A Name yes, it means yellow outside but white inside
but but.... bananas are yellow inside as well 😳
im a banana :,)
I’m a coconut I’m brown but practically white on the inside but I speak more mandarin Hangul and Japanese than I do Hindi
Joachim Ardiles Jukie imagine going to your friend,’so a bunch of my friends are bananas.!’
這段短片看的我笑著感動，因爲我女兒和兒子都是A/Australia BC，我們雖然不算強制，但是都盡量用普通話和廣東話和他們溝通，最明顯的轉變期是孩子上了小學之後，回家就是滿嘴的英文了，雖然只是小學，卻有很多内容我們都要要求她慢慢講多一次才明白她說什麽，我時常想，這真是一种很奇妙的關係，血緣方面一定是自己的親生，文化方面他們卻不是我的孩子，將來的溝通一定會有很多笑話的，我的孩子還小，真希望他們到了片中的大孩子的時候還能和我們用流利的中文溝通。裏面的一些問題我覺得很感動，西方的教育是讓愛不單做出來，也大聲講出來讓父母知道，但是中式的教育卻非常的隱沒的了講的環節。看到孩子們向媽媽說“我愛你”的時候我内心好感動。畢竟不是商業的那種流溢于表面的字詞翻譯，真的，在一個存在不同文化的移民家庭裏面，愛是唯一的牽絆，要不是父母子女之間的愛，不同的文化，内心的世界如何溝通，難以想象。P.S: 一位媽媽說，其實爸爸也很愛你們，只是他不說。我太能體會了，因爲我是一個爸爸，哈哈哈~but..我可能好一點，我時常會對孩子們說i love you~
期望更多的中國家長將愛的語言帶入自己的家庭，不論你是不是在海外的移民家庭，親子之間的關於超越語言和文化，讓家裏多一點愛，少一點紛爭。
看你的评论打消了我看了视频感到“以后跟孩子沟通有障碍怎么办，父辈怎么办”的顾虑，谢谢你
所以一直还是想把孩子生在国内。文化这个东西我觉得还是喜欢自己国家的，就跟家训一样，是一种传承的东西，不想让它没落。
+He Xuan 一样，我女儿8个月已经回国了2个月，等她大一点还打算住长一点，虽然她生在国外，但是还是要她知道自己是中国人
英语50分路过
我邻居家小孩感觉中文很好，可能因为他外公外婆过来澳洲和他们常住吧，外公每天坐车送孩子上下学。
感觉广东话家庭，abc基本都会讲广东话。讲国语的家庭感觉abc中文倒是不大好。
BROOOOOO "You don't have a single muscle in your body, yet you think you can be an astronaut?" & the mom who had 2 out of 2 favorite children 😂😂
Gotta love immigrant parents ❤
Not my mom. She clearly has a favourite. And it’s not me... :(
i’m a chinese adoptee so i kinda relate (sorta but in a different way) but this motivated me to keep studying mandarin and cantonese so i can get connected to my roots
exosposed yes! 推荐你读读三国和水浒
Lwish you good luck.
加油！
Exo😍😝
@Master Ding dong oh hush
as a "genuine" Chinese I'd say Allen carries the most fluent conversation and Charlotte has really really good pronunciations
You are so BEAUTIFUL!❤
Well except for Derek, who admittedly doesn't use Mandarin at all, everyone has a very decent accent.
the girl who got last was definitely cantonese
Echo she spoke cantonese right there!
Yap!!! Their parents were all from China except Derek his parents are Taiwanese
@@Yuuu2003 Well that's not much of a difference, especially for the earlier generations.
Bennet Liang Come on dude My parents are Taiwanese so I can definitely discriminate the difference
I love Japanese and Korean and Chinese Language its so satisfying to hear
SAmmmmeee
I wanna learn Korean first though!
me too

Flowerhoseokeu did u literally copy a news article I’m-
Flowerhoseokeu lmao im korean and u literally copied a news article about a baseball player what in the fuck 😂
Their self introduction in Chinese is brilliant, thanks to their parents's teaching. Hope they can use Chinese more often, because it can be your advantage in future.
"I'm half Chinese."
*Calls the half that doesn't speak Chinese*
I m surprised their chinese is actually this good .... most CBCs i know cant even finish a sentence without substituting a english word in
especially when your Chinese is bad and your English is better like me
Actually they can speak like native.. but they just pretend they cant speak..
They have cheat sheet
hahaha me except I'm an ABC
a lot of Indians born in America have trouble speaking Hindew.
Next step is to write Chinese character.
I know how to write one to ten does that count lol get it does that COUNT XD puns..
write the biang in biang biang mien lol
Arda Drawing that has like 38 strokes right! Lol
人活着钱没了 im out
I’d fail if I had to write
you can never diss back a chinese mum
You want to die,bro?😂
yes, my mum is like a raper
Your are absolutely right
I love this. We help so many ABCs study Chinese to help their relationships with their parents and grandparents. Great example!
but mom i want to be an astronaut
kyle of course you can’t you don’t have any muscle on your body
XD
I love your username chfgdhdhd and your profile pic fjdjichfjdjsksksk
You will notice no one called daddy. hahahaha typical.
Shawn Wang it’s because if you say one thing wrong to your dad he will either roast the shit out of you or beat the shit out of you. Or both.
Yes , they do , they usually ask dad where mom is
Most eastren dads don't try to be frined their children and form a slave master relationship with ther kids so their kids fear them and try to avoid them as much as possible
Shawn Wang LOL yep I wouldnt call my dad for this either
You don't say. Even if I'm just calling home to ask something, if my dad picks up the phone, I'll ALWAYS go "er dad? Where's mum? Like to talk to her" 😂
"I have a boyfriend now"
"Congratulations"
WHY IS THIS WOMAN NOT MY MOTHER OMG
Low-key all the mum's sound exactly the same 😂
Nour Al_sharify ikr
true
And they look the same
All moms bag

Classic Chinese mom... lmao
Sng Ler Jun ：p
这个妈妈简直笑死我了哈哈哈哈哈
这暴击。。。妈妈是出了六把无尽吧
Sng Ler Jun This was so funny
Why is Allen always killing me 😂 his parts are always just so funny. Like his facial expressions and the conversation. hahahaha Terry thanks for bringing me here again. I love listening to people speaking Chinese. I love the accent. 👍👌 I actually understood some bits. Im so proud of myself. 😂
+Terry He (何天宇) thank you! And you're always welcome Terry! Bri's boi is also my boi❤😄
+Kpopper Princess Totally! He''s real BAE
Kpopper Princess If u want to find someone to practice Chinese I can do it .
the only cantonese speaker got eliminated lmao
poor her, I was rooting for her until her mother said she wasn't free.
I've seen comments and mixed reviews here. I'm ABC, fluent in both Chinese and English and needless to say I'm proud of my bilingual background. For those pointing their fingers at these poor children how their "lack of Chinese skills" equate to "lack of Chinese pride", please don't EVER do that. Don't EVER blame them for their background and the environment they grew up in. Chinese people growing up overseas will always use their country of birth's language on a daily basis, so OF COURSE they don't speak Chinese as much. So why is this "surprising" or "tragic"? I think the most tragic is how you guys can be very judgmental when they don't know them and their backgrounds very well! That is very ignorant and narrow-minded. Perhaps you guys should try living in a foreign country outside of China and interact with overseas Chinese and non-Chinese people more. That way it will broaden your minds and perspectives on lives that are completely different than yours. Also, it is wonderful to interact with people outside of your race! If this world only consists of one race and one language, the world will be a very boring place to live in. HELLO??!! DIVERSITY!!!!
+Tiffany Chin THANK YOU for saying this! From personal experience and accounts from ABC friends, getting severely criticized and shamed for not being fluent like a native-speaker just alienates us and makes us feel a strong sense of resentment. When I visited Chinatown LA for the first time in 11 years, the locals shook their heads when I just communicated in English. I would try to speak Mandarin to them because I thought that would make me more liked, but I still got disapproving looks. One of the vendors even yelled at me, saying that my Chinese sucks. The bilingual ones accused me of being ashamed of my Chinese identity.
+Anthony Yang I can relate to what you went through and I'm sorry to hear they gave you shit for that. And yes, I would also get shit from my relatives for not being "proud" of my Chinese culture or not speaking Chinese more often like them. I won't judge you. We're all in this together!
You act as whatever you act; I judge as whatever I judge. Fair game.
I love ur repsonse to this because it relates to my situation so much! Im not Chinese but I am from a South Pacific background but grew up in Australia. I use to speak my language when I was small but I stopped as time went by simply because of my surroundings and the environment I grew up in. My parents speak the languge to me and I understand 100% but I dont speak it simply because I dont feel fluent enough to speak it and it makes me uncomfortable because my pronounciation is off. Like I'd love to be fluent in my language and Im ashamed that Im not. However that doesnt mean that I'm ashamed of my background because I absolutely love my culture!! The native speakers say I'm plastic just because im from overseas and I cant speak my own language. It's really sad. I will try my best to learn my language though.
Being bilingual is more useful than being monolingual.Why limit yourself to only learning English when you could learn both?
I speak Cantonese, but the people at my school barely even know Cantonese is a language for China. They ask, “Why aren’t you Mandarin?”
*offended*
I don’t think I’m superior, I was just joking around. Sorry if it bothered you. (Please don’t think I’m trying to be mean, lmao)
@@lina6550 Where do you live? I was born in U.S and in the 90's you couldn't find 1 mandarin speaker in Chinatown. Most early immigrants were from Toisan,Guangdong.
These days there are more immigrants from mainland, also CCP actively promoting
Mandarin.
I feel ya
NCTzen detected-
I speak a bit of mandarin and that’s really all I know, but I really want to learn Cantonese as well...and Korean and Japanese 😂
再见！
粤语难听死了，还是学好普通话吧，当然学韩语最好，毕竟韩国的文化输出最厉害
tbh there Chinese is actually really amazing despite living in the US for their whole life, well done guys I love u guys💜
Came to the US when I was 2; therefore, I am considered a 1.5 generation Asian American. I grew up speaking English and only Vietnamese at home and Cantonese when I visited my dad's side of the family. When I was 24, I decided to learn Mandarin. Even though I wasn't born in the US, I was raised and influenced by the American culture and mainly speak English; however, I have decided that no matter what, my children (ALL of them) will know how to speak both the Vietnamese and Chinese language. I want them to know their heritage, their culture and their language...so that they never forget where they really came from.
+Ngoc Gia Lam that's amazing!
Same
Can you speak Chinese? Only a little？
That's very touching keep it up the good work..
我不是中国人 but im still trying to learn. If i were them i wouldn't lose the opportunity to learn Chinese. Wo ai Chinese!

(Also I love hua chenyu ❤)
Edit 9 April 2021: yall i gave up like a week after.. it's too hard 😭
Stauroula Dallas welcome!
Blake Bondurant please share them! Thank you sooo much!
From what I understand that learn to speak Chinese should be easy. But writting is hard for foreigners.
Stauroula Dallas .If you want to learn more about mandarin or anyother thing about Chinese. You can contact with me. Im a Chinese girl living in Melbourne, trying to improve me English.... You can reply me.💙💛🧡

“你是妈妈最喜欢的孩子！”“啊我是你最喜欢的孩子！”“还有小龙！”“哎？你一共就两个孩子……”哈哈哈哈哈哈这里笑岔气哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
有几个人明显有ABC腔，可是有几个人中间大碴子味儿都出来了哈哈哈
+Jackie Lee 对啊 笑死我了哈哈哈哈

东北话的意思

卧槽睁不开双眼
The part where the mom was like you’re my favourite kid! You and your brother! And the dude went from super happy to destroyed in .05 seconds like “but you only have two kids” killed me 😂
我了10岁开始学中文了。我现在十五岁。我爱喜欢中文。我的同学了不喜欢中文和我一样多了。我们今天学会了“了”句型。我的中文不是很好，如果这没有意义，那我很抱歉。谢谢你的看书！再见 👋
你是哪国人呢
James Zhang 我是美国人
很棒的嘗試，我覺得妳很厲害😯👍
哈哈嘻 谢谢
这很有意义，希望你中文越来越好。加油
看着看着就哭了出来。。。尤其是那句“只要你常来看看我就好了。”

CHINESE SOUNDS SEXY TO ME I DONT KNOW WHY XD
+K_life adventure XD
張馨怡 by the way..
HOLLA ARMY!!
+張馨怡 more like cba
K_life adventure what is that?
I’m Half Thai, and I was fluent in Thai when I was under 5, but hit my head so hard I almost got a memory loss. I forgot how to speak it, and now I’m stuck with a white friend who apparently knows more Thai than me.
+Babycupquake33 Theres more than just my speaking thats sad.
practice then
Anpanman I think this is more of a psychological problem
สวัสดีค่ะ, Greeting from Thailand ayyyy (Im Thai and still struggle with some Thai words, cuz that's how hard the language is lol)
@leo pratama how is that even possible?
“i don't just like you ，l love you”流泪了 我也很想妈妈 可能外国朋友和二代三代华人朋友用英文看这句话感受不到用中文说出来的分量吧 中国的父母是很少会这样说的 听到这一句我真的瞬间流泪 T﹏T
Thanks for the video. My son is an ABC(Australia) and nearly 5 years old now. He speaks Cantonese at home, English at school and Mandarin to his Grandparents. I really hope he can manage to speak Chinese when he grows up.
Surprisingly most of them still retain their chinese accents when they speak chinese
每個媽媽的聲音都好像喔 哈哈
All of the moms sounds similar
Wu Ethan probably similar dialect
Racist much?
Goryachyi Cacao
Uh…no?
哦对啊😂
Wu Ethan 我的妈妈也是听的很像它们的妈妈 哈
I've been literally in love with the Chinese language since I was a little child. I was always in awe when people spoke it and I would always ask them to teach me something. So glad people are actually learning their respective languages these days. I'm fluent in my mother language but I'm trying to learn more languages now. Good luck to everyone
0:55 OMG! that handsome+charming voice is melt my heart ☺️☺️☺️
This feels more like a prank than a challenge hahahaha
你一块肌肉都没有还想当太空人？哈哈哈哈哈哈哈绝对亲生的！
A friend of mine at work, who is an astonishingly wonderful guy, grew up in Hong Kong. He now lives in Canada ( alongside me ) and told me that in an effort to integrate properly to the society, he has only let his kids speak english since they could talk. It breaks my heart to know that a parent cannot speak to their child in their native language. I love when people try to integrate as best they can, but for everybody out their, learning your cultural language can be a wonderful experience. Don't let the ancestry die :)
That was so stupid of him.
ALLEN'S MOM THROWING SHADE AT HIM RIGHT AFTER HE SAID HE WANTS TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT AHAHAHAHAHAHAH my mom does that too don't worry
父母高中来的，不讲中文，那是不可能的，我也是高中来的澳洲，但是中文是我的母语，我希望我的孩子和我讲中文
黃宇豪超好笑阿哈哈哈
我以为听到叶童，不要问我为什么，被黄妈妈爆笑
我也超級喜歡黃宇豪哈哈哈
+劉百郡 黄妈妈真是又可爱又棒哈哈哈
黄宇豪我cousin..今天我看到这个视频吓我一跳
對！喜歡看他的反應
说得很好啊，而且口音还在，那浓浓的东北味～哈哈哈
When his mom said he could never be an astronaut... that was just the best! xD
Ed Sheeran艾德希兰ai de xi lan. Although in China there is a nick name called Boss Huang, cuz the very first person who recommended him on Acfun, his Id was 黄老板 Huang Lao Ban, which is exactly Boss Huang.
+宋欣睿 哈哈哈哈哈有人的中文带东北口音There is someone speaking Chinese with Northeast accent!!!
+宋欣睿 ay thanks for the info! that's actually really interesting :o
LIT 我的海漂时代 Looking forward to more of your videos
sounds so awkward.. hate how english names sound in chinese.
bintuae1 yet you are so mean, Languages are for communication. Thus, you cant speak someone's English name to another who doesnt speak English. And to be honest, English is not sufficient for pronouncing a Chinese name.
Allen is hilarious haha I'd love to see more of them speaking or trying to speak Chinese haha this was rlly fun to watch!
i am not chinese but foreigner who learns chinese and i love it! i could understand half of what they said and i feel super happy
1:25 OMG 他叫什麼名字 超級喜歡他xDDDDDD
黄宇豪.活捉台湾妹子一只 :)你好啊
必須看TFboys那個視頻 他說他14歲夢想是當KPop star 笑死我😂😂😂😂😂😂（題外話 我剛才看完你的channel 居然這邊看到你的留言呢～
I watch your channel all the time. sorry i cant write chinese from my phone
Mao！！没想到在这里可以捕捉到一只野生MaoXD
MaoMao TV mao!!!
It was pretty obvious that Allen was one of the better Chinese speakers in the group from his intro but goddamn his mom is savage lmao. Still it was obvious she and all the other parents loved their kids a lot and that was really sweet. :')
I'm a Chinese born Indonesian. I speak 3 languages but Chinese is not one of them. Sometimes I feel ashamed because I never spoke it once and I'm really bad at it. I feel like I have to back to my roots.
哈哈
+- It's never too late to learn anything:))
+- Bruh, don't even feel bad. I am of Chinese heritage but lived in Indonesia for 11 years and spent the rest of my life afterwards in the US. I speak 4 languages, but Chinese is not one of them. One at a time!
+- I'm Indonesian born Chinese too. I moved to this particular area where the Chinese Indonesians are very prejudiced against the other Chinese Indonesians who can't speak or understand Chinese e.g from Java areas. They said that those people are uncultured :/ Anyway what languages do you speak?
Pig Killer Speaking Mandarin or any other Chinese dialects was outlawed for a long time in Indonesia, as part of their anti-communist purging. It was outlawed until around 2001, though some provinces didn't enforce the law too much.
i am taiwan chinese, it is very happy to see you all pick up the chinese
even your chinese ability still far behind me haha
but definitely you all speak english ways better than i do
我們一起加油學好中文跟英文！let’s learn chinese and english well together bros and sis!
yhtzou weird flex but ok
90% of the humor came from the Chinese parents just doing their thing. Hilarity ensues.
this was really fun to watch keep up the good work :)
+Robert Tang will do good sir (y) (y)

Sherry Jiang ???
1:25 when you open the fridge and realize that someone took your food without asking
1:24 me realizing that school 🏫is starting again
😂😂
XD OML
Totally here out of my own volition and not because the great director of the video was bribing us with cute emojis on twitter~
But really! The videos get better with each passing week! You guys are all amazing lmao this is both parts super adorable and hilarious hahaha Absolutely subscribed!
+Terry He (何天宇) Your northeastern mandarin accent is really funny!
For me it's also quite complicated: 本来德国人，住了15年北京，8年加拿大，加拿大圈子全是中国人，我中文比英语好。所以呢，我跟我北京老婆在家里现在说的是英语， although that's a foreign language for both of us, 要不然老外中文比英语好。。。太可笑了 :)
为什么妈妈听起来像是同一个人？
我也觉得 哈哈哈
并没有啦。你仔细听，口音是不一样的。
同一个世界同一个妈，哈哈
I've learned Chinese for 3 months. It's so hard but I'm not going to give up!
加油 :)
Lucas Silva jia you!
That was so much fun, gave me a laughing fit I didn't particularly need but certainly enjoyed. Thanks for the entertainment.
The astronaut guy got roasted by his own mother lol.
我是美国人但是我学习中文，我希望我的中文比ABC中文更好！😁
加油！
我是中国人，我们学习英语还有其他诸多小语种语言，我希望我们可以从容自信地和全球各地的朋友交谈自如。
美国人学韩语的挺多的吧，看到kpop频道好多老外
Ariel Morrison
我们13亿人是中国人，但是我们从小都在强制学英文 lol
Ariel Morrison 很棒，加油
Chinese parents crushing your dreams at it's finest 😭😂
太空人那個媽媽好可愛
I speak Cantonlish and Manglinglish and Cantonmanglinese
This seems like an awesome channel! I came to Canada when I was 10 so your channel speaks to me a lot. Where are you guys based at?
+Lily Li the 六ix
您好我的名字是托马斯我说很多语言
I think this is really sweet and I sincerely hope these kids try to hang on to their language whether its Cantonese or Mandarin (did they say?). In America its great to be more than one culture.
他们爸妈一听就是第一代华裔
中文最爛的那個他爸媽好像是第二代華裔
It's sad their children never spoke with them in Chinese before this video was made. I don't find any fun in it.
你怎么知道？
Tracy Li 我完全赞同你的看法，这应该是海外华人普遍的悲哀吧，一个个千方百计的推脱掉讲中文的机会，总是以我的中文不好来给自己多一些讲英文的机会，还觉得自己中文不好很好笑，好笑吗？实为可耻。但是我认为这也是家长的教育中本身就给他们一种英语优先的概念。有一部分其实是假装自己中文很不好，但是其实他们一开口说中文就不攻自破了
James Alexander Huang I think they're just being modest? I couldn't understand, they are Americans, why was it pathetic not to speak Chinese? Being an ethnic Chinese doesn't automatically make you a cultural Chinese ~~~
Btw in my city my local friends are actually more interested in Chinese culture than I do. I found this particularly interesting. The most racist people are Asians themselves, not western culture supremacy:)
long hair girl in white sweater can definitely speak better Chinese than she is willing to display/admit.
they all can speak Chinese, they just choose not to. my kids were born in US, they speak Chinese at home all the time. don't lose this free gift. i still remember how hard that was for me to learn English when i first came to US.
I get the feeling that English is an easy language to learn for Chinese people. Not that English is hard by the standards of global languages but these parents are so more fluent than I'd think it would be for those foreign to English. Very wholesome content, and now I think I'll have to try harder to learn Mandarin. I tried learning it on my own years ago but stopped after learning the pronunciations and some basic words and phrases. Such a beautiful language. Subscribed for more awesomeness. :D
I’m korean/chinese/American and oh my god 😂😂
ᄒᄒᄒ Reaaaally?? aww
아..진짜요?
Oh that’s really cool 😊
@Im Makkachoking its possible if one of their parents is mixed too
Im a korean/ japanese/ chinese/ african-american cat.
This channel is......
....lit
I feel SAD watching this. It reminds me how beautiful the Chinese language is. That's it, I'll move back to China before my daughters grow up.
3:30
"啊? 我是你最喜欢的孩子?"
"还有小龙"
"你只有两个" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
东北口音
YES!! ONE CANTONESE SPEAKING PERSON!
那个杨佳柠说话好像北京人
Their Chinese is really good actually! The conversations are super funny!
I feel so happy I speak both Chinese and English like a native speaker
Marcus Cheung are you lowkey flexing on us? 😂😂
Chaoxiang Alula 嗯
我有点不理解了，他们中文不是非常好么，怎么一开始都说自己中文不好？
谦虚是美德……
大概是自我要求高。他们可能真的觉得自己说得不好 其实都很不错了
***** 何止是不错，简直就跟我们没区别好么？
sunshine gap 说是可以但写还不知道 还有用词这些
其实让他们把面前的屏幕扔掉、再来面对面做一些日常交流、就会觉得是在和外国人说话了ω
Aww... I was so excited b/c Jen was the only one I actually understood w/o subs since she spoke Canto...but that died in like 5 sec. LOL
And omfg I love Allen's mom hahahahah she was so blunt "You don't have a single muscle on your body!" LOOOOL...
oh oh oh... and I'm here b/c FREAKING TERRY KEPT SPAMMING ON MY TWITTER FEED ABOUT THIS... so yeah... :]
these guys really speak great Chinese, even i can heard of dialects. but why they still say they can't speak Chinese? is that a sensitive question?
you have a right to question
haha, definitely,
I think it may be because most of their families are native Chinese speakers so in comparison, they don't believe they can speak it when they're still better than most non-native speakers.
they have cheat sheet so they wont have to think what to say or how to say
maybe because they just know how to speak it，can not read or write Chines,so they r not confident about chinese
I just love this video. I’ve watched it about 5 times now
哈哈，被媽媽吐槽不能當太空人的那段笑死我了wwwwwwwwwwww
应该来看看马来西亚，四五代了，华语说的那个溜啊！我去过中国两次，说自己的本地人他们深信不疑哈哈哈哈
没错，马来西亚华人都是语言天才。
Joyce Lau 哇 好想去马来西亚看看
就目前所遇到的华人中,马来华人是对中国大陆最友好的华人.可能是在马来被压迫的很,对中国同胞那种同宗同祖的.新加坡华人就一般了.西方的华人更不行.
Class Vintage 我只能说大陆不止一种口音。就我所知，长江以南更多种，只是如今因为政治原因，北方口音和用词占上风。
馬來西亞华人非常保守自己的文化语言！非常值得赞！只可惜馬來西亞始终還是以马来人为主，华人几乎无用武之地
