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.
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

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.
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
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 laughed so hard at this video. :D It was so cute to hear their parents' responses, and they all did great! I'm an ABC currently learning Chinese, and I would be thrilled if I could have a conversation like this with my parents someday. Just subscribed to this channel!
+LIT 我的海漂时代 Even though I don't speak Chinese at all I could recognize 加油! even in my sleep . Xie xie for doing these videos . I hope in the future we can see more videos like that . It would be nice if they'd be introduced to C-Pop with artists like 张艺兴 , 吴亦凡 , 黄子韬 , 鹿晗 and also variety shows like 快乐大本营 . 谢谢 & 加油 !
+Beatrice Elena Completely agree 1111%. I didn't get into asian pop culture until like several months ago (even though I've been living in China for several years，我觉得学中文真的特别累啊), but I'm just so happy to be able to fall back on my Chinese cause without it I'd need subtitles for everything and subtitles are constantly inaccurate. 黄子韬 on Charming Daddy is pretty funny. XD
@@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.
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! From Greece ❤🇨🇳❤🇬🇷 (Also I love hua chenyu ❤) Edit 9 April 2021: yall i gave up like a week after.. it's too hard 😭
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.💙💛🧡
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.
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!
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.
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 😂
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. 😂
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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. :')
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 :)
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!
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.
+- 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!
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 :)
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:)
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.
都是一样的肤色，但不同的文化氛围真的是会影响一个人的精神面貌。we're all yellow, but growing up in a different environment really defines who you actually turn out to be. in average, chinese locals are much more introvert than American born chinese. i really adore yr confidence and love those contagious vibes you guys deliver. 😍
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.

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.!’
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

Yes , they do , they usually ask dad where mom is

*Calls the half that doesn't speak Chinese*
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。

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
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！
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.
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。”

说得很好啊，而且口音还在，那浓浓的东北味～哈哈哈
1:25 when you open the fridge and realize that someone took your food without asking
When his mom said he could never be an astronaut... that was just the best! xD
This feels more like a prank than a challenge hahahaha
“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
Surprisingly most of them still retain their chinese accents when they speak chinese
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!
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

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.
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
"Mom I love Dad more"
"That's fine!"
Lmaooo
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
The astronaut guy got roasted by his own mother lol.

+Robert Tang will do good sir (y) (y)
Robert Tang z
Sherry Jiang ???
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
90% of the humor came from the Chinese parents just doing their thing. Hilarity ensues.
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
That was so much fun, gave me a laughing fit I didn't particularly need but certainly enjoyed. Thanks for the entertainment.
Chinese parents crushing your dreams at it's finest 😭😂
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 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.
I speak Cantonlish and Manglinglish and Cantonmanglinese
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.
3:54 SHE SINGLE HANDEDLY CRUSHED HIM, I CANT 😂
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!
太空人那個媽媽好可愛
Abc的中文都很好啊 口音都很地道。加拿大那个混血妹子特别亮眼
哈哈哈有几个还带东北口音 好搞笑
对啊，我觉得撇开词汇量，单说发音，都还是很地道了。
同意，那發音根本不覺得是abc啦
哭笑不得😂😂 不行啦要死了
哈哈，我儿子的发音也很地道…但词汇量有限，不会读不会写…
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
3:19 " Ma do you like me"
Mom: "Ofcorse I do! If I didn't like you, who would I like"
😂😂😂😂
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've learned Chinese for 3 months. It's so hard but I'm not going to give up!
加油 :)
Lucas Silva jia you!
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
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
+Jackie Lee 大碴子是什么
东北话的意思
东北话
卧槽睁不开双眼
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
I just love this video. I’ve watched it about 5 times now
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
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 :)
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:)
It's cute how they have a phone conversation with their mothers❤
他们中文發音方面很準確，不像真的老外，說起中文口音怪怪的腔調。
他们家裡應該都有用普通話，否則不可能發出挺標準的普通話口音。
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.
(3:34) as he said "but you have only 2 childrens" i was so HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Ikr that’s so cute haahahahha He also has Dongbei accent which is super cute and hilarious
都是一样的肤色，但不同的文化氛围真的是会影响一个人的精神面貌。we're all yellow, but growing up in a different environment really defines who you actually turn out to be. in average, chinese locals are much more introvert than American born chinese. i really adore yr confidence and love those contagious vibes you guys deliver. 😍
Mom: "You don´t have a single muscle on your body! Yet you still believe you can be an astronaut!"
Omg loved so hard at this onexD
+Vanessa Z ha the mom is savage
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
It's so fun to watch when ur ABC too and you're fluent in both English and 中文
I’m just shook about how amazing the girl’s pronounciations are like
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Edit: I see want want cookie and now I’m jealous
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... :]
This channel is......
