Your parents are just so darn cute! So amazing how he just absorbed himself into your mother’s culture and Hong Kong. That’s love of her and her culture.
My cousins are trilingual. Dad (my uncle) is British, mum is Russian and they grew up in Germany. They speak English with my uncle, Russian with their mum and German as a family (yes I'm jealous, I'm rubbish at languages).
I know it’s common practice in countries that aren’t America to know more than one language but it’s still mind blowing watching this girl speak to both her Chinese mom and French dad in their native languages so fluidly 😍❤️
I don't think being monolingual is exclusively an American thing...walk north for thirty seconds to the mainland and then see how multilingual people are.
uamdbro I speak three languages too, but most Americans I know that WERENT born to international parents know English only. I spoke only from my understanding and personal experience, so I apologize if you got butthurt over it.
@@fakytup It has nothing to do with whether or not most Americans are monolingual, it has to do with your implication that being monolingual is only an American thing.

As another Malaysian, just need to say the durian meat is yeet hay but the durian shell is not yeet hay. Remember to add some warm water with salt in the inner shell and drink it after eat.
Amazing! The dad really speaks Canto well. Such a notoriously difficult dialect to learn. He really manages magnificently. Even down to the tones which are the hardest part really!
@@andreashelton yeethay food is basically heaty food. its based on chinese culture always seeing certain foods are more 'cool' and certain food are more 'hot' after you eat it and itll affect your body. an example is i get period cramps alot and they believe its bc my body (inside) is too 'cool' so my food intake has too much cool things in my diet. this include food like cucumber, lettece, tomato or cold water and cold drinks in general. but too much intake of either heaty food or cooling food is bad for you alot of times people focus on heaty which is yeet hay. my mom always say if im growing pimples etc its bc i eat too much heaty food if you search up heaty food itll explain it more xd
@@malaysianinukfoofoo4763 oh...anyway i guess the reason why your husband is so reluctant to learn mandarin is because you guys are currently living in UK and he sees no actual usage in learning it(plus it's not an ez language to pickup assuming that he's a native english speaker), maybe he might be more compelled to learn it if you guys were living in china or taiwan..j lou's dad learned canto too because he was staying in hk.

Got to give it to the French, I've noticed that the French really try to integrate in HK, whether it language or culture even names! More than many others.

My dad always told me that one of the reasons we drink hot or room temperature water (basically not cold or ice water) is cos it’s closer temperature to the water in our body or something
Durian is consider to be "hot air", too much of it is like eating too much " lon an". As with anything, have it in moderate proportions. However, Americans don't seem to have "hot air" problems.. Not sure why though.
"Why do you keep saying thank you?"
"because I wanna leave." HAHAHAHA YOUR DAD IS SO FUNNY!
Lmao yea
OMG when your mother walked into the room and "wahh", it's so cute! xD

As someone who’s born and raise in Malaysia, where durian is the pride of Malaysians, i can tell everyone that Durian is yeet hay!!!
tootarcuuu I used to always hv sore throat n fever after having durian. But I still rather fall sick than not to hv durian😆
tootarcuuu i can definitely vouch for u!!!
As another Malaysian, just need to say the durian meat is yeet hay but the durian shell is not yeet hay. Remember to add some warm water with salt in the inner shell and drink it after eat.
YA CAN GET FEVER SIAL
My sis had a nose bleed after eating durian lol
😂😂 your dad is exactly right about the rice water! He is a true Chinese, using the rice water to fertilize the plants!!
其實我發現，在香港的外國人對於香港人的身份認同非常高！
他們會很喜歡這裡，強調香港人的身份。
也希望別人認為他是“香港人”，而不是“英國人”“美國人”“法國人”等等
真的很神奇！而且粵語都說的很好😂
係 而且好融入
之前係淺水灣餐廳遇過兩個英國女士 兩母女來
一個60 一個都80幾 佢地啲廣東話超級標準 無口音 完全係local！！！好犀利
咁你仲話人地係香港的外國人？應該講非華裔香港人
somehow they love HK more than local does
