Louisa’s English has the most substance. Her choice of words is remarkable. She seems the most educated. Gotta give it to her cos the British accent isn’t the easiest to emulate. Good speaking is about substance & not form! You can speak in a heavy Hong Kong accent but your English can still stand out if you can articulate your thoughts well with well chosen vocabulary. Don’t let your natural accent hinder your articulation! American & Canadian accent is the easiest to pickup even if you’re not born there. Speaking from experience living in Canada before. If you can’t do North American accents, you can’t do accents at all!
By the way , i heard that only michele has the cantonese accent but others do not.. HK people 's Spoken English already one of the best among Asian countries. Indian speak English with Indian accent who care ?
@@youandshelovesme Correct your mistakes of third-person singular in your sentence before saying “HK people's spoken English already one of the best among Asian countries‘‘
Not sure why people complaining about what’s the point of the video? Seriously if you don’t like it then don’t watch it. This video does have some purpose to see how well they speak. You can criticize or compliment of their accent or communicate skill. I don’t think it is a bad thing as long you not put some hateful comment.
Agree! It’s substance not form. Good English is judged based on the words you use & not just the accent. Louisa appears to be the most highly educated of them all. Perfect accent with limited vocabulary is no better than a kid. Besides, the British accent is the hardest to emulate. American & Canadian accents are easily picked up overnight. Speaking from experience.
Maybe because of her living enviroments are mostly attached with the chinese speakers? idk If shes spoke chinese in most of her youth.. chances are she'll def have a accent. lol
She probably grew up in an area with a large Asian population and hung around a lot of Chinese people. And she probably spoke Cantonese a lot at home and that probably influenced her accent.
@@kl7342 Same in Australia. Lots of abcs here have a slight Chinese accent. I grew up in a very Asian area and most of my friends are Asian, but I have a strong Australian accent. And I think it's because I spent a lot of time listening to the radio and watching Aussie TV shows when I was growing up.
What a lot of people don't realise is that a lot of HK celebrities (especially the Miss HK pageant contestants) were either born overseas or received education overseas, hence why their english proficiency is very high. But it is still interesting to see celebrities that I grew up watching speaking english, since I'm so used to seeing them speak cantonese only.
of the asian born ones, fala seems to speak the most natural english. Jessica just exudes sophistication and style. so my question for the canto speakers, can you hear an accent when they speak canto? i can hear it in eliza and linda
Personally, I wouldn't judge or compare people's accents or pronunciations. Though I also wouldn't lie that I prefer listening to a certain type of accents or a certain level of fluency in English, because it is actually pleasing to hear people speaking fluent English or with British Accent (my personal preference). And I think it is ok to compliment people's English even it was their native language. I guess part of it is because those people are usually at least bilingual and even they had the advantage of learning English, they still need to spend actual time and efforts on mastering both Chinese and English.
To me one's command of English is more than just accents and pronunciations. It's how they express themselves and use the vocabulary as well. Are they trying to say something meaningful or just do they just keep churning out cliches? So far only Fala Chen and Bernice Liu sound intelligent and fluent to me, the others sound like bimbos.
It really doesn't matter what kind of slang or the accent they speak, it is matter of people know what are you taking about. For those who born and raised up or study abroad since very young in English native countries they will likely speak better. But it doesn't make them superior than the person who speak like a Chinese slang.
@@kelvinella People who was born or raised in an English speaking country usually take big advantages. Mak obviously is a native Hongkonger who learned English as a second language.
朱千雪's interviewer lol i love her tone. I like 宣萱 for her a little bit british accent. I'm most impress with 徐子珊. Hers isn't the best considering she grew up in Hong Kong but it's very close to the ones who grew up in Canada and America. It's way better then 黃心穎 and 倪晨曦 who grew up in Canada. 岑麗香, 陳凱琳, 鍾嘉欣, 朱千雪, 雷莊兒 and 邵珮詩 are Canadian. 陳法拉 and 張曦雯 are American. So they have the typical american accent. It would be cool if 麥明詩 stay in Aussie. She would have gotten a Australian accent which is way better then the american accent.
It's also because she had a script. So it was probably rehearsed, or at least she didn't have to come up with the proper vocabulary and grammar on the spot like during an interview.
their mother togue is almost English, so I am not just surprised. However, I guess Kate Tsui’s mother togue is not English, so it's amazing that she can speak such beautiful Engish.

請問一班外國出生，長大(母話)或授教育(第一語言)的華人，英語流利有什麼值得贊賞或驚訝?
講得非常之好，在英美澳加出生的華人，基本上英語就是他們的母語，學習和生活上都會經常用到，所以沒有什麼驚訝之處。除非他們還通曉其他國家語言(例如西班牙文，法文等)，就另當別論。同樣道理，中文是我們的母語，寫作上和談話中經常會用到，在外國華人的眼中，難道這些是我們令人讚賞和驚訝的地方？
