      Yes china is not very multicultural in comparison to the west, and rarely are foreigners born and raised there so, its not often they find white people speaking their language which unless you are specifically interested in china is not very useful when compared to English which is more globally used for communication and business. and with the amount of asians born in western countries plus them learning english in primary school where we would learn french or spanish typically, well its not a shock to see asians speaking english.

    • @MichaelBeale
      @MichaelBeale 4 года назад +25

      Auron has the right answer here. I would also add, if we're being totally honest with ourselves-English is just a much easier language. The difference in reactions seems pretty justified to me? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    • @adamp_
      @adamp_ 4 года назад +6

      ​@@MichaelBeale that's very debatable, this seems to me like a fish don't know they're in water situation. The things that make languages easy or hard to learn depend a lot on what languages you already speak; Generally speaking the closer the language is to you native language (or any language you speak), the easier it would be to learn. So if you're a dutch or spanish speaker, english isn't gonna be the hardest language out there, but for speakers of non indo-european languages english isn't that much easier than mandarin is to us. Obviously this is not the only factor, but having learned mandarin I don't find that it's that much harder than english, both are very analytic languages, which means it lacks the sorts of grammatical inflections and irregularities that trip people up so much in synthetic languages. In addition the writing system isn't as hard as people make it out to be, it doesn't feel that much more different than just learning vocab in any other language, you just learn the characters as you go. It is still hard and has an extra layer of memorization (at least at first), but I don't think the challenge it presents is that different from the challenge of learning the obtuse spelling system in english.

      Might run into one or two, but I'm guessing he pays for these lessons via language-learning sites, so the teachers aren't going to mind that much. It's not like he's not compensating them.

    Glad you used the term "advanced" in your title, rather than "pErFeCt" like those boastful clowns.

    How to say " home run " or " shortstop " in Chinese ? Ask your instructors.

    I like how they were kind because often Chinese can put you down for bad tones too quickly putting people off

    Great video man. Would love to see you do Xiaoma style videos where you go around chinese neighborhoods and speak to them =]

      Thank you. I’d also like to do the same thing; just waiting for the pandemic situation to clear up before making moves like that

      Lol old Chinese people though! You gotta have advanced Chinese skills to understand those thick pre-Mao era dialects

    Monkey abroad’s mandarin pronunciation is actually better than some of the teachers in the video.

    你的漢字閱讀很好. You are such a troller...funny stuff! You really fooled them at the beginning. The four tones in Chinese are not easy to master especially for English speaking people. 👍 I was so amazed with your reading comprehension ability in the characters. Right on and happy for you! 😀
