      Will you consider a Taiwanese characters challenge (Chinese) or a Jawi (Malay Arabic script) challenge? For the former you can consider using 常用國字標準字體筆順學習網 for reference, for the latter you can ask those who took Malay linguistics

    Bolin and Renae are complementary opposites.
    Bolin is good at both written and spoken Chinese.
    He can be wonderful at spoken English 99% of the time but when he messes up it is hilarious!
    Renae is good at both written and spoken English.
    And as seen in this video she can be wonderful at spoken Chinese, her confident accent is replete with gusto and vitality. However during the small instances when she gets the pronunciation off target it still makes people smile and lightens all our moods!
    I am imagining an event where Bolin and Renae are the emcees.
    With Bolin speaking English and Renae speaking Chinese!
    Wow!
    And wow!
    And wow wow wow!

      @sklim7248 4 года назад +36

      Agree. It is depressing when people are not embarrassed by what they should be embarrassed about.

    • @rayroar1117
      @rayroar1117 4 года назад +30

      Embarassment may not work. Inspiration and encouragement will work better instead!
      Best part? With embarrassment techniques there is a certain quota before the recipient gets fed up.
      But with encouragement and inspiration techniques there is no quota. You can rest and carry on the encouragement tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that!
      The best best part? Encouragement and inspiration techniques that you find are effective for others can be effective when used on yourself too.
      I mean, seriously, given a choice, would you embarrass yourself or inspire yourself?
      So why would you expect others to embarass themselves?

    @rayroar1117 4 года назад +3

    Hi Renae,
    I have got a very achievable request for you.
    By doing this one (1) thing you could potentially lift 10 people out of depression, prevent 100 fights, bring about 1000 nights of good sleep, create 10,000 smiles and induce 100,000 thoughts of goodwill towards the future of humanity.
    And those numbers are just humble and conservative estimates.
    This is what you have to do:
    Whenever Sew is having a bad day, just go and talk to her, but here is the pro-tip --> talk to her in your confidently accented Chinese voice just like how you did in this video.
    While you are speaking in your wonderful accented Chinese voice Sew beside you is absolutely enjoying herself.
    She starts laughing at every single word!
    With every word of yours capable of inducing cheeriness, if you speak to her like this, how is it possible for dullness and melancholy to ever invade her life? It is impossible!
    And look at how many videos on TSL's YouYube channel has Sew as the producer.
    Every single one of those videos can lift people out of depression, prevent fights, bring about nights of good sleep, create smiles and induce thoughts of goodwill towards the future of humanity.
    With your beautiful spoken word, with her skill as a video producer, and with the powerful leverage of the internet, don't you think all of the above is possible?
