Kieran, could you come to South China Agriculture University of Guangzhou? I have noticed you channel over last a month, it's interesting and funny, I want to have a good opportunity to be interviewed by you!
Kieran, I love your videos so much! Hopefully that you can visit Changsha City, which is my hometown, and have a street interview like this at Central South University.
I would say in most cases, this is absolutely the real fact in China. We have little chace to use it, to practice it. When I was a student, I hated English but I quite admired those who can speak english fluently. We suffer a lot for putting tons of effort to learn a foreigh language without any occation to practice it, to speak it out. That ends up a big failure, wasting huge time and resource, and badly demanging every learner's confidence. By the way, I must thank to my english teacher while I'm the third year of a high-school. He did great job. Instead of teaching us, he was always spending 80% of the time in class to bring the most interesting things happening around the world to us, vivily, which also siginificantly openned my eyes. Now I'm working for an international company for multiple years. Before joining this company, I realize the most useful method to get this ticket is to get my speaking as native/fluent as possible, I mean not the tone for the first step, but the way of expression. For me, personally, I would recommend anyone who were/are suffering from learning English, the primary thing for that is to speak like a native speaker. Once you're able to communicate, then you should be interested in learning more vocabularies, more advance expression. Our education system needs to think about that as well, but it's said that English will be placed into a less significant level. I don't know how it will work, but anyway, speaking fluently is the first step and key to success of learnig any language. Just as the way we speak mandarine.
It is true that English teaching and learning in China are not so successful. Maybe our students need more opportunities and confidence to speak English rather than learning boring vocabulary in the classroom. It is not the students' and even teachers' fault but this is a critical issue needing to be improved.
Kind of the same thing happens in the US, although we don't start studying foreign languages so early and we're not under so much test pressure. We study a language, and then often we don't have any opportunity to use it. We just study from a boring textbook. So then later, we have no ability to use the language that we studied because we forgot everything or don't have any confidence. Most of the time, it's not a problem because very few people go abroad because it's too expensive. However, people do make fun of us because unless you learned a language from your family (because you are Hispanic or American Chinese, for example), Americans usually can't speak another language.
I am always amazed at no matter how broken some non English speakers sound, English native speakers can always understand them😂 I’m from China but I lived in the west for many years. What I’ve noticed is that Koreans are the ones who are most good at English among the three East Asian countries. ( China japan Korea). I also sense that most of the time, Caucasian or native English speakers don’t really laugh at Chinese people’s English level, they are rather patient and showing kindness, however it is usually Chinese people themselves like to be harsh on themselves, super critical, picking on every little mistakes that you make and laugh at you. I sometimes wonder why Chinese people are so harsh on their own people?
I think in general Chinese people are harsh on each other because of a competitive nature... from primary school to full-time employment, everyone has to compete in order to put bread on the table
This is pretty true. Foreigners are way more forgiving that actual Chinese people XD. For example recently cathay pacific had an incident where their flight attendents were fired because they made fun of a passenger's English to their face.
May I ask the maker of video a question? what is your background? why do you speak both of english and chinese? how did you make a notable achievement?
@@aznm3 Your videos are excellent,really. I was attracted by your vioces, standard in both of English and Chinese. I told myself that I try to learn the way you use English. I ought to remember these English sentence patterns and try to make my expressions in english more authentic. I have been spending lots of time to study English, every day, althrough I study english very hard, but I feel the effect is not good, sometimes I get frustrated with the results. the main reason is that I was not immersed in english-speaking environment, without many chances. My aim to learn english is to abtain useful infos and knowledge in english world. My strategy was to read english books ,magezines and newspapers from 2006-2015, later I put my attention on listening and speaking English. In a word, I am not satisfied with english, because I cant not understand news and movies well without subtitles on RUclips, nor can I express myself fluently and idiomatic like a native speaker, although I can absorb knowledge by reading english, which is a great help to my work, because I am a programmer in Shanghai.
Kieran has such a personable and authentic vibe. Keep the videos coming, super interesting!
Appreciate the love and good vibes
Keep doing this type of video. it helps me. Thanks.

China should be more like India because people in India speak great English
Good video man
Thanks bro
You are a Kindness person to awake students to learn more English in daily life . Good job ~
Thanks!
I learnt speaking English by watching the Cardassians as well, but in Star Trek. :)
7:58 所以说兴趣是最好的老师
Being forced to learn is totally different from perusing something you’re interested in!
Hainan univercity is 211-level。

Hi Jeffrey, I'm chinese but I grew up in Australia. That's why my English and Chinese are both terrible

8:01 he looks so exiting.😂
There are SO many NBA fans in China! There was also a fan in the Fudan interview too
Nevertheless people in this video can understand and speak basic english.
Ying yang😂
还好！不算流利
真的还很好
Use normal English proficiency test to measure them.
原來只有這程度

连自己学的专业名字都不记得，不会用英语说。
有必要嗎？他們學的專業學科不一定需要用到英文。Landscape and gardening
@@fannyalbi9040 我想说的是，我上大学的第一周就知道，大学的英文名字以及学的专业的英文名。因为招生简章里面和录取通知书，里面就是中英文的
