    Eddy's Chinese is actually impressive, he can write quite a lot of Chinese, he can express his thought quite clearly in Chinese, and he can understand Chinese quite well. But Brett's pronunciation is great. I'm not saying that Eddy's is bad, I know they both have (very cute!) accents, but when I video chat with them and tell them my Chinese name (an uncommon kind of weird one lol), Brett pronounced it 400% correctly straightaway! So they have their own advantage, just like their violin playing lol!

    Jokes aside, considering they didn't learn a lot of Chinese and most likely doesn't use it often, the test results are quite a pleasant surprise. And it's impressive that they still remember the 注音符號 (phonetic notations), which I think can be hard to remember if you're not using them much.

      @@alphazeta321 Ah, I don't think so. You find it hard because you are not surrounded by Chinese characters every day. When I was a kid, I found it fun to practice recognizing Chinese characters because I wanted to figure out what the signs on the streets mean. First we recognize the shape of each character, and then we learn to write them. Chinese characters are basically symbols. If you have images in your mind when you see the characters, you will find it more easy to remember them.

Just like Eddy said even for the same word it has different intonation, by combining different sounds we’re able to tell the meaning.

      Your mandarin is really impressive!! Just a little reminder that 國語 means the language of your country, the phrase itself doesn't stands for mandarin(Chinese). So for instance, in Indonesia, 國語 can also be Indonesian and not necessary mandarin.

    • @dontdrinkchlorine

      @@unknownch.3327 It depends on whether you want to learn traditional or simplified Chinese.
      Traditional uses 注音, and simplified uses romanization. You can check if your mother language is connected to English or Chinese. It might be easier for Japanese to use 注音 because Japanese is actually related to traditional Chinese, while you may feel easier to learn Chinese with romanization if you're an English speaker.
      Btw if you want to go abroad, another point to note is simplified is used in China, Malaysia and Singapore. Traditional is used in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau.

    As someone who has experienced 1st grade Chinese, taking a test was a nightmare... It happens very often but it still scares me because the teacher will show off your bad grade to the WHOLE class WITHOUT even warning you.

      How about korean, Japanese and vietnamese? The three have their usage problem. You still need studying some Chinese before try answering these things.

    As a Chinese, I can say that Eddy and Brett's skills are much more better than some of the people in my school despite learning it since we were like 3. But still, very impressive!

    🤣 I’ve been learning Chinese for 3 years (traditional) so I know your struggle. Great video.
    Edit: After 3 years and not practicing 40 hours a day, I can officially say I got an F for level 1 😅 (can read the characters, but can only write some from memory).
    Brett and Eddy did great!

      @@HyperZhou I completely agree. I know 2 languages natively, and I’ve studied 3. I must say that Chinese has been the hardest, but it’s just so beautiful! Traditional characters also carry more meaning for me, so they are easier to remember (when reading), but for writing they are killer. 😂

      @@jasonstimecapsule77 Please see the traditional Chinese characters as "pictures" because they are all symbols. They are with more strokes not because they are more complicated, but because they are more complete pictures.
      Let's try comparing two Chinese characters: 龙 and 龍. They both mean "dragon." Which one is easier for you to tell its meaning from the first sight?

    Interesting challenge. I'm surprised at how Eddy holds his pen (Brett's pen holding is perfect). With so much precision about how to hold a bow, I'm surprised he doesn't hold his pen in a better (and more comfortable) way. Carry on the great and thoughtful videos boys! Love them.

    Ok sorry guys I'm doing this again, leaving multiple comments because I started to watch this video the third time lol And I'm now reading their answers closely, and here are some cute little details I noticed!
    2:04 Brett wrote "grandma 奶“ as "that 那” lol For non-Chinese speaking folks, you guys can see these two are similar but different right lol
    2:44 I noticed that Brett kinda confused at the tone (the four ā、á、ǎ、à lol), he made multiple mistakes because he spell the tone wrong;
    3:19 that cute little arrow Eddy drew to point at his correct answer lol I do that too when I was little lol
