English is my second language and although I feel confortable with it is never the same as when you can speak your native language muscle memory is more fluent and relaxed
This last weekend I went to the Mall of America to "Relaxing Massage," a *family-owned* Chinese massage business that has been around for many years at that mall (even when some of the big brands come and go). I went there because I'm learning Mandarin, and wanted to hear and try speaking to someone in real life for the first time ever. I asked my massage lady where she's from and she said Hong Kong. I mentioned that I picked up a little Cantonese but was mainly learning Mandarin, but then right away she went full-blown Cantonese XD I tried to say that I know A LITTLE of it. So I said "Hello, my name is Alex," and "Nice to meet you." None of which she was impressed by. It didn't help that my face was buried in that hole, but overall it was an odd experience. I could recognize words to get the overall general sentence/topic, but I was so panicked that I managed to forget over a year's worth of Mandarin, so I was panicking, stuttering, and going "uuuuh" so much. There's a lot more to it, but it was an awkward first start, and I think she thought I was crazy... But hey, I'm going to put my head down and keep learning so that next time she *doesn't* think I'm some dolt :D
Overthinking is how you stop yourself from learning a language. I'm studying Japanese and just attempted my first full dialogue on Busuu. I know it probably sounds bad, but at least they understand what I mean 😂
I think a lot of people forget that children have horrible grammar when they first start speaking. I think the best approach to learning a language is to learn all the common words then start getting deeper into the language
Strong accent in Canto. Pretty impressed. Am half Chinese and half German and finally bucked up and really started learning German again, my mum spoke to me in Canto throughout my childhood so I can speak but never knew how to write... Definitely making me wish I knew the written theory though!
Written is the easiest part. Just get hsk flashcards and there are practice readers to get you used to reading. At least for mandarin it's pretty easy imo
What a smart clever n humble chap...you put many of us of Chinese descent to shame with your impeccable..flawless Mandarin n your spoken Cantonese...Your are Cool...GUY!👏👍
This is awesome. The first part the lady was so happy and sweet and outgoing. But so quiet before she knew you spoke Cantonese.. makes you stop and think for a sec.
"--Makes People Feel at Home" thank you for your non exploitative titles and approach. Subscribing just for that distinction. Good luck on the Cantonese journey!
Exactly.....unlike xiaomanyc keeps boasting himself about his "perfect" Chinese. His "click bait" titles are such a turn off with words that he uses such as how he "shocks" people. If he was a bit more humble, I'd subscribe to him.
I don't know about the others but I need a review of the food you bought in each video 😂 When you we're ordering, I was like oohh what's that wuuu sounds good and then my tummy goes gratatatata 😂
You're doing great, especially at just 3 months. Keep up the Canto as much as you can, because even my Canadian-born Chinese ass will flatten my accent a bit and forget vocab if I'm exhausted or haven't used it in over a month
It's must be really happy for her knowing a white guy can speak English , Mandarin then Cantonese. Her sour face turned into smiling face , then big laughing face after each language ....Amazing lady. 😯😯
It'd be fun to go back home one day and see how my mandarin holds up in my city's Chinatown. Even if you know just the basics people are still blown away most of the time, even in the country itself.
First person that really opened me up to language, i took the FLR course and he would actually skype his clients for personal 1 on 1 sessions. Laoshu was a genius. gone too soon.
Yeah, we put totally random stuff on our shirt. I think it's because we care more about the visual aesthetics than the underlying meaning. It's also quite often to see random English phrase and sometimes even fascist symbolism.
It is a beautiful thing when someone wants to learn another language. It shows you are a open-minded person and willing to accept other cultures. Your Cantonese is very good. Heck, your Potunghao is better than mine. Wish more people in this world and especially in the US would be more open minded to people who can speak another language. Seeing too much racism right now. Keep it up, you are truly an Ambassador to the human race.
This is the first time I saw your video, i'm happy that you're learning my native language - Cantonese :) I was so surprised that you said there aren't many Cantonese speaking foreigners around😳 Don't worry, there are about 100 millions(native about 80 millions) Cantonese speakers in the world 😏 haha
Not trash at all. Shouldn't be so hard on yourself, but that must be your way of motivating yourself. Your Cantonese has gotten so good. At least to me, it has. I better get cracking because I don't use it as much as I used to. Well, at least I still have Taishanese to fall back on.:) Keep up the good Canto!
语言真的是一门艺术，从刚开始这位大姐的谨慎拘谨，到后来的眉开眼笑。这么快的一个转变就是因为老马在用她家乡的语言和她交流，这使得人与人之间一下子就拉近了距离。尤其是远在异国的这些人们会感到些许的熟悉与温暖。
Awww the first lady is so nice. Crazy how much personality comes out of people when you can really understand each other
Yup. The smile and joy is just unmatched.

注意到一个细节，老马的手机系统都是中文。为你点赞！其中在中国生活的很多博主，他们的普通话都非常好，但他们用的手机以及一些其他产品时还都是英文。
然而这也是学习一种学习外语的方法，我在学英文的时候也会这样做。手机系统全部设置成英文，电影，美剧，甚至动画片，综艺节目全看英文的，不会单词就去查阅。
没有语言环境就去创造一个，这样沉浸式的学习会让自己进步的更快。
真的。我玩电脑游戏都设置成english 学的老快了 每2分钟查一次字典因为一堆不认识的词 😂

Love how she commends him for good Cantonese...and then says 'it'll be 20 mins' 🤣
你的廣東話給人有一份親切感，半鹹不淡。
1 year from now you better be fluent in cantonese and impress people with both. inspired by laoshu
Laoshu's legacy will live on.
funny, I made my comment /\ and then saw yours!

昨天看到你们两个手牵手在montgomery mall 逛街!画面特别温馨！ 第二次在Rockville附近遇到你（第一次在大中华买菜遇到你们）算是一种缘分 哈哈哈哈哈！必须留言支持一下！支持你们的视频！
哇 这么巧啊！下次过来打个招呼吧！😊
雖然早就知道老馬會說5門語言，但成年後才學的普通話，還能講到母語者水平才是讓我最佩服的。同樣的方法學廣東話要達到完全流利只是時間問題而已。
As a native Cantonese speaker, 我可以很负责任的说, 你的自学广东话, 真系讲得好好, 好过好多在香港生活了十年的外国人
吹水都吹得好少少 佢咁樣都叫標準？仲as a native Cantonese speaker 添 好明顯有口音 話中帶北方口音 我覺得佢身為一個精通咁多外語既學習者黎講 口音既細節對佢黎講真係重中之重 佢仲成日強調口音呢樣野 可以留言叫佢改善口音 香港人如果對外國人講廣東話既基準仲係咁低咁廣東話就黎滅絕架啦

Chris is now going for the Zlatan Ibrahimovic look.
真系好犀利，作为一个广州人的我，对老马的粤语给99分，太劲啦
These vids never get old for me. Fan from Australia 👍🇦🇺
Your Cantonese will be so good!!
你得嘅！👍👍
你是真的是口语天才， 一般人最多就掌握1-2门已经是极限的了， 除非很小的时候就学。
京腔和粤语都能说！马老师真的不错👍
What a smart clever n humble chap...you put many of us of Chinese descent to shame with your impeccable..flawless Mandarin n your spoken Cantonese...Your are Cool...GUY!👏👍
粤语粉丝举个手
广西的粤语使用者举手，虽然跟广东那边讲的还是有点区别，但是看油管香港那些没有字幕的粤语视频还是没压力的
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
想问问想学粤语如何学呀，需不需要报个班 学基础呢
佛山嘅粉丝举手
馬來西亞的！
老马在学外语的热情上无论什么时候都丝毫不减，一遇到可以练习的机会就不会轻易放过，值得学习。
我看你視頻都都兩年了，原來你懂講廣東話，我以香港人聽，你真的講得不錯👍🏻
You archived this level in 3 months? Unbelievable. You are genius.
老马是语言天才，还真不是什么方法就可以达到你这个水平的！
這種水平要是用對方法心態正確，要達到其實完全可以的。天才與否說的其實只是你能學得多快而已。
真的说的很好👍 我在珠海7年，其实会听95%， 但是不好意思讲，所以说不好。来加拿大第一份工作在香港人办的报社上班，他们除了说不标准的英语就是广东话，就这样我都不肯屈服说粤语，在办公室尬聊英语和自己的同胞！想想那场景。。
你的廣東話真糸講得非常好👍
This is awesome. The first part the lady was so happy and sweet and outgoing. But so quiet before she knew you spoke Cantonese.. makes you stop and think for a sec.
我也是在美國學粵語的，哈哈哈！去了西雅圖，Chinatown都講粵語
犀利喔👍🏻 加油！！
我个人认为如果你的思维方式都是用中文来想的那么恭喜你，你的中文已经是顶峰了！
The fact that you have 199k views and only 5k likes is a damn shame. This videos are awesome man. Absolutely love the reactions. Keep it up! :)
Bro, Just luv your speech,
"Cantonese is different animal"
😂😂😂
马弟，您的普通话没话说！
我是马来西亚人也给您赞，您的粤语也不错！港式的比较标准，因为我们马来西亚也是看港剧长大的！
现在就比较遍汉语，中国的倔起也影响这普通话的热潮！
但马来西亚这的华语系统也是世界第一的，在中国之外暂时还是啦.... 😉😉
粤语真的好难学，但的确我的广东朋友们的普通话普遍不太好但也能听懂，广东人之间也是喜欢说粤语的即使旁边有听不懂的朋友在，但能理解她们用家乡话比较容易沟通。
I am from Hong Kong. I didn't know you can speak Cantonese! You are super!
老板娘也很厲害,兩文三語自由切換.
老马你真的太赞了！
好犀利，堅固銳利有如犀牛角，就是厲害的意思。
I totally agree w/ u. Being a foreigner who speaks cantonese rocks👍.
支持馬老師粵語視頻❤❤謝謝！
谢谢支持！
真的感觉其实无论哪国人，只要认真学习，并且长期坚持使用，一定能把外语学好！尤其是谈恋爱…哈哈哈~爱情的力量很伟大。
我呢個香港人覺得你講得真係唔錯！
your Cantonese is no bad, keep going for that. wish you all the best

in Malaysia we said "Ta-pau" for take away in Cantonese. Eventually it is used by all races. :D
Wuu Malaysia represent 🙆🏻♂️
人在店里买叫“打包”，人在家里通过电话网络下单叫“外卖”。
I can't wait to visit Malaysia again. Amazing people and beyond awesome food.
其實憑當時意境, 可以混用既... 不過, 真係要細分的話:
1) 打包 (Packing): 將吃剩既食物包起黎, 然後帶走
2) 外賣 (Delivery): 人在家中, 有工作人員送到你屋企
3) 攞走/拎走 (Take-away): 自己將個外賣拎番屋企
Hahaha.. I just commented too
Your videos are so dope! I am really enjoy watching them! Thank You!
这么短的时间，你的粤语讲的几好。。。。快超过我啦！
我是香港人，你說的廣東話已經很棒，發音蠻準啊~!
Me encantan estos vídeos Chris deberías hacer más seguido .... Saludos desde Valencia Venezuela
In Malaysia, we usually call takeaway as “ta pao” in cantonese
打包😂
And this word can be recognise by any races in Malaysia hahaha

老馬學三個月就有呢個成績非常好! 題外話, 千其唔好諗住用廣東話拼音學廣東話, 因為「廣拼」從來無建立一個標準既拼音體系, 搞到「一字多拼」... 最快學廣東話既方法, 係睇「周星馳」, 尤其係如果識睇中文字, 或者有普通話底, 特別容易。
廣東話好有親切感🥰🥰

其實你嘅廣東話已經講得好好！
又受到表扬了。

@@buckcitycrunk Yes. Very true. Good to show humility, especially in Eastern cultures.
我是广东潮汕人，讲英日意语我都从来不害怕，多练就能练会，但是唯独广东话从小不好意思讲，一讲就会被人说有潮汕口音（其他语言都不太会有口音），导致现在都不流利呀TAT，所以为什么只有这一种我overthinking了呢……
沒這回事，我就是潮州的，只要娶個廣州本地的老婆就很好學😁
Glad to see you back at it... Que bueno... I want to learn Mandarin so bad... Need to learn a third language.
Thank you - another amazing video bringing people together - is there any better reward for the hard work of learning?
You’re my favorite chris. I love studying languages too!!! I love cantonese still studying mandarin but so interested in canto too :) ur the best
通过语言拉近人与人，民族与民族的关系👍👍👍
其实现在自学语言不是那么难（网上有好多教材自选有用合适），最难是坚持。
Knowing multiple languages is honestly the most sophisticated and socially acceptable flex
Great video. I hope you speak Cantonese more.Great language and it's important too.
想看一集除了亚洲人以外的外国人去中餐馆，大家都说华语看看其他客人的反应一定很好玩。
你真系好犀利，你噶粤语发音更偏向香港果边噶，比较柔和，听起身相对来讲比较舒服
