My vote would be for more interviews with Kirk. He is really a fascinating person to listen to. Captivating speaker - from beginning to end.
I like Kirk. He strikes me as a very sensitive person. He exposes his innermost feelings and gives us a good insight into chinese education. I have always enjoyed his several performances and topics while interviewed through "Mandarin Corner" He is a great guy with a great ablity to analyse thingks and speak his heart out. Thank you !!
Yesss!! Completely agree. Hope to see more videos like this!
I like Kirk too！😄
I subscribed to this channel to practice my Mandarin, but instead this video was like a therapy session for me.
哈哈(∩_∩)。我也是炼汉语的目的来听听这个博客。他们俩在生活问题上表达出来的概念和经验非常有意思。留下自然感.跨文化交际还是很down to earth。
the same😄
Damn, this Kirk is so funny! a real cool guy ...and he definitely knows how to tell funny stories. I wish more Chinese guys were just as cool as him to talk about personal things openly, even if embarrassing. I feel this constant holding back and trying not to lose face and not to admit to any shortcomings but rather just not engage in a conversation at all.... ashhh.... that doesn´t bring the society forward. So again, well done Kirk, we need more Kirks! and well done Eileen for asking these good questions and holding the flow of the talk so nicely!
Best Chinese language channel on RUclips
Some stats: The transcript has 10,190 characters in total, with 1,267 unique words. For comparison, the most recent interview with 怡菲 had 22,025 characters and 2,059 unique words, definitely much harder. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the stats.
Variety in this channel makes it so you are over quite sure about the difficulty you will encounter.
Different guests have different vocabulary choices and their own idiolects( the way they use words).
A learning experience nonetheless I think this channel is second to none.
Kirk is great! Really thoughtful and personal answers, his opinions and experiences were so engaging to listen to. It takes a mature person to admit they don't know certain things, as was the problem with his own father. I felt a lot of empathy when he talked about still not knowing what to do with his life. Fantastic podcast, thank you so much for uploading!
Got a lot of time for Kirk! Really enjoyed him sharing his experience, and it felt very raw and sincere. Wish him all the best!
采访主题和采访对象都太有趣了，喜欢听你们聊天！😃
I think you brought up a good point about people learning to be parents at the same time they are parents. I think the one child policy makes it hard for parents to learn. I am the youngest of 3 and my mom always said by the time they had a 3rd child, she learned a lot about kids. She no longer freaked out if I had a cold as a child or worried about me getting a cut because my brother and sister had already taught them that kids are resilient. The first born always has the hardest because parents are also trying to learn. I had a lot more independence than my older brother or sister and also, with 3 kids, my parents didn’t have the time or energy to watch every single detail about us. And don’t worry Kirk! I’m over 30 and still have no idea with what I’m doing in life :)
I read a comment that said it actually felt like a therapy and yeh. My parents were also super controlling, in China it's more common but as a Chinese person that grew up in another country it was seen differently by other kids. Like I suffered from that controlling thing. As a kid I couldn't go out that much, I had to study Chinese and the other language, write my tenses, learn my tables even tho they only ask to learn two tables lol. And my mom would be like don't eat that, it's not good for your health and she will believe everything said on we chat or by her friends, like don't eat cold things or drink cold things during ur period otherwise u will be sterile, and I will say I need proof, 👀 none. It was like trash talking u if u have the possibility to go to a good university but u choose another path or trash talking u because u didn't do well. The thing with the animal is true as well or criticisms abt how clean ur house is. And so on, ppl will always tell it's ur mom no matter what and show respect but like bc ur older I have to respect u but not u? It goes both way 😂, so she will say I'm ur mom that's all (winning argument, also the lack of education that makes a big difference, they see things on internet and believe it but when u have to prove things they are like internet is full of intox/infox 😂.
I stopped learning Mandarin a long time ago but this video brought me back to this channel. Love the topic as a mum myself.
Very funny story, I know your feelings hahahaha... I (59) am still be controlled by my 95 years old Mom, but happy to have her in my life
Eileen, 你看你，就不用考上了高中。你現在有個很成功的RUclips! 你很棒！你找到了其他方法。我為你很驕傲！你做得好好喔！💗💗🙂🙂🎀🎀💪🏼加油！你個性很好，我也看得出來，你很有決心，也有好奇心！

Amazing interview! Kirk is a very funny and intelligent guy! Thank you for your channel, it's awesome! I learned so many idioms in this video! thank you guys for your work! I hope the situation with education will improve in future because as i am an online English teacher I teach Chinese students and I know what you guys are talking about! I feel so bad for those kids. They do their homework every single day, no time to have fun and be a kid.
Kirk, has started his own RUclips Channel! You might want to check it out and say hi!:
PunchPalPan: ruclips.net/video/joJYwTcsmuM/видео.html
When Kirk talked about his theory why school uniforms exist, I couldn’t help but chuckle. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s that track suits won’t stop a boy from falling for a girl and vice versa
It’s helps with classism and distractions as far as worrying about what to wear and how your hair looks etc.
我在中国待了两年半了，我接触到了不少的中国父母。 我很同意Kirk说父母在把自己的儿童塑造成他们喜欢的什么样子，我觉得这个很普遍。孩子们会有特别多课程，物理课，钢琴课，英语课，都是放学了以后去上的。但是在我的眼里很多父母没考虑过我的孩子对这个东西感兴趣了，如果一个孩子一直在做他不喜欢的事情，但是他不敢说出他不喜欢，因为他害怕他的父母会骂说他，那这个孩子是开心的吗，哎我去，这个世界太疯狂了。我祝大家幸福快乐的生活！
omg kirk真的来了😭瞬间想起了刚开始学中文的时候的自己…. 而且这次我还能看到他在讲的样子…なんだか感慨万千😂谢谢Eileen老师上传新的视频！
大家好
Kirk是一个很有趣的人。他的想法关于教育是非常有意思的。我希望下次能看到和听到他生活的经历。谢谢你们
You guys r just the best. So natural and honest and unguarded. I have been giggling and learning brilliant sentence structures and new vocab. It's like language learning heaven
Another good one. Thanks Kirk and Eileen for your honesty and openness.
谢谢你们！！ 我觉得这段视频真棒！这个话题很重要，也很有意思。
love you chanel so much, it helps me learn not only language but about chinese culture and people
Kirk回來了！❤️ 真的很珍惜他的誠實，而且有機會學一些髒話。😅
Very though provoking and well spoken
Really appreciate all the videos. This format has been really helpful in improving my Mandarin
Looove listening to Kirk ❤
Cant wait too see it when i get home:)
Excellent discussion, loved it! Also your Pinyin/headache/English subtitle system is genius! Best in the world. Thank you so much! ❤
Btw I recommend downloading the books of Alice Miller (for example: Thou shalt not be aware) and John Taylor Gatto (for example: Dumbing us down) if you want to go deeper on these topics
so much useful listening practise material
好喜欢Kirk. 希望Eileen 会经常给他采访!
Very well done🍅 My mother is also a control freak, don't know how to communicate with her, particularly because I'm a Christian, my way of thinking totally different from her.
Filial piety isn’t being your parents dog. It’s about not straying from the morals (道德）that’s been passed down from one generation to the next. Good parents think with their kids not for them.
can't thank u enough for these podcast videos!! they are so helpful :)
Woo my favorite content thank you!! I will listen to it carefully later
謝謝🙏
感谢老师分享！很喜欢您的课。
Great podcast!! As usual, professional and entertaining! Thanks Eileen
Always love your videos
这么好听啊！谢谢你们❤😊
"What the fuck" - _Wa Cao!_
Kirk is fired up 👌😂
i like the swearing, rarely get that on a language learning platform, even though its how people actually speak
Yes, they most certainly are. I once dated a Chinese lady (no not a girl, but a grown lady). Her mom hated me, and was very racist, which at first her nasty behavior amused me until she took away my then gf’s phone to keep us from talking. Apparently, there was no physical or verbal struggle involved between them, the 22 year old simply acquiesced and sadly handed her phone over to the tiger mom, as if she was a child. True story. I’m sure many others can top it though.
Your experience just proves that you don't need a high education to succeed in life. You seem to be smarter and more adequate that most people who do have even a university degree. Just like some very successful businessmen and entrepreneurs who never finished college and are now much more successful than many of those who have a PhD. Of course, it's more often the exception than the rule, but it does show that "formal education" doesn't always equal learning skills that truly help you in life or make you better at making money, doing well in life, or being a good person.
Hi Eileen, thank you so much for this video. I love your content, and I am a member. I noticed at 1:49 you said 是否是 and I'm curious what the difference is between 是否是 and 是不是 because I've only ever seen 是不是 until now. Thank you!
是否 is an adverb that means, whether or not while 是不是 is more like a phase, but has the same meaning as 是否。You can ask a question by saying: 你吃过饭了，是不是？/ You already ate, right? But you cannot use 是否 in this case.
@@MandarinCorner2 I see! So to use your example, could you say "你是否吃过饭了? " to ask if someone has eaten?
@@jasonshevik5130 Probably not common to be used in a question. 我想知道你是否吃过饭了。I want to know if you have eaten. It's better to be used in a statement.
@@MandarinCorner2 Thank you so much!
Yes. Next question.
his mother mellowing out as she's gotten older sounded something like growing old to me lol bc she recognises deep down that parents need to tone down on the controlling after their kid reaches a certain age so that the kids grow into themselves and become strong and assertive after they're like 30-35. the parents can advice after that but they can't control a full grown adult in their old age, and an old person shouldn't run the house with an iron fist and should give up their power little by little, stuff like that. in my country and asian countries in general apparently, seeing a person act rough with their older parents isn't all that uncommon, some people might even grow up watching their fathers and mothers yell at and nag at their grandparents for things they can't control due to their old age, so maybe his mother sees mellowing out as a natural part of life
Yes and not so much, it depends on the parents background
Kirk直接口吐芬芳🤣
The more I know about Chinese parents, the more I think my parents are unknowingly Chinese 😅 No wonder I always felt my family was "weird" growing up in a Western country.
我跟Kirk一样都是1米7出头一点点。只能说别人的言语却是会让我感觉到自己就是个矮子。尤其是像我这个在华的外国人。很多人都会说“你们外国人不应该很高大，很壮吗”？
谢谢派视频节目。 让我国语听力和生子。
It's so interesting about chinese life
一如既往的好

really love all your podcast but i would like to suggest if you guys talk little slow cz im now learn hsk 5 this still consider too fast, i only got the point but not to tone of new words.
As we mention in all our audio podcast videos, you can use RUclips's speed control to slow down the speech.
@@MandarinCorner2 thank you really appreciate your efforts ❤️❤️

Man, I thought my parents fucked me up...wow.
I love the way Chinese parents train their children😜
You should do a street interview about ABCs
I feel we need more parents like these ,crime here in America is out of control and a good part of the cause is really poor parenting.
我是墨西哥人，我爸爸当然是控制的人 😂
好久不见。你还好吗
很好，谢谢！
Wkwkwk biasalah ini… di mana2 di Asia juga gitu mah… 就是妈妈的爱情嘛

Great, but I had to stop watching after hearing the "f" word several times.
very sensitive guy ...!!
I'm never really sure if the adult dragging a screaming child through the mall is an angry parent trying to make it through the day or a kidnapper on the job.
