    Jeremy Lin is an NBA player, a millionaire, world famous, a harvard graduate, and an overall great guy. On top of that he is now super fluent in Chinese. Guy truly is inspirational.

      If he started out being able to speak it growing up even living in the US most of the time and has been over to China every summer in the last 12 years or so, and has basically stayed there for the most part since around 2019, most likely anyone would be fluent especially seeing he probably won't be leaving until he gets too old to play and seeing how much better he's getting treated as basically a celebrity over there, doubt he's ever planning on coming back besides to visit people.

    I was just curious, has anyone ever done a video of a native English speaker reacting to Jessie’s English? Her English sounds really cute to me, and although her pronunciation is perfect I can still tell she’s not a native speaker. I think it must be her rate of speech or the fact that she enunciates almost too clearly. I was just curious if anyone has ever done that.

    • @alexisericson241
      @alexisericson241 Год назад

      I don't think anyone's done that, since in the anglosphere it's often considered rude to talk about others' accents unless you're emphasising how good it is that they're different, because [UK history] and [US history]. Case in point: The first reply to this comment. So few anglophones will correct people in their speech. It drives me crazy - I like knowing when I've made a mistake! I've never seen an English channel dedicated to scoring accents.
      What makes Jessie's English slightly accented is partially pronunciation (the θ, 'th' sound is difficult), and partially syllable structure (English can have multiple separate consonant sounds, e.g. strengths, before a vowel and after. It can have as many as 4consonants-vowel-5consonants. Mandarin has many fewer options. A maximal syllable in Mandarin has consonant-glide-vowel-final (a glide is a sound between a vowel and a consonant, and a final is basically n or ng).
      But mostly it's timing and timbre. Mandarin is a syllable-timed language, meaning every syllable should take roughly the same amount of time to pronounce. This is also true of French (and many other Latin languages). In English, however, speech is stress-timed, meaning only stressed syllables have a constant duration between them, and unstressed ones are shoved into the remaining time if possible.
      Then there's timbre. Probably the best way to explain this is with accents first. If you've ever heard a US news broadcaster speak and then you compare that to a UK (received pronunciation) broadcaster, you'll notice the UK one likely speaks more from his chest and further back in the mouth - his voice resonates more within his body before it exits his mouth. If you look at someone from the midwest, they'll speak further forward in the mouth and higher, barely using their chest cavity to resonate their voice. Different languages do this too. Generally it has to do with where in the mouth they make most letters. French has a lot of gutteral 'r's and back vowels, as does German, so they will have more resonance than a Spanish speaker, who will sound very nasal. On that kind of spectrum, Mandarin is closer to Spanish than French.
      There are also small grammar mistakes like article usage. One thing that I think makes Jessie sound a lot more native than most is her usage of the unstressed 'schwa' sound. In many 'unimportant' bits of speech in English, a lot of the vowels turn into this sound, which is the first vowel sound in 'whether'. So instead of 'I'm going t*o* the store, an English speaker might say 'I'm going t*eh* th*eh* store' (In many British accents I'm -> 'eh'm' also)

      @davidholden4543 5 месяцев назад

      @@alexisericson241Interesting reply. I notice when I switch speaking from one language to another it takes me a moment to readust my mouth to how sounds are made in that language. When I switch frequently and quickly between two languages like Jessie is doing here within one sentence (English, says a couple of words in chinese, goes back to English) pronunciation in one of the languages will be off by a little because your mouth hasn’t fully readjusted.
      You sound like you have a background in linguistics or speech therapy. I’m more of a language learner and user so I might not be using the precise way to describe this. However, it’s very obvious between languages and dialects, you use your mouth in a different way.
