    I’ve been re-watching this several times (bc it’s super funny) and I have to say as an applied linguist and Mandarin teacher, Brett’s Mandarin, especially the usage of result compliments (e.g. when he said your bow is ‘crooked’ in Mandarin 歪「掉」)and temporal markers (also when he talked about the crooked bow 歪掉「了」) are on-point, accurate and natural.
    Most students of mine would probably just settle with ‘your bow is very crooked 你的弓很歪 or your bow has crooked 你的弓歪了, but instead here he used both the result compliment 掉 and the temporal marker 了 to imply the change of the bow’s position, with the connotation that she didn’t do it purposely: 你的弓歪掉了」
    Those two are 2 of the hard points for non-native speakers, especially English as L1 speakers, to learn, and I’ve seen near-native students still struggling with them (let alone the combo!).
    Maybe it came from their childhood back in Taiwan or their family exposure to Mandarin, but I think Brett’s Mandarin command might be better than he’s giving himself credit to.
    Anyways, good job Twoset for teaching beginners in your L2, you’re doing amazing sweeties! *insert Kardashian gif here*

      I think that what the OP means is that it's not their first language, and I kind of agree with that.
      Yes, they were born and spent their first years of life in Taiwan (3 for Eddy, 5 for Brett), yes Mandarin is their families' mother tongue. But they themselves grew up and went to school in New Zealand and Australia. Even if they speak Chinese quite well, they're definitely much more fluent in English.

      In linguistics first language/ L1 means your main language and not the earliest language you learned as a baby, and L2 means any language that's not your main language. L1, L2 has nothing to doo with the speaker's learning sequence, just their command on the language. So yeah, Miss Coussin Rouge explained what I meant clearer than myself, thank you.

    Part of why Eddy was more successful at teaching Zach was because they were using a tune that Zach was familiar with and did not worry about reading the notation. Also, Eddy sang the solfege for the tune right away and kept doing it. Brett didn't start singing the etude until after halfway through the lesson or so and used a lot more words.

      I think some people can pick it up easier than others. Aside from not having the straightest bowing, I didn’t have much trouble learning how to hold the bow and position my left hand, even when I was learning on my own in the beginning through tutorials, articles and books. Playing of course was/is different, lol.
