I'm noticing a few comments coming about the Mandarin subtitles having flaws. I wrote them myself, so don't blame Jayme. Next time we'll edit together! Thanks for watching, y'all
I have always been interested in language I think its awesome you had the nerve to jump up and go to china and build a life this is the first video of yours I have seen and I love seeing young people get out and live kudos to you good luck in your future adventures never let that end I will never understand why people let fear and excuses keep them from ever living or having a full life I have known so many people who are towards the end of there life who have never done anything and now they wonder why they did not just go do some of those things they always wanted to do so keep it up and maybe your videos will encourage others to just get out and do something amazing in there life
Haha I guess it's tough after being in china for 10 years and I'd assume you'd pick up the American accent from basketball and tv shows? Anyway your Chinese is mind blowingly good
Jayme Lawman In these videos you sound somewhere in between American and English. I’m bad with the distinct British accents, but the closest American accent is probably New York.
I noticed it too. When speaking English, Jayme keeps switching from British to America accent, and vice versa. I also noticed him using both those English accents at the same time. Interesting.
Great video! My son learned Mandarin using Rosetta Stone 9 years ago. Took him 3 1/2 years to complete all 5 levels and became fluent orally after that. Learning Chinese has changed his life. In the past 4 years, he has been to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tiawan, Beijing, Shenzhen and Seoul, Korea all for University study and language programs. He is now in Graduate school taking International relations and Political Science.
You inspire me so much to keep doing what I do - I've been learning Mandarin for 3 years now, and it can be hard sometimes, but I just recently discovered your videos and every time I'm seeing you speaking Mandarin so flawlessly, it inspires me to keep going and to study harder so I can become as amazing as you some day soon :) Thanks for your videos. I'll be in SH next year doing an internship for 6 months, so maybe we could meet and catch up, if you're up to it :) Would be amazing! Best wishes from Germany xxx
Great advise! I watch a lot of movies and listen to a lot of music but never thought to pause to write down the words I don't know. I've been looking to improve my writing so I'm going to start doing that. Looking forward to more videos!
Laggie it’s funny you should ask because I’m from Northampton and the pronunciation of words like art, park, smart are similar to the Boston accent....
It's funny you say that. I noticed that my English accent (also from the UK) slid into an American one very quickly once I began studying Chinese. I wonder whether my mind went into an open state for new inputs as I learned Chinese, and then it accidentally absorbed the American accent from all of the other expats out there. The tough part is when at home you use American words by habit: apartment, high school, paper towels etc. The British equivalents are useless since neither Americans nor Chinese are familiar with them, and your brain begins to use the American ones naturally even when you go home.
@@eugene1317 Not really. I'd say Tagalog or Korean would be a bit easier for and English speaker. (I haven't tried Tagalog yet but I know a bit of Korean) Korean has almost the same amount of letter that English does. The only thing you would find hard is pronunciation and grammar.
This is great advice. Our Chinese language students will really enjoy this video. We offer lessons online too including classes for improving HSK scores as well as relationship Chinese, and basic conversation too.
Hey there Jayme! Thank you for being a fan of my language and being its ambassador! You have beautiful handwriting. To understand the beauty of our language further, consider learning the traditional Chinese script 繁体字 ~ there is a reason for every madness in each character, you will have so much fun discovering these! All the best now.
That is wicked impressive. It seems so hard to not only learn speaking it, but hearing it and writing it. Chinese language is extremely difficult, so it seems.
youre a real inspiration. i have been learning korean for 4 years and i am pretty much fluent in everyday conversations, but i aim to reach this level of proficiency that you have mastered in chinese
Jayme, I actually found you in my feed through watching laoshu505000. His name is Moses McCormick. He’s awesome. He’s originally from Columbus, Ohio, but now situated in Phoenix, Arizona. His best language is Mandarin. I feel if you two met and did a show (reality TV based) just prankish ordinary Chinese citizens it would be a hit. For example you’re put in situations where you appear to be lost or you work with each other and unsuspecting Chinese people come to help you and then all of a sudden you start speaking Mandarin. I think it would be a hit.
teddyt1964, I wanted to expand on this idea. Maybe the two of them get lost in a rural part of China with no foreigners. Only Chinese. And the two are looking around for directions and somehow in a sea of Chinese, they only find each other and ask for directions in Chinese with one another....Eh to be honest, when I was picturing the scene in my head, it played out funnier than it did once I finished typing it out in words...
@@Jimboy012 Honestly, I think Laoshu would not be able to keep up with this guy in the video. The guy in the video focuses solely on Mandarin and immersed in China. Moses splits his time in like over umpteenth languages. Moses is too restricted in comparison, and the gap in Mandarin levels between the two would be noticeable. Moses is inspirational though.
Gosh! You can write Chinese words so well! 😲😲😲👍 You're amazing! I am Malaysian Chinese but went to our national school (Malay is the medium of teaching, so I didn't get to learn Chinese, but I can speak Cantonese & Mandarin). I took the initiative to start learning Chinese on my own few years back. I learnt by chatting with Chinese friends via text messages, now I can read up to 60% I would say.
An American would never incorporate that much English accent in a hundred years. He’s definitely British but his accent is almost gone. Weird but cool.
Oh man, I don't usually comment on videos but i have the exact same story as you, minus the basketball hobby. Been in china for ten years, speak mandarin like you, was watching chinese TV shows like 蜗居 or 爱情公寓 and checking nciku for words. Brings back lots of memories. And for the record, yes that's a very good way to learn Mandarin. I passed hsk 6 in less than a year that way. Keep up the good work. Cheers !
Thank you for sharing, Jayme! No wonder you speak Chinese so well. Hard work pays off! One sentence though sounds odd at 4’5”: 他的女儿是一个非常激动的孩子。 We would say: 他的女儿是一个情绪非常容易激动的孩子。 他的女儿非常激动。
Oooh is he the one who's friends with Kris? And awesome skills dude? This is also how I've studied Japanese and Korean. After reaching the intermediate level u can just start picking words and expressions from movies and tv shows and music. :) It's so fun!
Thank you. You have your head screwed on right. I had preceived notions prior to "clicking onto" this video, but I learned not to judge anyone. Thank you again and you did a super job at explaining what worked for you.
Just wanted to say, as a Chinese speaker, it makes me really happy to see you have such a passion for our language...and it gives me motivation to continue studying my own mother tongue. Keep the videos coming!
Daniel Zhang 对不气！我汉子不好 所以呢看不懂的多！我说中问比写的多！你可以写英语吗？那是看来懂跟多! As you see- i am hard to write message to reply you in Chinese exactly! And now see my comment again- i could'n understand what i wrote completely! i have short mind:)
You need to incorporate your learning into something that you love, somethings that your passionate about.... Got it... Looking for a chinese woman now.
Great video. That was how I learned English many years ago too, but I learned from reading children storybooks and not dramas. I used to write down unfamiliar words and their phonetics at the side of the page, then refresh my memory by returning to them frequently.
I'm Brazilian and I studied English for a long time and even actually I'm still studying, but Chinese I my focus. Word by word one day I will conquer this fantastic language.
Why the held would you get a Chinese passport as you have to loose British Passport - if you were in a choice as can not hold both. The Chinese passport really restricts travel.
that sounds like a lot of hard work and dedication which paid off. I think a person still need a knack for learning languages to pick it up so fluently like you did. Major props to you.
This guy learns basically the same way I do - except I left China for 6 years, now I'm back - and this Jaime guy is quite a bit better than I am! I still use nciku! :p Really, really interesting guy - one of a kind. Seems like a cool dude! 给力，哥们儿！
Fantastic video. So informative. And yes, the first thing I thought was "oh no, not another clickbait video to push another language app". Thanks for putting out useful content.
yeah sounds like he's losing his identity..you can't lose your accent or forget as an adult regardless who you hang out with.maybe one or two words you might pick up, but not your native tongue..!
nope he is just losing his identity!...just needs to stop speaking like an American regardless who you hang with especially if your British, understandably if you was raised on a American Airbase abroad or left either country at a young age other than that you can't forget your native English dialect..
Wow! His Chinese handwriting is better than many of Chinese people's! That's very impressive. Also, his spoken English is almost perfect, he doesn't have accent.
Monkey Abroad Thanks for sharing practical learning strategies and tools that actually give some hope to those of us who are considering learning but are intimidated by this seemingly impossible language. Thanks for the extra motivation.

I also do believe then if they did not look at him they wouldn't even realise. The fact that some Chinese come across a foreign is enough to have their brain collapse and be like no no I don't understand even if the person is fluent... happen to me and other people SO many times... but yeah it's ok@@jordandavis6709
This is great man- I'm American and my wife is from Beijing.. Honestly, she speaks better english than me! I really want to be able to speak to her in Mandarin, this is awesome tips you have given me!
Yep!!! That is how I am learning now. Also, that was how I learned Spanish (14 years and many Hispanics think I my parents or family are actually not American)!! This process works. Then, make some chat buddies, native to that language and you are SET!!! Good advice!
Look at the woman at 0:08 :D I'm not sure if she wanted to look attractive because of him or because of camera, but she nailed it! PS: I think she is very beautiful!
your hand writing is equally as impressive as your tonality (the hardest part for a foreigner to master)! re: learning chinese from songs, you should probably caution students that tonality is affected by the music's melody, which i'm sure you probably already know. kids' shows/cartoons are indeed the best for learning. i learned english from sesame street and japanese from anime :P

Why chinese have chinese subtitle on their tv show or movie? I just curious
English!? Wow there is almost no accent left... sounds so American
sjwilkin I was thinking the same thing! He said I’m from England. I’m like wait what?
I’ll try to get into English mode next time haha. My accent usually subconsciously changes based on who’s talking to me

You sounded American then moved into a kinda British accent at 1:05 so weird

Jing Gao 就算发音不地道也很正常吧... 北方三四线小城市六七十年代出生的人说普通话也会有人会出现音调不准的问题... 我父母就说中原官话徐州片的方言，像市区的淮普典型特征就是发音和普通话完全一样但是声调完全不一样... 一二三四是yǐ èr sǎn sì'e
@@nehcooahnait7827 母语为中文的人说普通话不标准和非母语说中文还是有差别的吧。最本质是大脑的思考模式。外国人说的越多越能听得出来是外国人
This is great man- I'm American and my wife is from Beijing.. Honestly, she speaks better english than me! I really want to be able to speak to her in Mandarin, this is awesome tips you have given me!
Yep!!! That is how I am learning now. Also, that was how I learned Spanish (14 years and many Hispanics think I my parents or family are actually not American)!! This process works. Then, make some chat buddies, native to that language and you are SET!!! Good advice!
"I'm actually from England"... are you sure about that?? Sure it's not New Jersey???! 😁😁😁
Look at the woman at 0:08 :D
I'm not sure if she wanted to look attractive because of him or because of camera, but she nailed it!
PS: I think she is very beautiful!
and hot
Wtf not at all loser
刚想说：你牛啊，小哥，居然还有中国护照~~~下一秒就听到原来是“忽悠”~~~~不过小哥中文66666，对认真学习的“学霸”必须点赞！！！
your hand writing is equally as impressive as your tonality (the hardest part for a foreigner to master)! re: learning chinese from songs, you should probably caution students that tonality is affected by the music's melody, which i'm sure you probably already know. kids' shows/cartoons are indeed the best for learning. i learned english from sesame street and japanese from anime :P
nice video man.. really like your tips.
