American was shocked by Korean, Japanese, Chinese ENGLISH Accents (Why sound so similar?) 

I can tell between korean and japanese accent, because its common here in Hawaii (✿☉｡☉)

Coz those words are all originated from China.

Media outside Japan are telling that Japaneses are blinded insane about American English .They love US and they teaching US speaking not UK .Same are Thai are learning in Philipenes.

I hope you japanese also to get better day for improving own English skills

漢字語だけが似ていて、固有語と文法体系は全く違う。 特に韓国語と日本語は地球上で近縁関係を見つけることができない言語だ。

Which one is erra?

What really

I found it interesting even though I can speak only english and polish and for some reason RU-vid decided to show me this 🙄

How do you know so much languages!? I only know Spanish and English. I tried to learn Japanese but it was to hard🥲

@@evelyngomez8785 It’s because I am interested in learning languages. I am a Chinese native speaker. In my country, it is necessary to learn English at school. I also like K-pop and enjoy watching anime, so learning Japanese and Korean helps me understand anime and K-pop songs without subtitles. Japanese is not that hard for people who can speak Chinese because we understand kanji. If you want to learn Japanese well, I suggest that you immerse yourself in Japanese. For instance, Japanese songs or Japanese anime. Find out something that motivates you to learn Japanese.

Awesome wow

@давид Бедные люди oh I never heard it before! Thanks🐻👍 Слава Україні🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

japanese doesn't want foreigners.

so true

English and Chinese have similar structure but Chinese may never be easier to learn due to their characters and pronounciation.pronunciation. I learned all three of them but Chinese was insanely difficult.

yes, that's true, and if you know the ancient normal chinese you may find that that's even more similar to enlish in grammar than the modern chinese.

As Chinese, China has also borrowed many words kanji created in japan in the modern era like “telephone”...

Does that mean the Chinese civilization existed first before Korea and Japan?

Actually not only the languages but also many aspects,like culture,food,custom and so on.

In ancient times,Japan and Korea were vessels of China.

Yeah because a lot of words is originated in china

It's like the crossover of french,german and dutchthat eventually made up the english language. Mostly due to close proximity of one another. So this phenominon happens all over the world I imagine.

The examples you chose are actually very interesting. As far as I know, the word 電話 is invented by the Japanese and borrowed by the Chinese, and 習慣 is the opposite. For 天使, I'm not sure. 天使 as "angel" in the bible seems to appear in the Chinese translation first, and then the Japanese translation, however because of the existence of the word 天の使（てんのつかい） in Japanese, 天使（てんし） could possibly come into use under both influence.

this is correct except japanese uses 図書館 (different first character).

@@00droo00 nah, 図 is still seem as similar character of 圖, it depends on some of kanji( compare with Chinese word) will be simplified to other form for easier to write down

@@00droo00 地圖(map) 圖書館(library) from Chinese in Japanese kanji will be written as 地図、図書館, so it can be considered as same character and especially on its meaning.

It is same as Latin. Eng, French, Germany, Italian etc .. share Latin words. Korean Japanese Chinese shares old chinese words, for historical reason. but we(I am korean) don't understand each others language at all. totally diffrent.

Typically it is true with idea that Japanese are the best at English speaking, it’s not always true, but for one girl I met she proved that idea that a lot of Japanese are good at speaking English. I had a Japanese Professor for sociology in college who while she had an accent, it was actually easy to understand her.

They are not relative languages but there are a lot of "borrowed" words among the three languages

well not everybody can differentiate languages. For a lot of people like you and myself it's easy to diferentiate differente languages but a lot of people can't . I would like to know the scientific explanation to this

That's great but Hakka Chinese is even closer to Japanese in some ways than Cantonese because we actually call Japan ”nipbon” which means rising sun. As supposed to Nippon in Japanese. Also counting in Korean and Hakka Chinese is very similar.

In Japanese it is 運動. Kind of interesting how the Chinese version is simplified.

@@someguy1686 Yeah, I use pinyin input, which gives the simplified form. I can highlight it and change it to traditional Chinese. 运动 =，運動。I am used to typing in pinyin and just don’t bother to do a simplified to traditional character conversion, but I can read both simplified and traditional characters 😄😄

@@someguy1686 Japanese sometimes uses simplified characters, and sometimes uses traditional characters, and even has wasei kanji 和製漢字, which are only available in Japanese and don’t exist in Chinese, such as 丼、円

😅 you should be in the video instead of Ella

Maybe Chinese is the orginal version.

@@davidyuan222 Sometimes it's not true. As Japan started to adapt western culture relatively earlier than other asian countries, Japan actually started to create words of western concepts in Kanji (Ex. Phone 電話), and because Chinese people also use Chinese characters, they started to use them. So basically these languages are influencing each other in a way.

They have the same base which is chinese characters

@@davidyuan222 Chinese is the original version but not Mandarin. AFAIK a lot of the Japanese 'Chinese' pronunciation aka onyomi were from many different eras. 古音，吳音，漢音，唐音 are the main one and they all have somewhere different pronunciations. You would find more similarities between Japanese and some of the coastal region Chinese dialects. And like some comment mentioned above, China adopted a lot of modern words from Japan such as 電話，經濟，tec

Dutch is Germanic language tho haha

@@user-iq7en1lg3i Dutch and English are not Romance languages, but they were both influenced by Latin. Korean and Japanese are not Sinitic languages, but they were both influenced by Classical Chinese. Southern Chinese dialects and Mandarin are both Sinitic, that's why they are compared to French and Italian, which are both Romance. I think it's a very good comparison honestly

. Mandarin is the most conservative dialect to Middle Chinese, it would be Italian while Cantonese would be Portuguese, French has a lot of Non-Latin influence. Portuguese is like Cantonese because they don't stray from the mother language in grammar, but pronunciation has changed a lot.

@@toade1583 fascinating stuff 😮

Generally good analogy for Western audiences but I would suggest a slight change. Mandarin is actually a direct descendant of the classical Chinese language. The original Chinese peoples were situated around the Yellow river basin in Northern China. Over time, they expanded everywhere and conquered the Southern lands around the Yangtze river basin in the South. At that time, the Southern lands were non-Chinese and the native peoples who populated the Yangtze basin in the South were closely related to modern day Southeast Asians like Thais, Viets and Austronesians. So the languages that these native peoples spoke were very different from the Chinese of that time. When Han Chinese people migrated Southwards and conquered the Yangtze river basin, they assimilated the native women and intermarried heavily with them. As a result, the native languages had a huge influence on the resulting language spoken in the South of China. For example, certain grammatical features of Vietnamese is actually seen in Cantonese, not to mention many loanwords and unique pronunciation habits of the Southern native peoples. That is the reason why if you take out Southern China, the rest of China actually speaks true dialects of the Mandarin language. Southern China is the only region in China that has distinct languages of Chinese instead of dialects. This intermixing is also observable in genetic studies where Southern Chinese mtdna, which is inherited from mothers only, is extremely varied and different from the rest of China but ydna, which is inherited from fathers, are uniform with the rest of China. So Southern Chinese languages should be more like French as French, although a part of the Romance language family, has a huge influence from other ethnic native peoples' languages and Mandarin is actually more like Italian.

Yes, because of the Ww2, Korean War affect their relationship.

Actually she speaks Korean with the Japanese girl. Since the hostess says she can speak Korean "good enough", I believe the video was recorded in South Korea.

Actually a lot of the words in Modern Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese may use Chinese base words but they were coined in Japan. The word 社會，電話 etc. were actually created by the Japanese using Chinese base words.

@@thevannmann Come up with evidence to refute those rumors that China cannot do without Japan and Chinese language In 1872, the American missionary Lu Gongming compiled "Hua Ying Cui Lin Yun Fu", which included "telegraph", "battery", "light", "molecules", "democratic country", "geology", "physics", "optics". ", "Theory", "Dynamics", "Congress", "Conference", "Taxes", "Functions", "Differentials", "Algebraic Curves", "Coastal", "Compass", "Lightning", "Menu" Chinese-English translation of words such as "line" and "parabola" [17]. These dictionaries were all passed down to Japan, and were used for reference in the compilation of various Japanese and Japanese dictionaries, providing a solid foundation for Japan to learn Western ideas and technologies and create new vocabulary. In addition, the Chinese also set up their own translation agencies, such as the Jingshi Tongwen Museum, the Shanghai Cantonese Dialect Museum, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau Translation Museum, the Navy Yamen, the General Administration of Taxation, the Jingshi University Hall Translation Institute, the Nanyang Public School in Shanghai, and the Hubei Provincial Government Office. Bookstore, Beiyang Official Bookstore, etc. According to statistics, in the nearly 60 years from 1855 (the third year of Xianfeng) to 1911 (the third year of Xuantong), a total of 468 Western scientific works were translated into Chinese and published by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Translation Office. Among them, there are 44 general and miscellaneous works, 12 astronomy and meteorology, 164 mathematics, 98 physics and chemistry, 92 natural resources, and 58 geography. There are 180 kinds in total, such as navigation, natural history, medicine, craftsmanship, shipbuilding and amphibious warfare. Many scientific terms commonly used today were originally set by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Translation Institute. Professor Chen Liwei of Mejiro University in Japan also confirmed: "At that time, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs official Yanagwa Maemitsu purchased more than a dozen books translated by Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau back to Japan and used them as references when translating textbooks and books in similar subjects." "According to the survey, only 19 There are 155 Chinese translations of Western books published by the century that have been used by the Japanese, and after adding annotations, adding Japanese translation explanations and other procedures, the 'Chinese' words in them are also directly borrowed into Japanese.” [ 19] Facts can fully prove that many so-called "Japanese loanwords" are "Chinese products" that are "exported to domestic sales". Even if there are no Japanese loanwords, Chinese people can still translate Western scientific literature, Chinese people can still communicate normally, and they can still do experimental reports and doctoral dissertations. ​ In the past few decades, many "Han's English" words have appeared in Korean - new words created under the influence of American English, and many English words have also been directly adopted, such as juice, shampoo, doughnut, etc., which are all transliterated English words. .

@@thevannmann 拿出證據反駁那些說中國離不開日本和製漢語的謠言 1872年美國傳教士盧公明編纂《華英萃林韻府》將“電報”、“電池”、“光線”、“分子”、“民主之國”、“地質論”、“物理”、“光學”、“理論”、“動力”、“國會”、“會議”、“納稅”、“函數”、“微分學”、“代數曲線”、“沿海”、“羅盤”、“閃電”、“午線”、“拋物線”等等詞彙的漢英對譯［17］。 這些辭典都東傳日本，被日本各種英和、和英辭典的編纂所借鑒，為日本學習西方的思想、科技，創造新詞彙，提供了堅實的基礎。 除此之外，中國人還自己開辦翻譯機構，如京師同文館、上海廣方言館、江南製造局翻譯館、海軍衙門、稅務總司、京師大學堂編譯館、上海的南洋公學、湖北官書局、北洋官書局等。 據統計，僅江南製造局及翻譯館從1855年（咸豐三年）到1911年（宣統三年）近60年間，共有468部西方科學著作被譯成中文出版。 其中總論及雜著44部，天文氣象12部，數學164部，理化98部，博物92部，地理58部；所譯之書內容廣泛，包括算學測量、汽機、化學、地質地理、天文、航海、博物、醫、工藝、造船及水陸兵法等共180種。 今天常用的很多科學名詞，都是江南製造局及翻譯館最初定下來的。 日本目白大學陳力衛教授也證實：“當時日本外務省官員柳原前光曾將江南製造局所譯的書籍十數種購回日本，用作教科書和同類學科書籍翻譯時的參考。”“據調查僅19世紀出版的漢譯西書就有155種被日本人翻刻利用，通過加註釋、加日文翻譯解釋等程序後，其中的‘漢語’詞便也隨之直接地借用到日語裡去了。”［19］ 事實完全可以證明，許多所謂的“日語外來詞”，都是“出口轉內銷”的“中國產品”。 即使沒有日語外來詞，中國人照樣可以翻譯西方科學文獻，中國人照樣可以進行正常交流，照樣可以做實驗報告博士論文。 ​ 過去幾十年，韓語出現了好多“韓氏英語”詞彙--受美語影響創造的新詞，也直接接納了好多英語單詞，比如果汁、香波、甜圈等等，都是使用英語單詞的音譯。

No, I think the tones are easy, too. They occur naturally in English intonation, but not every syllable. That’s what people find difficult. Almost all the letters are the same, except ü, and even the grammar is similar. For me, the easiest to hardest languages have been: French, Chinese, Spanish (too fast 😵‍💫), Korean, German, Japanese, Thai (gave up 😅).

Other than the tones, there are also many sounds which don't exist in most languages, such as zh, sh, ch and there are many diphthongs in chinese.

Personally I think Japanese pronunciation can be tricky and difficult too! Not sure if Dajare/Pun ないぞうがないぞう is a good example, but it is really difficult to read the Japanese correctly if I have never hear it before since hiragana/romaji that helps in pronunciation looks the same 🥲

Such as the vocabularies in the video, pronunciations of 漢字 in JP are mostly simplified, and Koreans have tried to preserved the original
