Yup, that's China... refuse to take responsibility for your mistakes.

@@robertreynolds580 No more like CHYNAS MISTAKES

Welcome to China lol

Thank you Merm

@@DB-vd3vy luckily, I just left the blasted country, and I wowed never to return again. It worked perfectly fine for me, thank you. P.s. I just said I had just arrived and had no language skills, go pandering your shilling somewhere else, thank you.

You'd be surprised even in western countries we have bizarre common sense billboards like "dont rápe ask first" and "don't litter here".

@@jeygee3736 sooooo bizarre wow 😑

That just means you occur penalties as you eat.

But you can always rely on truck stops with an "Eat & Get Gas" sign.

Assuming you start from higher level is a joke heheh. USA is cancer!!! Pay for your crimes!!!

You call USA a "level lol.

Just takes practice and getting the tones right. Obviously much harder since it's not like English

​@@jeygee3736 Yeah, maybe if circumstances or something were different, then I might not have stopped. The social stuff was kinda what killed it for me. How do I put it...? The 'wheels of social inclusion' seemed a lot more 'lubricated' with Russians than with Chinese. Between the extreme difficulty, and the general lack of enthusiasm of people I tried to practice with, I kinda started seeing the language as an exercise in masochism. I'm sure some people had glowing experiences with learning the language. I'm not one of them.

Well they're kind of stuck with this style since they're out of china but still making video about china. Is there nothing interesting about where ever they're at now?

What do you mean face away. They are probably not expecting a foreigner to speak good Chinese.

Ah, no Jay Gee; he means what he said. They are trying to humiliate the "white devil" so that they can prove to themselves that their own Chinese culture is superior. I worked in businesses for 10 years that were frequented by Chinese and this is exactly what they do. "Saving face" and "taking face" are fundamental to Chinese society. Sometimes I would have trouble understanding Chinese customers when they spoke to me in their poor English and they would often get very angry and start shouting at me in Chinese "You stupid foreigner; why do you make me lose face? You should speak to me in MY language, White Devil!" And this is in Sydney Australia, where the native language spoken is ENGLISH and these people had often lived here for 10 or 20 years but had just not bothered to learn to speak the local language of the country they had chosen to live in.

@@jeygee3736 In English we have these phrases "to lose face" and "to save face" right? This entered English from expats living in China long ago. In China, "face" is an important construct, 面子 or 臉. It's sort of like reputation, honour, or a feeling of self-worth. It makes it very difficult for Chinese people to, for example, accept that they did something wrong, or be persuaded that they made a mistake. Imagine you get into a taxi and speak Chinese to the driver. He's not expecting it so his brain farts for a moment and he says "I'm sorry I don't understand your language". You then continue speaking Chinese to him, and he begins to understand. But it's now a "face" matter. He won't lose face. So he doubles down on "not understanding you". See, he *can't* be wrong, you *must* be speaking a different language, even if you're speaking with 95% fluency. Equally though, if there is dislike for foreigners in the area, some people will pretend not to understand you specifically because they're trying to humiliate you; you lose face as you desperately try to communicate with someone who "can't understand". Contrast with pretty much anywhere else, like Japan or the US or the Middle East. People's brains may fart for a moment making them struggle to understand, and they may say something like "I don't understand what you are saying", but if you continue speaking their language they'll internally accept that they simply misunderstood, and will (now bright red from embarrassment) begin communicating, because they don't have to worry about a sociological construct like Face. You can't do much in China without understanding face. It affects pretty much everything. You know how Westerners get tattoos with Chinese characters sometimes, and sometimes the characters don't mean what they think they mean? If you tell a Westerner that their tattoo says "curried rice" and not "eternal dragon", they might not believe you, but they probably will sheepishly go to check later and have it altered or removed, or they'll eventually accept "yeah I made a mistake. But whatever, it *looks* cool at least right?" A similar thing happens in China with "English names". When dealing with foreigners (eg in education) they'll take on an "English name" to make it easier for the foreigner to remember them. Sometimes they pick wacky things, and other times they'll pick something that is so close to another word that it's obviously a mistake. As was covered on this channel, a girl took the English name "Rancy". Helpfully they tried to ask if she'd meant to choose "Nancy", but it had become a face matter. It wasn't a mistake, it was intentional. People in China will often stick with a clear and obvious mistake for a very, very long time, because changing it would mean admitting they were wrong, and result in loss of face. So they just dig their heels in, double down on being wrong, until there is some external force that gives them an opportunity to escape it without losing face.

You notice the trend that no matter what government is in charge eastern Europe raimais a terrible place to live in? its chinas culture doing this not communsim, China is capitalistic now and still bad.

We need more of these Eastern Europeans, educating us about that kind of government control.

@@miguellopez3392 😜😜😜😜 MR IQ READ TO THE END How can you say that, Eastern Europe is a very good place , the only problem is it is still suffering from what brutal communism dictatorship did to them, nearly 50 years imprisonments. You can’t expect them to grow same as West so fast. I hope you are talking about Economic aspect of Eastern Europe (which is wrong also) otherwise you are not knowledgeable enough to reply to my comment . If you ask one by one of them about going back to communism era they smash your face. My uncle had gone to Bulgaria in 1985, level of poverty was so harsh that he was offered to sleep wives or daughters for less than $1. By the way: CORRUPTION IS NOT IN ANY SOCIETY’S CULTURE, EITHER CHINESE OR NON CHINESE , TAIWAN AND HONGKONG PROVED THAT HOW GREAT AND SMART ARE CHINESE PEOPLE UNDER A NON CORRUPT SYSTEM.

They have far more chemistry than Winston does with his wife.

You never see a single documentary on this, even Chinese from China enjoy watching them.

@@mandarinandthetenrings2201 cool! Thanks for keeping an open mind. I didn’t know how people from China/Chinese people would react to these videos. Glad to hear you enjoy them

@@numalesoybea1348 Are you jealous of them?

It's not just random stuff they talk about but it's also stupid when they try to analyze or give an explanation to Chinese behavior. Lol. They're practicing out of their scope of practice. Lmao!

You wouldn't walk through some neighborhoods in the states at night but you keep pretending you're free. You can walk anywhere in china and be safe. You're at least just as brainwashed as the Chinese

Idk y but it’s easier for me to understand Spanish from people who speak English as a first language better

@@Libra_Strings Because it isn't natural for the speaker, just like you. If we were to speak Spanish, I would be fine doing it but I'd be slow as I thought over my words. That would help you translate as I speak, as with natural speakers (unless the listener is fluent) the words are often said too fast. Then there's accents. Obviously everyone has one, no matter where you live. But if I spoke Spanish it would be with an upstate NY accent, aka the bland newscaster accent. But a natural speaker would likely have a Latinx accent which can alter the words, especially if you learned something with an American accent, and now are hearing it with a Latin one. Either way, you and uncleJcav know at least two languages. That's something to be proud of.

@@Cris-em9tn Yuck 'latinx'?

Yeah, rural Mandarin is not taught in international Mandarin classrooms. Beijing-accented Mandarin is. Most speak their own dialect, so their Mandarin is quite accented. Dialects are as different from Mandarin as continental European languages from English. You're hearing dialect-accented Mandarin, which to the ear is like French-accented English, for instance. The same way people don't learn Southern American accented English (Georgia, Texas, etc.) either when they study English.

@@mypartyisprivate8693 I knew East to West would have different dialects but I forgot North to South do also. I visited in 2015 and we first went to Beijing where I purposely had our guide teach me sayings for street vendors - how much, no thanks, I said no, and even "I already told you no. I'm not interested. Goodbye." (Used that only once, got a ton of laughter but the guy understood and went his way.) Second we got down to Xi'an and then Guilin, my pathetic attempts at the local language went down the drain. Now I had to deal with my terrible accent mixed with cities that have their own accents. But hey. I survived. Charades always becomes the universal language I think, because it became super easy to communicate by pointing.

You think simply driving a motorcycle makes you rebellious? Are you a 13yo teenage girl? Anyways, they're riding motorcycles in China which has notoriously bad drivers. Plus they have video and voice recording gear on the helmets.

@@ShaferHart he was referring to the construction guy, they never have a helmet on

Quebec still likes to pretend they're French.

still happens here in the uk at least

I see motorbikes around Qingdao all the time as long as they have number plates.

Ask if they speak Korean first. Because they need to mentally adjust to that before coming at them cold.

That switch thing is real. I was in London a few years ago when another tourist tried to ask me something in Dutch. I told him to repeat it several times saying I didn't understand him. Weird moment as I realized I didn't understand my native language spoken fluently.

@@systemicbreakdown7864 blame stupid statists

Also by Ben Franklin- "I LIKE FUCKING MY SLAVES"

@@systemicbreakdown7864 you do a lot of whining. Almost all your comments are super whiny. it's a tier system, the worse the US gets, every other country is between 3 to 10 steps worse. Africa: 10 steps worse. EU: 3-6 steps worse depending on the country. Scotland is a downright dump, and they're taking at 6. Australia: 3 steps worse. (And that number has climbed from 1 because of the losers in charge) Every country is getting worse because of the purple in charge. Since the US is about the same size and population as the EU, you need to consider reach state as a separate country for it to be a relevant comparison. States like California, NYC, DC, Vermont, are dumps. Free states are the last hope. For the US to succeed, the country needs to be split into an EU situation, where there are two separate territories. States with terrible politics, like California, and free states. You would be free to travel between the two, but they would have separate constitutions that would prevent left from infiltrating the free states. That's the only way. Or country to to divided to turn back. Half of the population fundamentally disagrees with the other half. The things they disagree on are the most basic things that form a civilization, and if you can't agree on those things, you can't be a cohesive nation. We must separate into two different territories.

@@systemicbreakdown7864 Perhaps it is in some areas, but other countries are even bigger S - holes. So I guess its only a matter where it's worse. And I promise you, people aren't trying to get into the USA any way they can because it's an S - hole. People usually run from a country like that, not to it. (Cough, Venezuela, cough.)

What? In your area there is no mass shooting, drugs, homeless. Seems you never left your village since your birth

Yeah, but we like all those things. We all have guns and shooting. And many homeless people like camping outside, like cowboys. They're pretty tough.

@@nmew6926 drugs/homeless/murder happens everywhere... We don't create a name for poor people/farm people and prevent them from moving up in the world because of where they were born...

Eh... I think the US version predates the social version and the work these people have done. The analog would be the US credit scoring ... umm industry? (do like 3 or 4 companies count as an industry?). Granted, it operates only on financial info, but it seems like a very clear lineage to me.

Not clean at all. Even the bottled water is notoriously dangerous to human health. Up to 20% of the bottled water in the country is actually illegally manufactured and they use fake labels.

Only real way to know would be to water test yourself. Cant really believe anything unless you have tested for yourself

I live next to the bottling plant and drink the water all the time. There are springs around Qingdao with Laoshan being the most popular.

They're grrrrrrrr8!

@Sakul yup

Lolwut?

@@cryptotrading8330 go away, shill. Fake money is fake

It's to do with tonal discrimination in your brain. Native English speakers in particular simply don't hang onto it from childhood. I experienced the exact same thing learning Mandarin, which made figuring it out that much harder.

Hey, the Chinese don't know their own language. In Chengdu I gave a shopkeeper 4 Yuan...he said no, he wanted 4...but that's four says i....no, four!!!! That's four, says i. He goes to till and takes out a ten. He pronounced his ten as a four.

Robert.... he wanted shi-. Not, si\. 四喝十sound close... I know, I speak English first and Mandarin second. Did he do the hand signal for ten? Maybe you needed more practice. Just saying.

@@DB-vd3vy I am aware of the sounds...he was wrong

@@robertreynolds580 s- and sh- can be quite indistinguishable depending on the accent. But four is always the forth tone and ten is always the second tone. Tone is how native speaker differentiate them. In some southern region of China and in Taiwan both 4 and 10 are in practice pronounced as si with different tone. It's their language their accent. They can say it however they want just like Northern Englishmen in the shires can pronounce English words in whatever way they want.

Draconian passive security is a sign people way up at the top are afraid.
