Their pronunciation are superb, which give me lots of courage and motivation!! hopefully they can keep improving and help promote better relations between China and other countries!!!
granted, many Chinese learned many vocabularies. However, the writing (taking one of the best high school of china as an example) is terrible. The topic sentence doesn't have support. Even worse, they simply list evidence (no matter accurate or not) without any reasoning that connecting evidence back to thesis. It's not their fault because the education system is only focusing on grammar and vocabulary (I know this because I was in Chinese public school before). And eventually they will forget all English because they will never use it after graduation. It's a shame.
I love this kind of interviews. Please consider to upload more of these videos. It’s always grateful to see young beautiful smiling faces when they chat with Mike. The conversation sparks. 很赞 👍
I’m pleasantly surprised at how well spoken these students are in English.. they’re certainly much better than many of the Chinese students I’ve come across who are studying for a degree in UK universities..
@@wendeng737 ah I see.. majority of Chinese students in UK universities that I have come across seem to be on a science degree and that would explain it
When I first visited China, I remember watching the late TV show where Ta Shan, a Canadian was teaching English in TV! Now it looks like all their students can understand English !
Mark Henry Rowswell. Of course, His pronounce is very impressive cause having learned with a master of "Xiang Sheng"(相声) which is a traditional chinese language perform art.
I just came across your channel from Xiaomanyc 小马在纽约, and I gotta say these kids are speaking amazingly! I'm just a middle class guy from Tennessee and this was interesting to view the everyday students of China, they are very intelligent and have such a sweet charisma to them. Can't wait to watch your other videos!!
Hey Mike, great vid, good to see the confidence in these students during your conversations, especially the two fellas with glasses - you can feel that they’ve got this ‘no compliments needed’ attitude when speaking, which is pretty awesome. Your channel is a goldmine, although I’ve only just recently discovered it. Thx m8 & keep it up.
The students you interviewed speak very good English actually...although the right on translation may not be exact, but they articulated quite well what the phrases may mean...good job!
lol I'm a native bilingual and even I find those words hard to translate! I feel that 辛苦了 and 加油 and stuff are quite Chinese and while you can certainly explain what they mean, there are no true direct translation. Similarly, a straight-A student is an American concept, as other countries, China included, don't usually do letter grading.
this is kind of Asian culture stuff😂 seriously not sure how to translate it😮 the western culture will not encourage people that way. will more ask for doing your best I think😅
I'm indonesian, i see major of your videos and i know a lot about live in china from your videos so thank you so much for your channel and gonna be happy and healthy Salam from Indonesia 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
The English language and numeracy are derived from Chinese literature including words from the dictionary are based on Chinese 20,000 out of 50, 000 characters.
I’m really impressed with the level of English of these kids. I know lots of Chinese people who have lived in the United States for many years and their English isn’t close.
How well do students of the best foreign language university in Shanghai speak English? Well, definitely not as well as the kids from the best primary school Teacher Mike interviewed sometime ago. Most college students didn’t have the chance to learn English the way today’s (rich) kids can (online courses, foreign teachers, English tv shows etc.)
I don't think so. China has entered an all-round well-off period. No matter how poor you are, you can afford learning materials. As long as you want to learn English, you can buy materials and recordings to learn
thank u.mike.i have to say that your video encourage me a lot as a reminder.I used to think study is none of passion.I mean my parents force me to do.your video inpsire my keen on learning.now i am a college student who failed 高考.Now i realized what my parents wants to give me.appreciate.redemption for me！
I was in Shanghai for business some 20 years ago and many University students approached us at Mcdonalds to learn English. I would say their proficiency had since improved from this video.
Hi Mike, I hope you come up with idea about foreigners try Chinese foods and see their reaction and opinions. Also, maybe you can ask Chinese people about books, what’s their favorite books and what book would they recommend to people
I love watching your videos so much and I want to watch these every day starting from now. Actually, people that can speak English fluently are charming to me.
Hoooooly moly........ before this video, I didn't know that nowadays Chinese students' English level has been this great!! As an English language learner, I really admire them! have to catch up!!!
Actually, I am wondering junior college student's English level.I guess there should be some foreign junior colleges in Shanghai. But maybe it's not a good idea to compare them with students from foreign university of Shanghai.
I’m in ZHBIT waiting for your visiting, contacting with u must be a kinda like a funny thing, such a foreigner speaks Chinese fluently.Welcome to zhuhai!
@@中西正稔 Sorry I don't understand your second question but yes I believe in Japanese, it's 旨味. I believe the Chinese had this concept 鲜味 in ancient times; but Wiki said umami was coined in the Japanese language in 1908. I'm not going to get into a discussion of which culture had this concept first since I really don't know. :)
@@permblue I mean 鮮度 in terms of foods we often express so that 鮮味 is just imaginable for us I hear that around a thousand japanese two combined 漢字 newly translated words in 明治維新 evolutionary era with occidental influences have got into Chinese vocabulary such as 経済, 哲学, 文明 etc. without noticed among chinese people, no ?
Well, Mike, to be honest, I'm annoyed when you called SISU a language school. It's a UNIVERSITY! The students study there-- literature, culture, society etc.-- rather than learning new languages.
