Reacting To My Past CHINESE ACCENT! | J Lou 

MaoMao TV 唉，mao

my mother languagen is mandarin，but I find it’s still super hard to understand what she is saying without the subtitle

still chan You can't really understand cantonese if you're a mandarin speaker. It's like you're an english speaker who are listening in German. There's a scientific topic about that.

My mother tongue is Cantonese yet I find her speaking too fast.

Chris Liu I understand you and you are mean

Nop not aware haha I guess that's the result of switching languages all the time! And being in an international environment

So what nationality do you have the most affinity with?

Wade Kong A lot of international students in Hong Kong that I have come across have this weird mixture of American British and Australian accent

I came to this video to find out what your accent is and it makes sense if you're speaking so many different languages. 👌

I can understand this. I don't have a proper English accent as well, being a non-native speaker who learnt English through exposure to people from different nations.

I thought that was Singaporean (saw it my first time as Yuan Yang at a Yakun) - I had no idea it was from Hong Kong! You learn something every day!

@@lnhart7157 same... I'm from sg

i wonder if her twin sister is taken..

I think she does plays two characters but does have a twin sister lol

Hibiscus Angel probably ahah

So she really has twin sister?????

Kevin Low We have the same story except I was born in England.

TWL84 her cantonese is flawless!

Malaysian here with coming from an English/canto speaking family. I can see the similarities

Can you speak all these languages perfectly?

cantonese is chinese lmao

Valde Philosophical Asmr define perfect

BananaKimchii Chinese 是 中文，粵語是一種中文

Cantonese can only be considered a dialect, and it's different from Mandarin, which is like another dialect. Cantonese and Mandarin are both Chinese. These are common sense.

OML I'M FROM SINGAPORE TOO

Genevieve Teo from Singapore here too. Omg Cantonese is like so dying in sg most speakers are the older generation only.

+happydenisedede ya ikr

HAHA I'm from sg too but my family speaks canto as a first language so I'm fluent in it

happydenisedede I can’t canto, only mandarin

WOW, impressive! ❤ 加油！

Chen Sailor Thats why I liked USA when I went there for vacation.. especially San Francisco looked like old Hong Kong. Was so in love with that city.

poortaiwanese Who are you to define which is Chinese or which is a dialect?

Because I am Chinese. To us, Mandarin is a language rather than a dialect. Although my hometown has its own dialect we are required to learn Mandarin in elementary school and our teachers are required to teach only in Mandarin. That's why Mandarin is understood across the whole mainland of China including Guangdong province - the only province in the mainland of China where most people speak Cantonese. When I visited there, they had no trouble understanding and speaking Mandarin to me.

LLL0966 But as the other person said, it's because Mandarin is the official language of the country, so you are required to learn it in school even if you primarily speak Cantonese at home.

ghost_curse There are about 270 dialects in China. Cantonese is just one of them. There are 23 provinces in China, Cantonese is spoken only in one of them plus Hong Kong. I'm not from either place, meaning I don't know a single word in Cantonese.

Most Toisanese I know only speak Mandarin and Toisanese. Only the older generation understand Cantonese 🤔

@@sophiepaiva1473 台山话=Toisanese=Cantonese？

唐明阳 really? But so many people don't want to learn Cantonese because they think it's not as common or useful and it's harder. Sadly

Really I think the opposite tbh I prefer the sound of Mandarin it sounds better to me and I prefer the flow of it,, probably because I’ve been around Cantonese my life.

I prefer mandarin but maybe it's because that's what I'm used to. I tried learning mandarin (I'm not Chinese) but it's just so difficult. Maybe one day I will

唐明阳 I prefer chinese.

唐明阳 for me, it’s easier to learn. Like most languages

Ohhhh...even before, our dialect used to be community based like Haka, Hokkien...etc.. Even in Hong Kong, Cantonese is the main dialect and these more ancient community dialects are lost

You kinda have to take into account that she's born is hongkong. Cantonese is very common there. Personally it took me like quite a while to get used to speaking cantonese (my mom felt like cantonese is a very rough language due to the swears.) to learn you gotta dare to speak it. That's the only advice I can give you

Andrea Tan We have lots of slang words that are used in daily life.. And most of it’s in a joking of sarcastic way :)

I was born and live there :)

Watch Stephen Chow’s movies, then you’ll improve your Cantonese rapidly.

I feel like Cantonese is easier than mandarin. Probably because I already know how to speak it

Emily Bruh same because cantonese has more tones

ye

MiTHUViSiON Yes please that would awesome and interesting

And I'm curious about Hong Kong TV at that time :)

where are u from?? I’m also filipino!

@Jacky Phantom my chinese side is a little far in terms of my family tree hahahaha but my great grandma is pure chinese!

Mei Tam dont speak english. always speak chinese. sooner or later they will understand.

I started to rebel against my parents around 6 or 7 and refused to speak Chinese but my parents started to ignore me when I spoke English. I slowly gave up and spoke Chinese again. Make your child watch Chinese tv shows or anime for me I loved watching Stephen chow movies

你应该在他刚开始学话的时候就用双语教他，现在只能去专门找人教了

Keep speaking Chinese to your son at home. Let him speak English at school. l grew up with parents speaking Cantonese only in Malaysia. When he grows up he will be fluent in both language. l also speak Malay from school.

this is a good opportunity to send your son to Chinese school in USA or to China to go to grade 1 and grade 2 after that he can come back to USA and know Chinese. but since sending him to china is costly so just send him to Chinese school. its a place where they teach kids born in america Chinese . this is a key opportunity because your son is young and is very capable of learning new languages very fast. there pronunciation is very good . Chinese school is a good way of teaching him Chinese. Chinese school is after school. there should be something like this by your area you just need to find one. theres so much immigration but many kids born to immigrants don't know there native mother tougue but some do know but lack the skills to write and read their language. I was born to Chinese parents but we didn't live in china. my parents didn't really care about my Chinese so I never went to any Chinese school. I know how to speak basic Chinese as my parents spoke mainly Chinese at home. I don't know how to write or read Chinese. I don't like how so many kids born to immigrant parents can't read or write their own language most of them know how to speak it. since your kid is very young you need to ensure he knows his language very well. if you wait any longer its only going to get harder for him to learn it. I now take Chinese courses at school and its hard learning my language but I'm willing to learn it no matter the difficulty. you as parents need to start speaking more Chinese to him so he can get use to the tones and sounds. over time your sons Chinese will improve.

I think she met ofws

There are millions of them around the world. Than the educated ones

not all Filipinos HAVE (NOT HAS), its shows your not the most fluent in English

@@KonfidenceRU-vid *you're Yeah. Not THE most, but most of Us are. ;) She's right though, There's variety of accents in the Philippines. Some have hard accents, some too soft. Nothing wrong with it. Everyone has different accents after all. 💁‍♀️

Fiona Rider being fluent in English doesn’t mean you don’t have an accent.

人家title都是chinese accent，你这个皇上不急太监急。呵呵

Yes it is. What's the national anthem? Who's the general secretary? Exactly. Tibet is China, Manchuria is China, Xinjiang is China. Also Hong Kong people were still considered chinese even under British rule so..

swag peach what's that ?? National anthem and general secretly ? 皇帝和太监？

被英國淦完就升等啦 噁心

Hk is under prc government no matter how much you want to distinguish these two by your preference or superiority of being colonized by England. That’s shame of you recognizing yourself as British, just like the pathetic black housekeeper guy in movie Django Unchained.

+bibodude oui bien sûr 😇 je vais bientôt faire un vlog en français en fait

Beaucoup parlent les trois langues (français, Anglais et cantonnais) à Montréal. Mais, probablement certain personnes commenceront te parler en espagnol également. lol. Au début, j'ai croyais que tu étais une étudiante latino qui avait étudié en Chine. ha ha ha
