The Matrix Broke when I Suddenly Spoke All Their Languages 

Happy New Year, dear Pearl. :) Your videos are just too sweet. :) Always watching your videos with a big smile on my face. :)

Look andsoundsl ike everyone was impressed by your language ability =)👍

Wasn't there another product you used early on for language? I tried something you recommended but it wasn't Pimsleur I don't believe...

Is Vietnamese on your list soon?

YOUR CANTONESE IS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD ITS JUST THE PRONUNCIATIONS THAT YOU NEED TO FIX IM CANTONESE AND I UNDERSTAND YOU 😁

I love that quote! It's so endearing, the guy at 4:45 literally put his hand to his chest and smiled ☺

And if you show them money you talk everybody’s language

​@@jaymurray6051 then it goes to everyone head , heart, soul and pocket ...

👍🥰

@@rezmierais2904 and their bank manager and the bank managers mom 😀oh an then the bank managers mom’s window cleaners pocket to pay for lesson in Cantonese 🤟

That was so cute 🥹

So good to make the world a happier place

When I was stationed at Iwakuni, on occasion I would go to a restaurant with 2 or my friends and order "nanika oishii tabemono o mittsu onegai shimasu. Or "please bring us 3 plates of anything tasty".

I love your positive attitude about this, you’re winning at life 💙

I just enrolled in a Cantonese school.

What's the big deal. It's not difficult. The issue is people.

I can't imagine anyone not being aware of Cantonese. I've known since I was a teenager [over 50 years ago LOL] that Mandarin and Cantonese were the two most prevalent Chinese languages.

@@frankhooper7871 same, I grew up on TVB and Cantonese films, (and later Wah Lai Toi), My guess is that he is born post '97, but even then Hong Kong TV series and movies are still a dominant cultural export.

Almost all the china towns are cantonese. Lol

Extrovert supporting introvert always touches me. I am grateful to my extrovert friends.

Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God

Made me cry that was so cute

@@ytc257 Which god?

A huge polytheistic kudos to you,@@confustled

Once you can understand natives you know you have a strong grasp on the language.

@@OrientalPearl my thinking is... the next level is humor (which needs culture) and puns.

So true. This is an area that can truly only be improved by having regular interactions with various native speakers. I was born and raised overseas, but spoke exclusively Chinese at home and read a lot of Chinese novels, on top of being regularly exposed to poetry and Chinese culture/history by virtue of my dad being a humanities nerd. So in terms of communication and general ability I'm native level, but the scope of my interactions is very limited(My parents). Whenever I return to China I have trouble understanding locals when they speak fast, or if there's even a little bit of disruptive background noise. I've noticed that with English, I can sort of anticipate what people are trying to say by picking up on a lot of peripheral information like body language and intonation, so I don't have to actually hear all the words to understand. But because I interact with general Chinese speakers so little, I find it really difficult to anticipate what they are trying to say, so if I miss a word or detail I can easily miss the meaning of the whole sentence. So yeah. Even a de facto native speaker can have trouble in a casual conversation with someone on the street. The dialects don't help either.

Watching shows in their original language and with subtitles helps a lot.

Do u follow xiamanyc he's great at Cantonese and even fushoneez and what's the celebration here???​@@OrientalPearl

😂

😂

😂

😂

Because many Americans can’t appreciate people from other cultures that have worked hard to master the language.

So true👍

You can get there faster than you think!

Muffling behind the masks....😷 🎭 absolutely RIDICULOUS 😂😂😂

@@mariamoments478 what…?

@@moaswrld trying to speak wearing a mask is just ridiculous and sounds terrible 🙄

​@mariamoments478 You anti-maskers are the ridiculous one.

Unfortunately, so many Americans in the US do not represent the country well. They love guns, drugs, and money

I came to the comment section to write just this. Thank you.

How about English speaking people.😢🇨🇦😳🙏💁

Yeah, they really need it these days.

What’s an American? I’m American. But I’m brown, and look Asian. I don’t speak an Asian language. Is that American to you? Or does American mean ‘white person’?

Some pronunciation of Japanese and Korean languages are from Chinese language.

Assert the dominance? What the fuck...

they mean she takes the lead, don't be creepy@@sailenthotcarathot8540

@@sailenthotcarathot8540it’s a meme

Well said. Please subscribe and watch all my videos. You’ll love them.

Ofc no one is going to walk up to you if they dont know your language, its better to blend in and try to fit in in these circumstances

HK?

Hong Kong

P90@@Purple835

I love Hong Kong! I’m learning Cantonese now and really enjoy the classes.

these titles may be annoying to us subscribers, but they seem to work. 3M+ views on the last video. Money talks! I think this will get old pretty fast though. Hopefully she will find a better niché to showcase her language skills. Seems to be struggling a bit with the current one.

True but this is the last one I am watching, over promotion of a one trick pony…

why are you mad, she does not make these videos personally for you, this is her job

​@sottosotto4056 mad? Or bored or repeated titles. If you create things for others' entertainment, then the audience has a right to give feedback. Without feedback, how will she know what people like or dislike?

Yeah but it helps her get views. Real YT are struggling, meanwhile fake YT up just for money and fame thrive. It's hard to be known when you stay real.... What's YOUR solution? Because I can't think of any besides cheating.

Nobody with more than two brain cells sees them as the same

Maybe for someone who hears asian languages for the first time or not often it's only natural that they may sound similar. Doubt that happens often in the day and age when anime is so popular tho.

European culture is also fascinating. If anyone actually bothered to look into it past what Hollywood serves them lmao..

Chinese & japanese are not totally different languages. Japanese is like a distant Chinese dialect with 60% similar shared vocabuary with similar accented dialect like sounding words. the other 30% is native japanese words, 10% foreign imported words. Its easier for Chinese is learn & pick up both Korea Japanese& vietnamese. Vice versa.

I wouldnt say they sound the same theres alot of sh- zh- sounds in the Chinese dilect in which sounds like ch- in Spanish. I am bilingual in Spanish so I can pick on the sh- zh- consonant quite a bit because it sounds so alike to ch- (I forgot their x sounds like s as well) Not that you need to know or understand ch- ofc just I feel makes it easier

😅😅🎉😂😂😂❤

Agreed 👍💯 Oriental pearl hasn't disappointed yet. Her japanese and Chinese blows my mind everytime I hear her makes me want to get to studying bit more. 😮😮

Well said.

Thank you! 😃 I’m looking forward to learning a lot this year.

it's a pity that the amount of speakers are dwindling tho..

I've only heard that language in martial arts films.

do you not go to chinatowns in the west? though the numbers of speakers are dropping rapidly, there's still quite a bit of them left. @@chuckh4077

Go to china town. They’re predominantly cantonese there.

Thanks Nathan! Luck was on my side that day for sure. Looking forward to filming more with you when you’re back in the spring.

wow that is amazing!

¡Me encanta!

@@sumanuel gracias lo aprecio!

People are so weird and rude. You're doing the best you can

It's called white privilege

I know how you feel. When I was in grad school in Chinese my classmates were strict with me.

I’m glad that you found my channel through Instagram! I’ve been working hard at trying to grow that account.

Sending love from Japan to Texas.

I’m so glad you enjoy these videos.

You're interactions with other people are unbelievably interesting!! I think it's funny when somebody is speaking about you in they're language and you answer in their language. Your video content is both fun and witty!! Cheers from Canada!! 🇨🇦

Thank you so much!!

Ha ha but in reality Japanese is the hardest.

It’s not too late to learn.

Thanks for being here all this time.

I’ll be back in Hong Kong soon for sure!

Why is she called anming?

@@tiberianexcalibur it's probably her "chinese name", to make it easier for chinese speakers to call her

Thank you so much!!
