Today I got a foot massage at a Chinese massage place in New York. They started gossiping, not realizing that I as a white guy was able to understand what they were saying! When I replied in Mandarin they were totally shocked! But then we had a great conversation in Chinese about how I learned Chinese and my time in China.

@@eliasvonbrille there are some people who absorb languages like a sponge. Most adults will never “properly” speak a new language and instead speak it with a pronounced accent and often make certain grammatical errors. Learning a language is very very hard for the adult brain so it requires a natural aptitude to be a polyglot like he is.

To the point the US government ranks languages in difficulty to dictate how long you should spend learning a language. Children are forced to learn and don't have a choice, which is why we have the term native. I'm guessing you're also a child lmao

It's because of his accent.

His accent is apparently so good when speaking chinese that he sounds like he spent a lot of time there.
@MadX8
@MadX8 Год назад
Oh yeah because of course you can just learn Mandarin from home by watching dramas right ? He's asking because he can tell Xiaoma has a very specific accent (from Beijing, since that's where he's learned Mandarin). The thing with you guys, English speakers, is that you take for granted many things like, you know, people speaking your language. But exposure to Mandarin isn't really an easy thing, like English is for most of us in occident. Which is why right now, you probably don't give a shit about me writing in English despite the fact that it isn't my native language, because it's not a big deal. But for Chinese/Japanese/Korean, it's always an amazing surprise to hear someone speaking their language. Because when you learn a language, you learn a lot about the culture as well. Which isn't necessarily true in English, since it's some kind of a "basic international" language anyone can speak without any proper knowledge of the UK, US, Australia or whatever. When you know that, it makes more sense why they're so surprised and happy most of the time.
