My buddy Jayme has been living here for ten+ years, and one of his favorite things to do is test Chinese people on their Chinese language skills. Today, we're on the super busy Nanjing Road in Shanghai, putting Chinese locals to the ultimate language test!

    Respect to the people that dont get disrespected because a foreigner is telling them how to speak their language and just take in the knowledge

  • @jakel3812
    Damn gotta say his Chinese pronunciation is really good
  • @shawnthomas1375
    You know when you're native you're bound to make mistakes except if you're a professional or something because the dialects vary too much,but when you are an outsider you learn exactly from the book not from the people surrounding you that makes the difference. But no matter the difference in dialects the common term pronunciations must be known. Traditional is the way to go to get the exact essence of this beautiful culture. By the way I'm Indian I don't know shit about the language but I love China and feel connected somehow.

    Two things I can't believe: how damn good his Chinese is, and that our names are the same

    Lol it must be like "wtf" for these locals to have some white guy correcting them.
