What are people saying about you in foreign languages? I walked around the streets of China and Japan catching people talking about me when they didn't think I understood their language. See how I learned to speak Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean.

    I'm Asian and no one is amazed I speak perfect English in America.

    I'm actually hafu but I look very American to the average Japanese. I love to travel to the remote, rural parts of Japan stopping in at small villages and out the way places. The local's initial puzzlement at seeing a gaijin in such places gives away to a bit of apprehension as I approach them, but once I speak to them in native Japanese, their faces light up with surprise and delight. In Kyushu, I dropped in a few phrases of the local Kagoshima dialect and everyone roared with laughter! A gaijin speaking Kagoshima-ben! Imagine that! Even these short but sweet interactions are so very enriching and make the world a happier place for all. I love that your videos do the same. Keep it up!

    Wow, Cantonese? As a native Cantonese speaker, I almost never find anyone who knows about, let alone speaks Cantonese! Your Mandarin pronunciation is amazing, I am so impressed! My family's way of speaking Cantonese sounds a little bit different, but I can't believe someone, especially someone not born speaking it, knows how.
  • @smashleybreaks
    The little Japanese children encouraging each other to speak English was adorable.
  • 8:24 This young friend is so supportive! Imagine having someone like this by your side all the time, believing in you, encouraging you, with a big smile and keeping it fun.

    The little girls were absolutely adorable to watch. One was shy but she had a hype girl lol. and the little boy too, he was just not afraid to speak to you. Love your videos! they are just so enjoyable :)

    What I find the most challenging about learning a different language isn’t speaking it, it’s understanding when it’s spoken to me by a native. If you don’t have a lot of practice—(that is, opportunities to listen to it spoken by a native)you end up needing a lot of processing time. And that makes a casual conversation with someone in the street difficult. I’m impressed at how well you’re able to engage in conversation in so many different languages.

    Can’t wait til I’m at this level of understanding and speaking languages, it must be so fun chatting with others

    I am so impressed by the kindness and courteousness of the Chinese, Japanese, and other nationalities in this video. USA is Blessed to have this young woman representing us. Thank you!
  • @no_user_foundd
    2:45 my favorite part! The girls thanking you in unison is so wholesome to me. I’m glad you spread kindness everywhere ❤️
  • @suzieqmac2.0
    Thank you very much young lady for representing Americans & America in a positive light!
  • @bratzxrose
    9:22 this literally made me cry she was so excited for her friend to speak English 🥹
  • @chapman1569
    The sound editing is perfectly balanced, we hear you clearly, the music is not intrusive. So much fun to listen and watch. I am binging your videos. I dont travel but I like learning about languages and other cultures.
  • @johnvonachen1672
    I like that you had a short version of your video at the beginning and then the full length. Well structured.
  • You assert the dominance in speaking Chinese, Korean and Japanese as a foreigner . 😂❤
  • @kellyward3384
    I've been following you for a long time. I am so glad you got to go back to China. Also that you have reached 1M subscribers. Thanks for bringing your gift of languages to the rest of us and encouraging us to use our foreign language to speak to others to practice
