[langitgrey]

rang dedao chiluoluo di xing xingwei...

[MegaXplode1]

did she say bullshit 0:26

[THESINER1995]

I under stood this then I took a arrow in the knee

[TheWinterWaterSong]

@THESINER1995 I'm confused. How does getting shot in the knee affect your language learning??

[UrStreatWrld]

mm..I think the tones are completely useless when they put sentences together, I only hear the intonation. When words are isolated, that's when the tones make sense to me..

[hujintao3]

One of the Vice Principals of the University of Dundee, Professor James Calderhead, had on at least two occasions referred to an ethnic Chinese lecturer at the University, Dr. Janet Liao, as a "Chink." If that isn't racist, I don't know what is. There are plenty more people like James Calderhead in Dundee. AVOID this university if you are Asian.

[boofy901]

I am Japanese/American trying to learn Mandarin!!

[schemuel]

great! with no translation

[ZhangMingXuanIsABabe]

shanghainese doesnt have tones

[DrSAM69]

Mark is on drugs lol

[TheXanian]

Ancient Chinese 3000 years ago was a non-tonal language. There were probably no tones in ancient Chinese.

[TheXanian]

counting from 1 to 10 in ancient Chinese 3000 years ago, learn ancient Chinese:

qlig njis suum hljids ngaa rug snhid preed gu gjub

[TheXanian]

Counting from 1 to 10 in ancient Chinese 3000 years ago: qlig means one njis means two suum means three hljids means four ngaa means five rug means six snhid means seven preed means eight gu means nine gjub means ten

[lowelight1]

0:26 L O L she says bu115hit

[portlandjoe]

So the word to negate something is 'bu shi'...almost sounds like "bull$hit", which makes total sense. This is gonna be an awesome language to learn; I already love it! :)

[TaeminlovesJelly]

BULL SHIT! Am from beijing XD

[sexxyperv]

I thought Chinese would be alot harder to learn because everyone in America says it's the hardest lanquage. But it you break the sentances down and remember key words then any language is easy to understand! I'm so happy, I've learned to introduce myself in mins.!

[MrAndreaspower]

is anybody have lession 3 or four?

[PJ3love]

hey Lady, heyyyy, how you doin? lol

[HeyyHoodie]

The romantic music in the background makes it seem like he's totally hitting on her.

[emeraldmorn]

@HeyyHoodie XD that's what I thought. I wonder how the video makers could have NOT noticed that. or maybe it was on purpose? LOL

[KOREANMANS]

xiexie^^

[ianthextckid]

[TehKingBubbles]

[shallball]

[SarcasticSheila]

谢谢 老师~!

[tophrocks234]

Wow. I've barely spoken Chinese before (Starting to learn so I can talk to my friends parents) but I was able to speak right along with Mark!!! I am Japanese profient, so the kanji with different meanings was cool XD I am a teenager, and this is so cool.

[Shitsuren]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! NO ONE LIKES CANADA, MARK!

Just joking. : p Just being random........

[Cactus775]

@Shitsuren

Mark was prepared to pretend to be a canadian tourist instead of american as he traveled

lol

[Shitsuren]

@Cactus775 What a braaaaaave soul Mark is...

[Brownie497]

xiexie

[Raiden738]

Yay from watching the last vid I got way they're saying

[Skyelight0]

woah. im learning chinese (beginners level) and when i first saw it, i understood everything they said! hah! that's cool!

[kthao05]

by your handle you're azn at least, but you don't see the value of this video? it's a very simple introductory dialogue, you probably could do it after week 1 or 2 of your language class.

[iluvnoddl3s]

WOW thtz very helpful on how ta flirt hahah i learned a lot =D

thkz foe the video upload really helpz wen yur studying mando

Tom Nguyen

[emeraldmorn]

@iluvnoddl3s except don't smile the creepy way Mark did at the end LOL

[sujoms]

chinese for me is: pao shün shá chungüö wai shingfau ma ..... xD

japanese for me: so nakate unankoto uchimaru katasono hatai xD

italian for me: sono pedro ma loro tuttiiiiiiii bla bla bla

japanese sounds cleaner than chinese and italians sounds cleaner 2.

[Smadlin01]

That's because Chinese is tonal ;), one word can have many meanings depending on the tone it is pronounced it. However Japanese and Italian are toneless, they could be spoken in a completely monotone voice and be understood.

[sujoms]

@Smadlin01

yeah imagine what if you have to yell but you are in big danger and you are chinese and you say: SHÜ exept of Shöü, and it has already like 40 meaning, but while you are in danger and you run and yell words sound tottally different

same goes when you whisper its just a fucked up thing

[Smadlin01]

nope, whispering, shouting, singing, none of it affects the tone. It's more like what part of the word you put emphasis on.

[sujoms]

@Smadlin01

hm, try yell like hell while running, try to yell: shuÜü shüüü shuöü shüöü (and all of these almost sound the same) while running yelling

[Smadlin01]

I think you may find it hard to argue Chinese when you don't speak a word of it, but i do appreciate your point ;).

[Catherinearmant]

Very interesting and superbly useful. Thank you.

[TheMasqueradingcow]

i like this but the music is a bit of putting.... it is very useful tho!!!

[Bermudablue3]

this is a really creative idea that actually works well! tnx! :)

[BlueTunisia]

Watch my videos for Mandarin Chinese help and lessons! I love teaching it and getting people to learn from my experiences!! Watch my videos! =)

[gljhockey]

phlingin shnagin wagin dagin flaggers

[Angeryterds]

[Angeryterds]

lol wtf o.o

[sokiai15]

the girl is so pretty!!

[ZhangMingXuanIsABabe]

lol

imaginary

[sokiai15]

nah im not stupid

[UTuberSandwich]

I love th is...the cartoon characters are so hot..lol!

[UTuberSandwich]

I totally agree with Lamnont. This is why I chose Chinese. I wanted to know a language that was in no way NEAR my language. I would have to humble myself and learn something I have no preconceived knowledge about.

[DarKAngelhapiz]

This is so cool!

cant wait till i learn cantonese.

Thank you so much for the vid.

[abbiebubble]

I was born and raised in hong kong so i speak cantonese but... i can't speak mandarin at all lol

[crackerjack113]

wow the canadian's flirting up a Shanghai girl gg

[Sviolinist]

I think this is the hidden reason why Americans like myself pick up Chinese. Well, that and for my PhD. But, seriously, it's for the women (shhh, don't tell)

[GongYinHai]

na liang ge ren de pei yin hen yin dang .

[clarkent69]

OK guys, 5 bucks says he bangs her before they get off the plane!

[nitsujj2007]

i'm chinese currently learning japanese..thier kanji have the same character as chinese but different pronounciation same meaning tho lol

[LastRqss]

@nitsujj2007

I heard of that, i'm wondering if i should study the kanji and study writtin chinese at the same time......

[MsCrunktastic]

@nitsujj2007 so its kinda like the same? because i feel like i can learn Chinese a little better than Japanese, ( i am Mexican-american, i speak English, && Spanish, but i speak English wayyy better than Spanish lol)

[DianaLn]

@nitsujj2007 I know, tel me about it! It sucks xD

[Krapiky]

@nitsujj2007 for a half japanese like me who know only half of the kanji, it's hard to learn chinese xD tho i can guess a bit the meaning of the phrase... but the pronouciation xD god it's hard >.>''

[PJ3love]

@nitsujj2007 pointless superfluos comment. Whats funny about that. There are maybe 10 languages in China that are not mutally intelligible. They also use the same characters, so what?

[takasora]

i like this, but i am currently learning Japanese, after I am ok with my Japanese i think i'll go for Chinese it seems fun...all the pronunciations...plus i'll finally be able to tell off those rude owners of that chinese food place near me...

[coolmantique]

SO when ur done with Japanese (maybe you are already) make sure to visit my channel, sub or watch my vids to learn chinese^^

[2u10n]

cool...I want to learn Chinese,,,sounds difficult but fun.

I am sure very challenge language.

I can only speak english, japanese, portuguese, spanish and italian.

[shaolongkoo]

chinese is easier then japanese to me

[somerandomdude999]

Japanese is vastly easier than Chinese. I tried learning Chinese and got completely stumped with tones and pronunciations. I managed to learn Japanese in a few months to communicate reasonably well in casual situations like paying bills, making reservations, ordering a taxi and asking basic questions around shops, trains and tourist attractions.

[LexanBecker777]

No, it isn't, Chinese is a LOT more easier when it comes to grammar because it's flexible and in general easier than Japanese grammar. Sure the tones seem difficult if you don't even attempt them but after a few weeks I had no trouble with them. Japanese is really hard to read correctly (out loud especially) I would much rather learn a few tones and than study Japanese because its grammar is too structured.

[UTuberSandwich]

I totally agree LexanBecker777 I'm on week 6 in my mandarin chinese lessons and I can understand basic chinese now! the first 3 weeks were HELL but I had faith in my brain's ability to learn and pick up new stuff. So now I'm cool with it.

[TakashiNippon]

your kidding me right! speaking wise i think japaense is the easiest :)

[GatoNegroChatNoir]

That depends what comes easiest. Japanese's grammar is somewhat more difficult (though quite easy), but Mandarin pronunciation (and syntax...) can be a hell upon earth.

I personally think Japanese is easier.

[paexou]

Chinese is slightly harder, becuz there are

reminders on the top of the words. These

words sound low, even, up and high. Japanese

words have one reminder like even or say quick, but also have many words for the same

meaning, so u have to remember all these words.

[Lamnont]

G3rman is easier.

[Lamnont]

Actualy it what languges are eisier, and harder depends greatly on the simularities between that lingo, and the ones you know. So if you speak spanish, than italien is easy.

[0x7F800000]

no shit sherlock? -.-

[qilongli]

lol that girls hot

[nyx211]

Sure. If you're interested in cartoon women.
