I think Raymond and Sonja speak well enough English. I am very impress with their English. They both are bilingual or trilingual. That is very impressive and they are well educated. Sonja and Raymond both are attractive, full of charisma, and well mannered with nice smile. I think we need more HK people like that in the Hk city.
@753928 You speak like an uneducated person. Is that how hk people talk? Please don't embarrass HK people on youtube. I often wonder why so many hk people have such poor public manner. They love screaming loudly in the public. All you hear is um..hum..mum.un un un..Some Hk people turn cantonese into the world most annoying language.
they're English is not that bad.. some can't even communicate in English.. Ray actually says yo, hi, LF, Let's Chok the house from time to time lol.....
their english may not be perfect, but it's not as bad as some ppl are saying it is. not perfect doesn't mean it's bad; even some americans have accents when they speak. but seriously, why is this such a big matter? at least they can communicate using english. if you couldn't understand what they were saying, then that's your problem. it's not a huge deal if someone's english isn't perfect.
For someone whose English is not their first language...They both speak well. I understand everything they spoke. For those who criticise...are you bilingual???
Criticise only if you are bilingual and speak both languages fluently okay...so shut up.
Ignorant people are making positive comments on Raymond solely because he is cute. He speaks slightly better than the girl sitting beside him, that's it. They both sucked at speaking understandable English.
Being in Canada you really don't need to speak much English. Richmond located in Vancouver is called Mini Hong Kong because it's dominated by Chinese people. People who use Cathy Pacific are mostly Chinese people, so it's not surprising her English is not that good. Raymond probably have to use his English more when he was here for a hear.
otherwise there could be a possibility where they fatally cause a misunderstanding that can unexpectedly ruin the image and alliance between HK and Korea. With fame it comes with so much more than just being able to love and enjoy what you do, but surely they could only say what is appropriate and remain professional while "try" to act natural. Please do not discriminate them based on their English speaking skills and do create stereotypes for those that were born/raised in US/Canada and HK
Raymond on the other hand his English fluency if was true that he only spent 1 year in US to learn, he did quite well for thinking "on-the-spot". In addition, I must add as a fan of theirs, as a Chinese that was born and raised in HK then move to US when I was 10 means that I highly support HK TV actors/actresses and would not discriminate them because of their English proficiency. I mean come on people, be real they were probably and MOST LIKELY given directions to say ONLY SO MUCH
@Parakizz i agree, they do learn english in hongkong and/or china but they don't use english as much as chinese. I myself think they are awesome, and dreamed of joining as one of them even though my chinese isn't as good as my family members.
However, this also doesn't mean that because one lived and was raised in Van BC that he/she would speak bare minimal English as necessary because it was filled with Chinese people. You can be BORN and RAISED in US but if you were not provided with opportunities or self-motivated to speak and learn English then you won't ever be considered as a fluent speaker.
Learning English is far different than SPEAKING English. One can learn the grammar and understand how to properly construct a sentence, but to speak it fluently as you were to write it is totally different. Sonija cannot be compared to Raymond due to their background and history with speaking English. Just because you live in Vancouver BC it doesn't mean that you ARE fluent with SPEAKING English.
ackk it seems like they have limits to using English. Raymond has a bit of American accent. it seems like both of them are suffering. they can't find any better vocab lol. but they're so cute ><
If Sonija grew up with majority Chinese, she wouldn't need to use English that much since Vancouver has lots of Chinese there. On the other hand, Raymond came from St Paul which i believe it's an English school which makes his English somewhat presentable but in my opinion it still has very heavy HK accent. I don't hear any US accent at all.

@rs1985 well Im sure she can pull through UNI with that english i've heard worse.. its not that bad. but compared with raymond..yes she still has some chinese accent.
to note that Ray is asking what language should this press conference be in during 00:45. He was asking is it 'Mandarin'? and he got an answer that it shall be in 'English'. He was actually not prepared for it...
haha awkward interview. they should've invited jessica hsuan over too coz her english is very good and she's very talktive. ah ray and sonija looks a bit uncomfortable here
totally agree with you. i thought she was a mix and brought up in Canada. yet, some of my friend brought up in the western country, but cantonese is still their first language. However, accent is not important tho, as long as u can use the language to communicate is fine.
In Canada, teachers do not encourage students to get rid of their accent . How can a person have no accent in English as well in Cantonese? You will have accent in either way. Being in Western countries for a year doesn't mean you can master the skill of the English. I've been in Canada for 20 years and I still have little bit of accent. It's hard to speak both language fluently without any accent of one or the other. That's just my experience.
@cruel2003 Thanks!! I just think Chinese, (assuming most people comment this are Chinese also) we should be proud of our kind to even able to speak English! You can definately find most Chinese now days to able to speak some level of English all over China, but you can't go to English speaking countries to find people that can speak Chinese! So don't compare and critize about the way they speak, just be proud of them they are speaking outside their own language!
@akarli78 I agree with you for the fact that every person will have their own accent especially with multicultural background like me.I can master three languages, but still will mix up the pronounciation when I talk to the locals, but have a very different accent when I talk to westerners. I think every person will definitely get better with practise.
@akarli78 Right. Besides, the term accent is very subjective. I have been speaking English all my life and I still get tongue tied when I get onto certain words.

agree! i mean their english sounds ok..not too bad...have the ability to deal with the daily communication.however are unacceptable in accordance with their education background. still have typical asian accents and they speaking not fluent enough,
English and Chinese are from different language groups. English has a harder sound because of it's Germanic and Latin roots with different nuances. Just because you have a university doesn't mean you suddenly can speak fluent English without an accent. Consider that they live in HK where English is not the primary language and do not speak English for their work. It's hard to sustain learned foreign language if you're not speaking it consistently.
Oh, please. I study in Belgium and even though I live in Flanders and speak Dutch, we're suppose to learn French (AND of course English and German) at school (Belgium has 3 official languages: Dutch, French and German)... I still can't strike up a simple conversation in French even though I've been learning it for, like, 7 years. So I think they both did great in their English, a little accent is ok.
considering sonija is part british (i believe), her english is quite poor. however, i suppose you cant expect too much from hong kong stars because their environment does not allow them to practice their english. :|
Actually Sonjia's and Raymond's English quite the same. Their slang full of Asiatic. Well they are from Hong Kong, is ok if they had those slang while communicating in press-conference.
I work at a Canadian University and there are hundreds of students from Hong Kong and China that couldn't speak English if they're life depended on it. A lot of these kids come to Canada but they only hang out with people from the same country. They never use English outside of school and therefore never really pick up the English language.
it's a bit surprised that Raymond could speak English better than Sonija cuz Raymond only stayed in US for a year.Raymond did pick up a little American accent tho!I thought Sonija could speak way better than that cuz she graduated from college in Canada and she was once a flight attendant of Cathay Pacifics.
sonija has shit english.. not just bad... i'm from UBC and i speak way better english than that... i wouldn't say i'm without accent but she can't even communicate in that language and i'm very surprised. Raymond is hot and I think he only went overseas for just couple of years and he has picked up great accent... its just sad how parents worked so hard to send kids overseas and they don't even pick up the absolute minimal: the language
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Canadian school is not AMERICAN; she went to school in Vancouver, their official language is FRENCH! Just because you go to school, that doesn't mean you can't have an accent!
I didn't say you can't lol, I just said it was surprising because I thought she had been there for a long time.
How is English not Canada's official language? LOL we have two official languages (Eng and French), french isn't even a mandatory class after gr8 (in van). Get your facts right yo :)
Anyways as long as we understand what they're talking about that's all that matters... we shoulnd't expect their enlgish to be like a foreigner or like asian born overseas.. its just not gonna happen... anyways just my opinion
I'm borned overseas.. i"ve lived in toronto and New York City and Im in Buffalo for school right now.. and I've also visited hong kong alot of times( my parents are from hong kong) alot of people in hong kong have that accent.. its not uncommon even all the international students from hong kong at my school thjye all have an accent. And you may think hong kong is an international city... and it is.. but that doesn't mean people has to speak perfect english,...
But like Ive said if you don't use it.. and in hong kong you don't need to speak that much english all the time... you lose the fluency in it.. Plus.. the accent she has isn't uncommon...
well .. i don't know aboute kate and Sonija but Angela Tong is from Montreal and grew up there.. her english has to be good.. and Sonija went to University of British Columbia in Canada so it shouldn't be that bad.. then again if you don't use english for a long time.. you're not gonna be as fluent (and who knows if she spoke english outside of Class in canada.. there's alot of chinese.. maybe she's always talking chinese out side of class) too
Sonija was born in HK, but immigrated to Vancouver, Canada for several years (for her studies); so she isn't expected to have her accent removed (it's very hard to get ride of your accent at such 'old' age). PLUS, Vancouver's official language is FRENCH, not ENGLISH! Chances are English was only taken as a second language, in class or otherwise. I personally think both their English aren't bad. For ones who doesn't speak English often, they aren't bad at all!
Raymond speaks english without a canto accent.. in fact he sounds like he has a slight american accent.. i think his english is pretty good.. just a bit slow.. better than sonija anyway..
4:38 future past! what a genius! typical hong kong english!

English and Chinese are from different language groups. English has a harder sound because of it's Germanic and Latin roots with different nuances.

Consider that they live in HK where English is not the primary language and do not speak English for their work. It's hard to sustain learned foreign language if you're not speaking it consistently.

I still can't strike up a simple conversation in French even though I've been learning it for, like, 7 years. So I think they both did great in their English, a little accent is ok.

considering sonija is part british (i believe), her english is quite poor. however, i suppose you cant expect too much from hong kong stars because their environment does not allow them to practice their english. :|

sonjia used to live in vancouver, but her english isn't that good.. besides she always uses the adjective "great".
raymond's english is good considering that he learned english in hk, although he studied in the states for a year.

Actually Sonjia's and Raymond's English quite the same. Their slang full of Asiatic. Well they are from Hong Kong, is ok if they had those slang while communicating in press-conference.

I work at a Canadian University and there are hundreds of students from Hong Kong and China that couldn't speak English if they're life depended on it. A lot of these kids come to Canada but they only hang out with people from the same country. They never use English outside of school and therefore never really pick up the English language.

it's a bit surprised that Raymond could speak English better than Sonija cuz Raymond only stayed in US for a year.Raymond did pick up a little American accent tho!I thought Sonija could speak way better than that cuz she graduated from college in Canada and she was once a flight attendant of Cathay Pacifics.

sonija has shit english.. not just bad... i'm from UBC and i speak way better english than that... i wouldn't say i'm without accent but she can't even communicate in that language and i'm very surprised. Raymond is hot and I think he only went overseas for just couple of years and he has picked up great accent... its just sad how parents worked so hard to send kids overseas and they don't even pick up the absolute minimal: the language

Canadian school is not AMERICAN; she went to school in Vancouver, their official language is FRENCH! Just because you go to school, that doesn't mean you can't have an accent!

French is one of the official language in Canada. If you apply for government jobs, it would be one of the requirements.

I'm borned overseas.. i"ve lived in toronto and New York City and Im in Buffalo for school right now.. and I've also visited hong kong alot of times( my parents are from hong kong) alot of people in hong kong have that accent.. its not uncommon even all the international students from hong kong at my school thjye all have an accent. And you may think hong kong is an international city... and it is.. but that doesn't mean people has to speak perfect english,...
stephystardust 3 years ago 3
But like Ive said if you don't use it.. and in hong kong you don't need to speak that much english all the time... you lose the fluency in it.. Plus.. the accent she has isn't uncommon...
stephystardust 3 years ago
well .. i don't know aboute kate and Sonija but Angela Tong is from Montreal and grew up there.. her english has to be good.. and Sonija went to University of British Columbia in Canada so it shouldn't be that bad.. then again if you don't use english for a long time.. you're not gonna be as fluent (and who knows if she spoke english outside of Class in canada.. there's alot of chinese.. maybe she's always talking chinese out side of class) too
stephystardust 3 years ago
Sonija was born in HK, but immigrated to Vancouver, Canada for several years (for her studies); so she isn't expected to have her accent removed (it's very hard to get ride of your accent at such 'old' age). PLUS, Vancouver's official language is FRENCH, not ENGLISH! Chances are English was only taken as a second language, in class or otherwise. I personally think both their English aren't bad. For ones who doesn't speak English often, they aren't bad at all!

WTF? French is official language in Vancouver? are u fuckin retarded? What's next? official language in China is English? LMFAO
