6:50 She has really clear intonation. A bit of Chinese accent showing through but, you can tell she's focused on accent with the way she uses "th" and vowels. Some people can spend 20 years with a language and not get this sort of thing down.

great to see and hear Chinese learn to know and adopt English language.

It's a shame that language can be such a barrier preventing people from progressing, but their drive to learn the language and give their children a head start is really admirable.

In the end, it doesn't matter what language it is.

All that matters is that everyone can communicate with everyone else.

English just happens to be a convenient standard.

We need to speak one international language.

I don't care which one it'd be, i have no prejudices against languages.

And since programming and scientific languages are de-facto english, it only makes sense to learn it.

I cannot really understand reasons for rejecting a tool that would allow you to communicate with people of any other nationality.

Love it.
