Nina Talks to the People

[Kuchingsama]

My favourite part is when she says WOW at 0:32

It's like she is realising how vast the world is <3

[sungraewookable]

it's so cool to have her as a daughter

[xiaoai91]

watching Nina all over again..miss u nina..):

btw..what nina wore for halloween 2011 ??

[geofg]

@xiaoai91 She was a witch.

[madora93]

AWW Nina, i will miss you :( i still remember, this is the first video of Nina that i watched. it was last year i think. it's sad to know that there will be no more Nina. but, oh well .. all the best to all of you :) especially you Nina, you will always be in my heart :P sincerely, Nina's not-so-far-away fan :D God bless

[SuziTheMoose]

Geof, I've been a fan of Nina videos for a very long time. I read several weeks ago that you and your wife have decided as a family to stop making them, for personal reasons. As I mother myself, I respect your need for privacy, but as a fan I'm sad. Just thought I'd let you know. God Bless you, your (camera shy) wife and lovely daughter. Your longtime fan near Chicago, Illinois USA,

SuziMoose

[geofg]

@SuziTheMoose Thanks! I remember your name in comments from the "early days". It was a hard decision to stop, especially with all the nice comments we've received, but now that Nina is a little girl with a social life and secrets she won't even tell us, it no longer seems right to share her life with others. And, she's also more aware of the camera now and tends to perform rather than just be herself. So, the time seemed right. All the best to you and your family in Chicago! And, thanks!

[FreshRiceWater]

xinh quá~~~ Soooo cuteee~~~ Kawaiii~~~~:3

ohh hai, i'm people-chan~~~wiggle~~wiggle~~­i'll eat your konyaku jelly alllll ooofff itttt~~~jk.

[tareeq6066321]

I'm so happy to see Nina, please tell her I'm her fan from Saudi Arabia ^_^

[geofg]

@tareeq6066321 OK, I will. It will be a good chance to show her where Saudi Arabia is on our globe.

[XiaNingTian]

OMG, that's Konyaku jelly?? I USE TO HAVE THOSE BACK IN GUAM!

[XiaNingTian]

@XiaNingTian *used

[geofg]

@XiaNingTian I know a lot of Japanese people go to Guam, so I guess they brought them to Guam.

[XiaNingTian]

@geofg Nice. I never knew where it came from other than it's delicious, mine XD Oh! My best friend is Japanese and I have had a lot of exposure to Nihongo and Nihongo culture. . . when I hear her family speak it, it sounds so awkward for me. But I listen to stuff like anime, music, tv shows or interviews, not as weird to hear. You know what's up there? PS: Konnichiwa. Forgot to say hi :D

[XiaNingTian]

@geofg I meant *Ohayou.

[geofg]

@XiaNingTian It's afternoon now, so Konnichiwa is OK too.

[XiaNingTian]

@geofg Hahaha, when I sent that, it was roughly. . . I think 6:30AM. Now it is about 10:30PM when I send this. . . lols. Nina is adorable!!

[minniezm]

my friend told me about her and said that i have to watch this

Nina is soooo adorable!

Nina wa kawaiii desu!!!!

[azlia85]

[koharubiyori001]

こんにゃくゼリー二個食べたのはママに内緒だよって言った後、そ­ういえばこんにゃくゼリー食べたいなって思い出したのか、”あ、­こんにゃくゼリーまだある？”って聞いてるニーナちゃんがとって­もかわいいです。

[diarisenja]

I'm silent viewer and big fan of Nina. I check your site everyday to make sure everything okay but no new video posted, so I'm quite sad and worry. I hope you and your family are safe and sound right now.

[geofg]

@diarisenja We are fine here in Nagoya, thanks. I just haven't felt like putting up a new video with all that is going on, but I will probably put something up tonight or tomorrow.

[vasthyagain]

i wonder how is nina in japan? :'( please let her be okay and safe from the tsunami

[geofg]

@vasthyagain We are fine here in Nagoya! Thank you! We just feel so sorry for all the families whose lives have been destroyed.

[AmatuALLAH92]

i want you to be my sister :)

[mandykidman]

OMG ! her japanese is really good ! honto ni jozu desu!

I think she speaks japanese much more comfortably than english?

thanks for sharing and giving me the idea to do this when I have my kid too! hopefully, my kid will be comfortable with the camera!=)

and your daughter's so smart! she was. "hi people...*one second later* but this is camera."

=D

[geofg]

@mandykidman Yeah, Japanese is her first language. Good luck in raising a bilingual child of your own in the future!

[mandykidman]

@geofg thanks! must be hard huh? so, you're the one she speaks english with and she speaks japanese with her mom.. right? like you are in charge of teaching her english.. yeah? where are you from originally? =)

[geofg]

@mandykidman Yep, that's it.  I'm from California originally.

[mandykidman]

@geofg wow! I heard tht place is nice! I will try to go there if I have the time. sometime in this 2 years before I leave north america.. =) I suppose you speak japanese too? so, you're working in japan? how's it for a foreigner working there? (if you don't mind my asking. sorry. thanks)

[Calumaritzu]

This has to be the cutest video on YouTube. I love you, Nina!

[famousnobodies]

she speaks so well!! I'm jealous! haha!

[kintaherawan]

why you have to be so cute, Nina?? <3

you just like Doraemon who likes konnyaku jelly ;)

and i look forward to seeing you in new pjs this year :D :D

*i notice that this pj is worn in nina's quiz show, subway sandwich night 2, nina's pantomime quiz, just to name a few ;p *

[geofg]

@kintaherawan I know! My wife and I also realized that she has worn these pajamas in many of the videos we have taken! I think it is because the time after her bath in the evening, or in the morning before she has gotten dressed are usually when she is most talkative.

[cdstingj]

Kawaii ne. Nina, you are so cute and your Japanese and English are so good for your age.

[xoOnatalieOox]

OMG. this made me smile the whole day. she is the most adorable and charming girl i have ever seen. she is absolutely lovely.

[geofg]

@xoOnatalieOox Thank you!

[nicmobass]

Haaa, she reminds me a lot me when I was younger haha.

Adorable girl <3

I learned some Japanese word to add to my vocab, plus I really enjoy listen her speaking English, she does it very well!

Big hug from Nina from France <3 !!

[geofg]

@SuNny64 Thanks, Nina from France! I like the name Nina because you can find it in many countries.

[erycha82]

Happy new year to u geof , Wife & Nina..

~Greetings from Malaysia~

[geofg]

@erycha82 I'm sorry you are depressed. I think during the holidays is a hard time to be depressed. I hope you have family and friends around you at this time.

Thanks for your nice comments and I hope you have a good 2011. Nina sends a hug your way.

[erycha82]

@geofg Doomo Arigato Gozaimasu! ...I just stressed out and my gastric burst out...huhuhuhuhu...but I'm ok now..^^ Hope that I visit Japan soon..I attended the beginner class for Japanese during my university time...but hv no one to speak to..

[geofg]

@taksangker1 Nina uses her mother's last name on her Japanese passport and my last name on her US passport, so she has two names!

[raimedsa]

love u so much, nina chan

[azel215]

such an adorable kid. everytime i stressed out w work & stuff, only by seeing her clips can cheer up my day.

[geofg]

@taksangker1 She turned five on August 10th, but we didn't make a birthday video this year.

And, no, just Nina. She's all we can handle. ha ha

[Mandm15140]

Konichiwa Nina, I love your secret and I won't tell Mama. I wish you and your family the best!. :D

[Luzcarita]

[varyzcha]

i like konyaku jelly too

[kusanagikyo1]

why you're soo cuteeeeeeee??? KAWAIII DESHO!!!XD

[ayahcu8787]

Is it necessary to put subtitles? I don't think so because she's not British!

[geofg]

@ayahcu8787 ha ha

[SuziTheMoose]

@geofg Geof, your daughter is adorable. I should know because I'm a Mom and I know a cute kid when I see one (LOL). Your daughter's videos really brighten my day and of course, I have subbed.

A middle aged Mom, in Illinois

SuziMoose

[geofg]

@SuziTheMoose Thanks! I like getting comments from other parents. How old is your child/children now?

[SuziTheMoose]

@geofg

Nina is adorable! I've subbed

A middle aged Mom to a teen (who I WISH was still this age)

In the midwest, USA (Illinois) SuziMoose

[geofg]

@SuziTheMoose Ah, there's my answer. I am already feeling stress about Nina reaching her teen years. It's all so sweet and simple now, and Mama and I are still the most important people in Nina's lives. I know that's all going to change soon enough. *sigh*

[mandykidman]

@geofg couldn't have said it better! "Mama and I are still the most important people in Nina's lives. I know that's all going to change soon enough..+ and all the worries and headaches will come buzzing then.. c'est la vie (that's life) that's why you make the most out of it now. =D

[SuziTheMoose]

@SuziTheMoose

Sorry I missed you asking how old my kiddo is.... well, 17... and so close to 18 and "outta here" as she says, it's buzzing in my ears.

Again, she is adorable and now a "bright spot" in my day when I need a silly and sweet vid to get me thru these last "few months" until my daughter is sure life will be "changed" when she hits 18.

Smiles from NW Illinois,

SuziMoose

[lompanglompang]

@ayahcu8787 paham ker lw bdk tuh ckp jepon? ha ha

[utotakoeh]

[mekidchapable]

[tooktic]

OMG!!! I'm addicted to NINA. You're really really adorable

Thanks geofg for sharing nice vids. You're so lucky to have daughter like her

I can feel that Nina has something special and I send my friend this vid

and she said she was falling in love with NINA haha

Keep sharing heartwarming vids

Thanks

[frenchmeasles]

waaah!! nina-chan!! she's sooo cute! she's my ideal child. lol

[Junyamas]

very nice video !

nina is very cute !! love her <3

and yeah.. don't tell the secret to her mama XD

[geofg]

@Junyamas Thanks! And thanks for your comments on the other videos, too!

[matchimrockdaworld]

so cute!! luv u nina!!!! ^^

[xXPandaTsubasaXx]

lol, watchin her makes me miss my childhood. I wish I was a kid again. I just turned 20...I'm so damn old!!

and I dun think it's hard to teach kids to be bilingual (or watever it's called)...I'm sure once you teach them how to speak 2 langauges when they're kids, it'll be easy...I mean when I was a child, my parents spoke to me in spanish but since I live in Canada, I learned how to speak english thru other kids, tv and my brother.

[geofg]

@xXPandaTsubasaXx How can you feel old at 20?! ha ha This is the time to be wild and crazy and enjoy your life and do all the things that get harder to do when you really are old, like me.

As for being bilingual, yeah, I agree that kids pick it up naturally. I just want Nina to have perfect English one day, not just be able to communicate.

[mandykidman]

@xXPandaTsubasaXx and you could've picked up french too! if you are in Quebec province.=)

[kumenkumen]

ninaa, ninaaaa

i was watching all your vids

and now i'm your big fans! love you ninaa chan XD

[AeyChoCho]

So cute.^_^ I am falling in love her. (^___^).... She very good in both language. she's cutely billingual girl . she leaning with natural and sense.. :).... sending love to you Nina.. :))

[akilvarmantikvar]

Nina, you are my favorite human!

[susuko99]

英語の勉強？になるので、視聴さしてもらってます。いやぁ、可愛­いですな。ninaちゃん。新作？も期待してます。 japanese

[alfabua]

I've been watching her vids all day all night LOL. I like the way she can switches both language immediately. Love you NIna-chan

[geofg]

@alfabua Thank you! At home, I speak English all the time, and Mama speaks Japanese, so I guess it's natural for Nina to switch back and forth.

[chyntiachyntio]

funya funya....

oh she's so cute..

i wish i could have a daughter as brilliant as her :)

[DreamTimeforyou]

She's so cute. What's your policy or perspective about teaching her both English and Japanese? Does she get confused of two different language sometimes or she doesn't think of them as two different languages? I'm just curious about how to raise a child to be bilingual.

[geofg]

@DreamTimeforyou Basically, I try to use only English when I talk to her, and her mother tries to use only Japanese. That seems to make sense to Nina.

[opalholics]

thanx to nina, she made all the stress in me go away :)

[mattgho89]

'I LIKE THE HUMANS!!' she is adorable!

[kuninana]

I fall in love with Nina since I first watched her vids two days ago. She's so cute!! Thank you for your upload. Please tell Nina that I'm her big fan now. Can I hug her if I see her?? However, I live in Thailand, so it's impossible to see her. keke

[conniechanggg]

she is so brilliant for a 4 year old. How did you teach her to be such a brilliant little girl ? especially with the bilingualism? is there any tips for the future parents who are going to race an interracial children?

[geofg]

@conniechanggg Thanks! We don't do anything special, other than I only use English at home, and Nina's mother only uses Japanese.

[ulan25]

I like...the humans.

Yey! =) Hi, Nina-chan!

[haafu84]

kawaaaaiiiiiiiiiii desuneeee...itsumo nina no video mitara i have to laugh :D (sry for the "jenglish")

[caletcalet]

wow, an average kid of his age doesn´t know what means the word human or the respective word in his/her native language.

[hellondoth]

OMG i'm in love with Nina!

[vaular]

nina.. i have a secret too...

"i like you"

hihi.

ur daughter is soo adorable. love her :-*

[eli1zeng]

i'm quite agree that you stop doing these video things, though i can't watch nina's most recent cuteness =(, but i think it's good for you to consider her privacy in the future =). anyway, tell nina i'll tell her mama that she ate 2 konyaku jelly. ha ha. lol

[Alizalinyellow]

nuna so cute :'D

[afiqahaisyah]

[wilinsen]

I always laughs when Nina says "are you..are you people?" she's sooooooo cute doing kinda thing and i love her eyes too <3

also when she nodded while says "to-today!" I really wanna hug her as a sister, cause i'm the only child.. :)

send my kiss and hug for Nina @geofg :) thanks..

[geofg]

@wilinsen Nina is an only child, too. I am too. I think for only children, friends are very important.

[wilinsen]

I always laughs when Nina says "are you..are you people?" she's sooooooo cute doing kinda thing and i love her eyes too <3

also when she nodded while says "to-today!" I really wanna hug her as a sister, cause i'm the only child.. :)

send my kiss and hug for Nina @geofg :) thanks..

[diyo0809]

now, i'm a really big fan of your daughter.. say hi to her for me.. :)

[dummydummz]

ooh nina nina nina..



[thegakuranman]

Lovely video :) I've always wondered, if I may ask, what sort of privacy considerations did you ponder over before starting Nina's channel.

? I think what you're doing is fantastic, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't wonder what Nina might think when she has a fuller appreciation of the world and the internet. How did you come to the decision to broadcast some of her life?

[geofg]

@thegakuranman My wife has more reservations about it than I do. I didn't start out with the intention of getting subscribers other than my friends and family. I've never asked anyone to subscribe or rate her videos. I was pretty astounded when they suddenly started getting so much attention. Of course, I am a proud father and would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy all the nice comments people leave on Nina's vids.

[geofg]

@thegakuranman I've tried explaining to Nina that people watch her videos and there are times when she will say, "Papa, don't record this!" and I respect her wishes. But, of course, there's no way a 4 year old can really understand that there are so many people she doesn't know watching her videos. I try to always make them in a tasteful way, and not put embarrassing things in them, but you're right, she may feel funny about it some day. I plan to stop by the time she starts elementary school

[nzra]

@geofg oh no..no more nina after this? i know this might be too much too ask but can u not stop like totally. maybe occasionally u could ask nina to talk to us people here?

[geofg]

@nzra ha ha Well, I my stop doing Youtube and do a blog about our family instead. We'll see. I also want to ask Nina how she feels about it.

[meZATY]

@geofg pls give us the URL before you really stop uploading Nina's vids on youtube,yeah!

[lilchickychic]

@geofg please do let us know the blog URL once it is published!

[mandykidman]

@geofg blog's awesome idea when she's outgrown the little girl phase.. =D

[hilmiocolas]

comelnyeeeeeeeeeeeee!
