Have you notice that Chinese people never make fun of their "white" accents? I feel so bad when there's "Asian accent" suggested video on the left side of my screen.
You're doing really good =) My english after a month of learning is worse than that :P
This no wonder because mandarin is one of the easiest language of the world. Das ist kein Wunder, weil Chinesisch die leichteste Sprache der Welt ist! Jedoch spricht der Typ ziemlich gebrochen. This guy speaks mandarin not fluently. 在世間漢語好象是很容 話!你應該說中文!
@cccEngineer what's going virally global? Have you not realised yet the most spoken language in the world is still Mandarin? English did not even come in 2nd! Spanish came next! Like... SURPRISE!!

I like all the Chinese, but I dislike the use of 'er' because I am learning in Taiwan so they have totally biased me. His Chinese is good, a little pained and slow but very big vocabulary for only a month.
it's interesting that there's more canadians trying to learn chinese compare to the states.(judging from youtube videos. =P) maybe because of immigration or maybe canadians are just way more opened to diverse culture! =)
Non-Chinese males who learn Chinese do it for one reason: It makes it easier to fuck Chinese women. Actually, don't really need it, because these Chinese bitches have major yellow fever and are just dying to suck some white cock.
@dxfreight I got my ideas from observing the world. Open your eyes and look around .. that's how I got my ideas from. Although white fever is not as rampant with Oriental pussy these days as it was let's say 5 years ago.

wow that was great.. esp considering he only learnt the language for a month! there's a really strong non-chinese accent, but at least it's understandable (:
Fantastic achievement in such short time! You are right that there are still many words and a lot of grammar you don't know, but with your willingness to learn, it's just a matter of time before you'll master the language! 继续努力，你一定会成功！
who the heck r u to say canada is america and calling them shitty countries.. R U TRYING TO MAKE ANOTHER WAR..!! people like u.. r the reason, to start another war in the country.. just STFU! canadian doesn't rule nore america. so no one can fight about anything saying our country is better then urs.. were not here to argue about this who rules and whoes better.. were here to watch the guy speak chiniese
Yes, If Canada and America destroy eachother, the World will be a far better place. Or, perhaps the people could be spared, if only someone gets rid of their fucking Government.
the value of the country is brought down by black people and dirty wetbacks? if you're talking about how why other countries our not fond of the US, it's because of its capitalist ideals. Plus, the face of the United States are not these people, oh, and I'm guessing you mean the African-Americans(do not generalize). The face of the United States is the white American. Get your facts straight before making such comments.

just speak English. u have already been blessed by God to be a Caucasian. Many of other people from other race wants to be a Caucasian. and for Chinese people that criticize this guy, remember that ur English is not better than his Mandarin. and remember, Caucasian still rules the world. e.g: USA oh btw, im an asian myself, and im not from USA.
Well for a month's effort, i must say that im pretty impressed! His standards in this video probably needs at least, i dont know, 3 months at least for other people to achieve?
for those who think they have mastered the language of chinese try read this :) 石室诗士施氏，嗜狮，誓食十狮。施氏时时适市视狮。十时，适十狮适市。是时，适施氏适市。氏视是十狮，恃矢势，使是十狮逝世。氏拾是十狮尸，适石室。石室湿，氏使侍拭石室。石室拭，氏始试食是十狮。食时，始识是十狮，实十石狮尸。试释是事。

give the guy some credit, after only one month he can speak quite well... chinese is a nice language to learn, I know because I speak a little... wǒ huì shuō yìdiǎn... but I'm still learning.
This is true, but it seems he is taking his tones seriously. It's painful to hear people who have studied the language for 2 years and they completely forget the tones....
i can understand what he says well sorta cause some of his words are like hard to figure out. but then yea.. but thats crazy! actually speaking in chinese after learning it for 1 month! totally crazy
Not bad (不錯) Keep working on that vowel, u:. Like in Yu3 Yan2 or Han2 Yu3 and those retro-flexes, zhi, chi, shi, ri. That u sound is by far the most difficult for an English speaker to get since it doesn't exist in the English language. I started by pronouncing a long E sound like in "Feet" and rounding my lips into an O shape or like fish lips.
wt d fuck he is telling a lie i am in china i know its too difficult to learn chinese in one month he is going to be oversmart ta ma le ge bi ta shi ben dan
haha does anybody here understands chinese, i do, and he said that he was living in Beijing for 5 months. I dont believe that he was studying just for a month, cause he is using some grammar that he should learn on his 6th or 7th month, anyway he just memoriced some phrases and sentences and he is repeting just that. BTW nice for him, keep learning chinese CONGRATULATIONS!!!
its good to see some wise westerners learning chinese not only its very rewarding as a lanuage, into the chinese culture and all thats chinese. Learning chinese will also benefit your career greatly with china as an emerging super power being able to speak chinese helps u open many doors bussiness wise, and make u enjoy the chinese ways too.. good on you i hope u get better and continue to enjoy speaking chinese :)
Very well done! A couple more months and he'll be as good as Kevin Rudd, the Aussie PM. I hope to be as good as him someday. Mandarin is fun to learn.
woh sh co chee weh but im not chinese, im a filipino who spent my whole elementary in a chinese school so basically i speak read write & understand mandarin & fookien before but that was 18 years ago, now i cant even remember most of the chinese language coz i dont have to practice chinese back home, now im learning another language which is french, je parle francaise tres bien! congrats u must be a genius to learn chinese in just a month...
I am a beginner myself but I have been told from several sources, for an English speaker Chinese is one of the most difficult dialects to master and understand, speaking takes about a year and writing more like three.
For one months study this is excellent, well done.
Have you visited China for any length of time? As often staying for a time in a country can make learning the language much easier.
Hello, I'm interested in trying to teach you some English if you're willing to help me learn Chinese! I can't guarantee my English is perfect and I have never tried to teach English before....but its worth a shot!
You and your anti-chinese comments again...your profile says you're in the Philippines, you are aware that makes you "Asian" in the eyes of almost everyone, right?
How would you like if someone started saying things about "flips" or "pinoys?"
Did some Chinese person hurt your feelings in the past, or what?
I am jealous! He only studied 5 weeks!!! waaaa! His accent is really bad. But he knows a lot, impressive. I never had any teacher. I studied Chinese on my own and I stayed in China 2 years. I understand what he says but I am not very good (of course my accent is quite good but I never seem to learn a lot). :-(
It's hard to get a good grasp on Mandarin pronunciation quickly, and this is a whole lot better than most of what I've heard from English (or Cantonese, or Korean) speakers learning Mandarin.
I want to learn Mandarin or Cantonese one of these days. However, for anyone who things that is difficult, try learning Thai like I am! Even though I can speak Lao, learning Thai is just baffling. Chinese languages have nice, smooth, fluent transitions between words, very few consonants, mostly vowels. Thai has all the pitch-jumps and tonations but without the smoothness between words.
Ya, true enough. However, I'm talking about just verbal, not literary challenges. Even speaking Lao (or Thai-Dam), languages I was raised with, sometimes I have to really pre-think long setnences or speeches, not for what to say but how to say it. The farthest I ever got in Mandarin was "Nee hao, wa jaow NukSooLang. Wo shi Canada ren."
Then I gave up.
Oh well, one language at a time. Don't want my head to explode (any further).
not bad for only one month of learning! Come on, dont be so picky on him,I start learning english since year 4,but I still have a funny accent.(maybe coz all the chinese english teachers have funny accent too?)
His vocabulary is great for 1 month of learning but his tones are horrible (at the time this video was made), I hope he worked on them. Most Chinese people are too polite and always tell foreigners that their Mandarin is really great so it can be quite difficult to get corrected when you make a mistake.
Chinese people will correct you indirectly. They will often repeat words that are mispronounced with the correct tones and sounds back to you. you just need to listen.

I am a beginner myself but I have been told from several sources, for an English speaker Chinese is one of the most difficult dialects to master and understand, speaking takes about a year and writing more like three.
For one months study this is excellent, well done.
Have you visited China for any length of time? As often staying for a time in a country can make learning the language much easier.

You and your anti-chinese comments again...your profile says you're in the Philippines, you are aware that makes you "Asian" in the eyes of almost everyone, right?
How would you like if someone started saying things about "flips" or "pinoys?"
Did some Chinese person hurt your feelings in the past, or what?

Correction, Chinese is an easy language to learn if you put the effort and time into studying it.

Everything is easy if you put effort and time into it. The reason some things are difficult is because some people are lazy.

I am jealous! He only studied 5 weeks!!! waaaa! His accent is really bad. But he knows a lot, impressive. I never had any teacher. I studied Chinese on my own and I stayed in China 2 years. I understand what he says but I am not very good (of course my accent is quite good but I never seem to learn a lot). :-(

It's hard to get a good grasp on Mandarin pronunciation quickly, and this is a whole lot better than most of what I've heard from English (or Cantonese, or Korean) speakers learning Mandarin.

I want to learn Mandarin or Cantonese one of these days. However, for anyone who things that is difficult, try learning Thai like I am! Even though I can speak Lao, learning Thai is just baffling. Chinese languages have nice, smooth, fluent transitions between words, very few consonants, mostly vowels. Thai has all the pitch-jumps and tonations but without the smoothness between words.
Anywho, nice video.

Ya but Thai has an alphabet, chinese you have to learn several thousand characters just to write a friggin email.
TheDmashisno 3 years ago
Ya, true enough. However, I'm talking about just verbal, not literary challenges. Even speaking Lao (or Thai-Dam), languages I was raised with, sometimes I have to really pre-think long setnences or speeches, not for what to say but how to say it. The farthest I ever got in Mandarin was "Nee hao, wa jaow NukSooLang. Wo shi Canada ren."
Then I gave up.
Oh well, one language at a time. Don't want my head to explode (any further).

not bad for only one month of learning! Come on, dont be so picky on him,I start learning english since year 4,but I still have a funny accent.(maybe coz all the chinese english teachers have funny accent too?)

what is he talking about in chinese..?
jaytabz 3 years ago
His vocabulary is great for 1 month of learning but his tones are horrible (at the time this video was made), I hope he worked on them. Most Chinese people are too polite and always tell foreigners that their Mandarin is really great so it can be quite difficult to get corrected when you make a mistake.

Chinese people will correct you indirectly. They will often repeat words that are mispronounced with the correct tones and sounds back to you. you just need to listen.
