I would like to hear her speak english. Her dad's chinese is just as good as hers, but her mum's chinese is quite accented. Her dad is not native HK. He spent 30 years there, but he's obviously over 30. Which means he picked it up as an adult and perfected the accent.
I don't get what is the deal about the identity crisis. She is born and grew up in Hong Kong, that make her a cantonese, not cantonese cantonese, but a white cantonese, but still a cantonese. it is that simple. hmm...interesting, but i guess that can happen to some people from minority race,
Damn it, I'm sick of all these "oh she can speak better Cantonese than me!!!!" crap. It doesn't really take much to be honest, to speak better cantonese than most british/american/australian/canadian born chinese.
Most of us are pretty retarded when it comes to speaking chinese. There are several reasons for this, and it's mostly the chinese males born in a white country that speak cantonese like spastics. I'm one of them.
Interesting the focus of these videos is on the one sibling Corina Chamberlain but not much about her brother .... did he move back to Austrailia ? I imagine he can speak fluent Cantonese too ?
@extrekkie13 lol thats what i thought at first..but based on other interviews i've seen, i don't think she speaks English with a HK accent. The interviewer asked her how HK people speak English. So she answered with a HK accent. but in reality, she speaks with an Americanish/Australianish accent lol.
@extrekkie13 She deliberately spoke in that accent because she was asked in what kind of accent does the HK people speak English. In reality, she speaks English in her own native accent.
Hey as a Chinese person growing in Australia I can totally relate to what she says about being a "middle person" (I guess she means "in betweener") and feeling "strange" and not having her own place. I also think it's awesome that I can actually understand what she's saying because I don't speak Canto! (I'm a mandarin-speaker).
How weird is it that her whole family speaks Cantonese! I mean awesome, but still weird. They must be very talented with languages. (I'm Chinese- Australian by the way, so kind of the reverse?) I wonder how good her English is, because my Chinese isn't great so if she speaks Chinese most of the time then does that mean her English isn't that good either?
I was so surprise when i watched part I, but if she came to Hong Kong when she was young and actually that means she grew up in hong kong like other local people.But to be honest she speaks very well
I was so surprise when i watched part I, but if she came to Hong Kong when she was young and actually that means she grew up in hong kong like other local people.But to be honest she speaks very well
Home school in HK... mom teaching Chinese and English... very interesting. And being a 1.5 generation living in HK.... a Caucasian living in an Asian society.... like many Asians living in US... She is very multi-cultures and want to pick/be the best of both world... :)
@chihlitiger But most Chinese Americans can't even speak, write or understand basic Chinese whereas she speaks both Cantonese with a local accent and English in her own native australian accent.
For the non-Cantonese speakers here, could someone post what Corinna is saying in English, please? Thanks. :)
I was expecting at some point in the video for Corinna to speak in English, but to my surprise her accent is Chinese, not Australian! lol I was expecting an Aussie accent until I saw that she was in fact educated in Chinese and raised in HK and that, lo and behold, her parents spoke Cantonese as well! White Australians speaking fluent Cantonese! I'm genuinely surprised! This is cool. :)
Actually, the only occasion in this video that she speaks English is when the interviewer asked her "(From a foreigner's point of view) what do you think of the accent of Hong Kong people when they speak English?" So, she answered in jest by mocking the Cantonese accent . I think that's not how she speaks English normally.
@mcrazza theres one part when her mother explain during a holiday back in australia, she cooked her western food and show her knife and fork. She ask her mom what the hell was those lol
@Hozms: I think she qualifies as a native speaker in both English and Cantonese. But you're right, the Brits could have stayed a thousand years in HK and the Chinese would still not have learned a thing. To them all people outside China ("The center of the Universe") are just Barbarians. God Bless The Free World.
@azuremain: "the Chinese would still not have learned a thing...."????
Yes the subhuman inferior untermenschen chinaman should've learned something from the superior god-men from the united kingdom like how to go TO OTHER PEOPLES LANDS AND CONQUER THEM SO THAT THEY COULD EXPLOIT THEM......
i'm holding back everything from calling you a fucking scum sucking motherfucking asshole fuckface VERMIN cunt bitch.......
I won't tell you to go fuck yourself VERMIN "azuremain" asshole motherfucker..
Asians in the US can integrate as just as any other minorities but in Hollywood certain roles will almost never go to an Asian actor. Still it is better now than how it was 20 years ago, you can have an Asian male playing a normal American and not be chosen because he knows Kung-Fu or some stupid generalization like that.
I wonder if her parents ever yelled at her for not speaking English enough! I know parents of ABCs always complain their kids don't speak Cantonese enough.
Her dad says it doesn't matter what nationality/ethnicity Corinna marries - just as long as the man loves her more than he (the father) does. How sweet!
@kangolhat Well, if that is the case, if I ever want to date her, I definilty won't make the cut. There is only one person in this world I love "MYSELF", the other people can share whatever love there is left, with each other ha ha ha
im proud to be from hong kong...a unique society that sees the races blend together. everyone will experience a certain degree of racism crap, but to be able to live under the same roof like corinna for over 20+ years, and not making her feel like an outsider, hell im proud to be from hong kong.
Bruce Lee could speak,write and read perfectly in English, and he graduated in University of Washington. He was regarded as a genius, but found himself had no chance in the west, and that's why he went back to hong kong. Compare to this white girl, ROFL LMFAO. The world is unfair.
Agree with ya, Western society is racist against all non-whites, but East Asian society treat white foreigners like gods but are racist towards other non-EastAsian people. What a shame. Regardless, this Caucasian-Chinese girl is very cute.
ThisisDream, I don't agree with you. Bruce was a pioneer for Asian to find its place in Hollywood. Today we've Chow Yun Fat, Jacky Chan, Jet Li, Gong Li, Cheung Ge Yi, Lucy Liu...... Can you give you the same number of accomplished Caucasian actors in Asian ?
Don't forget Gregory Rivers (河国荣）who was with TVB in HK for 20 yrs & never given any significant role. Frustrated he now has chosen not to renew his contract with TVB. That is injustice.
I think HK is still a little bit backwards in terms of having equal opportunities for people of all color and races. I'm very sadden that Gregory Rivers is not as big as he should be in HK. But thing have changed greatly all around the world since Bruce Lee's time. If he was still alive today I'm more than certain he will be as well respected as Clint Eastwood in the west.
@ThisIsDream This is a good thing. That shows Chinese are magnanimous people (well most are), especially as a foreigner, if you can show you speak their language and/or can appreciate their culture as opposed to people in the West, despite all their cheap talk about equal human rights
Firstly I must say that I hate to group ethnicity by skin colour. However,I would like to response to the comment that Chinese are yellow is incorrect. I think Caucausians are more yellow than Chinese. Not all Europeans are blonde but the what is the colour of blonde? It is yellow, very yellow! If you look at Europeans closely they are in fact more yellow than any other races. Then again as I have said before using colour to classify the human race is disgusting.
I think you meant that it's NOT WISE for a Chinese person to not adopt the use of Chinese, rather than having a low intelligence. There are tons of brilliant students at my school (Queen's University) that are CBCs and they are absolutely intelligent in both education and living life. Heck, our school comprised of 90% white people, and who says white people are inferior than asians?
OMFG after watching this, i am speechless. its very rare to see whites or indeed non-chinese people speak cantonese, and yet here she does it extremely well. she's fantastic. plus she's so fluent and the pronounciations are spot-on. if she had been speaking on the phone, then i wouldn't have thought that she would be white. awesome, thanks for posting this
I know a lot of non-Chinese people who were born and raised in Hong Kong all their lives and their Cantonese AND Mandarin is quite bad. I think Hong Kong is very unique and a person who does not speak a tad of Cantonese can survive in this city quite comfortably.
no i don't blame you, and your entitled to have your opinion on that .However ever you can't blame me and others for thinking that your level of intelligence is below average for judging someone just because they cannot or choose not to learn another language.
don't be ridiculous. I'm a HK chinese, but i can't speak a lick, (but i can understand normal speak.like this vid) But i lived all my life in the UK. I don't see why i have to fee lashamed for not being able to speak it. Im not going to live in HK, my home is the UK and for i know or i care i will live and die here. No point learning a lingo if im not gonna use it.
dennylau is right. i have to agree to a certain degree that, people look at your chinese face, they do expect you to speak chinese. I doubt this phenomenon will change soon. but ya, being trilingual in Canada is not really an advantage yet, maybe in the US it is
The reason they look at asians and expecting them to speak Chinese has alot to do with how Westerners view Asians as foreigners, even those Asians who were in USA, UK or Canada for serveral generations now. Even so much, they deny the Asian's nationality as American or Canadian.
For example:
Ethnicially, their skin may be yellow (Chinese), but they were born in America (natinality). Westerns cant seem to see the difference between ethnicity and nationality.
@theGLBT Well, I don;t think it's just the westerners. If I see a chinese-looking face, I'd probably think she/he can understand Chinese too unless she/he shows complete inadequacy in it. But frankly, most chinese, especially those who can speak both Chinese (be it cantonese, mandarin or other dialects) and English well, will show some derision to that fella.
this is a amazing family, seriously, i have never seen anything like this. were they all born and raised in hong kong or what? i have no words, amazing.
we can start a new generation. there are chinese people who can speak/write better english than white people, right? try to look past colour, we're all just human.
being able to speak more than one language is an advantage in any workplace, whether it be chinese, japanese, spanish, or whatever. in MY country, people favour bilinguals, those who can speak french and english because they are the largest speaking demographic. chances are, someone will pick a bilingual over me, doesn't matter what race i am.
and just because you're a certain nationality, doesn't mean you HAVE to speak the language if you're born into a different culture. it's one thing to deny your own heritage, but that's not the case. i have chinese friends who don't speak chinese at all, but where's the harm in that? they're not struggling to find a job or having a problem reading road signs because they don't live in china or hong kong. it's their choice, just let them be.
Corinna,We all face this existential question of choosing someone special to spend life with. Your soul is "baptised" as Chinese already. You only look Western. I was born in HK and have lived in the US and see Westerners everyday. You are Chinese with Western Face. I close my eyes and only see a Chinese person. Good test for seeing the inner person with your video. Best Wishes to you and your family.
Nevermind. Heard her speak a bit of english. Man she has a thick HK accent. Imagine her going to a North American high school. It would freak everyone out.
I really like this girl but WHEN did she start living fulltime in HK? did she spend half her time in HK and OZ or did she mainly stay in HK? Its strange if she stayed in HK most of her life but never learned how to read/write.
also what happened to her brother? was that her brother in the videos?
i don't think it's strange or rare that a gal who grew up in hk speaks cantonese fluently regardless of her race or nationality since she's been living there more than 20 years. it's like the case of a canadian born chinese, what's the big deal if a cbc speaks english well? there is nothing strange. the only difference is that canada is a multicultural place and hk is not
I would like to hear her speak english. Her dad's chinese is just as good as hers, but her mum's chinese is quite accented. Her dad is not native HK. He spent 30 years there, but he's obviously over 30. Which means he picked it up as an adult and perfected the accent.

I'm very impressed that her parents even learned Chinese... Most expatriates don't bother.

Nevermind. Heard her speak a bit of english. Man she has a thick HK accent. Imagine her going to a North American high school. It would freak everyone out.

wow she speaks better cantonese than me.. but then again i'm born in canada and english is my first language. juk sing mui yeeeahh haha.
but they really probe her with those interview questions, i'd personally feel so uncomfortable.
like "if you were to marry a white guy or chinese guy..."
"WOW you know how to hold chopsticks!" *rolls eyes*
"do you know any chinese swear words?"
OBVIOUSLY, lol what a stupid question. even white people who don't speak the language know the swear words.

I really like this girl but WHEN did she start living fulltime in HK? did she spend half her time in HK and OZ or did she mainly stay in HK? Its strange if she stayed in HK most of her life but never learned how to read/write.
also what happened to her brother? was that her brother in the videos?

i don't think it's strange or rare that a gal who grew up in hk speaks cantonese fluently regardless of her race or nationality since she's been living there more than 20 years. it's like the case of a canadian born chinese, what's the big deal if a cbc speaks english well? there is nothing strange. the only difference is that canada is a multicultural place and hk is not

but interviewer asks her how it is, and she's demonstrating it, not necessarily that that is how SHE speaks English

if you're raised somewhere you're bound to assimilate to the culture and accent to "fit in" more
