I made this video a couple weeks back, but I didn't get very much time to edit it until now. It's a video about pronunciation and accent in another language other than English. The Chinese translation (written part) was helped by Google translate a little bit. I'm not very good at writing, so excuse the grammar.

Please subscribe, to my channel, comment and like if you enjoyed it!

I want to know, there are so many people that always say, ''Oh your English has a strong or slight foreign accent.'' But I always wondered, what about other languages? Like when I speak Chinese (Mandarin), I'm sure I have a strong foreign accent too. Does it bother you very much? How bad is it?

If you speak Mandarin, Cantonese, or any Chinese language, I'm sure you've heard variations in Mandarin a lot. What do you think when I speak Mandarin, does it sound hilarious or crazy? I need to work on my pronunciation :O

If you don't speak Chinese, still, tell below what you think about Mandarin? Do you like it? Does it sound like I'm singing or does it sound harsh/smooth?

This might be a useless video, I don't know. I hope not, only time will tell.

People who speak Mandarin natively say I have a very hilarious accent? Maybe I do... hahaha

Please share this video with others, I'd really appreciate any feedback for improvements and opinions.

See you next time and please subscribe!

我做了这个视频几个星期,但我没有时间不多,编辑到现在为止。这是一个在英语之外的其他另一种语言的发音和口音的视频。

我想知道,有这么多的人总是说,"哦,你的英语有一个强大的或轻微的的外国口音。但我一直在想其它语言怎样?就像我说中文(普通话),我敢肯定,我有一个强大的外国口音了­。是否打扰你很?糟糕的是如何呢?

如果你讲普通话,广东话,或任何中国的语言,我相信你已经听说了很多的变化在普通话。你觉得当我讲普通话,它的声音热闹或疯狂?我需要工作,我的发音:O型

不过,如果你不说中国话,告诉下面你认为普通话呢?你喜欢它吗?它听起来像我唱歌或声音苛刻/顺利?

这可能是一个无用的视频,我不知道。我希望没有,只有时间才能告诉我们。

讲普通话的人本身说我有一个非常热闹的口音?也许我......哈哈哈

请与他人分享这一视频,我真的很感激任何的改进建议和意见反馈。

下次再见

  • Hey, I think your Mandarin is understandable. And yet, you do have English accent when you speak Mandarin. Oh, you are from Vancouver? There are so many ppl from Mainland China nowadays! Practice w/ them or listen to the Chinese TV.

  • @1234vancouver that's true! I'm actually from Victoria, but I'm studying in the USA. I'm trying to speak more Mandarin... At least I am understandable XD

  • 哈哈 每次看都觉得很可爱 像是刚开始学中文的外国人

  • @bysometimes52 哦,真的... (T_T)

  • I can understand you. It is OK to have accent. We all speak English with accents. Practice makes perfect. Work on vocabulary and expressions. Good luck!

  • @xuweisnow 好。。。謝謝:)
