If my parents saw how your cantonese and mandarin is much better than mine, they'd probably beat my ass with bamboo ): great videos though, very funny :)))
Jason Liang but shes hongkongese too
Jason Liang true but I'm also viet too sooooo
😂😂😂
I'd like to see that! Please show this video to your parents and then make your own video of you and your parents.
Jason Liang it wasn’t funny until I read bamboo i can’t lollllll 😂

KevinChoi文 you?i know!
Not hard to learn mandarin if ur a cantonese speaker...
Me : laughs in sadness
yea
I love how you speak so many languages! Mandarin sounds so beautiful!!
My parents are from Guangzhou so I was raised to speak cantonese at home. I was born and raised in Argentina, so Spanish is my first language. Growing up my parents forced to to learn Mandarin too, so there’s that. I moved to the U.S. when I was 13 and studied abroad in France recently and now I can finally say I’m fluent with that language too 🙃 it’s cool to know there’s someone else out there who can speak the same languages
She knows ASL. I loved that part more. Nice to see that :)
I'm embarrassed being Chinese. Your Chinese is way better than mine...
Just B. traitor!
Joseph Owen 😂
well she was born in hong kong and studied in local hong kong school...
Lol don't be. I'm half Chinese, but I've never lived there so it's also not as good as hers.
Lol true tho!
So great of a video!! You're SO pretty omg and your personality is so cool!
omg so jealous I wish I could have the same background as you do!!!
Your accent when you speak french and spanish is so cute 🥺
I speak malagasy french english and a little bit of german spanish and mandarin, i’d love to be able to fluently speak mandarin like you
You're such an inspiration! I love languages so much. I can speak English and Spanish as of now but I hope to learn Japanese and another, perhaps Farsi.
It's interesting hearing about your multilingual experience whilst growing up . I am Belarus and Belgian . But I have been living in Switzerland since childhood . I attend a international school so I learn English , French and German. At home with my mum I always speak Russian and with my dad I speak English. But when our whole family is together we only speak French 😊😂 A lot of my classmates are surprised when they hear about this . I can definitely understand the situation you might have been in whilst being raised with so many languages ! I'm very grateful that I have the opportunity to learn several languages and communicate in them fluently! I like your videos 👍
Extremely jealous of your language skills! 好少香港國際學校人會講得廣東話同普通話咁勁。Alors je suis vraiment jaloux
Christopher Lee yours look pretty impressive too
Christopher Lee I think it is a great asset to have multi-cultural parents. Mine are not, but I speak several languages because of my ethnicity. Je suis une Algerienne :). Because of that, I can speak Arabic, English, and French (because of colonization). Since Arabic is a very solid language, it made it easier to learn other languages like Japanese and Spanish. I am glad I have the ability to learn more :) I definitely am interested in learning more Cantonese and/or Mandarin and reading Xianxia novels helped to make it easier to learn. I think to really have it easy while learning languages, you have to enjoy their culture first. Just my two cents.
UMMM Lee in Korean is... WAIT YOUR KOREAN.
Hui Yao Chinese ppl have that last name too :)
Christopher Lee 她的普通话非常标准！不过广东话和普通话不算是两种语言吧？个人认为只是汉语的两个方言。
You're so talented! I love watching your vids!
Okay, seriously mad props to you for your command of Cantonese, mandarin, French and Spanish.
Wow. I am speechless. Oh ya, you are impressive. I think I need more improvement from now on.
Good job!! I love your videos. I can speak 4 languages fluently: English,French,Chinese & Spanish ⭐️⭐️
You are killing it!
Huge respect to you J Lou. So many languages. Mines only English, basic Cantonese, even less Spanish (learnt years ago but not used lol) also lol at the end credits.
this is awesome! and you are so pretty! i love it when you speak chinese it trips me out haha
YOU ARE SO TALENTED GURL!!
3:34 Je suis exactement la meme! If you're anything like me, I'm sure you'll prefer reading in english because I hate reading and writing in french lol This was awesome! I speak 5 languages myself!! I subbed and I'm excited to watch more of your videos!
You are like my hero! I speak a Cantonese dialect at home, learned English, canto and French in elementary/high school, mando as my major in uni, Spanish as an elective and ASL as a hobby but I’m not nearly as fluent as you! I also learned Japanese and Korean but I wish I can be as fluent in Spanish and French as you! I’m so jealous!!
Wow so impressive! You look more Hispanic and it's awesome hearing you speak canto and mandarin. Totally wouldn't expect that.
love her skin color
wow! now your my favorite youtuber but not only a youtuber but a linguist!!
JLou, good job...it's amazing, you could speak 6 languages...I love to see your vlog because I want to learn Cantonese...You speak Cantonese very good and very fast...🖒🖒🖒
Of all the languages you know, it is ASL that I am most impressed with. Do continue to learn more.
I’m Chinese and I’m learning French right now at school. Your language skills are amazing, I’m envious 😊😆
Hello J Lou, I'm very happy to discover you as a person. I'm Half French/Chinese, my mom is from HongKong. I speak French, Cantonese, English, Mandarin, Spanish like you. I get the same reactions about my languages skills and my appearance. :)
You sound like a different person in each language you speak.
I only know how to speak Cantonese and English. I forget mandarin. I used to speak it, but haven't spoken it in a long time.
You seem to speak each language very well. Good job.
That's so cool I love your accent
you are awesome~ you're the best polyglot that i have found online ever
Hii
I am from HK as well, my parents are Taiwanese.
Then I went to study in the US and now I am doing a gap year in FRANCEE
Definitely impressed by how many languages you are fluent in!
Crystal Lee taiwanese?what’s that?
Taiwanese is the nationality of those people who come from the country of Taiwan. Ofc everyone knows that besides delusional PRC Wumao sheeplings who need to eat ridiculous CCP propaganda on a daily basis.
@@stefanexler8747 There's no such country called "Taiwan." It's called Republic of China.
@@stefanexler8747 Next time you wanna criticize PRC, make sure your grammar is correct.
Jinlong Yang the official name may be ROC, but that is a remnant of a bygone era. As an independent sovereign nation, free and separate from the CCP, we are now better know as Taiwan by most around the world especially in informal and non-governmental purposes. The people of Taiwan in an increasingly large majority prefer their home country to be referred to as “Taiwan”, and their citizens and one of their local languages as “Taiwanese”, and we are pushing to change our official name to Republic of Taiwan or just simply Taiwan. An official name is just that. An official name. America’s full name is the United States of America, Britain is officially known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Russia’s formal name in English is the Russian Federation, the Swiss Federation is is known as Switzerland, Australia’s official name is the Commonwealth of Australia, Argentina is the Argentine Republic, Afghanistan is the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Monaco is the Principality of Monaco, Bolivia is the Plurinational State of Bolivia, North Korea is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea while South Korea is the Republic of Korea, Vietnam is the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Venezuela is the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Uruguay is the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, Samoa is the Independent State of Samoa, Oman is the Sultanate of Oman, Nepal is the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, Mexico is the United Mexican States, Luxembourg is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Jordan is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Guyana is the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, Vatican City is officially the Vatican City State and sometimes referred to as the Holy See although they are different, Greece is the Hellenic Republic, Germany is the Federal Republic of Germany, Laos is the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and of course your favorite one to kiss ass, PRC. As you can see, official names don’t really mean much. It is what we prefer to be known as and what majority of the world knows us as that matters.
Omg I am jealous!! I'm mixed as well my moms polish and my dad's from Hong Kong too but I only speak English I wish I could I was fluent, this is really cool!
Wow, the effort👏👏 came here for french and I'm not disappointed
WOW！第一次睇你Channel！
又識多位語言高手啦！
You are beautiful, have a great sense of humor, and clearly linguistically talented!
omg your simply gorgeous!!!
You have a small Chinese accent when you speak French but you sounds pretty good !
That's just an opinion nobody asked for
Honestly, I started watching your videos (including these older ones that YT is recommending... LOL) so I would've forget my Cantonese. I speak Taishanese/Toisanese at home but ever since I moved across the country (US) and none of my NYC friends are Chinese, I've lost my native fluency a lot. I've been progressively losing my native fluency over the past 3 decades of my life, as I've assimilated more and more with the American culture. None of my best friends are even remotely Asian, let alone Chinese. So all the years I spent in Cantonese Saturday school in Chinatown and the years I spent studying Mandarin in undergrad and of course my lifetime of speaking Toisan/Taishan to my parents and relatives... has gone out the window. Most traditional Chinese tv programming doesn't appeal to me but I find these videos of you speaking in Cantonese (esp the ones with your mom) really enjoyable and relatable to watch. Because Cantonese exists somewhere in the far crevices of my brain, I don't really need to return to school to recall this language. I just need regular attention to it. Really hoping for an osmosis effect by watching YT videos. And hopefully not completely lose such a big part of my cultural identity. Thanks for making these videos and sharing your life with us.
Great video. Hopefully your videos will encourage more people to study languages and parents will provide their children a better language learning environment even if they aren't mixed :) I am not mixed but I can speak 5 languages too. Greetings from Malaysia
It’s cool that you can speak Cantonese and mandarin since they are quite similar but still different
Totally awesome! 😊
Woah that’s so awesome that you know ASL. I learned ASL but I’m not so great at spoken languages 😪😅
Honestly I wish I’ll be like you when I’m older ❤️❤️
Ni hao JLou. Wo Jiao Baobo. I'm amazed that you speak 6 languages. Good for you! It will open up so many doors throught the world for you. You speak both Cantonese and Mandarin so well and you don't look like you would speak Chinese at all. Impressive. I speak a little french that I remember from High School, which was a long time ago, but we had to learn La Marseillaise and I can still sing it. LOL As for Spanish, Hablo y entiendo un poco de espanol. Ni hen piaoliang! Zaijian
for the Spanish part, I would not translate proud as "arrogante", thats a bit peyorative, but instead you could say "orgulloso", which is a bit more appropriate in this context. Very impressive video though, such an amazing talent!
Nacho FdC also she translated actually to “actualmente” ( which is used more as “currently” ) rather than “en realidad”
Im curious. How often do you practice these languages so that youre always able to speak them?
This should have more views.
The way she speaks cantonese reminds me of the hong kong dramas!!! very nice to listen to!!
Mandarin and Cantonese are so different, how can one knows one and know another automatically. I am impressed with your French and Spanish which are also the two languages I want to learn. Why do you know ASL?
WOW! Subscribed because you're multilingual! COOL!
You're beautiful J Lou! I'm mixed as well. I'm Eurasian-American. Ethnically speaking, I'm 1/2 Chinese, 1/4 Irish, part German as well as a few other European ethnicities. However I'm bilingual and can only speak two languages. I would love to learn Spanish. I envy you because you speak 6 languages fluently. 你非常美丽、J Lou！我也是混血儿。我是美籍中美混血（拥有1/2中国人血统、1/4爱尔兰血统、一部分德国人血统以及其他欧洲人的血统）。然而我很羡慕你应为我只能说两种语言（英语和中文）。我希望学西班牙语。
Who’s watching this is 2020?
I know hw to speak Malay, Mandarin, English, Cantonese, Hokkien, Thai and french.
My mum is Thai n dad ia malaysian 😂
Judy Ying 盈盈 อยู่ประเทศไหนครับ ทำไมพูดได้หลายๆภาษาครับ

Malaysian❣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

My heart ♥ melt when she speak hand signs
Wow! I can speak and Mandarin and Cantonese, of course that’s my nationality 4 years ago. You speak Cantonese and Mandarin very well - if I didn’t see your face, I wouldn’t of known that your not chinese
She was born in Hong Kong so yes her nationality is Chinese
Your Mandarin is pretty nice
wow your accent in all languages is so good
OMG I loove your French accent !
aye J we should go kick it
Hahaha you made a typical mistake when speaking spanish. You said "estamos frances", it's natural beacause in english and french the verb "to be" it's the same but in spanish there are two verbs: "ser i estar". And sometimes it's confusing whether to use one or the other
She made a lot of mistakes haha, her spanish was barely understandable, but it's amazing the fact that she knows all that languages and at least try to speak it ^^
@@JemszZz barely understandable? yeah, it was a little slow and paused but definitely not "barely understandable". just because she isn't perfecly fluent doesn't mean that it's bad, she spoke very clearly
I am half Chinese and half Mexican. I know some Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, and English! However, my parents didn't really talk to me in Cantonese or Spanish growing up so I'm not fully fluent. I mostly just talk to my grandparents in Cantonese or Spanish :)
真的是偶然发现的宝藏女孩！！啊啊啊我好喜欢你 立刻关注了！
Impressive gal!
I am a Chinese 🇨🇳 girl who is from British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦 and I can speak Chinese which is my first native language🇨🇳, English 🇨🇦, and Spanish 🇵🇦 and I want to improve my Chinese in reading and writing because I am not super good at reading and writing in Chinese even though it is my native language. I want to learn French, Japanese, and Korean as well
I gotta say I'm truly impressed 👌 I can't barely mastered in one language I practiced for so long. Which is English. 😂😂😂 and you have like 5? Omg. FYI I'm a Cantonese and speaks mandarin as well.
I can speak cantonese, mandarin, spanish , filipino , ilocano(filipino language) french and english
I learned cantonese in hong kong. Cause my filipino mom used to work in hong kong and so she wanted me to study 3rd grade there. She also wanted me to learn mandarin so i have mandarin classes
So i learned spanish in my school in the philipines since i'am mixed american filipino, i also studied in the philipines for 2 years 1st grade and 2nd grade
I learned a filipino language called ilocano. There are 4 languages in philipines visaya, ilocano , cebuano , tagalog. But tagalog is filipino's main language and tagalog is what every filipino learn in school. But since my mom can talk tagalog and ilocano, I wanted to learn it to.
I'am not so fluent in french although i'am trying to improve, and hopefully i could, i also learn french in school.
Lastly, since i'am american you would proabably expect me to be speaking english
And if you really wanna learn some languages, be inspired by it,
Ye, thats it
You speaking French has never made me tap the subscribe button faster
lou u look like a princess!!!
Wow I am very impressed my 1 cousin she speaks like 6 or 7 too just like you! Just like most adults would say “hard study pays off”. I know how to speak read & write in 1 language well & that’s English 🤣 my mandarin is all scattered all over the place.... last time I ask for a fork because I didn’t learn the chopsticks I got a spoon that sits up on the table .... instead 😂
I’m Canadian so I obviously speak English but our second language is french so I know a bit as well. However I speak mandarin at home cuz my dad is from China and my mom is from Taiwan so I guess there’s a bit of Taiwanese mixed in there too 😭
they both speak mandarin
Your chinese is pretty good!! Compared to a lot of people who grew up abroad, good job :)
She grew up in Hong Kong..
Amazing! 👏🙌👍
I have the same experience is you! 6 language: Mandarin, Malay, Cantonese, English, Hokkien and British Sign Language (BSL) :)
I can also speak Cantonese but not as good as you :( you're soooo good DAMN
I can speak English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, French and Dutch (with a little bit German but not exactly fluent)
how is Hakka? I was always curious, bc I never heard anyone speak it. is it close to pu tong Hua or not?
Su español es bastante bueno pero todavia tienes que trabajar. Sin embargo, su Francés parace muy linda.
Hard to believe she can speak Cantonese! She is cool! & I wish Hanna & J Lou. They meet up in a special video! Please!
