Clueless White Girl Orders Boba Tea in Perfect Chinese, Owner Stunned

- Today me and friend Jillian (@jjsaysnyc) went out to get boba tea (bubble tea) in Chinatown and she totally shocked the owner with her perfect Mandarin! Then we went around Chinatown and chatted with different people in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Fuzhounese. Very funny prank and social experiment - and then next time we go get dim sum in Chinese, which was equally hilarious! For more language learning vids remember to subscribe!

I'll teach you Scottish bro if you teach me Chinese lol deal?
It would be cool if I could teach u korean since I’m from Korea lol and I might lean chinese
do you have any desire to teach Japanese? id love to learn that language. i am part Japanese but dont know the language

Lolol I know
I think 🤔 he was like my wife , mother , and sisters don’t even talk this much. SHUT UP. Lmao.

Right stfu
Apparently “you’re too kind” is the only way to respond to someone giving u a compliment in Chinese
It's actually not the exact translation.
Yeah I’ve noticed this. He uses that specific phrase every time. Maybe his vocabulary isn’t all that amazing 🧐
@@jammy-44 he’s said it in many different ways, there is just no direct translation of the multitude of thank yous, and “you’re too kind” is the simplest way of putting it in english. he actually has an incredibly extensive vocabulary and if you listen to the words he is speaking in mandarin, you’d be able to pick up on the fact that there is a lot of variety with simplistic translation:)

Lexus Fox I’m pestering my coworker to reach me mandarin. Hopefully my mind is still open and receptive to learning new things. Fingers crossed.
I noticed that learning different languages myself. My mothertounge is German in which i always speak quite low and can also Sound a little mad haha.. when i speak English my voice gets higher and i speak more energetic.. but spanish is like my favourite language to speak... i always get such a good energy from it..makes me happy.
Freiwille how awesome is it that you are multilingual? I am just now attempting to learn conversational mandarin from a coworker. My relatives speak Spanish but I do not.
@@gr33n1e536 Must say it really is pretty neat! In Germany you learn English as soon as you start school and it really helped me quite a lot. If you want go further in German school, it is mandatory to learn a second foreign language, which was French in my case.. but to be honest after the third year it just got to hard for me and it wasn't as much fun anymore. Now that I am out of school, learning a new language has a whole new appeal to me. I am going to Panama for a Year soon and i can't wait to get more spanish skills!

MODESTY, DO YOU SPEAK IT?!
It's all the "rage" now but personally, I'm over it. I've seen about a dozen videos over the past couple of months and I'm good now. same shit different day. only thing that's keeping the views up is that Chinese people are tuning in now but they already know what the T is (no pun intended) and they'll eat up anything (pun intended) so he's become C E R E B R E T Y in Chinatown. frankly he'll hit a ceiling soon, everyone will get bored and then everyone will move on to the next stupid channel on here. blah blah blah
@@CarlosGarcia-kt2du *I agree with you on some things and disagree on others. I don't think Xiaoman will hit a ceiling anytime soon. He has his niche on youtube and there are few competitors at his level. Also, the people in Chinatown will probably treat him even better as time goes on and not get bored with him. They will be aware of how many OTHER Chinese people are watching which in turn means if they appear on his video they will be seen by many other Chinese around the world. This loop of self-awareness of being viewed by your fellow Chinese means they will be on their best behavior. Xiaoman's main challenge after that will be getting AUTHENTIC responses, this will be his main challenge and could lead to a decline in the future.*
He could move his vlog to other North American cities with large Chinese populations such as San Francisco and Vancouver
LMAO That dude is just like "Why y'all talking so much just get the damn tea"

Oh but no one is ever impressed when anyone speaks English. I'm French and I'm always impressed to hear Chinese people speak French !
What I love about this, is how people respond when you speak their language. Their faces light up because your acknowledging their humanity. It's decency and respect. I'm bilingual, and it has brought me much joy. And, yes, sometimes it is fun to freak people out.
Does it do anything if you speak English though...?
Worst part abt being Asian: they expect me to be bilingual but I'm byelinguall
Im asian and i freak people out when i speak my language when calling my mom. They say wow you can speak your language? I say of course. Just because i was born in usa speak english doesnt mean i csnt speak inbmy language . They get suprised like im a alien and say wooooooooow. Peopel get amazed by little things.
You arnt denying people their humanity by not knowing their language 😐
You should humbly learn someone's language.
The cashier looks so uncomfortable
He’s like: “stop talking to me, I just want to work”
"Please, I have a job to attend to 😅"
*Master Tan really said "where do you find these people!!" I'm dead 💀😂*
Facts
He's always a funny dude!
The way he just stood in the doorway with the hoodie on and his hands in his pockets. Absolute legend. More Master Tan!
He peeked into the shop before entering. "Dayum, they're filming. Better get my hood looks on, and make a badass entry....."
I never knew there was a community of white people speaking Chinese either ahhahaha untill I've found his videos few days ago 😂😂
nobody else is talking about the fact that the doctor singing "Drunken Butterfly" was the most adorable thing in the world lol

你们说的啥 😂
I grew up speaking Fuzhounese 😭 i didnt know anyone else could speak it from the US besides my family ❤
哈哈，美国很多福州人了，包括下辖县
I am so in love with the two of you. You creep out of nowhere, "pretending" to be the typical American, and then BAM! Speak their language perfectly and surprise the hell out of them. What a compliment when we Americans learn and speak their first language flawlessly. The world, especially America, can learn so much from you both. I enrolled in a Spanish class in your honor and I appreciate the reminder of how powerful language can be. When I master Spanish, I will attempt three other languages and then maybe think about tackling Chinese. That is a long shot but would be totally amazing. Our world needs more people like you. Cheers and thank you! Tim from Oregon
Hahaha u get the thumbs up man, anyone who says Creep and Bam in the first sentence is a kindred brother🤘😂 a warm Hell yeah from the shores of New Zealand. Shane🇳🇿🤛🏝🍺
I tried Mandarin on and off, but couldn’t get going with it. I took Spanish for 3 years in High School and can’t carry a conversation. I recommend you learn Chinese rather than Spanish but one, Spanish is too similar to English and there’s more opportunities with Chinese.
Cómo está tu español ahora?
"Where are u from?"
"Fujian"
"MY TIME TO SHINE"

haha
8:23 Big Fruit Fan! lol.
Idea: Talk to the vendors in English only, but talk to your friend in Chinese. Then, turn back to the vendor and translate what your friend said in Chinese back into English. Don't talk to the vendor in Chinese until they speak to you in it, or ask you about it.
Genius
@laoshu505000 does exactly this in one of his videos.
You joke, but once in an Apple store in Shanghai, an associate started speaking to me in English, but I was with my S. Korean friend who only knew Korean and Chinese. She kept asking me in Chinese what he was saying, so it got to a point where I was translating his broken English to my broken Chinese. And the dude let this go one for a full minute seeing me translate to her before I was like fuck it and told the dude to speak Chinese to us. Crazy part is, when we walked in, he started off in Chinese, then walked away to grab something and came back and only spoke English after that. It was so weird.
@@omarbinabdulaziz3106 WHAT SONG 8:58?
Genius.
It’s so beautiful to see how the interaction changes when they realise you can speak their language and you just chat rather than ordering things and leaving.
Dude speaks fouzhounese
Pretty impressive
when i was younger, there was no one except for my family that spoke cantonese. there weren’t many asian people in my hometown, since i grew up in louisiana, and most of them spoke mandarin, so my cantonese just began to decline since i started learning and getting better at speaking english, and my parents just slowly stopped speaking cantonese to me. my grandma only knows how to speak cantonese, but she moved away back to hong kong, and all my other relatives lived in california or moved back to hong kong. now, i can’t read or write any cantonese, but i can understand when other people say it to me, and my tones and pronunciation are absolute trash, but needless to say, ya’ll speaking mandarin and fuzhounese and cantonese just makes my heart so happy. lots of love!!

I work in a restaurant and it's one of my dreams to be a polyglot and speak to my customers in their native language.. especially because I see a lot of tourists and immigrants in my area, it's amazing to see how comfortable people get when they hear their comfortable language
You should then make a channel and film their reaction. Not sure if it's legal but would be cool

@Badger BadgerBadger Not people like that.
@Badger BadgerBadger Talking about pissing on their parade!
It's fascinating how their whole cultural expression changes as soon as they switch to Mandarin. They appear to be more humble, almost shy (at least from my perspective). It's amazing how much a language carries with itself :)
Isn’t it beautiful?
Seems much for comforting for them for sure
Matija Hanževački they also laugh differently ... makes me want to learn mandarin...
Matija Hanževački excellent observation. That’s exactly what happened in this video.
Actually it's interesting how you notice that, being humble is a very large part of chinese culture!

Its a unexpected thing for a native speaker o guess. Even when I say 早上好 to my colleagues they still smile and the Thai teachers I work with in kindergarten live when I explain in Thai when the student is confused or unsure, but I use English 90% of the lesson

This is just the best...so enjoyed this at the end of my work day. 😊 thank you!
Anyone else notice how he seems more energetic and confident when speaking Chinese
Switch Lanes- it makes sense now that you pointed it out. I didn’t see that before. Probably because this is something he has put a lot of time and effort into. Excelling. Like if he’s was a athlete that stood out; you’d be confident in your craft. Just my take. Or thoughts ig.
alexisjnea fact
I’m pretty sure it’s a proven fact that those that are bilingual/know more than 1 language have been known to have shifts in personality when they speak another language that’s not their mother tongue. And I can kinda confirm this because I’m currently learning Japanese and when speaking idk I just feel different haha, more confident and happy lol
Maybe it’s the flex of knowing another language lmao
Lol I have no confidence in anything I do bc I suck at everyrhing

We have a lot of third, fourth, and fifth generation Chinese where I grew up, who can't speak a word of Chinese. Same thing with the Vietnamese kids here. By about the third generation, not many of them can speak it. I worked with a guy name Mike Hernandez in Miami, and he got so tired of people hearing his name and trying to speak to him in Spanish, which he did not speak at all, being fifth generation Mexican, from Colorado. He used to say, "Uh, excuse me, there hasn't been a Hernandez in my family who could speak Spanish for fifty years."
ralph holiman
Yeah I wish my grandma taught me Vietnamese.
I grew up in a Spanish speaking area, and I’d screw this up all the time. Once spoke Spanish to an Armenian lady for a good 3 minutes before she told me she had no idea what I was saying... 😬🤦🏻♀️😆

Would be lovely to see a video of you and JJ singing duet in Mandarin 👍👍👍
I love your energy! I just realized that I don't have the confidence to try to speak to strangers. (I'm learning Spanish.) I'm not sure how you get over the nervousness of completely butchering the language, but I commend your bravery.
I had this issue when I learned American Sign Language, so I would tell people right away that I was a student and they were usually pretty helpful, and even patient with my extremely slow fingerspelling.
Isn't it funny how we're all soo fascinated by them speaking chinese yet every person they talk to in this video is bilingual 😂
Mostly everyone in this comment section is
Cuz it’s weird and loooks weird for a white girl to be speaking Chinese? It’s the same when we Asians speak English and they look at us as surprised
Myraj B yeah but it's more weird because it's more common to see asians in america than white people in china
I’m not really fascinated by them speaking Chinese. They studied and learned it. The thing is, English is considered much more universal - particularly in business and among people from all over the world who are educated. I think what’s entertaining about these is when you see the reaction of the Chinese people getting a kick out of hearing Americans speaking such polished Chinese - and even being able to be flexible with various dialects. I get a kick out of watching them get a kick out of what they’re seeing and hearing. But... They need to start branching out into other stuff. After seeing a few of these the schtick gets old. They needs to stage arguments amongst each other and think of funny scenarios where it would become a more entertaining candid camera type of thing. Besides, half the residents of Chinatown must know who this guy is by now. It’s getting old quick.
@@alexanderdewey yeah I agree...They should mix it up a little
Sometimes I feel like they are just flaunting their Chinese to these Chinese people 😂😂
That's the point.
JB Johnson It’s kinda like if someone flaunted their english to you, would you care?
Exactly! Being able to speak another language is impressive and one video is already enough to show that.. but like this is too much.
Ryan M No, I’m a singaporean and I speak both mandarin chinese and english to a somewhat fluent extent. Why, do i have to be poor in chinese to say what i said?
@@russellhan3534 Fair enough. If they showed genuine interest, I would probably be okay with it. However, it it were all about them, then I might resent it.
The cashier is like, “ Uh oh, I’m in one of those videos.”
Dude, your singing is awesome~♪
Totally did not expect that.
Loved how Master was getting into his groove too.
In reality he just wants to be praised for his Chinese 😂
That's why you're here. NOW PRAISE HIM SOME MORE.
😂😂😂
Obviously
Hey Zeus perfect 😂
100%. Every time someone complimented her, this clown would make a comment after like “oh only SHE speaks good Chinese”. He’s an arrogant douchebag.
Master Tan: "Where do you find these people?"
Lol!
Man!! You have some amazing friends who all seem to be fluent in Chinese!! Wish I had the time to learn Chinese. Love your videos.
Love your channel, more Jillian too please, she's awesome!
It's 3am and I'm watching a non-chinese couple having their first argument over rose-flavored bubble tea. What has happened to my life?
Man, I tried to learn Mandarin and I just had so much difficulty hearing the slightest differences in pronunciation that I wasn't able to get the voicing right. You and your friends that speak Cantonese and Mandarin amaze me. I learned Nihongo, Spanish, and now Tagalog, and a few words and phrases in Mandarin, Korean, Russian, and German. SO IMPRESSIVE. Not easy languages to learn at all. Cheers!
german is my main language
Matt Rossey salamat sa oras para aralin ang wika namin 😁😁
Oh man. That's amazing to be interested not just in many languages but to have spanish and tagalog as a foundation. I'm german though i grew up bilingual also speaking english. then i learned latin until i had my degree learned spanish good bits of arabic and now I'm learning zhulu some maya and mandarin

4:18 Best Quote of the Video. "Where do you find these people?" Master Tan dropping comedy
A testament to human connectivity. People are connected with their culture, to great extent, by virtue of their language. Peoples' abrupt reactions also make me smile.
So awesome! Thank you for these videos!
