I’m honestly shocked to see how friendly the Chinese people are, because here in the West they’re painted as unfriendly and unwelcoming and that they live under communist rules. So seeing your interaction with them and how welcoming they are to you as a Nigerian is very heart-warming. Kudos to you for learning their language and speaking it so fluently.
Ah nahhh. They’re one of the most hospitable people ever especially here in my city. Obviously not every single one of them are nice but trust me the majority of them are warm and always willing to help.
Amazing! That young girl will never forget you. So impressed that you learned Chinese. So wonderful to break down barriers. Wishing you much success in your ventures. Stay Safe and God Bless.
It's mostly ignorance that makes us all have particular views about certain people and our experiences help shape us in either a positive or negative way. I'm 41 now but growing up in Nigeria, Chinese movies were staples, it was Chinese, American and Nollywood, in that order for me. If you were not Chinese or Japanese, well I don't know you, any Asian was either Chinese or Japanese and that's how they see us as well, as long as we're black, we're from Africa. Having people travel to their country and having experiences with them helps to change their mindset. I loved this and please continue to show us more (while I sit and finish my cdrama 😆) 😍😍😍
This is great! I'm so glad that such a smart and charmistic person, from a non-Western (European) country or the US, can go to China and have a good time. The endless China bashing is tiring, Western media still pushes that narrative and anyone on TH-cam who has anything positive to see is "being paid by the PROC". Sharing your thoughts, whether they're good or bad is priceless! Best of luck in all of your future ventures and thank you for creating such good content!
Yeah you are so right! That’s why China was kicking Africans out of China 🇨🇳 saying they gave everyone Covid lol 😆. They forced Africans out of their homes and hotels. You idiots always have to try and say negative things about the US any chance you get but run to our Country to make a living! The US didn’t throw Africans on the streets and out of our country blaming them for Covid.
This was a fun vlog! I am so impressed with your Chinese because I could never pick it up... And I love that you are so engaging and open! Keep up the great work!
I really like the sound of chinese and want to learn it. I actually know a lot of phrases because of cdramas. But the tones are putting me off 😭. I wish i was as fluent as you
Keep going trust me it’s so worth it do more than the phrases though start by learning some very common words like is=是 shi. I/me=我 wo , You = 你 ni , this= 这 zhe, thank you =谢谢 xie xie , just by learning these words you will start picking up on them when you watch c dramas and from there just keep building I can speak a good amount now and I only started like half a year ago
@@kenxd585 xie xie ni for the encouragement, i think ill have another go! Mandarin seems relatively easy when listening to cdrams and a lot of times i can understand a sentence without eng subs but one can't afford to mess up on tones. Are there any useful resources that helped you with tones?
@@BT-cm7xp my best advice don’t worry about the tones at first no one will judge you for messing up and most of the time you can use context to understand what they are actually saying wait until you can speak more once u find some words that are spelled the same and sound similar but mean different things and have different characters like 像 and 想 one meaning like/similair the other meaning want/intent (that’s a simplified definition) they are both spelled Xiang and sound similar but have different tones and meanings honestly a great way to improve tones is by watching c dramas hearing native speakers improves your listening and accent in the end just start honestly you will not regret it once you get more advanced you can look closer at tones and characters and proper grammar
I'm a non native speaker and Mandarin Chinese learner, based on my experience although tone is important you can do a trick by making sure you're speaking in the right sentence structure and ofcourse in the right context. Also don't conjugate the sound of characters..as there are many characters that have 2-3 syllables try to enunciate each syllable/character as clearly as possible..this is how I survive living in China...my tone was off most of the time but the locals still get me because of this trick
I must admit, my sister, I am in South Africa, your Chinese is so good, lol, I couldn't hear a thing, but had to rely on footnotes. Bravo sister. I am proud of you. You are so open minded. Good luck with your studies.🙏
This was actually so heartwarming. I've heard so many stories about black experiences in China that I still don't know if I could ever visit. The stories seemed way worse than other Asian countries by comparison. Anyway, it's so moving to see people engage in that way, even the little girl coming up and speaking English to a black foreigner was touching in itself. The group engagement reminds me of *Laoshu505000* who was a black American TH-camr who'd converse with people in dozens of languages, but mostly in Mandarin and Cantonese. Even seeing the way people's faces would light up when he'd switch to Cantonese (which most foreigners don't learn) or local dialects is so enjoyable. Back to this channel, though, I'd seen her videos before, but this one really put a smile on my face.
Love this. Some of the warmest, kindest people are in China. I always felt safe and warmly welcomed wherever I went. One time I got on the wrong bus to go home to my university and got totally lost. Everyone on the bus came together to help me find my way home, unforgettable memory ❤️
Girl please and please keep at it👏👏, you will speak even better. With practice and consistency, everything is possible. Practice and practice. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 speak as much as you can, always repeat after the audio and practice with your other classmates. Jisike
This is what I explain to my friends in Nigeria that Chinese are friendly people and when I visited China 30 years ago I was like Eddie Murphy in coming to America and in place of work in Japan and most of my co-workers are Chinese and they are very kind to me as well
Yo Chinese ppl are so friendly even when u can speak or have interest in culture like they will compliment you too as well and say you are good looking or something haha gives you much confidence
Love this video, and you strutting around like a model.🤣 Wow, that meal is something else, what a spread, yummy! Btw, you Chinese is really on point, how long does it take you to learn the lingo?
amazing video,amazing smile from the chinese.....they show the world what is the chinese color....the color is the color of golden love for others......they are pure ,the worl envy them........
I'm neither shocked, nor surprised. Black people are smart. She's very intelligent and well spoken. She's well read. Most Nigerians really assert themselves when it comes to education. She's amazing.
From somalia big rispect china people i know they are Friendly and very hard Working only Government have more pressure to muslim Chinese is Not only China but all.over the world dear superhumen Pray to Peace all over the world One love and Support the Reality.not the Fake
Wow ! This is cool. Just bumped into this and loved your channel. You must be having great experiences especially with your able to speak Mandarin. I have ever seen them this friendly. May be the language gave you an advantage. Are you from Awka though?
Very interesting and encouraging! Also, if you speak some examples of your native language, (perhaps Igbo?), if it is tonal, like many African and Native American ones. people would REALLY be surprized! Also, many Asian and African music styles use much percussion and drum music ( in N and C China, there are many versions of gauzi yangge (percussion harvest dances.) and their impressive choreographies. In some cities in some countries?there are international drum.concerts?. What about China? Keep up your great intercultural explorations and friedships!!
I noticed many Africans can speak Chinese, and I also noticed that some Africans have Chinese last names. Is Chinese language easy to learn to Africans?
I can’t say Chinese language is easy to learn for Africans. It’s regarded by Google as one of the most difficult languages to learn. I just think a lot of Africans are smart and resilient so they are able to push through and learn it regardless 😁
@@ucheobuekwe I know it's the hardest and Africans are smart 😁I think they pick up languages easy bcaz normally speak more than one language. Not in America they don't care to speak any other languages they feel we don't need to speak anyone's language they need to speak English so you can understand them!
I smiled throughout this whole video. I love how engaging you are when speaking with them and how happy they are to see someone not Chinese speaking their language so well. This video deserves more views.
This type of stuff does not get old. Seeing both you and the people laughing, learning, and exploring cultures is just neat and heartwarming. Keep on the video!
This is very accurate 😂 I’m a tall (193cm) black male foreigner also living in Shanghai. Whenever I go to other parts of China the locale always want to engage me and take pictures. They are usually surprised to learn I speak Chinese 🤣 it’s almost a shock to the system
Because Chinese is recognized as the TOP 1 most difficult language in the world. It is not easy for foreign friends to speak it. But once you learn Chinese, it will be like God opened a door for you. Let you understand new things and cultures.
The way the Chinese act when they hear you speak their language is the same way we Nigerians act when we see a European speak our language. That surprise behavior is universal.
6:53 - I love it, and could easily picture this exchange going the same way in any culture: woman asks man if he's married, man's friend teases him, man acts like he's going to hit friend, other woman looks on in amusement... everybody smiles and has a good time.
I love how the people in the blue uniforms were engaging with you! You can see that they enjoyed having a conversation with you! The musician+singer is very talented!
The blue uniform people were re enacting Chinese history--- Chinese CP led 1930s? armies wore that color, but 1n 1920s? wire gray, and in 1940s wore green. Why change?
The Chinese red army of workers and peasants. China is prosperous and strong today, and the source is this revolutionary army. The Red Army is under the leadership of the CCP.

You have to visit...It'll blow your mind. Every time I fly back from Guangzhou in to LA I feel like i'm landing in a third world country.
Well, in this case you must stop watching BBC...hahahaha
Western media loves to slander China... Go visit China and see for yourself.
Do the chinese do your braids
I can’t explain how much I enjoyed this vlog 😭

This is so awesome! you didn't just learn the language, you acquired it & made it yours, sounds so natural too. 300 gbosa for you my sister!

You're basically one of them as soon as you can speak their language. They can't stop smiling.
