thank you so much for the upload! i've heard her sing in about 5 languages, but have never heard her speak english. she's truly talented, thank for sharing this with us!
Wow, I didn't know the interviewer was Frances Yip until I read the comments! My two favourite Chinese singers :) I used to hate my mom's music when I was little but I'm very glad to have adopted some of her taste because these two have made wonderful music. Teresa has such a demure attitude, it's admirable.
Interesting contrast between Francis Yip and Teresa Teng. TT looks so relaxed and quietly confident. They are bot beautiful but TT wearing less makeup is glowing. And I also don't know why all the media types are all oppressed when she getting married.
It's impressive how she could manage to speak so many languages fairly well. Despite her native hokkien and mandarin, she could also speak cantonese, japanese and english very well.
Teresa was not only talented with her singing but also language skills. She went to Japan for training and learned Japanese so you can see her in a lot of Japanese interviews. As for English, she was in California studying at the local university in her "dark days" during her fiasco with the fake Indonesian passport in the late 70s. Actually, it was here that she met Jackie Chan during the time when he was making his early American film appearances. When she went to HK in the mid 70s, she couldn't speak a word of Cantonese but later become pretty fluent after several years. Talking about her, I do miss her. May she rest in peace!
Thank you so very much for this. Every English word is precious for me who so loves and respects Ms. Deng yet understands no Chinese. Thank you, from Milton
I am from Ecuador and i dont know why or how i heard this songs in my teens, (i am now 36)on my 20's i found out it was her...omg i fell in love with her...it hurt to feel love for her...seriously and i actually cried when I saw videos of fews covering her death... crazy how her songs touched me and I dont even understand wht she sings, all i know is that my heart hurt, and i become emotional (no i am not EMO or GAY) I only heard her songs, and watched many of her songs on TH-cam I did not know she was dead, until I started to search more about her... I knew she was old but didnt know how old, in my mid 20's i thought maybe she was 40, I saw her videos but had no idea she was long gone in 1995 when I was 14, in 2011 i visited Taiwan and visited her resting place, and felt so sad that tears dropped, still dont know why :'(
@@poiuwnwang7109 i am natives to south America and my ancestors walked from norther asia, but recent asian roots no, i really dont know when or how i heard her songs. once i got to know her name i just saved all her youtube video :D
Her English was so excellent. She spoke a few languages: English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese, and Japanese (unsure about this). I think being a Chinese has so many advantages. We tend to master a few languages such as English, Mandarin, Cantonese and our home dialect (in my case, I speak English, Mandarin (a bit), Cantonese (a bit), Malay (I've lost the fluency but I understand the swear words!), Hokkien (I've lost the fluency but understand the swear words!) and a bit of Spanish.
Speak for yourself, barely anyone here in Guilin can put two English words together. Considering English is taught in schools here it's pretty pitiful really. This place is supposed to be a tourist trap too.
Just to let you know that the interviewer is an established singer known over Asia, she is Ms Frances Yip. She was once signed up by EMI London in 1974!
A pity that Ms. Teresa Teng never got married as you can see here in this vintage interview that she’s “dreaming about it” and “wants to settle down”. May she forever rest in peace. We miss you, even after almost 30 years.
@renata1934 English is one of the official languages in Hong Kong and there are english language newspapers radio and televison. Some foreigners that have lived there for years report that they have had no difficulty functioning there with out knowing any Cantonese
I think Ms. Teresa Teng just recently had her secret engagement with Mr. Kuok at the time of the interview because she then was wearing the necklace that was given to her by her father as her engagement gift. This necklace is on display at the Teresa Teng Memorial Hall in Kaohsiung Taiwan.
@renata1934 People in Hong Kong speak either Cantonese or English (their official languages) not so much Chinese. People in Taiwan speak mainly Chinese and Hokkien as well as several other dialects, some of them could converse in English, but they are usually not very good at it. Teresa Teng seems to be more at home with English than Cantonese, or maybe this channel is supposed to be meant for English viewers.
wildreams For people who are confused by above comment, Cantonese is a Chinese dialect. people in mainland China and in Taiwan speak Mandarin Chinese as the main dialect. Cantonese dialect is spoken in Hong Kong and Canton region of China ( Quandong)
When exactly was this recorded? Source? It seems to be in the late 1970's before she moved to Hong Kong. Thank you very much for sharing!

She said that she was thinking about gettin' marry and all that stuff at that times..., but the truth is that.. she unfortunately never got married.... = / ....; God Took Her Away Too Early..., and I'd Say Before Time; She Went Away Pretty Damn Early... :'( :'( :'( :'(
OMG, the interviewer ( Francis Yip?) looks like Pauline Hanson of Australia who never likes Asian people. In an interview, when asked " Are you xenophobic?", Pauline did not understand and said " Please explain?"
just amazing how she can converse n sing in so many languages n dialects .... a diva no singer can match !!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, it is precious to see her and listen to her in such an insterview.
Teresa is just talented as well as graceful!
She can speak English, Chinese, and Japanese fluently. Now that is what call super talented.
And, she plays the piano well too.
@@mparthur144 Woww thanks for the info.

You forgot Malaysian and French.
@axelf2607 Malaysian is not a language and she can only sing in Malay, not speak.
How was she so good at English, too??!?!? It blows my mind. Perfect voice, perfect face, perfect smile, perfect heart. Wow...

crazy how her songs touched me and I dont even understand wht she sings,
all i know is that my heart hurt, and i become emotional (no i am not

@@tamzinyim hehe 4yrs later one reply, thnx i still listen to her songs from time to time
@@tamzinyim U are surely touched by her sweet voice with passion that who else can forget. Yes, a guy from HK also misses her too.
Do you have asian background, Physical or cultural? If not, then it's amazing that you could get to hear her songs.

She's the best chinese singer
You're right she spoke good French as well. And she crooned Thai songs beautifully.
Her voice is so sweet 😍

@@tompayne4481 Well I think he must be a Chinese from Malaysia, so it's not wrong, Chinese in Malaysia can speak at least 3 language
she was most definitely fluent in Japanese. I think she spoke French as well.
Teresa Teng also spoke Hokkien, Malaysian, French, and a little Thai. She was simply amazing. 💜💜💜
@tanzijian8906 Many Chinese don't speak more than 2. Your making a gross generalizations.
Wow she is so talented i just found out she can speak many language and her japanese is very good.
Hi rexcasper. Thank you for this upload. It is indeed rare to listen to Teresa Teng interviewed in English.
Just to let you know that the interviewer is an established singer known over Asia, she is Ms Frances Yip. She was once signed up by EMI London in 1974!
Oh my Stars ....
Seeing 2 iconic and legendary singers together is too much to bear 🐻 ....
But then it made my day ....
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Glad you enjoyed it!

What a beauty!

鄧丽君連說話声音温柔体贴 真是迷人 所以稱万人迷 😎
A young lady's blush! A baby's first breath!
What a treasure Theresa is.
Teresa we all miss you so much RIP sing with the angels 😢😢

I didn't know Frances Yip spoke English with a posh British accent!!

if I were a man, I'd stay with my lady. No regrets whatsoever happens in the future as long as I would be with my love. Money isn't love.
Thank you. Good to know it, but also sad to know it.
@Rvpilot2 I'm glad you enjoyed it!
adorable and angelic
@renata1934
I believe the interview was conducted by Pearl TV Hongkong, a station intended for English speaking audience.
明珠台TVB Pearl葉丽儀訪问鄧麗君。
Lovely lady !
How true. Hee hee. In fact, while people in China are stiff with English, not so much with Hong Kong.
The interviewer is Francis Yip -- the person who sings the famous Shang Hai Tan song.
Teresa teng is the quest interview by frances yip
my two most favorite singers Teresa Teng and Francis Yip.Did they ever sing together?

♥️♥️♥️
That british accent of an interviewer
Beautiful English accent by Teresa Teng. Much better than the Hong Kong singer Ms Ip who had a heavy Hong Kong accent.
When exactly was this recorded? Source?
It seems to be in the late 1970's before she moved to Hong Kong.

So many years lie ahead, we are led to believe.
Can someone please tell me the name of the song playing in the background?
SVo62497 絲絲小雨
From Wiki, she's also fluent in French ?! Whaaa-... i need a vid ASAP!!!!
Duuuuhhhh cantiknya theresia teng..
She is also good at English.
Her English is native.
Can anyone tell me the reason why did they both speak English to each other? Because they could speak both Mandarin and Cantonese too.
Isn't English a second language in Hong Kong? Love this interview. Wish it was longer. Love Goddess Teresa Teng. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I've always suspected that when she retired she would have settled in Japan.
Why amazing people die young that’s sad
her E is sweet,too.
did they ever sing together?
Wow I did not know she spoke English?
孤陋寡闻
whos the interviewer?
I'm sure you notice that the interviewer speaks with a "British" accent.
都是中国人
ofc she's chinese
she didnt speak japanese very well.... at least i dont think. You dont have to speak a language to sing in it.
doesn't seem like she's having any trouble here. And that Japanese lady is speaking a mile a minute.
th-cam.com/video/YtEaMjW_Mb8/w-d-xo.html
She is very fluent in Japanese.
The interviewer was rude , no manner , no etiquette , and spoke poor English......
I wonder how she got the job , with the radio station .....
Poor English? Her English is excellent, and she's not a interviewer, she's a famous Hong Kong singer!
The interviewer also spoke perfect English.
