My spoken Mandarin is very poor & they have a very heavy *Cantonese-Putonghua* tinge when they speak. E.g., nearly all of them round off their "s" sound - no "sh" sound at all (very non-standard).
This is sad sight. Chinese who don’t know their roots and are speaking the colonial masters language. Not only that, but have betrayed their motherland and voluntarily become colonized dog. Shame.
I love this video. It's comforting to know that even Chinese people who had Chinese language school as children struggle with the language. It's a difficult language for a western learner, but it is a fascinating language. Learning Chinese will keep your mind sharp!
It's definitely tough to learn a language with basically no alphabet. I've personally met (and have so much respect for) Westerners who speak Chinese better than I do. Puts me to shame. Just gotta keep learning. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It means a lot. 😊
This is so relatable when I talk with my Asian American friends! We struggled to find the correct vocabulary in our conversations. Yes, as a fellow Cantonese speaker, I can hear your accent and your effort reminds me of my friend who tries her best to speak Chinese. This is too fun! 😂 Keep up the good work.
Since no one has responded to my pinned comment, I can only assume everyone agrees with you and hears a Cantonese accent LOL. It's good to hear that this is relatable and it's not just me! It's so sad...I was trying so hard... 😅 Thanks so much for watching!
It's amazing. You know both Mandarin and Vietnamese. I m total disgrace hahaha. I m mixed of Thai, Laosian, and Chinese but only know tiny bits of Japanese and Korean hahaha
"Know" is a very strong word. Oh wow, that's so cool! You should totally learn Thai and Laotian. I would love to add Japanese and Korean to my roster, but I'm already mixing languages up left and right lol.
@@WondereLand_Official I tried learning Thai when I was freshman in college. My parents and family kept laughing at me whenever I asked questions. So I stopped. I always wanted to teach Japanese to my friends but they be like "too much work for me" face xD
@@ShinXiao Don't let that stop you! As long as they help you after they laugh, you should keep going. Japanese is hard.... actually learning any language is hard 😆
@@WondereLand_Official true true, I can only learn how to read and listen with Japanese and Korean. I would have to learn all three languages because some of my family speaks only thai and some only speak mandarin and some only speak Laotian. I would have to do a lot of catch up hahah. I appreciate the encouragement. I need it to learn the stuff I m into besides languages ;)
This actually gave me hope to learn my native language again which is tagalog, my parents always speak in english to me and ive never grown up in the philippines when i was younger it really is never to late to learn your native language now is it 😔
This is so hilarious:) As a Mandarin speaker, I laughed so hard during the whole video. Everyone tried so hard to practice. Felt like Alice has a total different personality when she speaks Mandarin. Haha
@@WondereLand_Official Haha I will forward the video to my Mandarin speaking friends, and I think everyone will be surprised to see that you guys have the courage to practice and great personalities on the camera!! Way to go:)
THANK YOU! 😭 That means a lot to me. 😘 I'm just a little scared of when my parents finally find this video... don't think they'll think it's that funny 😅😅😅
Do you mind me asking, how are you able to speak sentence patterns relatively fluently/effortlessly? Did you practice these patterns in Chinese school? It seems to me you mainly struggled with recalling vocab words in the moment/mixed them up with Canto lol but aside from that, you were pretty natural with stuff like “ A跟B不一样、…的时候、一下 等等 ” Anyway really entertaining👍
Oh man, your comment made my week! Thank you for recognizing my mediocre Chinese skills and for watching the video! If I want to say something in Mandarin, I think of how to say it in Cantonese first and then translate it in my head from Canto to Mando (thus the long pauses/speaking slow/mixing them up/etc.). I grew up speaking Canto and although the vocabulary is different like you noted, sentence structure is similar so that helps. I think watching dramas in Mando helped too. I grew up on 还珠格格. 🤭🤭🤭
@@WondereLand_Official ohh so you got a solid Cantonese foundation then. Good to know! Everybody kinda agreed you had a foreign口音 haha but how would you rate your Mando tones?
@@jeremye8041 Wow! I didn't even know there was a lesson here! That makes me happy. 😊 But yea, the fear of making mistakes often impedes progress. Idk what I'm doing, but it's better to do something than nothing!
You know, I didn't think I was drunk then...but I've gotten multiple comments about it on this video and now I'm questioning it... maybe I was tipsy 🤔 Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Ok so I’ve consumed more cannabis than I care to share and actually feel a little bit off, but I was watching videos to calm down and all I can hear in this video is everyone eating. That’s all I could focus on. That’s something I’d totally miss if I was sober. Lmfao.
The "…… this standard…… " cracked me up. What a nice way of saying bad. 😂 Hopefully your English/Singaporean accent sounds better than my Canto accent (even though I still can't hear my own accent...)
haha this was so interesting! as a fujianese person, my fuzhounese isn't super good. looks like the fujianese guy also speaks fuzhounese ALSO fujianese isnt really a thing, fuzhounese is part of MINDONG language and some fujianese can speak MINNAN but the two are really different. most of the hokkien speakers in the southern asia bits have fujianese ties. cantonese is also more similar to fujianese, except the grammar in fujianese is a bit different but the vocabulary is more similar than mandarin

3:44 I still don't hear a Canto accent. Comment below if you agree with me!
My spoken Mandarin is very poor & they have a very heavy *Cantonese-Putonghua* tinge when they speak. E.g., nearly all of them round off their "s" sound - no "sh" sound at all (very non-standard).
They say their "s" or "sh" sound like Fuzhouren or Guangdongren would. Sounds so different from a person from Xian or Beifang. Glaring difference.
Dang. Okay, maybe something is wrong with my ears because I still don't hear a Canto accent. 😅
Are they drunk or just loud?
This is sad sight. Chinese who don’t know their roots and are speaking the colonial masters language. Not only that, but have betrayed their motherland and voluntarily become colonized dog. Shame.
This is screaming that side of old school TH-cam where people just did random stuff and it was THE FUNNIEST MOST ENTERTAINING thing on the internet
Thank you so much! Your comment made my day! 😊

I wish I could speak Cantonese as well as you speak Mandarin! This video was too much fun.
Girl, I love your energy lol!! You’re getting a new subscriber simply bc your personality is so fun.
"Crackhead energy" 🤦♀️😅 Thank you so much for watching! ❤
You are now my fav channel
😭😭😭 This comment made me so happy. Thank you for watching! 😘
Your welcome
with your energy level and constant shouting i would suspect you are drunk but i watched another video and see that's your natural energy lol
LOLOLOL. You are correct, sir. 😅 Y'all aren't ready for drunk Alice yet.

Omg...so much to learn... so little time
Great job guys! Your Mandarin is actually pretty good.
We have a lot of room for improvement. 😅 Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Omg Alice you need to be my damn friend already lmaaaaaoooo
YAAAS. You have great taste. 😉
This actually gave me hope to learn my native language again which is tagalog, my parents always speak in english to me and ive never grown up in the philippines when i was younger it really is never to late to learn your native language now is it 😔
You can do it! I'm willing to bet that your tagalog will be better than my mandarin within a few months 😆
This is so hilarious:) As a Mandarin speaker, I laughed so hard during the whole video. Everyone tried so hard to practice. Felt like Alice has a total different personality when she speaks Mandarin. Haha
It was really sad how hard I was trying 😅 Thank you for watching!

HAHAHA YOU ARE TOO FUNNY AHHH 😭😭💘💘💘💘
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
好玩儿！I understood everything you said. I like your confidence =)
You're too kind. 😊 Thank you so much for watching!
7:46 Ling asking the real question 😂
8:33 Only one at the table to have understood that....idk if I should be proud...
You LITERALLY have to know Cantonese AND Mandarin to understand my Mandarin.
I understand....
Hilarious. Alice spoke slow enough I could understand portions of her sentences. Ling Xiaojie speaks well - sounds like a mainland person.
Ling is a mainland person - good ear. Thank you for watching!
Yeah I was surprised how much I understood
When you only remember the beat, but try to sing along anyway: 13:14
I sound great.
Lol I like your energy
Haha, I can be a bit too much sometimes. 😊 Thank you so much for watching!
i did not go chinese school. however, i did lot of chinese stuff. now when i am tired i will randomly start talking in chinese to my friends.

I rate my Mando tones 11/10 because I don't hear a 口音. 😅😂
@@WondereLand_Official Lolllzzz what I learned from your vid: try your best and don't be afraid to make mistakes😂

that drink was good. whatever it was 😂😂

@@WondereLand_Official ☺ maybe. but the video is unique tipsy or not I really liked it. You all seem having a good time. 🌹😃
Haha, thank you so much again for watching. We definitely had a good time. I'm just scared of when our parents find this video! 😅
@@WondereLand_Official 😅just tell 'em you ate too much candy!!😘
I can relate to the guy speaking spanish. When i was in spanish class, i would accidentally speak cantonese.😂
4:52 the moment you give up
I was so done.
Ok so I’ve consumed more cannabis than I care to share and actually feel a little bit off, but I was watching videos to calm down and all I can hear in this video is everyone eating. That’s all I could focus on. That’s something I’d totally miss if I was sober. Lmfao.
You guys made me laugh tho :D
Once you hear it you can’t unhear it hellpppppp
Ah watermelons attack
Omg you sound exactly like my Chinese teacher when you speak formally. Scawy
😲😲😲 Which one of us sounds like your Chinese teacher?!
I’m a singaporean Chinese and my mandarin is like …… this standard…… everybody says I speak mandarin w an English singaporean accent HAHAHAHAHA
The "…… this standard…… " cracked me up. What a nice way of saying bad. 😂 Hopefully your English/Singaporean accent sounds better than my Canto accent (even though I still can't hear my own accent...)
Much much better than Keanu Reeves and John Cena. Congratulations!
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I'm a disgrace. Need to watch more Chinese dramas to improve.
@@WondereLand_Official LOL you did great actually. I thought you could only speak your Chinese name during the school year.
@@charliewang9054 LOLOLOL. I swear, my Cantonese is ok. KTV skills are also A+.
Speak slower...and softer please...and you'd improve. Otherwise, great video! I like the energy amongst all of you.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Fun to watch lol
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Welp, thx for getting me thru a cannabis induced panic attack cheers
😂That's what we're here for? 😅
@@WondereLand_Official not what u would expect from comments lmao but for reals . Have a great day! Wish I had a friend like yaz
Alice,you spoke like a drunk dude, so funny
I was completely sober though 😅
I don’t understand but it sounds funny 🤣😂
Very hard to learn but not impossible
Enjoy listening to the language and fun you guys are having 🌍🌄🌴🌅
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
@@WondereLand_Official you are welcome and thank you for doing such good work
That means a lot to me 😭 Thanks again!

Wow, thanks for sharing the knowledge! I learned something new today. 😁
真的应该多学学中文 平时多用用 上网冲浪也可以用中文键盘和拼音，五笔输入法 学起来更有效率
Very nice ভাল
lol just speak canto hahahaha
I should've. I'm sure they would've figured out what I was saying eventually. Tried so hard for nothing. 😂
Say Puuk Gai ham gaa caan hahahahahahahahah
I'm crying LMAOOO
So are my ancestors probably 😅
why do you have to shout when speaking Chinese?
Honestly, I shout when speaking English too 😅😅😅
I am 12 and I understand chinese more than Alice sorry
Good. Don't be like me. 😭 But I'm working on it! And to be fair, my Cantonese is much better lol. Thank you for watching. 😊
學好中文，找回自己。
The drag to speak second language could make girl super wasted.
I swear i was sober. 🤔
nani
华人不会说中文，英国人不会说英文 【什么年代现在】
😅哈哈，谢谢你看我的视频!
Is that girl drunk? 😂
I didn't think I was drunk, but now I'm starting to question it...😅😅😅
@@WondereLand_Official 是的，你是
@@CaptainGrimes1 有可能。。。不确定。。。😄
@@WondereLand_Official I think you are drunk because you're reciting Li Bai in a drunk way haha just like Li Bai himself 😉
@@CaptainGrimes1 🤣 oh man, next time I'm drunk I'll try writing my own Chinese poetry. It may be my hidden talent.
They might be Chinese and speaking Mandarin, but they have taken on the American mindset of triviality and silliness.
程度高没错啊哈哈哈哈 怎么乱教

😅谢谢你看我们的视频🙏
Tried to watch this, but your yelling is just way too annoying. Calm down.
Thanks for trying!
This is so irritating, especially the lady.
Thanks for watching!
That girl is so annoying. 😖
Thanks for watching! 😊
