totally understand Benson's struggle. my family speaks teochew, mandarin, cantonese and viet interchangeably and I am not able to speak any of them fluently.
wow! i can definitely relate - sometimes it can feel even frustrating but it's amazing to hear that there are other people who speak teochew in the household :)
Same here!! Especially with teochew! It's such a small dialect especially where I live. I literally have not been able to speak it outside of my family.
As someone who is also unable to speak their mother tongue, I relate to Taylor and Benson so hard! Glad to see that Wong Fu is supporting him and trying to help!
Hearing that Benson’s family speaks TewChew makes me so happy. #GaGiNang but also grew up with the same struggle going to Mandarin school for 6 years but speaking Vietnamese, TewChew, and Cantonese was confusing as hell
So happy to see so many Teochew people in these comments - I was just as surprised to hear Benson is Teochew! My family speaks Teochew mainly, mixing in some Cantonese and Khmer vocabulary. My parents know Cantonese, Mandarin, Teochew, Vietnamese, English, and Khmer between them. #gaginang
I’ve been learning mandarin for almost 3 months and it’s not a simple task. My best advice is to just be consistent. Even if you only learned a sentence a day, that’s still progress. I recommend HelloChinese for beginners, and then slowly transition to anki when you’re near intermediate level.
Love this episode of lunch break! Please do more of these with the rest! Just wanna say good try Taylor and Benson! Keep it up! I learned 7 and half years of Mandarin and I can't speak as well as Chris haha so don't feel bad that you don't know! 😂😂 it's never too late to learn a little haha 😉😊
As a Mandarin speaker, Im thrilled to see this video. Love it! Everyone was CUTE!! Chris does have more advanced vocabulary. Has Wongfu ever considered recruited some Mando/Cando speakers at work? Haha
@@bensonq ga gi nang!! That so cool Benson, I speak Teo chew too but I'm slowly losing it too :( There so little Teo chew people over here on the east coast (specifically Massachusetts) :(
My grandparents (from Europe) did not pass on the language or anything about the mother country (except the food!) because in those days everyone wanted to just speak English and be American. I wish I was bi-lingual. It would have been useful.
I have been learning Japanese for about a year and I can only begin to understand the struggle, considering the extra difficulty of tones that Japanese doesn't really have. Also, "The spark is there. We'll see if it turns into a flame, a fire flame. From my butt." is now easy a top ten Taylor quote for me lol
Man, they’re so advanced with their accents on the English spelling lol. I grew up in a family that spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin so I can speak both dialects pretty fluently but I can’t read squat. Maybe just the character for person... if you do know what that looks like you understand how basic it is 😂
I would like to see them learn and recite the alphabet! I was forced to write it and recite it over and over and over again until it was memorized. but i'm glad i learned it.
Chris, you should say BaoChien instead of DaoChien if you want to say sorry. Saying Daochien to someone is demanding that person to apologize to you lol.
3:43 did Benson say his parents speak Chiu Chow?? I am also 1/2 Chiu Chow on my mom’s side but her ChiuChow has always been bad (according to my grandma)
when chris (pbb mistakenly,) said daoqian instead of baoqian i rly had to pause and think bc he said it w so much confidence i second guessed myself :”)
clouds8D daoqian is also correct.道歉 is more like the noun “apology”. Or saying a 3rd party is apologizing. But I think I usually see 抱歉 (baoqian) as “*I* apologize”. Another informal apologetic phrase (maybe to a more informal degree than baoqian) is 不好意思 (buhaoyisi), which directly translates to “not my intentions”. I think that equivocates to “my bad”. - Fellow ABC (who is just picking up Chinese grammar as I go) Please correct me if I’m wrong!
Hey, next time get jenn to teach viet!! And if you have anyone / friends who know other languages, bring them on!! Could do Justin min, jun, or kihong for korean, & then the sudarso bros for Indonesian!!!! :D and maybe aj for tagalog? Hehe
I had a classmate with a German Father and French mother, but he still can only speak english lol Same with my husband, his father is bilingual and his speaks for languages. But he still only speaks english.

and none of them speak english fluently... the struggle lol
finally someone who understands!!!
It’s the actual biggest struggle and especially when they switch between all languages in one conversation

@3:08 “so your grandkids are gonna be like me - hope ya like it.” 🤷🏻♂️😂😂
If my grandkids end up like Taylor, i'll be happy
Now Jenn needs to teach everyone else in the office some Vietnamese 😁(I’d be happy to assist LOL)
you mean just me LOL
Jennifer Le LOL u right

♥️
TEOCHEW?!?! YAS. I feel represented now. Benson is so cool!
Ayyee
YOO my best friend speaks teochew!!!
the skills of benson's family are life goals
As an adopted Asian American I love and appreciate the little bit of soorta representation Taylor gives us.
When Jessica says their Mandarin is not that good. The shot to Chris of him thinking "uhh I'm actually pretty good"
Selina Yang lol
As a mexican viewer i felt so happy when they started speaking spanish

i can just imagine taylor going up to a cantonese person and repeatedly saying diu and it getting awkward as diu
When they were saying diu over and over had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣 diu is a bad word in canto
Technically yes, but tone is different. Problem is if you mess up the tone it sounds like a swear. 🤭🤭
But its mandarin xD
屌
丢

Chiuchow represent!!!
5:56 Wow, look at this native speaker.
As a Mandarin speaker, Im thrilled to see this video. Love it! Everyone was CUTE!! Chris does have more advanced vocabulary.
Has Wongfu ever considered recruited some Mando/Cando speakers at work? Haha
Jessica's voice is so calm 😅❤
Benson speaks teo chew? Represent!!!!!!
lol i wish! then i'd know when the auties are throwing shade
ga gi nang lol hahaha my mom speaks it too
@@bensonq ga gi nang!! That so cool Benson, I speak Teo chew too but I'm slowly losing it too :( There so little Teo chew people over here on the east coast (specifically Massachusetts) :(
AS someone who speak both Cantonese and Mandarin, this is hilarious to me
5:09 i see taylor doing what everyone in my mando class does with their heads.
me inspiring to be quinti-lingual "one day I'll add Chinese to my cv"
*watchesthis*
Edit : "On a second thought... "
Oooo :) Chris' mandarin is really good 🙆🏻♀️😁
i took mandarin last year in school... i was as confused as tyler. so i understand the struggle.
the way Jessica holds the chopsticks is so cute
"我是really handsome", next minute, "I am butt"🤣🤣
canto next pls
Omg the Aesthetic of the table with the white cups \*0*/
Taylor going "Hope you like it!" should be a gif
My grandparents (from Europe) did not pass on the language or anything about the mother country (except the food!) because in those days everyone wanted to just speak English and be American. I wish I was bi-lingual. It would have been useful.
Benson is TC???

Also, "The spark is there. We'll see if it turns into a flame, a fire flame. From my butt." is now easy a top ten Taylor quote for me lol
i feel you benson, i feel u completely cuz same with my family.... all those languages, adding in khmer lol
Man, they’re so advanced with their accents on the English spelling lol. I grew up in a family that spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin so I can speak both dialects pretty fluently but I can’t read squat. Maybe just the character for person... if you do know what that looks like you understand how basic it is 😂
hey hey, give yourself some credit! you can probably also read 1, 2, and 3 in Chinese :D
Chris' Mandarin is actually very decent!
Taylor's skin looks so good. Wonder what he's been using
11:22 shouldn't it be 抱歉 instead of 道歉？
Hmm i wouldn't know
@@bensonq haha 道歉（dao qian)means "say sorry, express apology," while 抱歉（bao qian）means “my apologies"
I would like to see them learn and recite the alphabet! I was forced to write it and recite it over and over and over again until it was memorized. but i'm glad i learned it.
10:19 Taylor just casually swear in Cantonese
Frank Yung not that diu. It totally different. Is 丢. Like how you are 丢脸
They should start a segment where they teach chinese to wong fu members
Chris, you should say BaoChien instead of DaoChien if you want to say sorry. Saying Daochien to someone is demanding that person to apologize to you lol.
what about 不好意思 buhaoyisi, I feel like this is the best option. it's the most colloquial
@@chloesalisbury537 I feel like 不好意思 is used in lighter situations, somewhere between sorry and excuse me.
3:43 did Benson say his parents speak Chiu Chow?? I am also 1/2 Chiu Chow on my mom’s side but her ChiuChow has always been bad (according to my grandma)
OMG 5:55 ni hao... taylor's voice... so deep!!!!!

MintChocChip100 mm yea 道歉 also means apology, but in the context that chris was using it, it should’ve been 抱歉.
Ni in Ni Hao is third tone, not second! @5:47
You guys should play " Guess the Word " game and dare the loser to speak in Mandarin/Cantonese, the rest of the day !
Chris' mandarin sounds so pinyin. Also we say 不好意思 for sorry instead of 對不起。
Taylor with the Troy and Abed reference!
Love this video!! would love if jenn teach Vietnamese on lunch break on one of the video! #makeithappenplz
I’m also Teochew benson, I understand your struggle
Canto next!
Chris sounds like a Chinese study recording. Haha.
Is benson viet or chinese or both
Approx 90% Chinese 10% Viet and 100% reason to remember the name
bensonq LOL
wong fu was in Vienna ? :-) my hometown
Teochew, canto and mando
But where’s the love for Hakka 客家
10:34 cursing in Canto? 哈哈哈
Hey, next time get jenn to teach viet!! And if you have anyone / friends who know other languages, bring them on!! Could do Justin min, jun, or kihong for korean, & then the sudarso bros for Indonesian!!!! :D and maybe aj for tagalog? Hehe
i need cantomando to guest in anotherone of these!
LUNCH BREAK!!!!!
Ah, wish I had this video before my trip to Taiwan :P
I had a classmate with a German Father and French mother, but he still can only speak english lol
Same with my husband, his father is bilingual and his speaks for languages. But he still only speaks english.
LOL taylor struggling oh no haha
Mandarin is haaaarrrrrrd. when I was younger I used to get 不客氣 and 不用謝 (you're welcome) mixed up and say 不用氣 (don't get mad)
I've heard 不謝 before as well. But definitely not used here in Taiwan haha. Least not that I've heard yet
Im from malaysia and i just heard them curse so many times in cantonese.. hahahahahha..
Oh u r Teochew!
fire butt chicken!! 😂
Oh poor Taylor.
now we need them learning Viet
Woah never been so early before
hope to see u teach Spanish Vietnamese or Teochew next time
Collab with cantomando plz
same, well assimilated parents are to blame for lack of bilingualness
OH DAYUM 1 MIN IN 😎
woooo I'm also allergic to dairy and nuts
Teochew rep!
Part 2 pls (Y)
diu means the f word in canto😂
Watching this jokes but lowkey painful
Video about manderian but starts off with Spanish. LolXD
I tried to learn Mandarin and then I gave up
Trying to learn Viet will be an adventure to see 🔥
I felt pretty bad for Taylor
Appreciate the effort but you guys need to bring in guests who know how to teach properly. You guys were mixing Cantonese and Mandarin pronunciations.
Must be hard to retain your mother tongue in America.
why aren't the uighur muslims being spoke about????!!
