891. The Bilingual Journalist (with Charles Pellegrin)

[@abdikey6255]

Any one who is going to enhance his or her English speaking skill, here is the place where you can get a plent of English lessons which will help you to learn more pharases and words. I have been here last three years, and I can say my English has improved more than I expected specially the speaking part.

[@Wanggg-3]

thanks for sharing,I have more passion now

[@thisisdriveingtohell]

Just because of listening without any shadowing and other speaking exercises?

[@pyaephyo-h6o]

@thisisdriveingtohell why do we need to do shadowing while we can hear everything exactly in details and the way they speak eng? It can be appropriate for a person who tries to speak like a real native speaker but what if we got our own accents to be able to speak this Language. Not everybody who speaks eng fluently didn't try that shadowing except they didn't know or thought it's not that necessary

[@ResenczukKerr]

Thanks for your advise!

[@MoeSatAung-wr5sc]

How to you listening this videos. Do you watch with Subtitles or no. Tell me

[@2difficult2do]

Thanks you both, it'was my pleasure listening your dialogue. 👍👍👍

[@hinsoncheung7526]

Thanks Luke. I'm form HongKong and I really like your podcast, specially when you chit chat with your guest is more fun than short story. Thanks Charles to share his experience in Beijing, it's easy to make me understand the situation and more fun to learn English.

[@AngelaKang-se1dc]

Hello Luke, I am from Shanghai and the city is really foreigner- friendly, with English signage almost everywhere and most of young people could speak English. About politics, I totally understand that it is hard to talk about China by avoiding this topic from a foreign perspective. Our country is growing massively year on year and its position in the world is going to be more significant than before. Hopefully I could meet you in Shanghai or any places in the world😀

Thanks for your precious podcasts Luke. It' s great to be bilingual, greater is being bilingual in indoeuropean and tonal or ideograms languages. According to neuroscientific studies that broadens neuronal connections because different areas of your brain are involved. A bit of envy for bilinguals who can't remember having studied the languages while I have clearly in my mind the afternoons passed hitting the english and french books

I will definitely suggest Charles visiting more south provinces in China apart from Beijing.As mentioned in this video,it's hard to talk about that withou being political if we only witness the lifestyle of the Capital.Among all the places,I will strongly recommend my hometown Chongqing to you Gus!Welcom to enjoy the kind,friendly and warm citizen here!!!

[@wanderingschenal]

Chinese policies regarding speech and media freedom are shaped by a complex interplay of historical, political, and cultural factors. The Chinese government often emphasizes stability and social harmony as priorities, which can influence its approach to media and journalism. This includes regulating foreign journalists and media outlets to manage how China is portrayed internationally and domestically. From a Chinese perspective, there's a strong emphasis on sovereignty and protecting national interests, which can sometimes lead to caution or restrictions on foreign journalists and media. This approach aims to control narratives that could potentially undermine the government's legitimacy or stability.

[@lackadaisicalseymour8354]

Love your podcast Luke.❤ It’s very thought-provoking to hear what Charles has shared of his experience of being a foreign journalist in Mainland China. I’m from China Mainland and currently working in the UK. Therefore, I came all the way to KZbin comment section after hearing your episode in Apple Podcast, coz I have to drop my comment 😂 I do understand why some of our Chinese ppl holding a bit holistic view about those journalists. We have all seen how bbc had manipulated the perspective of how they falsely and misleadingly presented their story about modern China very few years ago, and some of the opportunistic journalists unscrupulously baiting or making misinterpretation for clicks from the nationalisms. Those villagers, they have no way to identify the real identity and intentions of this foreign man. Hence probably why, they want the government to be involved. Coz’ with the presence of government, they would risk no responsibility of any outcomes of the unethical journalism. Bc government will act like a safe net, in this case, and takeover from whatever beyond control or goes wrong. I understand how frustrating it must be when Charles first encountered this situation. But also, I just wanna make sure both of the stances can be seen and weighed legitimately; The villagers&the journalists, and why the government would be there from the first place.🙂

Hi Luke, thanks for all this podcast, I love your rambling episodes, just in case, if you don't want to talk so much about the Euro Cup because of your team's unfortunate result, you can talk about the Copa América champion and the finalist. I´d have liked a finalissima with England. I send you a hug from Argentina!

Hey Luke. Interesting to hear someone’s experience in China during COVID. I’m from Shanghai, China. Yes authoritarian but not dictatorship would be fair to say. Don’t worry, we people never bought into anything the government says anyway. We love our country and culture but we also have discrimination over global politics.

[@wen6199]

Thanks Luke~ BBC news always try to make China a horrible place to go but actually it is not dangerous . but cannot agree more with the comment "elephant in the room". very precise

[@wen6199]

Also, yes, monitoring foreign journalists and any activities involved with foreigners and foreign funds is very strict. There is a specific department that manages those foreign non-government organizations (such as Oxfam) in China. You need to submit your monthly report and yearly report on time, list the activities you will hold in the next month and whether foreigners will attend, and get approved. Then you can hold the activities. Although other countries may also have similar departments, the process in China is harder because every project and activity needs to be approved. and if your foreign colleagues want to visit the local project, such as the schools and communities, you need more processes and paperwork to get permitted. but don't worry, we figured out our own way and method to communicate with those government people, and try to help more people in rural areas.

You can go to anywhere you think you can get “real freedom”.

[@sunshine-june-5566]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@LukesEnglishPodcastHi Luke, I really hope you can come to visit China. Now we have 144 hours free-visa policy, it would be much more convenient. I’ve listened and watched your podcasts for many years, and I feel you are an open-minded and kind person. You must have your own understanding about China and Chinese people. I just feel so bad for the words like “Chinese people cannot change”, anyone who knows China’s history is impossible to say that.

[@delpierro213]

If I watch this video with English subtitles, I understand about 90% of it, if I only read subtitles without watching the video, I understand 98%, but if I watch it without subtitles, I only understand around 50-60%... Which type of listening do you think I should focus on?

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

Clearly you are better at reading than listening, so I suggest that you continue listening without the subtitles in order to focus on your listening skills.

[@abelpaulbasil1677]

[@tripolies]

​@@LukesEnglishPodcast is it wrong if I read while listening? Because I found it difficult to understand every word you say? In listening what's the important get the idea enough?

[@kamilaryk9477]

I was struggling with the same problem. Try listening to the podcast with subtitles and then a second time without subtitles. I know the episodes are long, but you can only listen to them for 5-10 minutes. This method helped me. Now I listen a lot of english podcasts ( not only LEP) and I rather don't have problems with understanding.

[@pyaephyo-h6o]

luke! without practicing Shadowing in spoken english, we wouldn't be eable to speak english fluently? that's a real question a lot of learners confused about and I'm the one of them. If you saw my comment here please explain from your point of view as a native speaker I will take it as a true forever.

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

Shadowing can help but there are other things you should do as well, including studying the phonemic script and ultimately getting feedback and coaching from a voice coach. But some people seem to be able to do it just by shadowing. A question to ask yourself - do you really need to sound like a native speaker? Just make sure you are clear and there are no misunderstandings when you communicate.

[@pyaephyo-h6o]

@LukesEnglishPodcast now I've got the point luke as you always explained. Thanks luke. You will be my best eng teacher forever. If I have a chance to get to Paris I would probably meet you. That's my dream.

[@sunshine-june-5566]

Very nice topic! But I feel not very good that western journalists only blame Chinese government when the people don’t want to talk with them. Why don’t they check how many western reports uses Chinese people to make fake news? Many people were so open and happy, but their words were cut and selected to make stories with different meanings. Nobody likes being fooled again and again. We don’t like talking politics, but some are always relating China with politics. I sometimes feel so tired about this, people are not living with politics, can western journalists not imagine/create problems with pre-assumption? I lived different countries, and cannot see a big difference in the influence of politics on daily lives between China and the West. I can understand your system, why can’t you?

[@IsraeliIsraeli-xf1pl]

It seems as far as I've seen that almost all your guests have problem with imperialism/ colonialism at least they felt urge to express something about it, and that probably means they are left-orientated isn't it?

Hi, Luke, you are a very good teacher, but even better at pleasing the Chinese. Your tolerance of the concentration camps in Xinjiang is disgusting. Will you allow the Chinese to put you in the camp and take away your children for good? Have some syphathy for God's sake.

[@sunshine-june-5566]

This is why some journalists are not welcomed by Chinese people. The Xinjiang story is made by BBC. If you want to critique, please survey the truth. Luke has never been to China, he doesn’t know what is real, how can he comment on this issue? Have you ever seen any Muslim country blamed China for it? Why Christian countries? The UN cannot find evidence in Xinjiang. People in Xinjiang have good lives. Have your sympathy for those who really need.
