American Speaks Chinese Befriends Japanese Chinatown: Speaking Fluent Chinese in Tokyo Japan

I often walk around Ikebukuro in Tokyo, Japan listening in on the conversations of Chinese people around me. They have a sense of security in Japan knowing that the locals don't understand their language. Little do they know that there is a rising number of Japanese and American people learning to speak fluent Chinese. Today, I revisited Chinatown and went to eat some delicious Chinese street food. People were quite shocked when a Chinese-speaking American walked in to chat. It's fun to get these big reactions by acting completely normal.
Below are language learning tools I have personally used for years. Direct purchases of software from these links goes to supporting this channel.

Please, no more mask comments on my old videos. There were barely any corona cases in Tokyo at the time of filming this. Only half of Japanese people were wearing masks outside in early March. Only Chinese immigrants were all wearing them all the time so this video gives you a false sense of the environment in Tokyo at that time. The corona situation has changed a lot now and I wear a mask on camera, when I used to take it off on camera before. Please be aware that this was filmed long before things got serious. Context is key. -Anming

Your chinese is so good ...very very standard

[@johannessugito1686]

I am from The Netherlands and was in Japan in 1978 for my apprenticeship. At that time it was already common to wear a mask if you have cold. I had some hay fever, I was sneezing and someone asked me whether I should wear a mask.

My native language is Serbian but i am fluent in English. Also know Italian and German and i know little, Japanese language. But yes, that statement is true not just in communication with people but also for example searching over google, much more data is in English then in Serbian.

[@rumplstiltztinkerstein]

I'm brazilian. My life changed completely ever since I learned fluent english. So much access to new cultures, books and interesting people. Currently studying japanese, and I'm having just as much fun opening this door as I did with english. I can see why polyglots just keep learning. The more someone is different from us, the more we can learn from them. So learning a new language is a great way to find more people.

[@JD-sj8to]

@@gaijinhakase1575 "Conversational" is a BS classification which cant even really be quantified. Its what the KZbin Polyglots use to claim they know a language much better than they do. Theyd likely fail a B1 test in the languages they claim to be "conversational" in, and A2 is still beginner level.

[@OrientalPearl]

I wasn't good at chatting with people until I became an English teacher. It really helped me gain better social skills.

[@justinmendelsohn2855]

@@OrientalPearl Any tips on that then? For me personally, Starting and continuing a conversation is the hard part. I can be social at work with customers, but that's mostly because they're forced to interact with me. But by myself, I'm all clammed up in my own shell.

[@jenniferorendach8429]

Naritori Hello!! I’m a native speaker of American English and I learned to speak Spanish fluently. I always tried to begin conversations with people in public. I would start by positioning myself in a situation that would make sense to speak with them. For example, if they were looking at canned vegetables, I would also look and then ask a question, just like Oriental Pearl did in this video! My next recommendation is that you have a “speech” prepared in the language you want to practice. What I mean by “speech” is a few sentences you can tell about yourself immediately that you memorize and it is what you begin the conversation with after saying hello. For example, “My name is Naritori and I hope you don’t mind if I talk in English with you. I am learning English and I enjoy it. I need to practice more.” That way, people know they should not speak too fast and it will not seem weird if you do not understand them right away. You can try to control the conversation by being the person to ask most of the questions, like Oriental Pearl. Good questions like: What is your name? Where are you from? Do you speak other languages? How old are you? (Be careful about this question! I would t ask someone who is an elder but someone who appears more your age, or maybe don’t ask it at all.) I hope this helps a little bit!

Oriental Pearl it’s not so bad in the UK at the mo only the people who have been to Italy or China or one of the other restricted countries are having to self isolate for two weeks. The government are having COBRA meetings (emergency) meetings almost every day and the spring budget (government spending plan) was released yesterday. They said they would allocate 3 billion GBP (I think it was 3) to helping healthcare and sick pay. The next 2 weeks will be the worse as that’s when they think it will reach its peak here. Thank you for your vids and stay safe and well. Lots of love from Leeds, Yorkshire.

321alison That still sounds really serious though. I have been watching the news about the situation in Europe. It escalated really fast. I hope the UK is in a safer position because like Japan it’s an island and it’s easier to isolate itself.

Please excuse the spelling mistakes in the subtitles. I tried to get this video out fast and stayed up until 4 am. And the software doesn't have spell check. It's grueling awful work to do the subtitles. It takes 3 or 4 hours and it's the worst part of making the video. Any recommendations for simple subtitle software? Also, I hope everyone is learning a little bit about China and Japan in each video. I love these countries very much and purposefully add a little bit of info along with the jokes. I hope you have the chance to come to Tokyo. It’s such an international city. -Anming

I’ve been binge watching your videos for awhile now and i love how you sound when you speak and how easily you can keep a conversation going ❤️. Im learning chinese right now and i’m having a hard time, do you have any tips on how i can learn more effectively?🥺

I'm so glad that you are enjoying the videos! I'm new to KZbin. My advice is listen to audio lessons in Chinese everyday and make a vocabulary list on your computer of all the new words you learn everyday.

Anming, at some point, could you do a video about Chinese & Japanese humor. Would love to know how they approach joking around with one another and their style of comedy. Another great video! I really appreciate all your hard work you put into making these videos. Thanks for sharing. ✌🏼

Yeah, I'll be doing videos with some local Japanese people very soon. I'll be talking with them about doing videos together this weekend.

Good! Then these videos accomplished their main purpose: teaching about China and Japan.
