Cantonese Speaking White Australian - PART 3

[@orpan]

Love the way she giggles :P Cuteness!

[@philia85]

Her english is so cute.

[@ppcaze]

I got pushed around by the aussie so much. I feel alot more comfortable after watching this. Thank you.

[@tonyc7763]

Great to see that a local (foreigner) so to speak , speaks perfect cantonese, better than me, Corinna has a great personality and outlook on life, she is funny and I am glad to see that. I left HK in 66, went back in 74/80 , havent been back since, seeing how Corinna progressed, I do miss HK, soon I will revisit again, see my old schools and treading grounds, most have gone now due to the developments. My home and country is the US but HK still have a place in me.Still have family and friends there when we were growing up.,good memories.

[@ChYuarles]

I like her golden hair when she was a pupil girl. It shines so beautifully.It really a hopeful ray from the sun as like as her name means.

[@minghan05]

@extrekkie13 She deliberately spoke in that accent because she was asked in what kind of accent does the HK people speak English. In reality, she speaks English in her own native accent.

[@mcrazza]

Wow! Thanks for translating that part. :)

[@siuabc]

Home school in HK... mom teaching Chinese and English... very interesting. And being a 1.5 generation living in HK.... a Caucasian living in an Asian society.... like many Asians living in US... She is very multi-cultures and want to pick/be the best of both world... :)

[@wchngliu81]

OMFG after watching this, i am speechless. its very rare to see whites or indeed non-chinese people speak cantonese, and yet here she does it extremely well. she's fantastic. plus she's so fluent and the pronounciations are spot-on. if she had been speaking on the phone, then i wouldn't have thought that she would be white. awesome, thanks for posting this

[@unlistedysh]

Thanks for sharing.

[@stanleykho2]

great clip

[@nerdnerd]

OMG she's so cute!

[@bemyguests]

im very impressed by her!!! some of the stuff she says about being a bicultural is so true!!!

[@kireidasha]

she was just mimicking the hong kong english accent, she actually speaks english fluently as well

[@lobelia2]

i agree totally.

[@lobelia2]

"i wanna study abroad" hahaha. cute coming from a foreigner.

[@trent8002003]

She's now a popular Canto-pop star in Hong Kong!

[@TheAquarpio]

I was so surprise when i watched part I, but if she came to Hong Kong when she was young and actually that means she grew up in hong kong like other local people.But to be honest she speaks very well

[@elevengiant]

oh, man, the accent part

[@afriend9428]

*Definitely a Hong Kong Girl!* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

[@Multisportamateur]

I know a lot of non-Chinese people who were born and raised in Hong Kong all their lives and their Cantonese AND Mandarin is quite bad. I think Hong Kong is very unique and a person who does not speak a tad of Cantonese can survive in this city quite comfortably.

[@nerdnerd]

she was just imitating how the hong kong people speak english :)

[@Sukyhoi]

so that make her a HBA (Hong-Kong born Australian) then! She's drop dead gorgeous btw!! :) def. make the next Nicole Kidman someday haha

[@sixers333333]

holy shit first tie i hear a while person talk chiness without a accent

[@lobelia2]

she was emulating a hk accent when she spoke in english.

[@mcrazza]

For the non-Cantonese speakers here, could someone post what Corinna is saying in English, please? Thanks. :) I was expecting at some point in the video for Corinna to speak in English, but to my surprise her accent is Chinese, not Australian! lol I was expecting an Aussie accent until I saw that she was in fact educated in Chinese and raised in HK and that, lo and behold, her parents spoke Cantonese as well! White Australians speaking fluent Cantonese! I'm genuinely surprised! This is cool. :)

[@ailo8964]

問路的阿婆很有趣

[@photoxinthesis]

shes got a cute brother

[@CasperUnitedStates]

That's the last time I speak Cantonese to a white person. They might actually understand me. :-) LOL!!!

[@loveliferocks]

@extrekkie13 lol thats what i thought at first..but based on other interviews i've seen, i don't think she speaks English with a HK accent. The interviewer asked her how HK people speak English. So she answered with a HK accent. but in reality, she speaks with an Americanish/Australianish accent lol.

[@TittlePending]

get in line buddy. I already signed up.

[@minghan05]

@chihlitiger But most Chinese Americans can't even speak, write or understand basic Chinese whereas she speaks both Cantonese with a local accent and English in her own native australian accent.

[@tekkenmasterbrendan]

hehe NZ same as me!

[@Kakinou123]

I went to Hong Kong, and EVERYONE spoke english aswell as cantonese. There are alot of white people in hong kong!

[@lostn65]

I would like to hear her speak english. Her dad's chinese is just as good as hers, but her mum's chinese is quite accented. Her dad is not native HK. He spent 30 years there, but he's obviously over 30. Which means he picked it up as an adult and perfected the accent.

[@minghan05]

@ThisIsDream This is a good thing. That shows Chinese are magnanimous people (well most are), especially as a foreigner, if you can show you speak their language and/or can appreciate their culture as opposed to people in the West, despite all their cheap talk about equal human rights

[@jungyew]

she said she wants a guy with both asian and western characteristics. where do i sign up? =]

[@getsmartpaul]

Interesting the focus of these videos is on the one sibling Corina Chamberlain but not much about her brother .... did he move back to Austrailia ? I imagine he can speak fluent Cantonese too ?

[@mcrazza]

@kireidasha That clears up A LOT! Thanks for replying. :)

[@halinrocks]

I wonder if her parents ever yelled at her for not speaking English enough! I know parents of ABCs always complain their kids don't speak Cantonese enough.

[@chrischoy9]

Its like an exchange. When i was 6 I moved from Hong Kong to New Zealand coz China took over after British colony. It's a shame, China too all credit themselves for British civilisation. Now i am proud kiwi/Hong konger.

[@ShenGe]

She grew up in Hong Kong. I don't think it's that amazing.

[@Crazykidzz]

her mum have country side chinese accent lol like my grandmum XD if you dun see their face you will never know they are White

[@glorych1168]

banana,haha

[@blackhawk868]

Who are they and how come they live in HK, to be honest, isn't AU a better place to most westerners? Did Corinna grow up in HK as well?

[@wchngliu81]

oh ok then. if she wasn't born in hong kong and she spoke fluent cantonese, then that would've been amazing

[@sqekcx]

how can she be homeschooled? they don't allow homeschooling in hk.

[@JDM_eastcoast]

sad thing she lost her australian accent. I think her parents still speak fluent english

[@ThisIsDream]

Bruce Lee could speak,write and read perfectly in English, and he graduated in University of Washington. He was regarded as a genius, but found himself had no chance in the west, and that's why he went back to hong kong. Compare to this white girl, ROFL LMFAO. The world is unfair.

[@OnizukaGTO]

don't be ridiculous. I'm a HK chinese, but i can't speak a lick, (but i can understand normal speak.like this vid) But i lived all my life in the UK. I don't see why i have to fee lashamed for not being able to speak it. Im not going to live in HK, my home is the UK and for i know or i care i will live and die here. No point learning a lingo if im not gonna use it.

[@lobelia2]

HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[@wuyiting]

Her English accent is kinda different than other native New Zealand speakers, maybe it's just me

[@wintersongs1]

I must be the only one who thinks it's no big deal that a non-Chinese person can speak Cantonese. Since she was born and raised in Hong Kong, of course she would speak Cantonese fluently. Sure, there are English-only schools there, but what else would she speak, if not Cantonese? Language is learned, not inherent. I bet there are plenty of Chinese people around the world who speak French, German, Japanese, English, Spanish, Indian, etc. fluently too.

[@tombmw2800]

Shit... I'm Vietnamese and I can speak French fluently, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Thai, and Cambodian. How about that!!!

[@jojandy]

:p what did you say ^^

[@JHua286]

@bethoughless .

[@lilmissjayjay]

omg she has like...not australian accent when she speaks canto...if I didn't look at her, I'd think she's chinese

[@OnizukaGTO]

no i don't blame you, and your entitled to have your opinion on that .However ever you can't blame me and others for thinking that your level of intelligence is below average for judging someone just because they cannot or choose not to learn another language.

[@minghan05]

@theGLBT Well, I don;t think it's just the westerners. If I see a chinese-looking face, I'd probably think she/he can understand Chinese too unless she/he shows complete inadequacy in it. But frankly, most chinese, especially those who can speak both Chinese (be it cantonese, mandarin or other dialects) and English well, will show some derision to that fella.

[@paulkaikwonglee]

ThisisDream, I don't agree with you. Bruce was a pioneer for Asian to find its place in Hollywood. Today we've Chow Yun Fat, Jacky Chan, Jet Li, Gong Li, Cheung Ge Yi, Lucy Liu...... Can you give you the same number of accomplished Caucasian actors in Asian ? Don't forget Gregory Rivers (河国荣）who was with TVB in HK for 20 yrs & never given any significant role. Frustrated he now has chosen not to renew his contract with TVB. That is injustice.

[@holkn]

i think shes cute...id like to know her haha

[@soniclyk]

这造型挺好看的，可是拍MV把头发拉直了还染回黄色，整个脸盘又大又方的缺点就出来鸟 -_-iii 话说，咋满屏都是英文嗫？一边看一边翻译太费劲儿了

[@gracelaw1985]

Her dad's Cantonese is even better than her. I mean she's like 95% fluency but her dad is totally native speaker for sure.

[@cc902021]

I agree with Tim Lee that Corinna's Cantonese is more natural and native sounding; her dad's has a hint of foreign accent.

[@TheAquarpio]

I was so surprise when i watched part I, but if she came to Hong Kong when she was young and actually that means she grew up in hong kong like other local people.But to be honest she speaks very well
