Chinese Speaking White Guys Catch Gossiping Nail Salon Workers Red Handed

Want to learn Chinese or any other language from my own courses? Check out: www.streetsmartlanguages.com/
The other day we white guys who speak perfect Chinese went out to NYC’s Chinatown to the nail salon. They were “gossiping” about us (in a loving way!), not realizing we spoke Mandarin, and then we totally shocked them by switching to Chinese! We ended up having a really deep and interesting conversation with them in Mandarin and the rare Chinese dialect of Fuzhounese.
So to find out what they are REALLY saying about you at Asian nail salons…just watch the video! It was a funny prank / social experiment but also a really meaningful experience. Plus of course it’s interesting if you’re interested in language learning!

I feel embarrassed to be American. There’s nothing happening in this video worth photographing, publishing or watching.

In the future, you must wait until you've paid and are out the door before letting on that you speak the language. I GUARANTEE you, you will have a far juicier video.!!

It's funny that the white guys have fake modesty. They both know that they speak great Chinese and play it off every time with the locals. The women just love them....

[@blumie21]

@@goaley45 That's a cultural thing. It's quite rude to accept compliments in China, so by playing down or denying their skill they're doing the polite thing, not hamming it up.

Lol well she is Asian though, so obviously she would be talking trash about her own daughter XD

[@fionn5325]

It's much easier to speak fluent-sounding than it is to understand, you can prepare entire dialogues in your head if you're the one going to add something to the conversation but you could be caught off-guard if the conversation changes and you haven't prepared any dialogue for the subject

[@briansmith5912]

I love how they didn't get snarky when the lady was talking trash, but won her over with good personality and kindness. Show a great maturity and lack of pettiness. Well done really enjoyed watching.

I’m Brazilian, so I speak Portuguese but I’ve studied English since I was a teenager and I’m able to speak in both languages pretty well. I went to a restaurant with a friend and on the way we decided that we should pretend we were Americans. It was FUN AF because people went OFF on us talking s**t. Calling us many many ugly names because they could bet we didn’t speak Portuguese. I was having the time of my life. At the end of the dinner we said: “Can we have the bill e uma garrafinha de água pra viagem?” The waiter turned RED and said (in Portuguese): “You speak Portuguese? I’m so so sorry! We didn’t meant to offend anyone! I’m so sorry!” I was laughing so much. It was so fun. 😂

@@leht1617 he was raised in Beijing. He even says it though his videos. His practice was being exposed more the very environment around him. It's not really practicing if the language that is spoken the most is the dominate language. Your reply would be more relevant if he was located/raised somewhere else. Like if he was raised where the majority of his family lived he'd probably only speak english like they do but if he went out of his way and learned Chinese, mandarin, fuzehouse, etc. Then that would be practice which would be respected.

[@plorin3015]

dea But then she gets surprised with his Chinese lol

[@Tom-ym2id]

That took a lot of respect and humility for him not to call her out.

[@The.Authority...]

Their shock comes not not from the fact that he speaks their language... but from the realization that they can no longer gossip/bad mouth about him

This guy is awesome. Chinese is very difficult. It's one thing to learn some words and phrases, it's another thing to be able to understand and converse.

[@mattm7798]

I love these videos. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Frank speak Korean and catches them talking about Elaine.

[@Lovely_1One]

Her telling the others he knows Chinese is her way of saying, “alright guys, don’t be talking 💩 because he knows what we’re saying!!” 🤣🤣
