Everybody's talking about how good his Mandarin and Cantonese are but that's obvious. It's his hands and gestures that truly amaze me - he MOVES like a Chinese person, orates and uses rhetorical devices in gestural components like one. That is some serious absorption of culture, something to aspire to.

Right?? Complete native accent is one thing, but being able to move and THINK like a native is a whole other level.
As if the fact that his mandarin is out of this world was not enough, he goes on throwing a phonetics analysis of cantonese at you, stand up comedy style :D :D What a legend.

@@brucebergkamp What are u talking about? There is no disrespect at all, “老外” is just a nickname of “foreigner”. In Mandarin sometimes we would add “老” before people's surname as their nicknames, for example “老王” literally means “old wang”, this type of nickname used to refer to middle-aged men but nowadays is commonly used in males of all ages . Same for “老外”, except here “外” is not a surname but means “foreign”. Actually lots of foreigners who understand Mandarin use “老外” to call themselves as well, it's not a derogatory term at all.
Omg.. his understanding of the Chinese language is insane!!!!! His mandarin is superb!!! This was amazing!

Came across this clip by chance, and I could not stop laughing... I was amazed by his understanding of the nuances of each dialects. His Cantonese is really good; it is funny that he speaks Cantonese with a bit of Mandarin accent, not English accent. Also, not sure if the audiences got it, but Dashan/Mark did a great imitation of Jean Chrétien as well. He probably speaks French really well too. Thank you Mark; wish you the best.
