I spoke Chinese at Vietnam's border with China and this happened 🇻🇳🇨🇳

[@TypeSly]

I speak both Mandarin and Vietnamese. Your Mandarin is very good, but your Vietnamese is out of this world! I can't believe how you get all of the tones right, and you compose sentences and know more words than I do... and I was born there 🤭

[@Archmage1809]

As a Native Vietnamese, I can confirm Chris's Vietnamese is near-Native (closer to the native on the spectrum). To show an Asian criticizes everything, there are some critics: 1. His word of choice is still not very natural, this is probably an English-native thing because Vietnamese usually use really specific words that usually got cut out on translation. 2. His pronunciation and grammar are still a little bit off sometimes for being a native. His stressing sometimes applies the stressing from English. Probably from the IPA but still. 9.8/10 for Chris's Vietnamese (10/10 is native).

That was NEAT! You were really intrigued by the proprietor who spoke many languages and had a fusion restuarant. I liked it a lot. And Max knew what "glass noodles" were which was cool. I always thought they were made by diakon? A vegetable, and those are rubbery and stretchy. They really have no flavor except for the sauce that is put on them in cooking. My dad has a hang over story about those noodles and about rum and coca-cola, but this isn't my channel. Back to the restaurant. It's a fusion restaurant. I like how you get to chose your ingredients and it's it's cooked in a hot pot with noodles. I could hear the ingredients being cooked when you pulled up front. I like this place. They were very interested after a while when you were friendly and asked questions and "ribbed" them a little. Good advertisement for them. A little hard to find, but a nice place. ❤❤❤🌸🌹👍

There is something wrong with you if you'd be super happy to pull a 'prank' and humiliated some little man by shocking him with your superiority. You shouldn't take it. Sometimes I'm surprised when someone speaks my language. But by 'surprised' I don't become a flabbergasted caveman "HUH WHAT HIS MAGIC GODLIKE POWER HERDERRR!?" and if the person took my surprise by hovering over me and sneering "phht...look at this fool in awe of me hehehh" then I'd be very disappointed.

It's not really a talent. It just takes hours and hours of time. If you think this is amazing, drop into most any part of the USA and you can find millions of people who speak English, speak Spanish and (example) a Philipino dialect. This would be normal. you'd find it everywhere. You'd find many (most?) people in his very videos speak at least 2 different languages fluently. But to the point, its not a special talent so much as it's just being willing to spend endless hours practicing. Then again, we could say having the patience, nothing else better to do and maybe some driving need for the ease and security it will bring is a kind of study talent I suppose.

21:55 those clear chewy noodles are actually known as either 冬粉(dong1 fen3) or 粉絲 (fen3 si1) in Chinese, and are made from mung bean or sweet potato starch! The 米線 (mi3 xian4) you are thinking of is a different noodle entirely (though shaped the same) that is white in color and made from nonsticky rice, hence the name. Former type is usually more of a north/costal style noodle & sold dried at supermarkets, while the latter is south/central China thing and sold fresh. So you and max were both half right (you on mixian and max on "glass noodles") just mixed the two together hahaha! 😆 (Also just a heads up, the Chinese I typed is in traditional characters since that is what I normally use and it's a hassle to change settings, so will probably look different to what you are used to😅)
