Hello friends,
I hope you have been doing well! As you all know, I've been going through a little bit of a creative rut so this video is definitely on the experimental side for me. Not only did I want to share more of my culture with you, but it was also extremely refreshing and fun for me to film. Hope you enjoy!
xx,
Julia

Anyone else here multilingual? Would love to know what languages you speak!

[@mk_57]

As an Indian, I speak Telugu, Hindi and English. And as I'm very enthusiastic about Spanish culture, I also speak intermediate Spanish, so that's 4 languages 🙌

[@TaylorandSelenalover]

mandarin, english, and a little bit of spanish :)

[@l.kaiser1662]

French, Italian, German and English

[@knlei1]

just chinese canto its a struggle

[@maniiasdiaries]

my brain is always a jumble. I’m ukrainian but since i was a baby I was educated in English. So Ukr/Eng my mother tongue but know russian, mandarin, spanish and czech (grew up in prague) 😂

[@20SomethingDiariess]

I remember you saying in the last video that someone commented about your content being repetitive and this time you tried changing the genre. You are so hard working and creative. Love you for your aunthenticity. Also, just a reminder, your content is NOT Repetitive ❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘

[@juliafei]

Aww Ritika thank you for this comment it made my day ❤ y’all make all the hard work worth jt

[@NotMariah.mp4]

Your dad driving you guys 1.5hrs away to learn Mandarin and stay connected to your mother tongue is so sweet to me. Im actually tearing up 🥹🫶🏾

[@juliafei]

He’s the best 🥹 you really don’t fully appreciate your parents until you get older huh

[@stvdmc2011]

If don't use it you will lose it

[@danjas.599]

I love how Yuan just jumped in and was all for your challenge, so sweet :)

[@haleyfranker]

This was such a fun video!! I always admired (and envied) the people I grew up with who spoke another language at home. I wasn't introduced to learning a second language until high school and that was such a struggle. I still struggle with learning other languages. I feel like it's so much more beneficial to learn multiple languages from a young age. Side note: I'm also going to be practicing how to say "go eat poop" in Cantonese haha

[@juliafei]

Yes definitely big props to my parents for keeping the house English free 😂 I’m struggling to relearn French these days but I’m hopeful that with time it will get better so hopefully you’re not discouraged to learn a new language ❤

[@rmoorefla]

Smart way to prepare for a trip to China and made for an entertaining vlog. Thanks! I'm a big fan of Chinese dramas and sadly I finished "Nothing But You" today that I will miss. Totally recommend.

[@juliafei]

Trip to China soon 😉👀 also adding that drama to my watch list!

[@chibiaye637]

Your cantonese is so good. HAHAH when you were describing your outfit

[@juliafei]

I did not learn the terms for all of these garments in Chinese class 😵‍💫

[@Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrin]

I looooved this vlog so much. I can definitely see your extroverted side when speaking Chinese, I feel like it is the more raw version of you coming through

[@ghravel]

My family is from Taiwan so it's always so interesting to me hearing Mandarin from mainland China speakers -- you speak with a completely different accent from me and everyone I grew up speaking Mandarin with!

[@ghravel]

Lol I was also so shook the first time I learned how people from China say spoon (like how your boyfriend said in the video) - it's completely different in Taiwan! Same with words like trash can, tomato, mochi...

[@juliafei]

LOLL I guess the store owner was just trying to be nice 🥹🥲 yes super interesting how there can be so many variations for one language!

[@ghravel]

@@juliafei Omg nooo I didn't mean that it was bad 😭I meant it like how a Southern accent is very different from a British one!

[@chloeshih]

hahah omg this is too cute of a video!! imma call you "julia 小姐“ from now on 🥰🥰

[@LinaSaadaldeen]

this was so entertaining!! oddly satisfying to hear you speak chinese! 😅

[@juliafei]

Was nervous posting this video but I’m glad that y’all are enjoying it ❤

[@chengshi3310]

Hey I’m from guangzhou toooooo!!! Nice and nostalgic to hear Cantonese here ❤

[@juliafei]

Ahh I miss Guangzhou so much ❤

[@seraaa6526]

julia is our multilingual queeennnn ✨

[@juliafei]

😚😚😚

[@RonnieCKChan]

Your mandarin and Cantonese is soo good. It’s great you can speak both so fluently. I can only speak Cantonese

[@juliafei]

Knowing more than one language is already super impressive!!

[@warmbreeze43]

I could understand some of what you were saying. I use to do work in China in early 2000 and had a book I carried everywhere. They helped and I helped them. Great vlog

[@juliafei]

Wow that’s awesome!! Chinese is definitely a hard language to pick up

[@watermangopark]

I love watching your videos! Looking forward to watch more of your vblogs! Keep up the good work!

[@TaylorandSelenalover]

you said you speak 3rd grade mandarin but your accent and intonation etc. sound really natural!

[@knlei1]

if u speakk it often yea

[@juliafei]

Omg I think my tones are off some times but thank you!! 😊

[@Joycakebae]

Ah, Julia you speak Cantonese too! Also, it's so cuteeee. omg, imagine we went to the same Mandarin Chinese school in Chinatown when we were little.. LOL

[@juliafei]

Omg! I actually did attend one near Hester Street Playground for a hot second 😮

[@noartnomusic]

I love it, especially when you're speaking Cantonese! I thought you're ABC who can't speak Chinese. There is a sense of closeness and bonding. Hope you'll do more videos in Cantonese😄!

[@juliafei]

More to come in the future ❤

[@imcleod71]

Love Love this video!!! It is great that you are speaking Chinese. It shows how authentic you can be. Keep it up!!!!!!

[@richardottley4611]

🤣🤣🤣 the 2nd of the vlog.. you trying to describe yah outfit in Chinese got me like LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

[@ThomasG-nr9pt]

For someone who grew up in the US, I think that your Chinese is very good. There is definitely a light American accent to your Cantonese, but it is mild compared to most people who didn't grow up in Hong Kong or Guangzhou. The Cantonese accent is notoriously hard to learn for non-natives.

[@mmmuwww]

I have been watching your videos for quite a while and had no idea you speak Mandarin AND Cantonese. This video is so fun and I enjoyed watching it!

[@umgirassol]

Ju, I love it! Mandarin is very interesting and even though I don't understand anything, I thought you speak it very well. That's the best part of meeting someone who was born in another country: getting to know new cultures =)

[@SamTaylor93]

Hey Julia, can you mention all the good restaurants and especially Cafés and fashion / thrift stores you always go to in your next video? I‘ll be visiting NYC end of May from Germany and I am really interested what a „local“ is visiting on a regular basis so I will avoid the very touristy stuff :) thank you so much

[@candidlyvivian]

what a great video Julia - your chinese is so good!! i LOL'd at the "loser + people that are not self aware" part

[@juliafei]

Thank you! it’s definitely still a work in progress 😂 in argumentative situations I have to revert back to English as you can see haha

[@TheMisschrisaz]

I’m so impressed, Julia! I really enjoyed this video 😁

[@juliafei]

Aww thank you for supporting always ❤

[@brendasnow8255]

I’m not bilingual, but if I were, it would be Swedish or Norwegian. I do study common phrases before I travel to countries for whom English is a second language, if spoken. I think that is fun, and I just use a couple of the free apps. It’s so nice that your parents speak Cantonese at home and you also have some knowledge of Mandarin. My college Swedish was a fail; all I can remember is how to say I love you

[@LM-qt6tj]

LOVE the black top with the bow ribbon!

[@wxapril12]

you speak really fluent Chinese and there's nothing strange about your accent！！！

[@THELIFEOFKAT]

I don’t speak any Chinese I am a silent new watcher starter watching you in your moving Vlog and I don’t agree that your content is repetitive I love watching you and I enjoy this Vlog as well so what I’m trying to said is I really enjoy your videos and even this one 😊

[@annadiazvillela1229]

Loved this vlog. Would love to see more. Yes I am!!! In Spanish - specifically the western part of Mexican county.

[@sharimissmanmiller1185]

Where did you go for the noodles?? I'm coming to NYC next week and it looks amazing!!

[@tinaliu5593]

Want more vlogs like this series!!

[@gracesungkim]

This was so FUN to watch! :) so silly!

[@juliafei]

Hehe I’m glad you enjoyed ❤

[@Shu_Shu718]

your Cantonese is on POINT!

[@juliafei]

Stop it you’re boosting my ego 😂😂😂

[@aynp7302]

Very interesting vlog - loved your day out with Yuan, but I was worried someone would come up to you and insist you speak English hehe. Stay safe!

[@juliafei]

You’re too sweet! Thank you ❤

[@michaelperfect]

[@juliafei]

The skit at the end was funny 😆

[@juliafei]

[@TvShowManiac]

[@mr.x817]

[@juliafei]

[@pigglyjiggity2407]

[@Clarawongwong]
