Chinese people think I'm chinese when they hear i speak chinese

[@debireitknecht6302]

He Mike, how long did it take you to learn the language? and can a 58yr old learn it too? I have always been fascinated by the Chinese Culture and hope one day to visit. And because of you, I'm now a new Subscriber.

[@meipei2423]

A 58 year old can learn Chinese just as well as a 20 year old can, it's all about effort and your will to actually learn and commit it to memory. You got this!

[@debireitknecht6302]

@@meipei2423 Thank you I'll be starting my lessons soon.

[@furiousredeem1207]

@@debireitknecht6302 One thing I would say is honestly dont worry about characters or writing and reading immediately, unless you really want to. Too many schools or universities teach that way and I think its more effective to learn speaking and understanding first. Just like how most kids do. It will probably also make the reading and writing of chinese characters easier. Also a huge thing is input and output, expose yourself to a lot of chinese via songs, videos, movies, etc. Maybe start with subtitles and switch them off. When youve learned a basic amount try to find things you can still understand some chunk of, but still have plenty that you dont understand so you can grow.

@kirathomsen-cheek9834 do you have any kids? Just curious.

Thanks for the compliment Kira. All babies are special in their own way but one thing for sure all babies are very pretty. We all came a such. Perhaps it’s Gods intention to make babies look since they have less potential as adults( walk, talk, etc)

Mike moved to China a few years ago unable to speak a word of Chinese with no fluency in English as French should be his primary language, A shy guy with lack of confidence found his way out to become very fluent in speaking Chinese and English portray good communication skills with a high level of confidence You have come a long way, and your steps are to be followed. Much respect to you your videos are eye epening and a good example start from.

Some of my favorite parts of your videos, is how the camera picks up the people behind you, after walking past you, the stares & looks you get SO OFTEN ... is great. must be that solid gold necklace 🤣

[@sammyslam1]

Watching from San Francisco, California USA!! Love your videos! They are so inspirational and i think many in the west should subscribe to your channel. People need to see the reality of the people! Forget about our government bias, political bias, and national bias.....look at the people and how the people interact with foreigners that speak their language and have respect for their cultures and traditions. If we can humanize the people, like you do in your videos, we can bring down the hatred and bias that comes from geo-political propaganda. Wishing you, your wife, and baby the very best in 2025 and beyond! Peace and Blessings brother!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wow, I just watched four of your videos.... I've fallen into a rabbit hole! Impressive! Enlightening! I believe your good work may help break down barriers. I've been pondering what to say that won't be criticized and trolled by haters. I say this from a white guy from Southern California who went to a high school of 3,400 students between 1969-74 that had only one Black, one Latino, a few Jews, and few others. In the U.S. we are so divided now. Many of those on one side only have experience in their quaint, little world, they have no concept that there is a whole other world outside of their miserable existence. In my 40+ year work career, I have come across so many bright, well educated engineers and doctors who have matriculated from India, China, Viet Nam, Pakistan, Iran, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, among others. Our miserable breed here in the U.S. blame others for their condition when they have only to blame themselves. Keep up the good work. I have subscribed and I look forward to your future productions. Stay humble. Cheers, Mark

[@sammyslam1]

I don't think it's just him they are staring at. It might be the fact that he is with a wife and baby and there is a lot of curiosity about a mixed child. Also it's clear he is filming so people have a curiosity about that as well. I did notice in this footage that he was the only black person so you could be right about it being more about him but i think it was a combination. I don't think even in modern China that there are lots of mixed families.

[@user-tu5un8jc9v]

It's also because he's filming... 🤦‍♂️ There are other african immigrants in China you know... Any big city will have immigration from all around the world.
