First off... we know you love date videos, so we have a new date video coming this Thursday for you guys. We're bringing back a special someone. Guess whooo 😊 Second, as I said in the video, if you speak Cantonese (even just a little with your parents), then you have an advantage when it comes to learning Mandarin. I'd love to show you how to take advantage of that! 😁 Check out www.cantomandomedia.com/cantomando!

rest in peace, Moses aka 老鼠 🙏🏼 I watched the same fishing video a few years back and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Not bc a Black American Man can speak Mandarin & Cantonese, but his confidence and eagerness to approach native speakers and practice, communicate, and engage with them. He inspired me and so many others to learn languages outside of our cultures and really use it to connect with others in our community. He really brought a smile to a lot of people’s faces. 祝他一路走好😔

It's interesting to see older people in China being happy to meet a black person who's fluent in Chinese, despite the fact that we are often told their reaction would be the opposite. I was studying Mandarin and got confident with the few phrases I learned then stopped, but it's videos like this that reminds me that I still have a lot to learn lol *opens Duolingo*

[@GuranPurin]

Why are you told it would be the opposite? I have many Chinese friends and I often will say one or two words to them and they get so impressed. In my experience, they are just like these guys, very easy to please if you know how to have a small conversation.

[@NikoleMcDonaldJonesSpooni]

Yeah, I grew up "believing" this lie also...and everyone I've every spoken Chinese with has been an UTTER JOY. like someone else said. don't believe the hype that black folk can't be accepted places....especially if all we're doing is having a conversation with someone from another culture.

He is American...we can do anything! The world should know that by now! For example... Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan!

[@kombuchas4684]

I showed my Chinese parents Laoshu and they were so happy and impressed by his language skills. My parents don't know Cantonese and were extremely impressed when they saw he could speak that too. Chinese immigrants are generally looked down upon in America, so they're generally very hyped to see people who take interest in chinese culture and language. Also that thing about parents going home and telling their kid that they saw a westerner speaking chinese better than them is 100%. After the video they turned to me and told me my chinese sucks compared to him 😭

[@nyxsky2193]

@@kombuchas4684 😂Sometimes parents have no filter. That’s cool to know that they are generally open minded and even happy to meet fluent foreigners. Unfortunately, it’s true that most non-Asian Americans see Asians as “outsiders” even Asian Americans; however that’s slowly starting to change for the better. Slowly.

to learn cantonese when u speak mandarin isnt too hard actually, my dad speaks mandarin but learnt cantonese through his love of movies (he is such an addict that we watch a movie every monday - kinda sweet tradition but not so fun if we have watched practically every movie possible) and now my dad is really fluent :)

[@j2053]

Yes, because there are a lot of words/phrases in Cantonese that can't be translated into Mandarin

[@rayson5417]

@@kexinguo9810 Sure, if you are really devoted yourself to learning Cantonese, you can speak fluently. For most Mandarin speaking people, they either don’t have many friends who can speak Cantonese or they are very shy to speak even with Cantonese speaking people, so they lack of practice. This varies from person to person.

[@share_accidental]

mandarin has 4 tones, cantonese has 6-9 tones. (according to google) i only know mandarin though. it makes sense for a cantonese speaker to have an easier time to learn mandarin. if i’m not wrong, cantonese has a few words that doesn’t have the characters to represent it which makes learning cantonese even more difficult.

[@chloe-uf4yk]

Cantonese and Mandarin grammar is different tho. There are some words in Cantonese that cannot translate to Mandarin and the formality is different. Kinda like how when you write in chinese, it is written formally where as when you speak cantonese it's more casual. However, Mandarin can be directly translated to Cantonese but not the other way around. i know this was unnecessary but yeah.

It's the aggressive and prolific way he tackles practice in real world situations that gives him so much success in my opinion. That and he's straight up obsessed with learning new languages. He could be a master of at least 10 languages if he didn't spend so much time learning new languages he'll barely ever use.
