He already knew how the song was supposed to sound (notice him and the girl were correcting Eddy on how it was supposed to go) and he has a strong understanding of solfege and Eddy was using that with him (not fair imo since that wasn't Chinese) so he could figure out the finger placement faster.

I bet he plays another stringed instrument. Some of the skills are definitely transferable. I play guitar as my primary instrument, but I took violin lessons for a few weeks when I was at school.

這段真的快笑死🤣🤣🤣

[@souracidduck]

I’ve been re-watching this several times (bc it’s super funny) and I have to say as an applied linguist and Mandarin teacher, Brett’s Mandarin, especially the usage of result compliments (e.g. when he said your bow is ‘crooked’ in Mandarin 歪「掉」）and temporal markers (also when he talked about the crooked bow 歪掉「了」) are on-point, accurate and natural. Most students of mine would probably just settle with ‘your bow is very crooked 你的弓很歪 or your bow has crooked 你的弓歪了, but instead here he used both the result compliment 掉 and the temporal marker 了 to imply the change of the bow’s position, with the connotation that she didn’t do it purposely: 你的弓歪掉了」 Those two are 2 of the hard points for non-native speakers, especially English as L1 speakers, to learn, and I’ve seen near-native students still struggling with them (let alone the combo!). Maybe it came from their childhood back in Taiwan or their family exposure to Mandarin, but I think Brett’s Mandarin command might be better than he’s giving himself credit to. Anyways, good job Twoset for teaching beginners in your L2, you’re doing amazing sweeties! *insert Kardashian gif here*

[@wongshawn6040]

Nah I don't think that they are non-native speakers, as they spent their childhood in Taiwan

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

@@wongshawn6040 I think that what the OP means is that it's not their first language, and I kind of agree with that. Yes, they were born and spent their first years of life in Taiwan (3 for Eddy, 5 for Brett), yes Mandarin is their families' mother tongue. But they themselves grew up and went to school in New Zealand and Australia. Even if they speak Chinese quite well, they're definitely much more fluent in English.

[@danceproject7849]

they’re kinda like meeeeee, excpet i spent 7/8 years in taiwan and went to school in the US instead of NZ/Aus

[@Colopty]

Thanks for the analysis, it adds a lot to the video.

[@souracidduck]

In linguistics first language/ L1 means your main language and not the earliest language you learned as a baby, and L2 means any language that's not your main language. L1, L2 has nothing to doo with the speaker's learning sequence, just their command on the language. So yeah, Miss Coussin Rouge explained what I meant clearer than myself, thank you.

[@nevermind1904]

I can somehow feel what he meant when he said, it's just the techniques. When I learnt the violin, I was a teen and had played the piano before. As soon as I knew how to produce a decent tone out the violin and became comfortable with the mechanics, finding the notes were pretty intuitive. When the teacher told me she might want me to play Ode to Joy because it was christmas, I just started playing. I don't have perfect pitch, but when the notes are close to each other or repeated, it was easy for me to just play on the piano. Same thing for the violin. The way Zach tried to find the correct pitch of the notes was very relatable lmao

I love the fact that speaking Chinese is harder than teaching the violin for Brett. As a Chinese speaker this is such a struggle as well. It’s so hard to not use any. English at all when talking to my family.

Yeah, they didn't even do scissors-paper-rock this time. Brett should know better than to go first in challenges like this.

I think it also helped that Eddy did a demonstration first and that Zach is somewhat familiar with the piece.

Maybe it's because they don't use chinese often in their daily life

[@pissypissbaby5415]

@@real_dddf obviously they don’t really use Chinese intensively in their daily lives, and language needs practice to perfect too...I’d say they sound like non-natives as they’ve been in that environment since they were young

[@punmaster1059]

I think it’s more to do with the fact that they are teaching English speaking students and they are trying to “dumb down” their vocabulary so it’s “easier” to understand. It’s like speaking to a 2 year old, you aren’t gonna use your normal language, but a simpler and more basic set of words.

Plot twist: Zach is actually part of the viola gang. 😁 Lol, kidding aside I think Eddy showing him how to play it properly first (bow holding and hand position as well) was a big help especially since he is I think classically trained as a singer (maybe idk) so he was right in saying that he just learned the mechanics of the instrument. Maybe he is a visual learner too so he got it by watching, and Eddy associated the strings with the notes and shows him the fingers to play using his forearm as the neck so that's a plus. Other team was good as well, given the language barrier. She (sorry I can't remember the spelling of her name and typing this comment on mobile so I can't look) was also asking the right questions like how to hold the bow and whatnot.
