White Guy Orders Takeout in Perfect Chinese, THIS happened…

Want to learn Chinese or any other language from my own courses? Check out: www.streetsmartlanguages.com/
The other day I went into a bunch of typical American Chinese takeout restaurants as an ordinary but kinda clueless white guy and ordered food in fluent Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, and Fuzhounese). Most American Chinese takeout restaurants like this are run by people from China’s Fujian province, so it was fun for them to hear me speak their native but fairly rare language of Fuzhounese!
It was a really fun prank and social experiment to see Chinese people’s reactions - both the waiters and the other patrons in these NYC Chinatown restaurants were totally shocked! Thanks everyone for supporting me on my language learning journey!!!

It's because they know it takes a lot of effort to learn a completely different language in a high enough capacity to be confident speaking it. I know some Italian from my Italian classes in High School. My most common phrase is "Mi Italiano é cosi-cosi" = "MY Italian is so-so." I'd love to relearn Italian, because I genuinely had fun with the language.

FiendishGhoul It would be more surprising since a lot of Asian people (especially older Asians) are surprised by black people in general (from what I’ve seen).

[@greghaines2770]

I lived in a foreign country for 15 years and this happened all the time except with people I hung around a lot who were used to hearing me speak their language. I think their mind is so fixated on their amazement that you speak their language that they aren't paying full attention to what you're saying.

If this happened in a normal restaurant in America some Karen would gotten up and told him to speak American.

I live in Germany but i know croatian, once my grandma from croatia visited me and a women literally came up to me and said" ill call the police because you dont speak german, its against my human rights if i cant understand you" I told her to stfu and then she left

@@tuddli How the fudge is it against her human rights if she can’t understand-what? People can speak whatever language they want wherever they are, it’s apart of their culture and who they are. Why does that women even care tho? Like just leave them alone if you can’t understand them

[@samuelcox5016]

They probably get verbal abuse when they don't understand or misheard what an English/American person is trying to order. I think it's worth trying to learn another language or at least know common sentences for when going on holiday, people appreciate others that try.

[@harmonybade324]

I used to work in a REALLY small town where a lot of tourists passed through to get to Vegas, and I had a very sweet Korean family come in to my restaurant. They were having a hard time ordering in English and they were incredibly happy when I took their order in Korean. They left me a Korean won and the Korean equivalent of a dime. It was SO cool.

That's because your brains learns a language by mimicing it and having interaction with native speakers, not by drilling in grammar lessons. You can do those later, when you actually speak the language.
