In the future, you must wait until you've paid and are out the door before letting on that you speak the language. I GUARANTEE you, you will have a far juicier video.!!

It's much easier to speak fluent-sounding than it is to understand, you can prepare entire dialogues in your head if you're the one going to add something to the conversation but you could be caught off-guard if the conversation changes and you haven't prepared any dialogue for the subject

I love how they didn't get snarky when the lady was talking trash, but won her over with good personality and kindness. Show a great maturity and lack of pettiness. Well done really enjoyed watching.

As someone who’s Chinese, he’s super fluent in the language like holy- Probably better than me in all honesty. The thing is, it’s not even the large fact he knows the whole Chinese dictionary (most likely), but he knows how to bring out the accent as well as the language which makes him sound even more fluent.

I’m Brazilian, so I speak Portuguese but I’ve studied English since I was a teenager and I’m able to speak in both languages pretty well. I went to a restaurant with a friend and on the way we decided that we should pretend we were Americans. It was FUN AF because people went OFF on us talking s**t. Calling us many many ugly names because they could bet we didn’t speak Portuguese. I was having the time of my life. At the end of the dinner we said: “Can we have the bill e uma garrafinha de água pra viagem?” The waiter turned RED and said (in Portuguese): “You speak Portuguese? I’m so so sorry! We didn’t meant to offend anyone! I’m so sorry!” I was laughing so much. It was so fun. 😂

Hey dude, 44 year old guy here from England. I wanna say your vids touch me right in the feels. I love the reactions you get. In this vid especially when she asked why you learn Chinese I wanted you to say because of the connection n excitement you receive. I genuinely think it's beautiful and I for one really appreciate it. I wish I could connect with people like you do. Makes me realise how excited and interested people are when we can genuinely connect. Respect x

So basically she’s just knocking her daughter about not learning Chinese

I love these videos! My Spanish speaking, half-Mexican brother-in-law, who some mistakenly assume is a just an English-only speaking "gringo", used to run a business in an area with many Hispanic customers, and there were a few times that rude customers would gossip in Spanish, assuming he didn't understand, and he would "play dumb" until they approached the counter and were respectfully greeted in Spanish! You never know! Just because a person looks a certain way doesn't mean they don't understand what you're saying!

I love how people who work at any type of salon are so sociable and can talk about their personal life so easily

I'm shocked but I actually choked up at the end; I'm so happy you gave her an opportunity to talk about what their hard-working lives are like. I like it when you're able to get past the (very fun!) novelty of them discovering the language and progressing to a real conversation of substance. In this world (and this country), where so many people are so xenophobic and flat-out racist, these videos are doing a great service to everybody.

As I’m Asian, the tone she used when talking about her daughter is where she is super mad and disappointed at her daughter for some random white guys to speak better Chinese. It’s the exact thing I’m told...

Like if he was raised where the majority of his family lived he'd probably only speak english like they do but if he went out of his way and learned Chinese, mandarin, fuzehouse, etc. Then that would be practice which would be respected.

I remember a story of when he was a foreman at a construction sight, and how the guys "under" him would constantly talk sh*t in Spanish, because of course they assumed he didn't understand. He let that go on for months...them just sh*t talking him right in front of him! Then one day one of them asked him something, and he responded in Spanish. He said the looks on their faces was hilarious. Like..."oh sh*t!! What have I said about him, in FRONT of him, in the past?? 😥😥😥" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So he careful, because you never know. Lol

I decided a long time ago, if I ever had one wish (don't believe in magic/miracles just pretend), I would want to be able to understand, read, speak, write, translate any language I wanted with a phrase to activate it xD Meet a lot of people and could easily make a living as a traveling translator or staying home if I wanted. Translating old forgotten languages and new. I'd enjoy it.

TBH even if the translation is inaccurate I didn't think he was trying to make her look rude. It was clear she was referencing the weirdness of recording getting his nails done. I thought she was really sweet and I love how happy people in his videos are at hearing their languages being used by a foreigner so far from home :) They always light up!

@Gloomyraindrop

So why wouldn't he have told them that they were recording for a video, that's usually what KZreadrs do lol or make it obvious it's for a KZread vid. Isn't it illegal to film someone and show their identity without their permission? That's why people get their faces blurred in reality TV shows or some KZread shows so they don't get sued. Idk, I'm confused with this video. But that's not to say this isn't far from Asian people do gossip about their customers in their own language (which is really rude by the way, to talk about them thinking they won't understand. And right in front of them too.)
