I am from Germany but speak Cantonese. Canton people flip out when they hear me speaking because the language is so comparatively rare. They are so deeply grateful for foreigners taking an interest in their language, history, and culture. I lived in Hong Kong for two years and fell in love with the language. It is not for everyone but it is very unique. My favorite is to make jokes in the language and invent new phrases that make sense in English and are "TECHNICALLY" correct in Cantonese but no one would ever say these, so for me they are pretty funny to use in conversation.

No problem. There will be more to come!

Enjoy watching some of your videos today. Very good accent (both in Japanese and Chinese). Glad to see you visited my hometown. Great motivation for language learners. I am a Burmese language enthusiast currently living in Ireland and speaking Burmese, English and Chinese. That made me miss my hometown.

My childhood language learning story is rather funny. My grandpa and grandma were originally from Fujian province. So, they spoke Fujian dialect at home. And they watched movies in Mandarin. (When I was young, I was even confused that these two are of the same language 😁). And I spoke Burmese with my friends and learnt English at school. Finally, this experience has pushed my English to an advanced level and my Mandarin Chinese to an intermediate level (with some bit of Fujian phrases for an extra) 😁.

That was funny. You are a celebrity ! They loved u......so cool

You are a really Pearl. I love your Channel! ❤️

I was laughing so hard at how they all started taking pictures with you. 🤣😂 Was it the blonde hair? The fluent Chinese? Whatever it was, it made for a great video. 🤣😂

One of your best Videos and the one that got me to follow your channel
