These videos make me want to learn chinese too

My son grew up as a bilingual (Chinese/German). Nevertheless as an infant it was difficult for him to switch quickly between these two languages and it was impossible for him to translate. That changed when he was around 6 years old. A funny experience was a visit to the U.S. when he was five. He tried to speak German to his US/Chinese cousin and she tried to speak English to him. It took me quite a while to convince both children that they need to speak Chinese to each other. Finally they switched to Chinese and I was no longer part of this conversation.

It's not your incredible ability to switch between languages that makes these videos so compelling (as utterly impressive as it is), but your natural and sincere ability to connect with and converse with people on a relatable level. You're unflappable and a talented conversationalist. I am just beyond impressed. In a world where isolation, introversion and misanthropy (mainly here in he West) are increasing in normality, it's refreshing to see someone go out of their way to connect.

I believe it very much depends on people and it´s an individual skill, it´s not just about sheer will. I am an extrovert, it´s inherited and always found it easy to connect with people, also find it very easy to gain trust which is at times a bit unsettling, believe it or not. My best friend tries hard and although we share many of the same traits people just don´t respond that well to him, he often gets the "cold shoulder". To add to the mystery I am never polite, I often just speak my mind and will not lie under any circumstances just to please. Not rude either, I just have found this sweet balance of just being me without a mask. Anyway, happy New Year.

I live in the Uk and I can’t even speak to my family In Korean because my brothers are a bit racist if that’s the right word and at my old school it’d bring my gears when we watched a video on China and people were pulling the eyes and just speaking nonsense no even understanding that it’s the same sort of foreign sounds that they will hear to listen to someone speak English or Spanish or even Korean so I always would just sweat from second hand embarrassment for the people that don’t know that this sort of thing happens in school still and the teachers did nothing even though everyone was silent but the people joking about it, I just wish western secondary schools would invest in teaching us Asian languages because you can’t combat racism with people being ignorant to the importance of language and all my school taught us was Spanish because it was “easiest” and so I would often write some simple Korean sentences in my book such as “안녕 만나서 반가워.” Meaning “Hello it’s nice to meet you” and my teacher would ask how and why I’m learning 2 languages as Korean isn’t on the GCSE list so I just replied with “I want to understand different languages and be able to help people in need that can only speak a certain language and my plan is to learn Korean, Japanese, and, Chinese and move to Korea.” I also asked why the school never did education on this topic as without knowledgeof this then you’ll never know that what you and other people are doing wrong and as a quiet “weird” person because I was learning an Asian language so I spent my time speaking to people in the yard just expressing what I liked and my views on the topics and because I moved to a UTC school this year I asked them to continue what I wanted and to say and tell people why it’s important to learn about Asian language and culture as I’m 13 and this happened when I was twelve, I can currently speak half fluent Korean though I can’t pronounce some characters right because I have some lisp type thing so i can’t speak properly. I just hope one day when my grandchildren are in school I can see a circle of different ethnicities all together and there be no racism in sight, even though currently with how the world pans out right now it could be a fantasy but my hopes are there and they will forever be there.

You're such a kind and upbeat person, you really brighten my day. Keep up the wonderful content

In my beginning years in Germany I worked for a German moving company that did moving and transporting for the US military. I barely spoke German when I first started at the job. However having to communicate between German co-workers and American customers helped tremendously to improve my language capabilities and allow me to become fluid in speaking and understanding German. That along with reading and writting as much as possible in the language one wants to learn will increase ones vocabulary automatically. The brain is truely amazing with the speed at which it can function without mistakes when it has been trained properly. I must say Anming makes me a bit jealous with her Chinese & Japanese abilities though. I guess When she has mastered Korean she will move on to Thai or Vietnamese. 🤔

You’re so brave having left behind your native country and leaving abroad. I also truly wish to learn Japanese and I am working hard on it. I would add a fourth language to my list on top of knowing a bit of Spanish. I truly admire you for being so fluent and easily being able to switch languages.

Seesh, I did grow up with a Japanese (native) father who tried to teach me Japanese, and I was exposed to a lot of Japanese including travelling to Japan every two years. I can't even speak English properly, let alone a lick of Japanese, yet here you are with no exposure as a child rocking so many languages. Very impressive! Just found your channel, maybe I'll try to learn and, I mean, my dad lives in the same town as me now, so I could get plenty of practice / he and his side of the family are just a phone call away... Imagine me going to Japan (by myself or with my wife, without my father) and the sad looks I get when they find out I don't know Japanese yet my last name is Japanese.

My father is military and I was never near them enough to learn (before cell phones and video chats) and then I married a military man and never lived near family (still don't). I feel I missed out on a lot. My mother was embarrassediof her foreign roots as a child (being from Guam with immigrant parents and also poor) so she refused to speak the languages and hid her background. So she was unable to pass any languages to me. I'm sad about it, but watching you and being able to pick up on certain phrases and words you say makes me happy 😊💜

Ahh my mom is Chamorro from Saipan though she doesn’t know any languages from her ancestry(Japanese, Korean, Filipino). She speaks Chamorro and English was more like her second language(she kind of knew it as a kid, she just never used it). It wasn’t til she moved to the states is when she actually had to use her broken English and now she’s lost her accent though she still sometimes forgets to add those S’s. It makes me a little bummed out she never taught me how to speak it. Not to mention my grandma on my dad’s side is half Mexican and knows the language too along with my dad knowing a good portion. The only things I really know are the few words my mom spoke in Chamorro and the bits I picked up watching telenovelas with my great grandma(whom I called nana). Watching telenovelas was funny though since I had no idea what they were saying most of the time yet I couldn’t look away bc of the drama. I was for sure immersed in the cultures and food but unfortunately not the languages though I’m taking Spanish now. Edit: I forgot to mention even though my mom didn’t pass her language she sure passed on her broken english🥲It’s even more embarrassing being a native English speaker with broken English.

I loove this video!!! The way you effortlessly switch from language to language is impressive. I appreciate the links :) along with you telling locals you should be speaking their language when they were surprised. I agree, if you are going to visit or live somewhere, it is respectful to learn the culture and easier to feel one with the environment.

We are on the same page for sure.

Your videos are so peaceful, you have such a great energy!! 🥰

It’s very dedicated and shows intelligence and skill that you can learn as an adult to speak other languages besides your mother tongue. Living in the country most definitely helps. Happy new year

Damn! 452k already😂😂 Just a week ago you reached 250k. Wow congrats Anming!😎 Seems like that 500k is gonna be quicker than we thought.😌

I speak English and Spanish ( I’m American of Dominican descent) and sometimes when I speak With my family I use what we call Spanglish. I still find it so strange that when speaking a mix of English and Spanish we still understand eachother perfectly and the sentences somehow make sense grammaticaly. For example, “Puedes pasar me the thing over there?” I think it’s really cool to be able to switch between languages and I want to be able to add Japanese into the mix one day :3

You’re so pleasant talking to everyone! I love this!

New subscriber from Kenya 🇰🇪. I’m currently learning Japanese. You inspire me ❤️

I love switching languages to talk to my brother in front of others, it's always hilarious to see their reactions (even though Canada has French as its second language)! It's also quite convenient if we want to talk to each other without impeding on others or want to say something. I've been learning ASL as well (and teaching my brother as I go), so that's also useful, especially since I don't have to raise my voice :)

Love it! Thank you for the motivational speech at the end. You are inspirational 💕

Absolutely AMAZING content i was so happy to have it in my recommandation

I also studied Chinese in my undergrad and went to China but I lost most of it, I did understood these basic interaction in Chinese though, I should re-polish my Chinese a bit as well :) Loved the video, as a polyglot myself this was very motivating! xx

Honestly I just love hearing you use the different languages seemingly effortlessly I would say! Great job! 👍

Always amazed and impressed..love your videos

I have always wanted to learn another language. Living in Texas, learning Spanish would make sense. But I have always been drawn to Japanese. I love these videos and they have inspired me to start to look at learning. Im not getting any younger!

love how you’re thriving !! can’t wait to see what you have next :)

this video was such a good vibe and really freakin' inspiring, thank you for that

i'm always smiling watching your videos, thanks for sharing!

I discovered your channel exactly one year ago (New Years Eve 2020) during lockdown 👍😊 I can’t believe I’m watching your latest video exactly one year after. After all we’ve been going through, I felt like my language learning journey was wavering but your videos, like this one, has kept me going 👍😊 Thanks so much Anming and hope you have a great 2022! 👍

I think it's time for you to have your own talk show in Japan. Great content. Be safe and have a great New Year!!

Love your videos! I'm learning Spanish off and on so you have made me want to do it properly. I think if going on holiday to another country its always good manners to learn the basics of the language. They appreciate it 🙏

Your language skills are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing them. While I am not learning either Chinese or Japanese, this motivates me to redouble my efforts in learning French for now.

These multilingual interactions are my favorite types of videos.

oh how I wish I could do this! I've been self-studying japanese for years but schooling gets in the way most of the time. I'm so happy I could understand some of the sentences in your conversations. a bit happy and proud for myself! THANK YOU FOR BEING AN INSPIRATON!

I love seeing you do this beautiful to hear you speak these languages xxx

This is very impressive, as someone who is also bi-lingual (working on my spanish/japanese), the ability to switch flawlessly like you do as someone who is not a natural speaker between japanese and mandarin like that is amazing! Your annunciation, pronunciation, along with grammar is really impressive! Great work and love the video!

For some reason KZread recommended me your channel, thank God that happened, now I’m a little addicted to your content. I wish I could learn more languages besides English and Spanish... thanks for everything you share with us, nothing but smiles every time I open one of your videos. Saludos desde Argentina and Happy New Year!.

I just found your channel from TAKASHii from Japan and I love it! I'm 100% going to binge watch your channel 😂😅

Great inspiring message at the end that we all can benefit from! Many thanks!

i'm neither japanese nor american. But I really like to watch your videos. Stay healthy and happy new year tomorrow

Never stop creating! Look forward to more epic adventures!

You are my inspiration. Thank you very much for the great content!

You are so inspiring!!! Much love x

My family lived in Hawaii in the 70's and as a kid I would watch the Japanese stations. I never was able to speak with other Japanese speaking people but now that I'm listening to your conversations it seems so familiar! Languages are so amazing and I think we take them for granted. Love your channel!

Another fantastic video! It’s always so inspiring seeing you transition between these two languages that to me are so foreign and seem very difficult to master. Also I love your business card! It’s so cute 😃

明けましておめでとうございます🙆waiting you to reach 500k because you really deserve it! You are the reason why I keep studying and learning Chinese and Korean. Anything can be possible no matter what. I used to be really jealous of people who both of their parents could speak different languages but not anymore. All is a matter of time and hard work. 本当にありがとうございます。頑張ります！

SO good and so not mixed up!! Power lah! When I get excited (esp in bars, ha ha!) my friends tell me I speak Fraclish, because it is English, Singlish and a little Mandarin all very fast in the same sentence. 😅 I need to watch you more! Now subscribing. 🤩

Just subscribed! Keep up the amazing, helpful, fun content! I studied French for as long as I could but without being fully immersed in it, it's definitely tricky to keep at it. Especially with nobody to practice with.

This channel is so I inspiring! I am glad the algorithm put you in my suggestions. Greetings from Berlin!
