Okay, like Asians born in da states speak fluent english, listen to hip/hop, eat burgers etc. What if a white girl was born and raised in Hong Kong?

this shit is crazy. She speak fluent cantonese, knows the slang, eats autehntic chinese food, sings in cantonese, she even laughs like a Hong Kong girl. Its amazing cause she speaks better cantonese than some chinese people.

Wow

Very bubbly girl. She looks like Meg Ryan.
Not trying to be picky but she DOES have some accent, especially when she is serious at times during her conversation. Funny when she ordered the "coconut bubble tea". It sounded like she wanted a "shit" bubble tea. LMAO. Cantonese will know what I am trying to say. Then again, my son's Cantonese is not half as good as she is so who am I to complain?
I had a friend back in my public school days who's Australian/Chinese mix but he looks like a white guy with blonde hair, blue eyes. However, he couldn't really comunicate well in English with his mom. He's a "pure" Chinese other than his looks. He will read AND draw Chinese comics.
Thanks for the clip. I really enjoy it. Brings back a lot of memories about this friend of mine.

It's all good, Babymilo. That's why you are still a baby.
Interesting to you now, kiddo.
Wait til you get married, make the same postings on Terb and have someone else make the same comment to you.
Be true to yourself.......if you are still single in any way shape or form, you wouldn't be hitting the Terb scene. You will be out there picking up chicks left and right!
 
There are white people who are native to Japan and speak Japanese just like everyone else there. Race is not the deciding factor in speaking a language but exposure.
 
I think I'm biased because I can speak Mandarin but I've always found the Cantonese dialect a bit hard to listen to. Do other Mandarin speakers feel that way? I'm guessing Cantonese speakers probably feel the same way about Mandarin.

The thing is that by far the majority of children in HK who have expat or native English speaking parents go to English/Canadian/Australian/International schools and not the schools studying the local curriculum so the kids don't have much chance to pick up Cantonese... That's why this girl is out of the ordinary.
 
Excellent. Very good, good for her.

I don’t know the difference at between C or M so can’t comment on that. I would love to learn M though. Just don’t have the time or energy right now… my life is so busy.

I try to teach my landlord English on an almost daily basis. Sometimes it’s like pulling teeth. I imagine he feels the same about me also when he tries to teach me M. <LOL> So far we are not doing bad though. At least he can take orders at the grill and bar the family owns. All he has managed to teach me though are a few phrases like Thank You, How are you today? Happy New Year, etc.

I would love to speak M like that girl can speak C though. That would be fantastic.


Oh... I'm 1/2 Metis, part French and have a little Irish in me as well. I have an average size dick and I'm single. <LMFAO>
 
Glad no one took offense to my thoughts on the sound of Cantonese. Cute in a Kilt.... I'm the opposite I can't understand a bit of Cantonese.

I think this is similar to the jokes about how the german language sounds. No matter what is said it sounds angry and harsh.

In fairness..... my mandarin must sound awful with a "western accent."
