So today we’re going to go undercover and see what Chinese people REALLY think about these tattoo fails, although because it’s winter I have a hoodie instead, it says “laowai” 老外 which means “foreigner”, which is a slangy way Chinese people often refer to non-Asian people. (Not in a negative way!) If you’d like to get one of these shirts or hoodies for yourself you can just head to merch.xiaomanyc.com/

    • @vorpal22
      @vorpal22 Před 2 lety +61

      @@johnny1max113 It doesn't have to make sense to you, but here's the explanation: I was living in Canada, and then moved to Chile, where there are almost no Chinese language speakers, materials, or availability. As I didn't speak Spanish, the priority became learning Spanish instead of continuing on in Mandarin at the time: I had nobody to practice with. I also don't really like Mandarin (largely Taiwanese, as that's what I insisted on studying) entertainment, so I felt little inclination to get that listening component in by watching it.
      Furthermore, my job is very demanding, and requires a lot of study constantly as is. I also have a severe and chronic autoimmune disorder that really leaves me drained and sometimes unable to function for months at a time.
      Combine all those things, and I had higher priorities to fill the time I did have, fewer opportunities to maintain my skills, and a lack of energy due to severe and medication-resistant Crohn's Disease.
      Now I have moved to a community with many east Asians and my disease is currently in remission, so I am picking back up my Mandarin (which is going very well), learning Japanese, and studying Classical Chinese for fun.
      Really, I have no desire to learn Spanish and only got by with the basic minimums for communication, but it was a difficult time.
      You'd be surprised how fast it comes back. I've only been going a few weeks and I'm probably back up to 1500 characters.
      Also, I spend a great deal of time studying things not out of practicality, but because I have interests and enjoy challenging my mind. I also study, for example, many programming languages that I am vanishingly unlikely to use, because the experience of studying something quite different from what you are familiar with is one that broadens the mind and keeps it sharp: the process and not the end result is what is sometimes important.
      At least Japanese will be very useful for me to know since I like a lot of Japanese entertainment, and knowing Chinese characters is a huge help to learning Japanese.

It's so silly to see humans as the same because that's the cause of so many problems. Who decides what normal is if we are all the same? Because most people think they set the standard for normal and ultimately decides others are different when we should or basically are the same. I agree that it's a nice video though. But we should move on from that stuff. We already know what we SHOULD do and act, we already know what is wrong. We just need to focus on the good parts instead of distracting us with bs. Comfortable is not good. You watching a movie with popcorn isn't good while bad stuff happens in your country. People are just distracted, because it's more comfortable. Who told you I'm like you?

I’ve talked to many people from the states because I was so close to the border aswell and there was a military base right there and it’s about the same thing with Spanish classes depending on where you live in the USA.

      The internet has made any language useful because you can connect with more people using their language. No matter where you live.

      True, I’m Mexican American and live on the border and Spanish is essential. Mine is terrible however, it’s a border dialect and is different from Spanish spoken in Central and Southern Mexico and I suck at it. I didn’t learn Spanish until much later in life, my parents never taught me.
