- What are people saying about you in foreign languages? I walked around the streets of China and Japan catching people talking about me when they didn't think I understood their language. See how I learned to speak Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean.

My New Years Resolution for 2024 is to learn Cantonese and I’m doing it through the same method I always use. Learn the same way as me with the best program to learn languages here: offers.pimsleur.com/free-trial-oriental-pearl
Happy New Year, dear Pearl. :) Your videos are just too sweet. :) Always watching your videos with a big smile on my face. :)
Look andsoundsl ike everyone was impressed by your language ability =)👍
Wasn't there another product you used early on for language? I tried something you recommended but it wasn't Pimsleur I don't believe...
Is Vietnamese on your list soon?
YOUR CANTONESE IS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD ITS JUST THE PRONUNCIATIONS THAT YOU NEED TO FIX IM CANTONESE AND I UNDERSTAND YOU 😁

I love that quote! It's so endearing, the guy at 4:45 literally put his hand to his chest and smiled ☺
And if you show them money you talk everybody’s language
@@jaymurray6051 then it goes to everyone head , heart, soul and pocket ...
👍🥰
@@rezmierais2904 and their bank manager and the bank managers mom 😀oh an then the bank managers mom’s window cleaners pocket to pay for lesson in Cantonese 🤟
The kid who was too shy to talk and their friend so excited, trying to encourage them to talk, that was too cute lol
We need friends just like her.
@@JonaasK I’m surprised you have zero reading comprehension. Do you not know how to read?
yes ppl go out its just nice to see that interaction documented :)@@JonaasK
First thing to do when learning a different language is to take of the muffling masks 😷
@@JonaasK you sound autistic lol
What I find the most challenging about learning a different language isn’t speaking it, it’s understanding when it’s spoken to me by a native. If you don’t have a lot of practice-(that is, opportunities to listen to it spoken by a native)you end up needing a lot of processing time. And that makes a casual conversation with someone in the street difficult. I’m impressed at how well you’re able to engage in conversation in so many different languages.
Once you can understand natives you know you have a strong grasp on the language.
@@OrientalPearl my thinking is... the next level is humor (which needs culture) and puns.
So true. This is an area that can truly only be improved by having regular interactions with various native speakers. I was born and raised overseas, but spoke exclusively Chinese at home and read a lot of Chinese novels, on top of being regularly exposed to poetry and Chinese culture/history by virtue of my dad being a humanities nerd. So in terms of communication and general ability I'm native level, but the scope of my interactions is very limited(My parents). Whenever I return to China I have trouble understanding locals when they speak fast, or if there's even a little bit of disruptive background noise. I've noticed that with English, I can sort of anticipate what people are trying to say by picking up on a lot of peripheral information like body language and intonation, so I don't have to actually hear all the words to understand. But because I interact with general Chinese speakers so little, I find it really difficult to anticipate what they are trying to say, so if I miss a word or detail I can easily miss the meaning of the whole sentence.
So yeah. Even a de facto native speaker can have trouble in a casual conversation with someone on the street. The dialects don't help either.
Watching shows in their original language and with subtitles helps a lot.
Do u follow xiamanyc he's great at Cantonese and even fushoneez and what's the celebration here???@@OrientalPearl
Thank you very much young lady for representing Americans & America in a positive light!
Unfortunately, so many Americans in the US do not represent the country well. They love guns, drugs, and money
I came to the comment section to write just this. Thank you.
How about English speaking people.😢🇨🇦😳🙏💁
Yeah, they really need it these days.
What’s an American? I’m American. But I’m brown, and look Asian. I don’t speak an Asian language. Is that American to you? Or does American mean ‘white person’?
The little Japanese children encouraging each other to speak English was adorable.
8:24 This young friend is so supportive! Imagine having someone like this by your side all the time, believing in you, encouraging you, with a big smile and keeping it fun.
Extrovert supporting introvert always touches me. I am grateful to my extrovert friends.
Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God
Made me cry that was so cute
@@ytc257 Which god?
A huge polytheistic kudos to you,@@confustled
I'm Asian and no one is amazed I speak perfect English in America.
😂
😂
😂
😂
Because many Americans can’t appreciate people from other cultures that have worked hard to master the language.
I'm actually hafu but I look very American to the average Japanese. I love to travel to the remote, rural parts of Japan stopping in at small villages and out the way places. The local's initial puzzlement at seeing a gaijin in such places gives away to a bit of apprehension as I approach them, but once I speak to them in native Japanese, their faces light up with surprise and delight. In Kyushu, I dropped in a few phrases of the local Kagoshima dialect and everyone roared with laughter! A gaijin speaking Kagoshima-ben! Imagine that! Even these short but sweet interactions are so very enriching and make the world a happier place for all. I love that your videos do the same. Keep it up!
So good to make the world a happier place
Can’t wait til I’m at this level of understanding and speaking languages, it must be so fun chatting with others
You can get there faster than you think!
Muffling behind the masks....😷 🎭 absolutely RIDICULOUS 😂😂😂
@@mariamoments478 what…?
@@moaswrld trying to speak wearing a mask is just ridiculous and sounds terrible 🙄
@mariamoments478 You anti-maskers are the ridiculous one.
You assert the dominance in speaking Chinese, Korean and Japanese as a foreigner . 😂❤
Some pronunciation of Japanese and Korean languages are from Chinese language.
Assert the dominance? What the fuck...
they mean she takes the lead, don't be creepy@@sailenthotcarathot8540
@@sailenthotcarathot8540it’s a meme
Wow, Cantonese? As a native Cantonese speaker, I almost never find anyone who knows about, let alone speaks Cantonese! Your Mandarin pronunciation is amazing, I am so impressed! My family's way of speaking Cantonese sounds a little bit different, but I can't believe someone, especially someone not born speaking it, knows how.
I just enrolled in a Cantonese school.
What's the big deal. It's not difficult. The issue is people.
I can't imagine anyone not being aware of Cantonese. I've known since I was a teenager [over 50 years ago LOL] that Mandarin and Cantonese were the two most prevalent Chinese languages.
@@frankhooper7871 same, I grew up on TVB and Cantonese films, (and later Wah Lai Toi), My guess is that he is born post '97, but even then Hong Kong TV series and movies are still a dominant cultural export.
Almost all the china towns are cantonese. Lol
I am so impressed by the kindness and courteousness of the Chinese, Japanese, and other nationalities in this video. USA is Blessed to have this young woman representing us. Thank you!
2:45 my favorite part! The girls thanking you in unison is so wholesome to me. I’m glad you spread kindness everywhere ❤️
Goes to show how incredibly impactful it is to learn the local language =) It connects you!
Well said. Please subscribe and watch all my videos. You’ll love them.
Ofc no one is going to walk up to you if they dont know your language, its better to blend in and try to fit in in these circumstances
This is all just ridiculously beautiful in every possible way.
I've always found it so when hearing someone speak many different languages.
It's also strange that this is the first time I've noticed the different tones between these dialects.
Some of them are very fluid and almost have a curve to end of words and some are quite harsh in a sense.
Just beautiful to my ears.
How many times can the matrix be broken? And whoever is in charge of fixing it needs a raise.
these titles may be annoying to us subscribers, but they seem to work. 3M+ views on the last video. Money talks!
I think this will get old pretty fast though. Hopefully she will find a better niché to showcase her language skills. Seems to be struggling a bit with the current one.
True but this is the last one I am watching, over promotion of a one trick pony…
why are you mad, she does not make these videos personally for you, this is her job
@sottosotto4056 mad? Or bored or repeated titles. If you create things for others' entertainment, then the audience has a right to give feedback. Without feedback, how will she know what people like or dislike?
Yeah but it helps her get views.
Real YT are struggling, meanwhile fake YT up just for money and fame thrive.
It's hard to be known when you stay real....
What's YOUR solution?
Because I can't think of any besides cheating.
It's amazing to be able to speak both Chinese and Japanese! Two totally different languages, but many of us tend to see them as the same, Asian Culture is fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
Nobody with more than two brain cells sees them as the same
Maybe for someone who hears asian languages for the first time or not often it's only natural that they may sound similar. Doubt that happens often in the day and age when anime is so popular tho.
European culture is also fascinating. If anyone actually bothered to look into it past what Hollywood serves them lmao..
Chinese & japanese are not totally different languages. Japanese is like a distant Chinese dialect with 60% similar shared vocabuary with similar accented dialect like sounding words. the other 30% is native japanese words, 10% foreign imported words. Its easier for Chinese is learn & pick up both Korea Japanese& vietnamese. Vice versa.
I wouldnt say they sound the same theres alot of sh- zh- sounds in the Chinese dilect in which sounds like ch- in Spanish. I am bilingual in Spanish so I can pick on the sh- zh- consonant quite a bit because it sounds so alike to ch- (I forgot their x sounds like s as well)
Not that you need to know or understand ch- ofc just I feel makes it easier
I've been following you for a long time. I am so glad you got to go back to China. Also that you have reached 1M subscribers. Thanks for bringing your gift of languages to the rest of us and encouraging us to use our foreign language to speak to others to practice
I was really impressed with how you learned to speak so fluently in such a short time. It looked like a lot of fun to walk around and surprise people with your great language skills, I have the same passion. Thank you for sharing this great look into learning a new language by being conversational right away, nicely done!
That’s good on you Alisa, really respect your politeness and etiquettecy. I’m originally from HK and I think your Cantonese speaks very well. I meant all your languages are on point my friend. 🙌🏼💥🎊 I love all your videos and keep it up
HK?
Hong Kong
P90@@Purple835
I love Hong Kong! I’m learning Cantonese now and really enjoy the classes.
Even before it gets posted I know I’ll like your video. You have a wonderful way of bringing out the best in people … it starts with seeing a beautiful story inside people around you and inviting them to let it shine
Agreed 👍💯
Oriental pearl hasn't disappointed yet.
Her japanese and Chinese blows my mind everytime I hear her makes me want to get to studying bit more. 😮😮
Well said.
I like that you had a short version of your video at the beginning and then the full length. Well structured.
I so admire your language skills and am so envious! So wonderful to be able to converse with all those differing cultures. Lovely!
As a Chinese American I get ridiculed if I even make the slightest mistake in my Chinese pronunciation. I rarely get warm reactions when I speak Chinese overseas. Heck, in Yokohama's Chinatown my service actually decreases if I use Chinese compared to English or Japanese.
People are so weird and rude. You're doing the best you can
It's called white privilege
I know how you feel. When I was in grad school in Chinese my classmates were strict with me.
The kids interaction was so cute!! I bet you inspired them to get more acquainted with English
LISTEN. this is too good. i was captivated and thank you for the video
We love your videos! You speaking to the kiddos was our favorite part. We visited Japan for the first time last year and loved it. Great video!
as someone who speaks cantonese, i'm so happy that you're learning! excited to see your progress 😊
Thank you! 😃 I’m looking forward to learning a lot this year.
it's a pity that the amount of speakers are dwindling tho..
I've only heard that language in martial arts films.
do you not go to chinatowns in the west? though the numbers of speakers are dropping rapidly, there's still quite a bit of them left. @@chuckh4077
Go to china town. They’re predominantly cantonese there.
Love this one! The reason I like your "broke the matrix" videos is because they're so kind. No one is mocking anyone else; you highlight the fact that people are people the world over and that language creates bridges. 🥰
9:22 this literally made me cry she was so excited for her friend to speak English 🥹
That’s so awesome that you’re learning! Love this journey for you! As long as you’re not claiming to speak perfect chinese, I think people will just be happy and excited to see your growth! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Might be my fav new channel for a month. Content is pretty fire
Because of you and your inspiration I’ve learned Spanish AND Chinese and now I’m also studying other languages.💫
wow that is amazing!
¡Me encanta!
@@sumanuel gracias lo aprecio!
It's so wonderful when someone learns a language to develop friendships across the globe.
Good for you, young lady. It's my first visit. You're doing something with your life. You're a good ambassador for the U. S. Thanks
Those kids were so cute! It's amazing how you get to use your Cantonese! great video again great shots too 😉
Thanks Nathan! Luck was on my side that day for sure. Looking forward to filming more with you when you’re back in the spring.
4:44 bro just fell in love 😭
😅😅🎉😂😂😂❤
I love how everyone instantly smiles!
Was just surfing and watched your video, love the surprise on people’s faces. You reminded me of the guy who does this in the states and when he travels to other oriental countries. Great video.
At 7:46. Those kids are so cute! I wish them all the best as they study English.
It's always so fun to watch you interact with the different people you meet. Their expressions and reactions to you are always so genuine. Keep doing what you do and I'm waiting for one million subscribers with you. Everyone please spread the word and share the videos. Love and Peace Oriental Pearl. To you and Tommy. 💗💗
.
I haven't been on CZcams for a while really happy to see you are past 1 million!
Thanks for my needed dosis of 'feelgood tv'. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
You're SOOOO close to 1m subs. I've been watching you for awhle and I'm getting so excited for you!
Hi Pearl i just wanted to let you know I discovered your channel via Instagram while i was on a trip in japan! You played a major part in inspiring me to learn japanese again and i feel much more motivated learning the language this time. Thank you for the inspiration and fun videos! 🖤
I’m glad that you found my channel through Instagram! I’ve been working hard at trying to grow that account.
I loved the interaction with the kids, very heartwarming 😊
Please keep your vlogs going as i enjoy them so very much. ❤❤
The interaction with the kids was super cute! I loved how you practiced with them and asked them questions. It was certainly a great experience for them and an encouragement to study more English. :D Have my thumbs up! *clicks*
Because you can’t live a hundred lives, I like watching your videos to see what it would have been like to move to Asia to study. I studied Japanese in college but ultimately went into healthcare career. Love getting to know you and japan through your eyes.
Another great video. I love the interaction you had with the young children. ❤
That was so heartwarming! Thank you! 🤗❤️
I really enjoy watching your videos. My daughter-in-law is Korean, and I like to learn Korean. There is a local Korean church I thought I could attend to learn more.
My son & her are stationed back in Korean for the next few years.
I also like the videos, to learn more about their culture in those countries. Can't wait for some Korean videos.
i love how u switch from one language to another..... its so smooth
The little girls were absolutely adorable to watch. One was shy but she had a hype girl lol. and the little boy too, he was just not afraid to speak to you. Love your videos! they are just so enjoyable :)
Wow, you blew everybody's mind😮! I loved it👍. That experience is like a dream most people only imagine in their minds. Astonishing to see it can really be a reality too.
The street interview and the kids were great segments! Loved those parts of the video 😁
You always take me to a good place in my heart! Love you and your adventures! It shows so much Respect to other countries when you take the time to learn their language, especially when you are affluent. And the great benefit. you set a good example not only for the country you are visiting, but you help make Americans look good as well.
There are three simple things that break all barriers
1. A Smile --------------- 2. Hello -------------- 3. Thank-you.
Omg congratulations on hitting 1M Subscribers! It must have happened in the last 13 days because you weren’t quite there when this video aired I don’t think. So well deserved. Way to help CZcams maintain a positive reputation 🎉❤
Thank you so much!!
Anming is so powerful that she can break out of every matrix in every language.
Why is she called anming?
@@tiberianexcalibur it's probably her "chinese name", to make it easier for chinese speakers to call her
Videos comes and goes but
Safety is number 1..
Hope You and Tommy are Ok since the Earthquake..
Continue Success
From NYC Manhattan ❤️💋
You are amazing at how quickly you pick up languages. Best wishes in all you do.
Your videos & interactions make me so happy!
OMG the interview part just cracked me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My father is from HK, but he never learned the dialect because everyone spoke English. The only Cantonese he heard was threats from his nanny 🤷🏻♀️😆. My aunt saids she remembers my grandparents speaking some Macanese, and referring to the currency for a few years after they immigrated to SF, but that’s it.
It’s not too late to learn.
I think that you are very gifted with langages . Ok, the method you use is probably excellent , but to me, it’s not enough to justify everything you are able to do. It was a pleasure to see your kindness to people that you don’t know and to see their reactions … thank you to have shared it !
Great content, good narration, cinematography and of course impressive language skills.
Your content never gets old Anming! oh and happy new year! May 2024 be much better than the rough start in Japan.
Beautiful video, thank you. My family and I plan to visit tokyo in a few years when my eldest graduates HS, she has been studying japanese on duolingo for a few years now and was blown away by your video. Thank you for inspiring her to keep trying, once she finished the program i’ll have her start pimsleur just like you said. :) blessings to you from TX
Sending love from Japan to Texas.
Words cannot express how impressed I am with your language skills. It’s really cool to hear you speak English too, because even though you’re American, your accent sounds different than how we speak here. ❤
I just love the happy look's and great smiles you get when you speak in their native language, wonderful !!
I’m so glad you enjoy these videos.
You're interactions with other people are unbelievably interesting!! I think it's funny when somebody is speaking about you in they're language and you answer in their language. Your video content is both fun and witty!! Cheers from Canada!! 🇨🇦
You are amazing. You love people apparently & enjoy socializing.
I'm happy I finally learned your name, after watching so many of your videos.
Congrats on 1M. Been watching since ~20K !!!
Good luck in the future.
Thanks for being here all this time.
Your video really brought up a lot of emotions and memories from when I taught English in Korea and China and my numerous visa runs to Japan. I miss the cute kids, the different food, traditional clothing, interactions with the people and knowing that everyday would be an adventure. Sadly, those days seem to be behind me, so all I have are memories. Thank you for awakening those memories even if a few tears are included. Be safe. I wish I could find a lady like you to have adventures with. I know you're American, but you look German. Machts güt. Daniel in Utah. PS. I remember my first trip to the lovely city of Fukuoka. I don't like seafood, so the first Japanese I learned was Maca-donaldo doko deska? Japanese seems the easiest Asian language to learn.
Ha ha but in reality Japanese is the hardest.
Those kids are sooo cute. especially the girl helping her friend ❤❤
wow this is fascinating !!!!! I don't know how many people are able to do this but its MAGICAL.. I love the reactions, one guy grabbed his heart... now I feel like I'm missing at least 1/2 of reality
I love seeing the quiet people open up immediately as soon as you speak their language.
Couldn't help getting emotional while watching your video. It is really heartwarming to see these people's reaction to you mastering their language. You. young lady, are a rare jewel! You are not only speaking their tongue, indeed, you are an ambassador! I wish that many more American's would do this. Very few people in this country ever learn another language with the exception of hispanic's of course. We need more like you to let the regular people of other county's know that there is a distinct difference between the American people and the American Government!
She came back with a bang 🤯
I swear, these never get old!
Wow. The way you speak their language is just awesome 👌 ❤
Knowing multiple languages is such a flex! Being able to communicate with so many different people is amazing. goals
It would be fun to see that interview 😆
Keep glitching the matrix, Anming. You are doing GREAT! You always put a smile on my face.
She able to speak in so many languages but I’m so impressed with how well she communicates!! I’m shy and awkward and have a hard time keeping up a conversation and finding the right words in 1 language and the fact you can do it so well in multiple is amazing
I just found your channel. I speak, read and write Spanish I learned in 2 years in high school. I did just like you, I would speak Spanish with anyone I thought would be a Spanish speaker and I would listen to the music from Mexico. Consequently when I would travel to any Spanish speaking country, right away the locals thought that I was from northern Mexico because I had listened to the music from there and apparently acquired that accent. I used to travel to Mexico quite a bit with a friend of mine who also spoke Spanish and we would get the same response that you do. We used to have so much fun speaking with the people on the street. I’m 81 now and travel anymore so I really enjoy watching you interact with so many people in the various languages.
I love seeing you speak their language and their reactions.
3:01 that is the most beautiful Kimono ( don't hurt me if I am wrong) I have ever seen. Arigatou Sensei Oriental Pearl. I learn from You.
Love your channel and your talent is a gift! Cheers and keep making videos.
How they have retained their culture, and how humble, sweet and appreciative these beautiful people are. What a fascinating video, thank you for sharing this.
As you see, there are so many Chinese people in Tokyo, Japan. I was confused with this video at first😅
Ha ha! You tricked the Japanese interviewers! 😂
You should definitely do a lot more of those! 👍
✨Happy New Year💫 Pearl, and everyone watching. 🇬🇧

Sensoji Shrine is one of my favorite places in Tokyo. I've used Pimsleur for at least 10 years (lessons on CD), but have had limited time to really focus on learning. However, the times I've used it while in Japan have impressed in conversation. Great video!
So many happy people fabulous to see and hear.👍🥰
