Calista Vadia h h h h h h h h h h h
Calista Vadia this made my day
Easily the most inspiring Asian model of our time.
I love the way she says, would you like to play ping-pong with me.
Ahhhhh damn is she gorgeous
So are you!!!
Aika she's flawless l!!!
lol
Am I the only one who try to repeat the phrases in all those mother language's videos? haha without success of course lol
tears of effort (ಥ_ಥ)
OMG! got the first few words and couldnt keep up. Very fast speaking... and Im half chinese. I just wanna learn!!! lol
Gabriel Bicalho Lol me too, but in other languages like Hungarian. Without success tho 😂 真遗憾。
@@Artificial_Human she's actually speaking slowly here
Phrase 7 means "Do you want to know your zodiac sign?"
mintyfresh9080 it's like "Do you know which Zodiac Sign you belong to?"
ye it means do you want to know ur zodiac sign ... the english translation was wrong lololol
Me too
Ye you’re right I know Chinese like the back of my hand all the slangs and stuff so yup the translated wrong
exactly omg if you say that to people they'll be like
"what is it?"
'im asking you'
"no you said you know what's my zodiac"
'no i didnt'
she so beautiful and charming
I find this strangely hypnotizing.
Those eyes and dimples in her cheeks......gorgeous 😍
One of the most beautiful languages, I think! And Liu Wen is perfect. Really love this video.
im learning this next year. Im fucked.
Edit: Just so everyone knows im pretty far into the language and i have a solid grasp of the basics. So far im loving this language and i hope other people learn it sometime in their lives! - 12/31/16 (Happy New Year!)
PlasmaticFox it's not an easy language to pick up but with practice you will be fine. Just watch out for the different tones
eyy b0ss Hai sui shuo wo dan xueshi, wo xiang wo suoyou yi jia li jie de zhongwen!
你说什么？我不明白你因为那没有四声和你不可以明白不加四声和文字
eyy b0ss 我说，我迄今获得的语言相当大的把握！
啊我看，好。
amazing that they managed to pack a full guide on how to speak mandarin into a two and a half minute video
The video is so interesting and special!!! Love the tone of the video!! Love Liu Wen!!!
She looks graceful af! Love it!
i-D Edits are the most impressive, creative, and hypnotic ones, my gosh !!!
I learned everything I need to know about Mandarin with this. 11/10
I love her
It makes me really happy and empowered to see women of my descent (Chinese) become famous for their beauty: in the US, Chinese people are shamed because our culture and appearance are in another dimension than that of caucasians (whatever their culture is, which I still don’t kno lol). When I was a child, white-passing minorities or actual caucasians would make fun of my appearance because my eyes werent deep set or close together like theirs. So models like Liu Wen and Xiao, especially when speaking mandarin (like in this video), inspire me to embrace my culture in a society that shuns and steals only the aesthetic parts of the culture. I know maybe this video isn’t that deep, but this is just a thought so whatevs 🤷🏻♀️
The fact you felt the need to be racist in that comment makes you no better than the people that bullied you.
@@Adam-xy4ny Where in this comment was she racist? I am also Asian-American and it's extremely hard for me to pick out anything racially inaccurate that she just said.
@@thefisherman6627 This was a year ago and though it's not racist per se, saying white people have no culture is just as ignorant and she claims white people to be, ans by judging people like that based on racial differences makes her a massive hypocrite. People make out A LOT that being a minority is better than being white (ironic isnt it) why couldnt she just have made a comment about empowering Asian Americans rather than letting us all know about her prejudice (not really racist) attitudes against white people.
I have been learning how to speak mandarin for 5 years now and I have fallen in love with both the language and the culture. 我最喜欢中文。
stunning, her beauty and her mother tongue.
love her she is amazing ! love to learn chinese it so exotic
She is gorgeous!
I love the atmosphere of these videos, so surreal
Awesome video!!! Thank you!!
LOVE her. Chinese pride.
Great material! Well done.
its a really rich language but seems to be soooo hard like russian
russian is not as difficult as we think.
Danilo Alves how do you know that?
i've been studying it since april and I can tell you once you get some basic rules, it becomes easier to understand the language.
Danilo Alves it's still hard for most foreigners to be good at all the grammar rules and mastering the pronunciation takes quite a lot of efforts
Удачи в изучении этого прекрасного, но довольно сложного языка
Уверен, усердие воздастся
Danilo Alves I'm learning 普通话 as my major since 2012, and it becomes worse and worse, more and more difficult... :D
When I saw this three years ago, she automatically became my favorite model.
I just love her.
she"s so beautiful
Love her the most
"It literally means hot and noisy" FREAKING KILLED ME LMAO 😂
i'm learning chinese at school and it's an amazing language
i am chinese，i want to learn english.we can study each other.联系我
Love this video She looks so cool !!
I'm a Chinese who was born in Hk. I'm proud of the ancient culture but not the cruelty of the society :(
a whole QUEEN
i love this video! it looks so sleek
I like the fact that I get to see your home town in the video
Love her
Her dimples. Gorg.
Love her!
oh her eyeliner is amazing gahh
loooooove liu wen's deep voice
i like those serious of video. 谢谢
Liu Wen's stare, her eye's see through my soul
i would say that there are some inaccurate translations...
yeah....kinda dissapointed
I speak Russian and the one with the Russian model was horribly translated, but there's some things that cannot be put in the phrases in one language to another because it would sound "unnatural".
Kembly Chong-Kan Can you tell me which of those phrases?
Say auf wiedersehen to your leben number 7 is wrong it's "would you like to know your zodiac sign"
Siwon must bw so happy seing her gorgeous face
I love the fact that she didn't have blepharoplasty done to make her eyes more beautiful like other models.
she's so freaking gorgeous
Queen
the editing was not as nice as in the other ones....
@@zzh315 Ew.
"would you like to play ping pong with me?" seriously? on a date? the stereotype..... thats equivalent to a french saying "lets eat bruschetta on baguettes and whisper romantic sweet nothings to each other while laying on our silk bedsheets wearing nothing but our birthday suits"......... wait THAT sounds pretty awesome actually
Love it!
Fascinating language
She is so pretty
totally freaking me out!!!
Her eyes are super pretty.
Her stare 😍
she s so pretty
They need to do an African dialect (maybe with Ajak, Ataui, or Grace?)
Absolutely yes!
She's stunning her dimple is so cute it makes me want to learn Mandarin 😚😄
GODDESS
the lady who gave liu the cup of tea spilled some :'D oh wow
Zho ba - that was all I was able to learn from this "lesson".
the feeling the scene tho. spot on
She was born in the year of the dragon, and I checked which year she was born and I was born the same year. Guess I was born in the year of the dragon as well, which is totally awesome.
The flute at the initial sequence(after she introduces herself) sounds exactly like peter gabriel's opening flute tune in Sledgehammer. I like this series.
Ohh it's incredible phrase
This is how you introduce a new culture. Pls take a note D&G
I love the " 谢谢 " ( XieXie ) part😍
好可愛的口音 影片拍得很有質感
do people really expect that i-D is gonna fly a whole crew out to china to film a 2 minute video. all these model mother tongue videos are meant to be somewhat tongue in cheek anyway..cmon guys
Google taught me something like
我爱刘雯 ❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyably random. 谢谢
omg love herrrrrrrrr
love
I've learned how to speak Mandarin,and for me it's sometimes easy to understand(example:ren-people)
Yes!!! Pingpong please! 😁
Queen. 😭💕
I loooooooooooooooooove her
i really like the deep voice
매력적이시다 영상 자체가 웰메이드 영화처럼 미학적이네
Those dimples though 😍
2:02 what song?
She is soooooo cute
a i the only one replaying the closeup scene of her eye when she blinked...beautiful af
I am currently taking Mandarin Chinese 2 and it is indeed quite difficult.
我爱她!
All these Bad 😻need to slide to my dorm
What are the musics used in this clip please ?
太棒了！
A lot of super models, beautiful womens speaking beautiful languages.

I've lived in china all my life and the dumpling one refers to a specific type of dumpling
