LOL

[fliptuner]

The guy in the red has the mannerisms down pretty good too.

[EmperorIS]

i closed my eyes watching this and i had a flashback i was back in high school sitting behind 2 hongers

[iamon]

damn man it reminds me of the time i was waiting at the hong kong airport for my next flight and saw a brown dude speaking cantonese. I haven't seen any caucasian people speak tagalog like a filipino yet tho.

[Leparto]

MIND FUCKK AHHHHHHHHHHH

[Greenstoner]

lol..... got me laughing

[fliptuner]

Really? I've heard EI's speaking perPect Tagalog and Ilocano - probably factory owners.

[jackmeister]

i've seen an East Indian person ordering in cantonese at No. 9 back in the day when they had the night market there.

[TRD Rs200]

HOLY SHIT AHHHH DIU, THERR CHINESSSEEE BETTERRRR THANNNN MEE LORRRR DIUUUU

[FerrariEnzo]

[will068]

Tons of EIs back home...

[iamon]

Tons of EIs back home...

ei's??? as in East Indian? they usually run the 5-6 money lending service in the markets and yeah they speak pretty good tagalog. I was talking about caucasian people.

[tonyvu]

holly shit, they are pretty damn good lol

[chunk_stir]

only one small giveaway when they do their "honger" accent. their 'er' sounds are too proper. ie.

faster, brother, - the 'er' still sounds canadian. It should sound more like:
'fastuh', 'bah-duh'

[hk20000]

^ no the real honger way would be "fastah" and "brothah"

[Mananetwork]

They are damn good!

[Levitron]

The fact that they don't only speak Cantonese, but it's the fact that they can mimic the accent well.

[cool moe D]

That's pretty good haha where I work there's this pretty good looking oriental girl who was raised in India and she has the hindu accent

Maybe the "er" is a mainland influence more than a Canadian one.

[Not really racist!]

holy shit..

that wAS a trip fest

hahahahahaha shittt sonnns!

[Not really racist!]

this chick is pretty epic too, singing though

[fliptuner]

She sounds annoying.

I think it's easier to learn songs in another language since it's more mimicking. That's why a lot of non-English speakers are able to sing English songs and sound decent - even if they don't know what the words mean. Conversational speaking is harder since the right word for the situation needs to be used and the accents within that word should also be correct.

[DiiCii]

LOL whoa, they're good!

[shenmecar]

I was soooooooooooo waiting for "Harro Peter Chao here"

[Bonjour43MA]

I don't' believe.

[SkinnyPupp]

I don't really get why people are so blown away by these guys, who were born and raised in Macau. It's their native language...

[Tim Budong]

I know a few EI that speak perfect cantonese..one actually knows mandarin as well as read/write the language...

born/raised in HK. went through the HK public school system
its not surprising to me any more.

I always see this one white guy at admiralty center who speaks cantonese and orders food in cantonese. its not as amusing either, becuz I see this shit in hongkong anyways

[Boostslut]

Being white and having a Cantonese girlfriend, and trying my best to learn Cantonese from her and her family, i now know that i have a long long ways to go to catch up to these guys. I will not show my g/f's family this, because then it'll put alot more pressure on me!

I was in Sydney Australia with my g/f and her family, and this white guy that worked at the Blue Mountains was speaking perfect mandarine to these chinese people. My g/f's mom picked up one this quickly and said, see if he can do it so can you! You are smarter than him! I was like, no pressure! lol! He said it took him 4 years to learn, so i told her, See? Give me 4 years and i'll be right there too! So in 4 years, i have alot of learning to do! Wish me luck!

They even have the mannerisms down. :lol Gold.

[Presto]

Eff....Color me white, even their Chinglish is better than mine!

[Not really racist!]

In a couple decades theres probably gonna be a large chunk of non-asian people who speak fluent chinese. Then I won't be able to talk shit about them with my asian friend haha.

[Gumby]

The best part of this video is that it appears they were or had been in Richmond! So there's a local connection. :)

You are going to compare yourself, who was probably born and raised in Canada to someone who was born in raised from Macau and speaking their native language?

Some of you guys who are so amazed must of never really traveled or lived outside of Canada for the latter part of your life. Stop living in your bubble, people from all over the world live in different places. These guys are no different than the millions of other people who did not grow up in their ancestral country, including the hundreds of CBC's on this board.

I was wondering if I was the only one who thought this way.

I think I'll make a video of myself speaking English. Maybe it'll get a lot of hits!!!

[Dangerphoto]

Too ging ar.

[chunk_stir]

I think it's not just the fact that they're speaking english, nor canto fluently. Like some of you said, there are tons of young people growing up in countries not native to their parents origins. Those are the effects of globalization.

the funny thing about these guys is how they accurately get the chinglish accents and mannerisms and cross between them... kind of like a beta version of Russell Peters 2.0.

[SkinnyPupp]

They were born and raised there, of course they have the same mannerisms.

[BaoXu]

you guys forgot to mention that they are just as skinny as hongers too.

[SolidPenguin]

Hockey is boring? wtf, go back to hong kong. Silly white people

[Ruff Ryd@s]

:rofl:

[shawn79]

im a chink, i know how to speak and read german:IDL

[!LittleDragon]

I saw people like this all over the place on my trip to Xian, Beijing and Shanghai back in May... thank goodness too cuz I can't speak a lick of mandarin

[Eff-1]

.

[Minata]

even if it might not be any different from a chinese person speaking english...

but how many white guys do you see speaking chinese in a day?
and how many chinese people do you see speaking english in a day?

its just the novelty that makes it interesting. i'm sure if we heard white guys speaking chinese everyday we'd be indifferent... but the fact is, we live in an environment where we don't hence we find this interesting.

[shawn79]

i saw a black guy speaking perfect mandarian (perfect tone) few months back on the bus, he works in beijing.... it was amazing!

[Domani]

once at beijing airport, i heard two foreigners speak to each other in mandarin but their accents were differnt, so i suppose mandarin was their common language.

[PiuYi]

you know chinese people speaking english is pretty trippy too.

en contraire, my friend, the main difficulty in languages is getting the phonetics right
if i remember correctly, english has 1 tone, mandarin has 5, and cantonese has 9, so it is actually remarkably more difficult for a native english speaker to learn cantonese than for a cantonese speaker to learn english

(its also harder for mandarin people speaking cantonese to lose the accent than it is for cantonese people speaking mandarin to lose the accent)

It's their NATIVE language, what does it have to do with what colour their skin is or where their great great great great grandfather came from.

[InvisibleSoul]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNXAGcmjqno&feature=related

Why is it epic? She clearly states in the introduction that she was born and raised in Hong Kong.

What is the difference between that and all of the Chinese people born here in Canada that speak perfectly fluent English? Nothing... absolutely nothing. It is the exact same thing in reverse.

However, I must admit, if it were not for the fact that I took a trip to Hong Kong back almost ten years ago, this might not be that obvious to me either. But when I was over there, obviously I saw some white folks and East Indians there that spoke perfect Cantonese, and then it dawned on me that was perfectly normal and expected.

[Berzerker]

You guys are all idiots if you think its amazing and totally awesome dood. Just because their skin is WHITE doesn't mean they are any less chinese than the people they grew up with. This is HOW THEY WERE RAISED TO TALK. They didn't LEARN to talk this way AFTER growing up they were RAISED to talk this way. Whats more impressive to me is that they don't have an accent when they speak English.

Berz out.

(its also harder for mandarin people speaking cantonese to lose the accent than it is for cantonese people speaking mandarin to lose the accent)English has a lot more than 1 tone, last time I checked. ;) Point taken though; I believe what you're trying to say is that English is a phonetic language (sound is important) while both Mandarin and Cantonese are phonetic + tonal. In other words, having any type of accent will throw off your meanings in Chinese but not in English.

It's got one if u talk like stephen hawkings

[StylinRed]

this isn't really exciting to see anymore... i used to feel unique -_- still kind of do since i can speak some dialects that even asians can't but in HK you actually see a fair amount of brits who can speak canto
