Can Chinese People Understand Me? - Mandarin With Cryptogee - Out And About
A huge thank you to everyone who voted for me and gave me feedback and constructive criticism on the last one of these. I have found some great new people to follow both Chinese and non-Chinese alike, so thank you all!
In this video I attempt another 3 phrases and I also review some of the feedback from the first video; hopefully I have managed to take on board some of the criticism and turn that into a positive.
If you want to skip me waffling on, thanking everyone etc. go to 2:11 on the video which is where I actually start speaking Chinese :-)
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF MY VOCAB AND PRONUNCIATION? WHAT LANGUAGES ARE YOU LEARNING OR HAVE YOU LEARNED? WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEARN A LANGUAGE BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW? AS EVER LET ME KNOW BELOW!

Can Chinese People Understand Me? - Learn Mandarin With Cryptogee - Restaurants
well to be honest I don't unterstand you.. probably has to do something with how i don't know mandarin though :P
You look like a very cool guy to hand out ^__^
Haha, with this comment I went from this :-( to this :-) Lolz
Thanks for the comment :-D

I had the exact same thought when I watched his last video. :D
Hahaha.
That falls firmly into the category of 'phrases-I-never-need-to-know-in-any-language.' Ever.
Great vid. You need to tag it as 'Funny' though!
Haha, cool Nanzo, glad you like it :-D I will add that tag thanks. Oh and you never know when you might need any random phrase :-)

I think its awesome you're learning a new language...its always fun to do...I'm trying to learn Russian...its not going well though. I find it difficult to try to learn a language when there is no one to get feedback from. I never thought to put a post on here and ask others that may speak it for tips like you've done. Its a wonderful idea and I might just copy it. I hope you don't mind. I think Mandarin might be the next one I try to learn. :D
Funny video...Thanks or share it.
applus for you
I tried learning Japanese a few years back and even though it was fun...... I found that there was no one here in Texas to practice with.
Yeah that's the problem; although through my learning app, I've seen a site they recommend to go and practice with real people on. I'll get my proficiency up a bit and then I'll use it and report back.
Thanks for the comment :-)

word to the multi-lingual ! the more comprehension in the world, the better
Definitely! The more I learn languages, the more I learn about different cultures, understanding is the key to getting on :-)

OK I am Bulgarian I don't speak or understend mandarin. It sounds like mandarin but something is missing like it must be more like melody. It is hard to explain.
What is missing is fluency, I speak it like a beginner, give me time! :-)

You are very understandable I think - I didn't get everything, because I'm also a beginner, but I got most of it so I think you sound ok!
Now, a bit about my languages...I'm a native Greek and Italian, fluent in English and French, ok-ish in Romanian and Danish, and I also speak some German and Turkish. In Theology school I did also Hebrew and Arabic but can't say I remember much, unfortunately. I'm mostly into Latin languages as you see, so Chinese has nothing to do - but still like it and wanna go for the challenge! :D
