The other day I went into a bunch of Chinese restaurants as an ordinary but kinda clueless white guy and ordered food in fluent Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese). It was a really fun prank and social experiment to see Chinese people’s reactions — both the waiters and the other patrons in these NYC Chinatown restaurants were totally shocked! Thanks everyone for supporting me on my language learning journey — Fuzhounese videos coming up very soon!

I don’t know what’s more impressive, the fact this guy speaks all of these different dialects so well, or how much this guy can eat!

Him being able to speak fluent Chinese is very impressive, but the amount of food he was able to eat is even more impressive.

This is exactly like my British dad in the 1980s. He speaks a few languages fluently. Cantonese (my mum is chinese), Urdu, French and more. It was hilarious seeing the reactions of people. He had a lot of fun practising. As he says in the video, you have to keep speaking it or you'll forget.

I like the first waiter. “You don’t impress me young man” vibes.

Isn’t it crazy how before you speak their language they are very reserved almost like they are bored of Americans . Then you speak their native tongue they come alive
